New High Chair!

So now we will get back to posting pictures where Molly is happy. Of course that includes pictures with daddy and her latest favorite thing...her high chair!

dancing with dad.

I set her in the high chair and her face just lit up. She was so excited to be sitting up and hanging out with me while I was cleaning and making dinner!

When Nathan got home from work she just cuddled right up with him. It was so sweet! We had met up with Nathan earlier in the day for lunch at his work. She smiled for all of his co-workers and we all had a great time.

"...what about Sarah?"

People always ask why we don't post pictures with Sarah and Molly. It's not that we don't take the pictures, it's just that...

...Molly doesn't like taking pictures with Sarah!

Multnomah repeat!

What would a visit to Nathan and Sarah's be without going to Multnomah Falls. we have already pre-warned everyone that this is a must-do while visiting, so here we are with Muria and the kids.

Hangin' out in California!

We recently had the chance to go visit Grana and Tibu (Nathan's parents) in Northern California. In fact, as of posting this blog, we're still in California. We've had a great time. Here are some pictures from our visit.

Our flight to California was Molly's first time on an airplane. Luckily, there were extra seats on the plane so Molly had a seat all to her self. She was very well-behaved the whole time.

Here's Molly with her younger cousin Ellie-Jane. They were matchy-matchy for July 4th.

Molly spent quite a bit of time being held. Here's Grana holding Molly.

Molly sleeps really well if she's being held--otherwise she won't spend much time asleep during the day. Here's she is with Uncle Johnny.

Here's Uncle Charlie holding Molly.

Molly went in to the spa for the first time while at Grana and Tibu's house.

Molly's swim diaper made her super-bouyant. She was in the spa for quite a while--she loved it! She is her mommy's daughter.

Molly meets more Family!

Cute little blue dress!

Sarah's Aunt Heather and Uncle Michael came into town and stayed with us for a night. It was a lot of fun having them.
Molly and Aunt Heather!

Showing off her HUGE eyes!!

Hanging with the Boys!

Uncle Andrew has been in town for a while and we have had a good time with him.

We finally convinced him to let us take a picture of Molly and him.

Nathan and Andrew have been working hard on math. Nathan loves to tease Andrew and ask him math questions all day long...it drives Andrew crazy!

We have been so impressed with Andrew's guitar skills. He has taught himself how to play over the past year and he is quite good.

On father's day the primary kids made ties for their dads. Since Molly is not in primary they gave Nathan a tie that one of the teachers had made. The cute thing was that every kid made an extra tie for the bishop and gave it to him. His neck was packed full of paper ties.

more daddy daughter pictures!

It was a great day!

Father's Day!

Nathan hates it when I put "cheesy" stuff up on our blog. So I have decided to not consult him on this posting. He is such an amazing person, husband and father I feel like he deserves a little credit! So if you are like Nathan and you don't like the cheese...go ahead and skip this one!

I love this picture of Molly because she was looking right at Nathan and stopped crying for a split second. It was her first look at her Daddy and it was caught on camera.

I sometimes let Molly cry in her bed to see if she will calm herself down. One of Nathan's favorite things to do is "rescue" her.

This is what she looks like when she sees you! It is so rewarding to see how happy she is, but I love watching how happy it makes Nathan when she smiles at him!



Nathan truly loves his little girl. I couldn't ask for a better father for Molly! He is kind, compassionate, loving, gentle and good. He sets a great example with his life and the way he has chosen to live. Since this is the first father's day I have ever celebrated for a father in my life, I cant help but be grateful. I am so lucky to have him as a husband and Molly is equally as lucky to have him as a father. When she was born, the first thing I told her when I was alone with her was how lucky she was because she has the best daddy in the world.
