Riverbend Farm for some pumpkin picking

We tried out a new pumpkin patch this year and I'd say it was pretty good.  The girls loved it and it was a great start to our fall festivities :)

Molly's birthday in Utah

We got to celebrate Molly's birthday with her birthday buddy, Freddie, in Utah! Andrew is chapter chair for the BYU alumni association in Charlotte and there was a conference he had to attend at BYU so we all tagged along.

One morning after dropping Andrew at his meetings we passed by the stadium and I couldn't help but stop and let the kids get out for some pictures :)

 
It was so fun to spend some down time with Emily, Freddie, Laura and Amy.  So crazy to think that I have 4 siblings in Utah.  While Andrew was at meetings the girls and I mainly hung at Emily's house and let all the girlies and Henry play.  Like usual, Emily was much better at documenting our time together so here's some of what we did together.

Emily was so nice to host a little bday party for Molly and Freddie.  Yummy food and good company! What more could you want?!

Time sure flies and now Molly is 2.  She is such a feisty little thing.  She talks so much and it seems like she knows so much more than the other two girls did at this age.  It probably has something to do with having two older sisters.  She loves watching Barbie life in the dreamhouse and Peppa Pig.  She could seriously watch either of those all day and she thinks the ipad is hers.  If it is anywhere in sight, she has to have it.  She is not a very good listener and usually responds most requests with "no way." Haha it started off being kind of funny but now I'm realizing it's not cute ;) She still seems like the baby but I've got to realize she's old enough to know better so we've been trying to discipline her a little bit more.  She LOVES chapstick.  If it is too quiet, I can usually find her in a corner or under a table smearing chapstick all over her face.  She also loves playing with makeup and picking out what she wants to wear.  Most mornings when I go in to get her from her crib she's taken her jammies off, but luckily still keeps her diaper on. She has to have her baby, her monkey, and her blankie to go to sleep.  Also in her crib is a minnie mouse and a hello kitty but if they aren't there she usually doesn't ask for them unless she is stalling.  She is such a smart little cookie.  Although I think it's more street smarts than book smarts because she still doesn't know her colors.  She loves dancing and singing with the big girls and even knows some words to songs.  While Eleanor is at school, Molly asks about her all day long and when she gets home from school Molly follows her around the rest of the afternoon.  They are cute little buddies.  She loves when I do train tracks with her, she loves playing with little peoples and their school bus.  She loves loading up purses and pushing around her stroller with her baby.  She is just such a fun little girl! We love her a lot!
