I really truly believe that time is speeding up. We are already about a week and a half from the month of October and it feels like summer is just barely starting. I LOVE fall though. I love the colorful leaves, the smells, the chill in the air. I love pulling out my sweaters and jackets, even though a lot of them won't be worn this fall because of my pregnant state and the basketball sized lumped on my belly. This is a really fun time of year, it just came quicker than I expected. I'm not complaining in the slightest though because that means my pregnancy has been going by fast and that is a great, grand thing!
We have had a fun last couple of months and here some cute pictures we have taken:
We took Mollie to Barnes Park last weekend to feed the ducks.
She liked it but not as much as I thought she would. She would throw some bread at them, but then she would get mad because what she really wanted to do was climb the fence and get right in there with them.

We took a little 4 day vacation and went up to my family's condo up at Powder Mountain ski resort. It was so fun and relaxing. Ladd has been really busy at work, so it was nice for him to get away from that for a few days and just go up in the mountains and relax. We hiked up the hill and were playing on one of the ski lifts.
Here's Ladd and Mollie chillin' on one of the chairs.

Here's a cute one of Mollie playing on this big rock. She loves being outside. LOVES IT. When we got back to our condo after the walk, all she said for the next hour was, "I wanna go for a walk in the mountains." It was cute.

This is her at the condo as well. I love this picture. This is typical Mollie for you. Clutching her green blanket and being a ham. That green blanket means more to her than any other thing he has and she drags it with her everywhere. She's getting better at looking at the camera when I take her picture too, which is nice.

I have been doing a lot of little projects around my house lately and here is a picture of her "helping" me with one. Ladd found me this old window, and she and I stripped the old paint off, painted it black, decorated it, and hung it on my wall. Here's mollie being -as she would put it- "such a big helper."

SOME THOUGHTS:
*I am now 29 weeks pregnant! Only 11 more to go and I am starting to get nervous. How am I going to do it with two kids? I know I will and it will all work out, but it still makes me nervous.
* The "boy" thing is all new to me as well. I am prepping for blue, green and red. Bring it on.
* I just finished the book The Hunger Games. Yesterday in fact, and I loved it. I recommend it to anyone. It also has the hint of a love story (which of course you all know, I love) and at the end of the book my heart was hurting for the poor guy. Book two just came out and I am excited to read it!
* Last night we had a "girls night" at my mom and dad's house. My sisters and sister-in-laws
all got together and ordered Olive Garden take-out (YUM!!), left the kids and husbands at home and hung out at my mom's until like 1:30 this morning. We had so much fun and ate lots of junk food. Junk food is ok to pig out on every once in a while, right?
* We just bought Mollie a "big girl bed." The baby needs the crib soon, so we figured we might as well get the bed for her before he comes along so she doesn't have too many things to adjust to at once. It's really cute. We got it at IKEA and I love it. I hope Mollie does too, and actually stays in it all night long. She climbs out of her crib like crazy, but a bed will be even easier for her to get out of at all hours of the night. She knows she's not supposed to climb out of her crib in the night because she will come down to our room at like 3:00 in the morning and come up to me and say, "Mollie girl climbed out of her crib, but that's a 'no-no'." So apparently she listens to what we are saying, but just doesn't obey orders! Oh well, hopefully this is just a phase.
*Hope all is going well for everyone, life is good.
