3 Year Old Skater Boy

Happy Birthday Jackie Boy!!! Sweet Jack is three years old today, he's getting so big. It sure doesn't feel like it has already been three years! Staci brought the boys over today and we had lunch, cupcakes, and some playtime together. She brought their bounce house over and since it was rainy today we set it up in the living room and let the boys go wild. Marshall was excited to be in there and playing with the big boys. He tries his hardest to keep up with them.


We love you Jack, you sure are a big boy!








he's "this many"

8 Months

Marshall is 8 months today. Where have the last 8 months gone? He's growing so fast. It has been so neat to watch all of his changes and discoveries and anticipate the new things he will learn. He goes back to the doctor at nine months so we will have weight and height stats then.

Marshall's latest tricks...
-crawling everywhere and into everything
-eating table food (he begs for food when we have something to eat)
-drinking from a sippy cup
-pulling up
-waving "hi"
-pointing
-enjoying books
-snuggling with his "lovey"
-LOVING his airplane mobile (he REALLY loves this thing, he waves and coos at it whenever he wakes up, it's so cute)
-cutting two more teeth (this makes it hard to sleep)

We love you sweet Mo-Mo. You are such a happy boy and you are truly a blessing.





Do you see the chocolate cupcake on his face? Cousin Jack brought a little cupcake for Marshall today! We celebrated Jack turning 3 and Marshall turning 8 months. It's like two birthdays in one. Marshall didn't care who's birthday it was, he just wanted that cupcake!

Just a couple more...

I had a couple more cute 'hat' pictures to share with I-Pa! You know you love this hat. I might just have him wear it everyday when we come visit. :)

Just to bug I-Pa...

I-Pa doesn't really like Marshall's hat. I thought I might really bug him by posting only 'hat' pictures. Enjoy, I-Pa!

He is Risen!!! (Day 7)

Happy Easter!!! I am so thankful to serve a risen Savior. Having Marshall made me really think about the sacrifice of God's only son. I had a little different perspective this year.

We had a great Easter with family. Marshall enjoyed digging through his basket of Easter goodies too! I think his favorite gift was his new Sperry Top Sider shoes, at least that was my favorite, I think he actually liked his touch and feel book best. Our new tradition is to get him Easter shoes for his basket each year. He also got some books, a sippy cup, a monkey plate, and a photo album book with pictures of his family in Texas. That way we can talk about you all and he can look at a picture of your face! Pretty cool huh?

Marshall looked precious in his sweet little Easter outfit but he wasn't too excited about a photo shoot this morning. Oh well, we got a few cute shots. The most amazing part of today... he actually fell asleep in a nursery worker's lap. He never does that! Sweet boy was so tired, when we got down there to get him he was completely out!

My mom made a great lunch and then we enjoyed the beautiful weather with a quick boat ride. I think Marshall is in for a great summer. He was so happy out on the water. (Stay tuned for boat pics.)

I made it the whole seven days with a post each day. I may be signing off for a day or two.

More Easter Pics

Untitled Post (Day 6)

Not much to blog about today. We are having kind of a quiet Easter weekend. Scott and I did some work in the yard while Marshall napped this morning. I should have taken before and after pictures. We still have a lot to do, but it looks so much better already.

Our plan is to go to the park and have a picnic lunch and let Marshall enjoy the BEAUTIFUL weather we are having today. I'll be sure and take pictures of our fun family outing. For now, enjoy the pictures of this happy boy hanging out in his cousin Jack's old shirt. He gets to wear lots of his cousin's old clothes. Hooray for hand-me-downs and for a sister that has the same taste when it comes to clothing for our boys!






He's sporting a little bit of bed head here. I didn't notice it until after I took the pictures, but he is looking a bit poofy.
