Would you like extra cheese with that?

So, we are T minus 5 days to the big b-day and Molly's personality has gone into overdrive. Whether she is running around the house squealing with her tongue sticking out, or scaling the refrigerator, or sticking her tongue on the kitty's tongue in the kitten book, she is absolutely a riot to watch. Just today she has started this new thing where she gives the cheesiest grin you have ever seen. It is the most hilarious, adorable, can't-get-enough thing you have ever seen. I had to share...

Molly's First 4th of July Celebration

I recognize this post is almost 2 months late... but better late than never I say! I wanted to post pictures from the 4th of July weekend extravaganza because we did so much that weekend and had so much fun. This was Molly's first 4th of July, so it was very exciting. The weekend started on Friday night with the kids parade in Centerville. All of the Bellamy grand-kids were there, which made it that much more fun. Molly couldn't quite figure out what was going on, but she enjoyed the walk through the streets of Centerville. We ended at the park with Paces Dairy Ann popsicles. Mollly quite enjoyed the rootbeer one!

The next morning we headed to Centerville again, bright and early, for the Centerville parade. Molly absolutely loved watching all of the people, cars, floats, etc. She watched intently the entire time. Tara loved the parade too... it was a real parade with floats and bands (plural) playing patriotic music, etc (take note Hyrum City!). It really was a super parade.

After the parade we relaxed at  Grandma and Grandpa Bellamy's for awhile and then had a BBQ with the  family. Of course we played rock band - the Bellamy Family's favorite pastime (especially when Liz is in town and wants to sing White Wedding!)

After church on Sunday we headed to Hyrum to spend time with the Downs family. We began the celebration with a splendid fireworks show that Molly slept straight through (how, I will never know - with all those whistling petes and weird flower fire cracker things). Then on Monday morning we began the day with Tara's all-time favorite 4th of July tradition - the Lion's Chuckwagon Breakfast at the city square. Everyone knows that Tara can't miss this breakfast or else the whole 4th of the July is ruined (right?!) This year was even better because we had the most people there that we have had in a long time - Grandpa & Nana, Brad & Jamie, Trevor & Jacque, Nick, Tara & Molly. Then it was time for the parade. Again, Hyrum City really needs to take notes from Centerville City, but all in all it was a good parade. Molly was exhausted, as you can see in the pictures. She looks a bit comatose. We had completely worn her out by this point (go figure). And we finished off the day with a delicious Gyro at the city square after the parade.
