BOWS, BOWS, BOWS! and HOLDERS :)

So as I am not working I am busy finding other things to make me feel "valuable" One such endever has been making bows and bow holders for Molly first. Since she on no certain terms lets me know what colors she needs. Did I create this monster? And since so many of my great friends have had girl babies recently it just seems the natrual gift to give! I've thought about selling them.... but don' t know if it would be something people would be interested in. I have yet to make one for Molly but she was my inspration as her bows are taking over!! and are EVERYWHERE!

Quick Catch Up

Well as it is the beginning of June and my last post was about the end of March we have been busy. Or should I say I have been busy chasing kids and not finding anytime to sit and write. But luckily for me both kids are down napping, dinner is ready, and I don't have a million other things that I should be doing! haha.. at least that I can remember right now!

April was a pretty quite month for us. I went to Vegas the first week for a good friends baby shower and to catch up with some great friends! While Aaron had some great time with the kids!!! It was a much needed break for me as Aaron spend much of the previous 2 months out of town. Bike riding around State College during a few nice weekends, and just enjoying daddy were our highlights!

We spent Easter in Pittsburgh at my parents house with the rest of the Siegele clan. It was a great time and the kids had a lot of fun dying eggs, or Molly really, and looking for them the next morning!

Easter Fam!

Look at what the Easter Bunny brought!!

May was busy again... or so it feels like that when Aaron is gone.  This time it was for 2 weeks as he did some recruiting and coaching in the East. It finished up with Molly's end of the year program at school, a new tooth for Macon now up to 5, and the "tunnel pool" finally opening! Molly was a little apprehensive on Saturday but by the middle of this week was back to her swimming ways! Off the diving board but not as thrilled about it as she was last year! We'll see how the summer goes!

Can't believe that Molly is done with one year of preschool.  This year was the mixed age, because she was an expereinced and older 2.5 and next year the 3s!! She is getting so big and just a sharp little girl! Keeps me on my toes that's for sure!

DC Weekend March 17-20

So it seems lately that we are really on the go and what I really mean by that is Macon is on the go..... so are Molly and Mommy, chasing him everywhere! Macon started walking March 18th just shy of 13mos. We were in DC visiting Kenzie for her big 1st birthday and I set him down on the floor to stand and then Uncle Brett counted four steps... just like that. He is really on the move now!!! He is really enjoying his new found freedom!

Walking to Gram!

Walking to the Smithsonian

While Aaron was in Austin, TX for women's NCAA's the kids and I headed down to DC for a long weeked full of wonderful weather and excellent basketball! Aunt Jessie, Uncle Brett the kids and I all spent Friday walking DC to the "zoo" as Molly calls it but really the Natural History Smithsonian. For some reason Molly hasn't quite figured out why the animals don't move at this particular zoo. But she loves it none the less!! We then headed back to Arlington to watch some great basketball!

Kenzie's 1st birthday party was a blast. She was a great hostess and we all really enjoyed celebrating with her! I had SO much fun designing and creating the invites, and decorations for the party! May have found a new calling in life. This stay at home mom thing is making me a crafter!!!

Macon even had his first hair cut this weekend!! He did great. Sat him down with a plate full of cheerios and that was all he needed! was as happy as a clam... I don't think he even realized what we were doing!

The next week was spent at home while daddy was at men's NCAA's in Minn. It was an uneventful week until Friday afternoon when Macon decided to dive off one of Molly's kitchen chairs and knock his left top tooth out of his socket. He cried for a couple minutes and once I got the blood out of the way I noticed that his tooth was sticking strait up into the sky! I called the dentist and an hour and some novicane later we were put back together. He was such a trooper and you really can't tell that it even happened except for that his tooth is pushed just slightly forward due to his avid thumb sucking!! But he did a great job!!! Boys!!!!

Immediately after getting home (hense the reward sticker) can't you tell he just knocked out a tooth!!
