Bathtub Fun!

Molly is a BIG fan of bathtime! 
 Here are a few pictures of her in the tub playing with her toys!


Molly is all smiles despite the bump from her faceplant earlier that day (Meg - I think she's trying to match Lexie with the head bumps :))

Yup - she likes the dolphins just like her MaMa

All Clean!

Let's go to the Zoo!

Molly & I headed off to the Philadelphia Zoo where we met up with my friend Dana and her daughter Addison!  Molly really got a kick out of seeing the animals - just like the ones she has seen in her books (Thanks to her Aunt Debbie, Uncle Mike, Marissa & Spencer).  It was a VERY hot day, but that did not dampen the fun factor!

When Molly first saw the gorilla, it was like she turned around and said "Seriously?"  

"Look Addie - Gorillas!  Pass it on!"
"Look Ryan - Gorillas!"

Molly sat right down next to this Gorilla and started carrying on a very full (although one-sided) conversation.

Dana & I tried to get "the perfect" picture - their so stinkin' cute they are all perfect to us :)

Molly & Addie sharing a laugh

After seeing the "real" gorillas inside, Molly was VERY unsure of the statue outside - she could not be convinced it was not real.

Molly checking out the zebras!

Posing for a picture before we headed back to the car! 
(Thanks for the picture Dana!)

Random fun times in April!

Just some more cute pictures!


Molly's new favorite chair from Uncle Russ, Aunt Meg, & Lexie!

A little lovin' for my angel!

Molly's friend Joshua was having a swinging good time at the park!

Molly spilled on her shirt, so Auntie Carol let her borrow one of hers!

Molly & Hannah are discussing their musical selection at Laura's Bridal Shower

Swinging with shades!

Molly checked out the swan at the park...another sure sign that Spring was here!

Mesmerized by the swan!
Seal it with a kiss!

Rocking the shades from Mimi!

Easter Day Part 2!

Next Brad, Molly, Bailey and I went to Brad's Mom's house for Easter dinner and some more Easter fun!  Molly had a blast hunting for Easter eggs and playing with everyone - she was loving all the attention from her Uncles & her Mimi and TG...and of course the dogs!


Molly and Bella!

Molly's 2nd Easter dress!

Molly was enjoying her treats in the Easter Eggs she found and watching her Mimi intently for what was going to happen next!

Molly had fun playing with her Uncle Chris' phone - nothing but smiles all day!


(One small note: there were a lot more pictures taken from Brad's mom's house, but Molly must have been able to get her cute little hands on the camera, b/c the settings were all changed, and they were all WAY over-exposed.  More pictures will come the next time we visit with ALL of her Uncles and Mimi & TG.  I am SO sorry for this "error")

Easter Day - Part 1!

Easter Morning, we (Brad, Molly Bailey, Kristin & her dog Parker) all headed over to New Jersey to my Mom's.  We went to church first (the dogs hung out in the cars:)), and then headed back to the house for some Easter fun.  Both girls (although punchy from being super-duper tired) were adorable as always in their Easter dresses.  The time flew by, but it was treasured!

Molly in her first Easter dress :)

Lexie was VERY excited to show her cousin the slide - it belonged to Russ & I when we were kids - and was a HUGE hit with the girls.

So of course, Meg and I tried valiantly to get the "perfect" picture of the two girls on the slide

We tried...
And tried...and realized that getting 2 one-year-olds to sit still and smile and look at the camera at the same time while sitting on top of the slide they so desperately wanted to go down, was just plain silly :)
But ya'll get the idea!

My lil' niece - so stinkin' cute!

Kisses!

Brad spent a lot of time outside entertaining Bailey and Parker - And Molly wanted to make sure her DaDa got a lot of Easter love!

No - Brad did not grow taller, and Russ did not shrink - Meg and I are just married to a couple comedians :)  Thanks for taking the picture Kristin! :)

Gabe's Birthday Party at the Jump Factory!

Molly was lucky enough to get invited to her friend Gabe's birthday party at the Jump Factory (all indoor inflatables).  To say that she had fun would be an understatement.  My best friend Kristin was down visiting for the weekend and joined Brad, Molly & I in jumping craziness!


Molly had fun with the little slide with Aunt KiKi

Molly & her Daddy were two kids in a candy store!  

Brad, Molly & the Birthday boy - Sliding fun!!!

Woo-Hoo! Do it again!

Molly & Brad were getting very adventurous - Molly was going down backwards by the end of the day!

"One more time DaDa!!!"

Molly slam-dunked DaDa!

Pausing for a photo-op with Kristin!

More bouncing fun!

And to finish the party, everyone got their own cup-cake and their own candle to blow out!  A great ending to a great day!

Brad's Birthday Dinner with the Allen Family!

Our friends, the Allen's, have several birthdays around the same time as Brad's.  So we invited them over for dinner for a Birthday celebration.  Molly had a really good time helping DaDa open his gifts!

Carol got Brad a John Deere T-shirt - and Molly loves her Auntie Carol's actual John Deere tractors (she can climb up on them all by herself - not running of course:))
Already learning to "borrow" the good t-shirts from DaDa
(Just like her MaMa)


"MaMa Look!"

Hanging with Auntie Carol!

Lunch with Grandmom (or Mimi as Molly calls her!)

Molly & I took a quick trip over to New Jersey to meet my Mom for lunch.  Molly had a blast with her Mimi!

Coloring with Mimi!
So fun!!!

Love for Mimi!
