Molls stretching out in her big girl car seat! Such a lady-like pose :)

Molly found a new love...chairs!

Still has her old love though of the pantry :)

Getting all ready to give Mommy her diaper after a nice bath...clean babies are so nice!

Our beautiful ballerina! Emily had her 1st ballet/tap recital and was the hit of the night! She got so many compliments from audience members and did a great job and had a blast :)

Easter Eggstravaganza :)

2009-04-27T07:00:00.000-07:00

We had a great time this year for Easter and took advantage of all of the easter egg hunts that were offered in our area. We started with a hunt put on by our neighborhood, which was a nice introduction for Molly since it was small and simple! Then we did something a little different and participated in the North County Pool egg hunt in the wading pool! It was a lot of fun, but went by really fast with all the floating eggs pretty much staying in one place! (pics from that hunt are on a friends camera) Sebastian had a big egg hunt event by the park with games, singing, dancing, hunting and the Easter Bunny. We thought we were going to be rained out at that one, but luckily only needed our umbrellas for a bit. Finally we had our easter at the house with the visit from the Easter Bunny and a hunt for Emily. I can only imagine what it will all be like next year!

Its Fair Time!

Riding on the Merry Go Round...1st ride of the evening

Emily had been so excited to ride down the Potato Sack Slide with Daddy. She had been looking forward to it all week. She flew down that thing!!

This was the Construction Zone ride that Emily got to ride all by herself. She was singing a song the entire time the ride was moving and smiling away.

The Swings! I was so excited to take Emily on this ride because it was always my favorite when I was little. She never stopped smiling during the entire ride and informed me that you can kick your feet around and scream and laugh as much as you want!

We ended our evening at the fair with a trip on the Ferris Wheel. We had a great time and next year will definitely be purchasing the tickets ahead of time and using the armband night of unlimited rides!

Let's go fly a kite.....

2009-03-30T18:10:00.000-07:00

We decided to get a kite for Emily and spent a gorgeous Sunday morning flying it. She had a great time and can't wait to do it again!

Fun in the Pantry!

2009-03-30T17:58:00.000-07:00

Someone has discovered the pantry and all the fun that it can bring :) Molly loves taking Emily's snacks out of the basket, placing them on the shelf and back to the basket to do it all over again. Obviously it requires a little tasting too :)

Just some cute moments from the girls...

2009-02-09T04:59:00.001-08:00

What did Mommy do to me? Where am I? ...Mommy decided to have some fun with me at Ikea!

Hmmm...How am I going to get that puk?

What a happy baby!!

Emily was showing off her flowers that she and Daddy bought for her house.

Where's there a will, there's a way :)

2009-01-29T11:38:00.000-08:00

I so enjoyed watching her little mind work, along with those busy legs...trying to figure out how to get the spoon!

The next Ebert or Roeper??

2009-01-29T11:31:00.000-08:00

Molly has found a new fascination of pulling the basket of movies out and going thru every one, as if she is looking for the best choice. Perhaps instead of a thumbs up or down, it has to go thru a taste test!! :)

Dressed to the nines!

2009-01-20T06:23:00.000-08:00

So the other day I was putting Molly down for a morning nap and caught this image of Emily out of the corner of my eye. I had to double back and check if that was what I thought I saw...yes apparently you have to be dressed up from head to toe to go potty!! There were earrings, necklaces, sunglasses, and ballet shoes completing the event :)

Cute Christmas pics...

My Christmas Darlings...

2009-01-09T18:41:00.000-08:00

This Christmas was so much fun with both of the girls. Its always exciting to see a baby's first Christmas, see them attack the wrapping paper and ribbons and just smile and drool the day away. With Emily it is so exciting to see how much she enjoys the holidays and being around all of the family. This year she wanted to pick out people's presents all by herself...a watch for Mommy, the Batman and Indiana Jones movies for Daddy and a blowup penguin for Molly. Some of her other picks for the family included spongebob golf balls, seashell flip flops, snowflake slippers, a scuba diving picture book, pajamas, and different color tea!! Cant wait for next year and all the fun with the girls!!!

Here's some more....

Emily's Letter to Santa

2008-12-04T05:57:00.000-08:00

We were at the mall the other day and Emily went and said hi to Santa and found out that she could write her letter there and put it in his mailbox. She went over to a table and proceeding to write her name though did it from right to left, but in the correct order!! YLIME :) I helped her write the toys she would like ask for and then she was off to put it in Santa's mailbox. She's growing up so fast and Im enjoying all of the new things we get to do with her as she gets older.

Thanksgiving Pictures...

Hope everyone had a happy turkey day!!

Emily's view on marriage...

2008-11-11T17:44:00.000-08:00

Tonight something came up about our wedding day, so I decided to show Emily our wedding album and let her see all of the pictures. She loved looking at them and seeing us and the family and has recently come to understand why she wasn't there. The cutest thing about looking thru them was her observation of my wedding dress. She believes that Daddy, the "prince", went out and picked a pretty dress for Mommy, the "princess" from the marry store! Everything is a marry something! My fav was the marry hat I wore, aka the veil! Its always so cute to hear her way of describing things!

My darling daughter....

2008-11-07T18:47:00.000-08:00

This evening before we headed out to the Clam Bake Festival, my darling daughter had an opinion of what I was wearing. She very matter-of-factly said "mommy that shirt looked better on you when you had a baby in your tummy." To top this off...it wasnt even a shirt a wore when I was pregnant!! I guess I can always guarantee an honest answer from her!

A cute quote from Emily....

2008-11-04T08:40:00.000-08:00

"Daddy, can you shrink your age so you can play with me?"

Happy Halloween from the girls!

2008-11-04T08:33:00.000-08:00

Here are some cute pics from Halloween. Emily was the Little Mermaid and Molly was SuperMolls!

Emily the Political Analyst!

2008-10-23T13:53:00.000-07:00

Today while on the phone with my mom, Emily let me know that she had a question for Nana. Emily proceeded to take the phone and ask "Nana, why do you like John McCain?" I could hear my mom's laughter as she stated to Emily that she just doesn't like Obama. Emily then let her know that "when John McCain wins, we will be very sad, but when Barack Obama wins we will be very happy!!" Its so simplistic in the mind of a 3yr old :)

Fall Pumpkin Fun :)

2008-10-18T20:41:00.000-07:00

We had a fun filled Friday with friends and family. We started with a trip to a local pumpkin patch with a couple of Emily's friends and Mommies too! Emily picked out a pumpkin for herself and didn't forget to get one for Molly. Molly had fun watching the big kids play around in the pumpkins, trying to pick them up and find the biggest one in the patch. Later that night we went to Boo at the Zoo for some trick or treating and activities. It was a nice night, though a little muggy and buggy! Emily posed "scared" in the make-shift graveyard on her Little Mermaid costume. Molly pretty much played with the pumpkin treat basket the whole time! It was a nice evening and we are looking forward to some more Halloween and fall pumpkin activities planned for the end of the month.

The Math Team's Littlest Helper!

2008-10-18T05:56:00.000-07:00

On Friday we all went to the JV football game to get out of the house for a bit. Emily very quickly became Mrs. O'Brien's little helper ( a math team mom). She told me that she helped make the hotdogs, but needed help from a grownup. She put popcorn boxes together, collected money and handed out change, drinks, etc. She was having so much fun and feeling like such a big girl. We went and watched the game and cheerleaders for a bit, but were quickly told by Emily "I have to get back to work, there are lots of customers who want hotdogs!" In the end she even helped pick up the concession stand and was so sad it was all over!!

Last night she wanted to go back to "Daddy's work and help with customers" though it was an away game :)

We're proud parents...

2008-10-06T12:39:00.000-07:00

Just had to share with everyone that Emily can write her name, Molly's name and a few other letters in the alphabet. It is amazing how fast it all happens. She came to me the other day and showed me that she could write an O, H and I...now in just a couple days she knows how to spell her name! Im sure we are on a roll now!

What did you say??

2008-10-05T15:46:00.000-07:00

This evening while we were cooking dinner, Emily went into the kitchen and asked for a "potabowl". Neither Chris or I could figure out what she was trying to ask for, even after repeated attempts from Emily. Finally, out of her frustrastration with our lack understanding she simply stated, "You know, its kinda cold and you hold it on a stick and you lick it." Of course we now know with her explanation she meant "popsicle" :)...sadly for her after all of this, we dont have any in the house!!

The best sound on earth!

2008-10-01T04:54:00.000-07:00

We finally took some video :) How is a baby's laughter not the best sound in the world? It can change your mood in an instant and make you smile from ear to ear....

Rolling, Rolling, Rolling...

2008-09-18T18:10:00.000-07:00

Today during some fun floor time, Molly finally made that extra heave ho and rolled herself over from back to stomach! She has been so close for weeks now and we have been patiently waiting for her happy little achievement in the world of a 4mos old! Emily was so happy for her, clapping and jumping up and down, shouting "She did it! Great job Molly, you did it! WhaHoo!!" Lets just hope that excitement and enthusiasm regarding her little sister sticks through the teenage years. She is now one step closer to being mobile....uh oh for us :)

4mos checkup and getting so big!

2008-09-15T10:13:00.000-07:00

Molly had her 4mos dr appt and is getting so big!! She weighs in at 14lb 1 1/2 oz and is 26in long! It amazes us how much time as already gone by and before we know it she'll be crusin' everywhere and talking up a storm like her big sister. She is an amazing baby and we are so lucky to have 2 wonderful girls!

Emily loves....

2008-09-10T16:30:00.000-07:00

Tonight as I was getting Molly ready for bed Emily shouted out from her room "I love you Mommy." It was so sweet, though Chris then asked her "what about Daddy?" Her reply was so sweet and genuine..."but I love all my family!" Its moments like these that really show us how fast she is growing up and how much about life she understands even at the tender age of 3!

Out on the boat

2008-09-08T10:35:00.000-07:00

We had fun this weekend spending some time out on Grandma and Papa's boat. Molly enjoyed the rocking motion as it put her to sleep...how she could sleep in the lifejacket amazes me :) She did find the trip back to the dock lots of fun as she laughed and smiled when we went fast! Emily has been loving swimming this summer and she jumped into the inlet with Daddy and Papa this trip out. She was able to play in the sand a little and cool off in the water while Mommy and Grandma watched from the dry boat :) We'll wait to jump in the pool at home!

2008-09-08T10:26:00.000-07:00

I thought this was so funny...apparently even though she was sleeping she didnt want to let go of her rings. The playing never stops in her world :)

Our little gymnast!

2008-09-08T10:16:00.001-07:00

Our little gymnast!! We go every Saturday for Acrotots and watch em go from station to station. Its the first time she is doing a class on her own, listening to her teachers and having us watch from the "parents room." So far her favorites seem to be hanging on the bar and doing "flips" and jumping on the trampoline. It brings back memories for me and I love watching her!

2008-09-08T09:58:00.000-07:00

I thought this was so sweet! Molly was playing on the floor and started fussin a little and Emily decided that "her sister will read her a story and that will make her not cry" Molly was glued to her and you just couldnt help but smile.

Mom! Come Look!

2008-09-06T05:13:00.000-07:00

Emily came rushing into the laundry room telling me I just had to come look at what she had done...She was beaming and chuckling with pride! Apparently Molly wanted to play with some toys while swinging and her big sister wanted to oblige :)

Sharing Our Family!

2008-09-05T06:37:00.000-07:00

I decided to start this blog for our family and friends that don't get to see the girls as often as they wish. I hope to be able to leave cute stories and pictures as they happen, not to mention help me chronicle both the everyday and special moments of our girls. I hope everyone enjoys the Emmy N' Molls page :)
