Babies Day Out

We took Magnolia to the park the other night and she insisted that her babies get to come. Boy did those babies have fun! Magnolia pushed them on the swings, they had a race down the slides and Magnolia gave them each turns going down the slide with her. She sure is going to be a good mommy some day!

Soccer

Magnolia started soccer a few weeks ago and loves it! She is the only girl on a team of 12. I must say it is the cutest thing to watch! All of these itty bittys running around a soccer field. Adorable! Magnolia does pretty well but it is very clear the difference between boys and girls gross motor skills at this age! It is hard to take pictures because it is an indoor arena so these pics will have to do.

Sunflower Farm

Magnolia and I had a fantastic morning yesterday. We went to Sunflower Farm with her neighborhood friends, Brayden and Tahlia. The weather was perfect and all 3 kids had a blast! They got to feed llamas, climb in tree houses, play in corn and sand, swing on huge swings, lay in a hammock, play on tractors, pet many animals and have a picnic lunch.

The past week or two

I realized that I have not blogged for a bit but have some adorable pics to share! The first picture is Magnolia wearing puppets on her feet as slippers. She was so very proud of herself that she thought to do that! She looks so tall in this picture!

The second picture is what I walked into one afternoon. I went to the grocery store and when I came home I found Magnolia and David making muffins. (In matching aprons of course!) Mmm they were delicious! They can make muffins anytime!

The third picture is a pic that we had to take for Magnolia's school. She had to bring in a picture of her family so this is it!

The last picture is the look Magnolia insisted on when getting ready to eat breakfast. Who knew breakfast could be such a fancy affair!

First 14er

Magnolia and I did our first 14er this weekend...which means we went to the top of a mountain that was above 14,000 feet! We went on the highest paved road in North America and then climbed a bit to reach the top. The climb and scenery once we reached the top was spectacular. If you are wondering just how high we were check out the clouds! We were truly almost in them! Amazing! The part that I did not enjoy was the drive, it was very scary! At one point I had tears in my eyes! Magnolia on the other hand thought it was really fun and was not phased by the fact that we were on very steep/winding/bumpy roads that were inches from falling off the side of the mountain! :)
We also have a new photographer in our family. Magnolia has been really into taking pictures and we have posted 2 of them in this post. The one of just me and the one of David and I were taken by our little munchkin!

First Day Of School

Magnolia had her first day of preschool today and it was VERY successful! David woke her up and she was happy and ready to go! She asked for a special breakfast so she got to have waffles on a fancy plate. Then off to school we went! David went to work late so that he could drop her off with me. She was all smiles and had no problems when we left. When I picked her up she was very happy and said she had a great time. Then she said "ask me if I enjoyed myself." So, I asked if she enjoyed herself and she said "Oh yes mom, I really did!" So cute! She then said "what was your favorite part of doing your mommy work when I was at school?" Ha she is so darn funny! I am SO very happy that she had a great first day of school!

Grandpa's trip to the dentist

My dad flew out for a day last week to sit in David's dental chair for a few hours. Magnolia and I only got to see him for a few weeks but we made the most of it! Next time I think he might need to stay a bit longer!
