Carly and Molly had a little birthday party at Christine's and Carly helped make the cupcakes. I think she's preparing for a career on The Food Network



Patiently waiting for a cupcake (don't let her hairstyle fool you, she hasn't been waiting since the 80s).


Molly's first introduction to sugar. She seems a little hesitant.


Always willing to try something new....


I think she likes it!


Last weekend we had a little first birthday celebration for Molly. The Schahls, the Kitsons and part of the Strocks made the trek to MN to party with us.

Don't let this picture fool you, she really does like Aunt Jen.


Aunt Jen and Carly. Carly is modeling the "Fancy Nancy" dress that Aunt Jen (Strock) brought for her. Thanks Jen!


Molly's not really in the mood for pictures.


and she doesn't care who else is in them.


Would you just give me the cake already!!


Carly offered to help blow out Molly's candle.


It always starts out so nice and lady like.


Still not too bad.


Oh do I have a little on my face?


Well then I may as well just dig in....





Opening presents in a sugar coma.



Check out this cool elephant from Aunt Jen (Schahl)


Carly LOVED getting to spend time with Isaac. She thinks he is pretty fantastic.


About a week ago I got a call from Christine (daycare provider) letting me know that Molly took a spill. She's not walking on her own yet but loves to push things around and walk behind them. Well on this particular day, the giraffe she was pushing around got away from her and she took a digger on the concrete. Fear not the freezie made it all better.



Funny thing is that very same night Carly was running in the driveway and also took a digger.



Mommy didn't have any freezies but the ice cream cone helped.





Nothing really seems to slow them down!


Looks like I don't have any of the "really good" pictures from when they were both scabbed little monsters. Two little girls with big nasty scabs on their noses will certainly make people comment! In other news, just last night while getting ready to read stories Carly tripped on something and dove head first into the side of the crib. I knew we were in trouble when I saw there was a big gouge out of the crib. Fat, split lip and some bloody gums but no permanent damage. Daddy to the rescue...he got her all calmed down and cleaned up and ready for stories. This morning, however, she was playing with her tooth so I look in her mouth and pulled out two big splinters from her gums!!

Well that's all for now.
Happy father's day to the two best dad's in the world, Dad and the hubs (aka Putz and Putz Jr)
