Mother's day Sneak Peek

So, this might be letting the cat out of the bag so to speak, but here's a sneak peek of Marshall creating his Mother's Day presents for Grandma Becky and Nana. Mommy SERIOUSLY underestimated the messy power of a 9 month old with paint. Check out her formerly nice pants.

So, it was Marshall's first attempt at art . . . pretty cute product. You'll have to sneak a peek from Grandma or Nana! Now I need to go shopping for new pants. :)

Wow, sorry

Ok, it has been awhile and I'm sorry. A crawling baby with 1/4 of a tooth is keeping me away! Well, this week I've discovered he loves the park! Here he is yesterday at Discovery Park.

He LOVES to swing. Other than that, he liked watching the kids. There were lots of wood chips here and not much grass, so today we went to the City Park by where his daddy and I used to dance long, long ago . . .

Dang! You can't see the tooth! He's getting used to it, so he plays with it with his tounge a lot.

Isn't that a funny look? He scrunches his nose and breathes out of it and makes a silly noise. Only now he has allergies like mom, so he blows snot bubbles at the same time . . .

This was super fun. There is a plastic tube at the park. I put him in, head first, far enough that he won't scoot out backwards fast, run to the other end and climb in. He thinks its funny. Then he crawls all the way through the tube to get me.

Fun, huh? Bet you wish you were here to play! ;) We miss you guys!

New pics of Marshall

And I know, it has been FOREVER since I posted anything, but, hey, at least these are recent photos from a REAL camera. Ok, my big excuse is that I can't really do the computer thing when Marshall is in the room. He loves CORDS. He yanks all the USB cables out of the computer. Silly Monkey.

He was eating snacks a few wekks ago and look what happened! Isn't he funny? And yes, he graduated from the bouncy chair to a booster for meals. He's way too not afraid of heights for a high chair. Obviously, his aim is not so good sometimes with the food. He has a cereal puff stuck to his head and he thinks he's SO funny. :)

Now that its cold all the time, its hard to believe two weeks ago Marshall and I were outside blowing bubbles in the front yart in near 70 degree sunny weather. Where did that go? He is NOT bothered by prickly grass! He crawls around looking for stuff to try to eat.

he has also figured out what a camera is. These pictures do not constitute a lucky shot. He loves to pose as soon as the camera comes out.

marshall LOVES to be outside, so we're hoping it warms up again soon. Takes the cranky right out of him!

He now is sleeping in his crib at night. Except for last night when he wanted to play with mom fom midnight to 3 am. Ha also likes to nap in his crib, so I have a whole new block of free time in my day. I won't be blogging with it, though. Computer is in his room! :) Hope you all are doing good and I WILL try to be better at posting for you! Loves!

At Last!

I finally downloaded 300 pictures of Marshall from my camera. Here are some of the cutest, most recent ones

Marshall loves the walker Grandma Becky gave him.

He also loves his jumper that mom and dad bought to save their arms . . . and their laps!

Since these are from my camera, not my phone, they'll print off nicely for you!

Mostly for M!

Here is a picture of Marshall in the sweater my best friend from high school made him! (And yes, M., you can absolutely use it on your knitting site!) Here is how you steal a picture off the blog:
Right click the photo.
Left click Save Picture As
Open the file you wish to save it in
Make a name
Save!

Marshall enjoys eating. He likes to do it HIMSELF!
Anyhow, its time to go make him breakfast, so this is a short post, sorry!

I think my baby is cute.

These are mostly random photos, but Grandma, Gigi, and those other people that love my boy and miss him will definately appreciate them. The first two are from the 10th. Marshall got tired while we were playing peek-a-boo and hide in the tent.

This picture is from Feb 7th. I love how it looks just like a happy Marshall to me! I think he was happy because he just ate bananas and berries for lunch . . . his favorite!

This one id from Feb 6th. He fell asleep in the car and was so sleepy he STAYED asleep. Not often I get this pic!

Sorry thees aren't incredibly recent, but Grandma was here to visit and we were to busy playing to take and send pictures to the computer. Grandma did get me a Flip for my birthday, so I'll have to figure out how to get movies to You Tube to here so you can watch them!

cabin fever and more photos.

Marshall on Jan 30th being cute. He looks so happy! Just after I took the picture, I picked him up and discovered he needed new clothes. You can guess at the stinky reason why! Oh well, I'm sure Austin would agree that everyone feels better after doing that job!

Feb 2 being cute! He started in the middle of the blanket. He is trying so hard to crawl.

These two pictures are from this morning. Isn't he cute? He still loves his music player, grandma!

Ok, if you've been missing the random rants, here comes one for ya.

Why do people ask to be your friends on Facebook that you don't really talk to AND NEVER HAVE? What is the deal with high school people who never gave you the time of day wanting to be your new friend? Is it a contest to see who can have the most friends? Are they that bored? And why is it that the only people who Austin never knew in high school that want to be his facebook friends are girls? Do they not notice the pictures of his KID and the little thingy on the side of the page that says he's MARRIED? Sigh. I left Myspace for facebook, and I'm not convinced that either is that great yet.

And why do I watch American Idol ? I don't vote. I get annoyed with the little singers who throw tantrums and thank America all day. Hmmm.

Anyone know the answers?

Have to go. Someone is calling me! (Marshall . . . of course!)

More pictures

This is Marshall at Uncle Larry and Aunt Janet's house the day we flew home from Seattle. Thanks, GiGi for the super cute picture! We love his big grin! Something we miss when the teething makes him too miserable!
This is Marshall trying to get me when I tried to take his picture. I had him on his back aways away from me to take the picture because those jammies have a sheriff's star and say Daddy's Little Deputy. he rolled and rolled to get me. Silly baby.

Bath time! He's modest this time and everything! Hooray for the rubber duckies.

What is Marshall doing here? He looks so serious. He won't even glance at Mommy.
(Yes, GiGi. That is a Seahawks shirt!)

It's Elmo's World! Seriously, the little song comes on and Marshall's eyes go directly to the TV. No matter what he's doing. Makes Nursing at 1:45 a little tricky to say the least, so we mixed up his feeding schedule so he eats real food at 2. :)

This picture also highlights the new addition . . . . Austin's fancy TV. TaDa! And super cute pictures Brenda took.

If you're interested, you should cruise over to Trevor and Michelle's blog. Actually, it's Michelle's blog about her and Trevor. I don't think Trevor writes on it. Anyway, she posted pics of that Preggie belly! Atticus looks like he's growing really well!

Pictures from TODAY

How's that for fast service, family inWashington?!?
Marshall lieks to sit on the couch and watch mom make monkey sounds. Really, who doesn't? Thanks for showing me that he'd like them, Aunt Janet!

Awwww . . . . Cute . . . .

After the couch, he had lunch. So there was squash everywhere since today he decided to eat it HIMSELF. Silly baby. He was a mess so here he is during the changing of the clothes

Right after this he started crawling backwards. I think that's normal, right?

Anyhow, there's some stuff from my day.

Come see us sometime!
