My Little Gardeners

The kids got some flower seeds at a birthday party last weekend.  Tyler has been asking ever since to plant them.  I finally got some potting soil today and they had fun.  I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

Tyler decided Molly would plant hers in pots and he'd plant his in the ground. When we told Molly she was going to put her seeds in the pots, she put the whole envelop in and thought that was it.  Cute!

 We'll see if we get any to grow.  I don't really have a green thumb, so who knows. 

May Day

We took a few neighbors and one friend some flowers for May Day.  I had told Tyler how I remember me and Kim doing this when we were kids.  He thought it sounded fun.  Angie lives across the street and was widowed last year. She's very sweet.  Jim and Mary live down the street and are so nice.  They always bring the kids Christmas, Easter, Valentines, Halloween, and birthday presents.  Tyler always sees Jim going to get the mail and he zooms up to him on his bike or scooter and chats.  They were both surprised.



For Jim and Mary, we hid after we rang the doorbell.  That's why they're on the ground. 

Then we took some to our friend, Andrea.  She and her daughter, Courtney loved them too.

Best Friend

My best friend, Dana was here two weekend ago.  We had such a good time.  She was her for a conference.  She got in Thursday afternoon and we just hung out and she played with the kids.  Molly loved her.  Tyler wanted to show and tell her everything.  Friday evening we went out to dinner.  It was a fun girls night.  We had yummy food and great margaritas at El Chapperal.  Then we went shopping.  Sadly, she had to leave Saturday morning.  It was her hubby's birthday and she has 2 boys.

 

She talked me into wearing heels with my skinny jeans.  What do you think?



Molly's birthday party

We had Molly's 2nd birthday party on a Friday morning.  I figured this way whole families wouldn't have to come, just the moms and kids.  Grandmom & Grandpop Shobe did come over from Houston, so Scott took the day off work.  It worked out that it was early release for Tyler, so he was home for most of it.  When everyone first arrived, they just played outside for awhile.  Then we came in for a little game-pin the tulip on the stem. While they did that game, Tyler hid lots of fun things outside for our scavenger hunt.

After all the goodies were found, we had lunch.

I had cute hanging balls, but didn't get them in the picture.

 

After lunch, they played more and then we had cupcakes.  I told Molly we were about to do her cupcakes, then asked which candles she wanted.  I went to get the lighter and when I came back Molly was gone.  I found her outside with a cupcake and frosting all over her face.  Silly girl!  I didn't get a picture though because Grandmom got her cleaned up too fast.

Next was gifts.

This gift from Courtney was a hit.  It has a pretend hair dryer, curling iron, barrettes, brush, mirror.

This is Molly's favorite person in the world-Andrea.  Molly just loves her and stayed with her almost the whole party. 

I think Molly had a fun time.  I still can't believe she is two!

Adorable 2 year pictures!!

I haven't had time to get Molly's birthday party or birthday day post up.  But I did get her 2 year pictures back and they are adorable!! 

This is her favorite dog, "out."  She has many dogs, but he is her favorite.  She takes him everywhere.

I love how happy she is here!!

Molly did have her 2 year check up today.  Yea for no shots!!  She is 68th percentile for height - 34.4 inches and 5th-10th percentile for weight- 24.3 lbs.  

She's Two!!

I can't believe this little thing is already two. I'll have a longer post later this week with her 2 year pictures and all the things she's been up to.  I'll have a post of her birthday party and her fun day today too. 

Movin' on up

Look who graduated to a big girl swing.  She loves it!!
