Summer of Instagram

Are you on Instagram?  I'm obsessed.  I love taking pics of my kiddos.  We have had a beautiful summer with lots of warm weather and sunshine.  We enjoyed lots of pool days and smiles.

Happy Birthday Molly Ann!!

Mols,

I can't believe you are five already.  I feel like you should still be a sweet little baby that was so quiet and compliant.  But my how you have changed over the last five years.  You have really grown up this year, and I'm so proud of the little girl that you have become.  You are becoming a brave little girl trying new things and have gotten way more outgoing.  You had fun learning soccer and dance this past year and are so looking forward to going to kindergarten in the Fall.  You have such a big heart for others and get very sad when others are hurting or unhappy.  You would do anything to make someone stop crying.  You are the peace maker of this family for sure.  You are such a good sharer and are very thoughtful.  You no longer suck your two fingers and have done a great job sleeping without nunny!  You can do anything you put your mind to.  You are very particular about your clothing choices and like to be silly and giggle with your Daddy.  You love Jesus and love to sing.  I love you so much Molly Ann and can't wait to watch you grow up.  We are so blessed to have you.  Muwah!

Love, 

Mommy

5th Birthday Party for Molly

When you turn 5 in the Hassenrik house, you get a birthday party!  Yay for Gymco, which was a fabulous place to have a birthday party.  We had a lot of little girls doing gymastics, balloon animals, presents and cake and ice cream!  So much fun for Molly girl.

Cousin Love

We spend a lot of our summer at my parents place at the lake.  Living in Michigan, we take full advantage of the warm summer months.  Every year my mom wants to get a picture of all of the 9 cousins.  You can imagine what a feat this is getting everyone to cooperate, look at the camera and actually smile.  Mark was not thrilled to participate.  Thankfully my SIL got a better pic at a different time!

Happy birthday to this cute 2 year old!
