Hanging out with the boys for his birthday!

Bo decided that he wanted a boys-only get together to celebrate his upcoming 7th birthday.  He has a pool party and invited all of the boys in his class as well as the boys from his kindergarten class and some neighborhood friends.  It was a little wild with so many energetic boys, but I think they had fun!  Here is my attempt to get a picture of the boys as they were jumping in the pool:

 

  In the end, a video was the best way to capture the moment:

Happy 7th birthday, sweet Bo!

Forget me not...

I just had to record a few Molly-isms so that we didn't forget them...

**Molly cannot go to school without wearing a tutu.  Her teacher asked me how many tutus Molly has and after thinking about it, I realized that she has 10!!   Her teacher also told me that one day they were asking where Molly went and one of the kids saw her in one of the tunnels on the playground.  He said, "There's Molly!  I see her tutu!"

**Molly's language has developed quite a bit in the last few months.  One of the main reasons we can tell is that her meal blessings have changed from "...by His hands, we are fed.  Thank you for Fred..."  For awhile there, she also called every single one of her stuffed animals "Fred" and now they all have cute little names. 

**A couple of months ago, Molly took on a heavy southern belle accent:
Me: "Molly, do you want some more goldfish?"
Molly: (In her best southern accent )"Ishur doooo!"  (I sure do!)


**One morning she was eating Trix  cereal when one of the pieces fell on the floor.  Her reaction: "Oh no!  I lost a trick!"
