Videos of Molly

I guess it's about time to post again seeing as it's almost been a month! March was a lot of birthday power. Sara's birthday was last Saturday and Molly's was the following Monday (2 days apart). We partied hardy at Hogle Zoo and Kaysville. Molly liked the animals at the zoo and didn't get eaten by any of them. We went to Rodizio grill to celebrate Sara's birthday and then to a movie afterward. It's been a long time since we've watched a movie and it was pretty nice! (but we still dig Netflix) Sara turned a grand old 25 years old and I was able to find a 1986 quarter in her honor. This also begins the period of the year when I am younger than Sara. It's short-lived (2 months) but it's always a fun taunt til my birthday.

Molly got lots of toys for her birthday which were not quite as interesting as the paper they were wrapped in. In true fashion we reduced her to a diaper and let her dig in on her cake. Well, "dig in" is not adequate. She ate like she was at a fancy ball wearing a prom dress. It was about as girly as it gets and I think she was even lifting her pinky half the time. Not so exciting but a good laugh.

One of Molly's old toys has become her new versatile multi-purpose toy that occasionally doubles as fancy bracelets. She also likes to hold Mom's purse and strut around but we didn't have good video of that.

Molly got a block bucket for her birthday that is severely flawed in that the lid comes off way too easy. We tried to teach Molly to put the blocks in the corresponding shaped hole but she thinks that is silly and takes off the lid so she can put the blocks right in the bucket. She is definitely in control with that toy.

Molly also got a tea set from Frank and Amy. She hasn't figured out how the sounds work or what it is for, but she has figured out that the teacups and cupcakes fit very nicely into her ball popping toy. I found them in there today when the toy was all jammed up. Luckily we got them out and the ball popping toy is recovering.

Other than that we are lovin Cottonwood Heights. We are mourning the passing of the ice fishing season (Fred more than Sara) but excited for the resurrection of the golf season. Sara is loving the warm weather and thus the end of her boredom inside the apartment while it's so dang cold outside. We are also thinking about a summer (or any time of the year we want) vacation! (This sentence was followed by Fred's maniacal laughter upon realizing that the shackles of school are no longer binding)
