American Girl Store

Well I have been delaying my posts because I wanted to do them all in order, but then I fell behind!  So I will just post what's new and play catch up in later posts.

Yesterday, we spent the day in Denver at the American Girl store for Molly's birthday celebration!  She got AG gift cards from everyone...they must know she likes it!  I am always so impressed with how patient Molly is about things.  The traffic on the way up was horrible so it took longer than usual to get up there.  Whitney asked several times if we were almost there but Molly just waited.  She was so excited when we finally made it!

 

She picked out the things she wanted, which included a leash for her dog, sunglasses, an earring holder and closet.

Then she watched Molly doll get her hair done!

She stood there the whole time.

All the girls!

 

 

Went to the Disney store and Lego store afterward.

Organizing all her AG stuff.

I think Whitney may be ready for her own American Girl.  She loves when she gets to take care of Molly and hold her.  She's always very gentle with her. 

 

My favorite days are when we get to hang out together as a family and don't have any time deadlines.  It was so nice to just hang around in the store just doing what the girls wanted to do without having to rush them.  The Lord has certainly blessed me with a wonderful little family.

 

 

Pizza Time!

I can't believe how fast time flies!  People always tell you to cherish the time you have with your babies because they'll be in school before you know it, and my how true that is!  I only have one year left with my baby Whitney.  This time next year she'll be in kindergarten!  I was reminded of time tonight while we were watching Toy Story 3.  In the movie, Andy grows up and is going off to college.  I was just bawling at the end thinking about when my kids are that age.  I pray the rapture happens before then!  In the meantime, I will enjoy watching my girls grow!

Fall time is the busy time for my photography business.  September and October for photographers is what April is to accountants!  These last two weeks came and went so fast. 

I try to put a special time aside to let my girls cook or bake something each week and last week it was making pizza muffins!  It's nice when I find fun recipes that are easy enough for them to do by themselves.  Any time I do anything with dough, they want to help.  It's got to be the squishy feeling, who doesn't like playing with dough?!

 

While I was explaining to Molly how to spread the pizza sauce around, she said "I know how to do this part mommy, I saw it on Noodle and Doodle."  It was the cutest thing! I love how innocent my children are, they don't watch crazy cartoons, they watch educational ones, lol! 

 

Putting the pepperoni's on!
