A lil Love for my lil Sis #2

Hey People, Gonna keep this short and sweet!  Here are pics from last weekend and Valentines Day mixed together cause I just don't want to organize them :)  We had bunches o'people over for Molly's Baptism.  Thanks to my Grandma and Grandpa Servais, my Grandma Shay, Uncle Andy, Uncle Kurt, Aunt Ashley, Great Cuz Angela and her Hubby Zach, Great Aunt Rose, and my cousins Zoey, Spencer, and Gracie.  Fun time it was! Enjoy...

   

Quick Update

Just a quick update folks.  My Grandma Shay has officially been with us for a month now.  She is up from Florida helping out with Molly for a little bit - and boy has it been helpful!  What else has been happenin you may ask..... 

Well, me, Maggie, and my parents all went to Sesame Street Live again and had a blast.  It was so dark, my mom didn't get many good pics, so you'll have to take my word for it.  The Count even shook my had during the show.  I was hopin for Elmo or Cookie, but I'll take what I get.  

I also had a special visitor.  Hannah came back to see me.  She was surprised to see how much I have grown. But we didn't skip a beat.  She still knows how to get me to laugh.  It was super nice to hang out with her - even if my parents stuck around and were asking her how med school is going and everything - I think we all miss her.

And last but not least, we had some friends over last weekend - a house full actually.  My dad's buddies from high school and their families.  We had 9 adults and 7 kids under age 5.  Let's just say it was busy.  And I better not forget to mention, 3 of the adults are pregnant.  We found out that we will be adding 2 more girls and a lil boy to the mix.  Crazy!  My parents say congrats, I say welcome.  

  

January came and went so fast, so fast that Feb is almost over already?!?!

Keep an eye out for what's coming up:

- Molly is getting Baptized this Saturday (if anyone wants to come let my folks know)

- I am going to be doing adaptive skiing again

-My dad's birthday is right around the corner

-My new cousin Spence is getting baptized the same weekend we celebrate Zoey's birthday

Till then... 

Another year come and gone

Hey everyone, Molly here.  Conner was telling me about his blog the other day.  So, while he is jumpin around in the cage with dad, I decided to sneak on and take a stab at writing a post myself (and share a pic or two). 

HEY!

 

First of all, Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to everyone!  We went to see the lights a couple times, once with some friends and once by ourselves to see Santa.  Both were pretty cool.

    

 

We celebrate 3 different Christmas' (and each one was a blast).  I slept through most of them, but Conner and Maggie both had a good time.  Thanks to our families for the neat gifts.  Not sure if we had more fun with the gifts or playing in the "aftermath".  

  

And, Santa was nice enough to leave us a note this year - he said Conner's gift was too big to fit down the chimney so he left it at the front door after it snowed.  Conner got a cool new sled.  Since I am dealing with my first cold (sneezing and coughing) I didn't get to play in the snow.  But I got some good shots of Conner and Maggie havin fun.

      

Well, guess that's all for now, Conner is almost done jumping and I don't want him to catch me writing.  Time for me to sleep again, since that's what I do!

       

Fairies and Whos and Babies Oh My!

The time has come...... I have lost my first tooth!  It happened at school.  My mom told me and Maggie about the tooth fairy so we put the tooth under my pillow.  Sure enough, there was a quarter in place of my tooth in the morning.  Maggie was so excited she took it and put it under the Christmas tree (not sure why but she did).  I guess she thinks all I want for Christmas is my one front tooth (that's right, I just said that).

Me and my teacher, I am holding my tooth myself

See the missing bottom tooth

Now, I thought since I am talking fairies, I might as well let you know that Maggie just had her Christmas dance program the other day.  They did The Grinch!  Maggie's class were the Whos.  It was pretty cute, if you like that kinda thing.

And since I mentioned Maggie, I should probably share a pic of Molly too!  She's a good lil sis so far but I have lots to teach her.....  her, and my new baby cuz Spencer too.  He was born yesterday. Congrats Uncle Kurt and Aunt Ashley.

Merry Christmas from the Shays at the Rotary Lights

She's Here....

After months of waiting, 9 to be exact, I would like to introduce my new kid sis Molly Kathleen Shay!  I am officially outnumbered now.  But, I guess I did such a stellar job teaching Maggie everything I know, that I am sure Molly won't be any different.  Plus, she is kinda cute I guess.  I think she is going to be a lil more like me though, when it was time it was time - me and Molly didn't waste any time when it was time to make an appearance.  While I decided to show up 4 months early (I know, a little excessive, especially considering my parents are always late).  Molly was only a couple days early, but the whole thing only lasted about an hour.  Maggie, on the other hand was a week and a half late, and the whole process took about 11 hours...... plus, Molly has blond hair like I do (for now at least).  So there you have it.  Now it's time to meet my sis Molly:
