12 weeks: exhausted, tired but excited!

Here is our little one at 12 weeks. I'm so excited we waited this long to get an ultrasound so we could actually see more then just a little bean. At this picture it was just over 5 cm. I found out I am due OCT 19th. I'm sure it'll come before that. The point is we are really excited and happy that the baby looks normal and healthy so far.

What Marshall has been UP to..

So I feel like kind of a bad mother because I am so sick and tired all the time so I don't play with Marshall as much as I should. Anyway.. one day we got out some art supplies and did these two hand paintings. I think getting the supplies out was the funnest part for him because I never let him touch my stuff! He liked it though! It was fun!
So Marshall loves his hat and sunglasses and wants to wear them all the time. This time in the car he was trying to be so cool. We kind of got it, but you kind of had to be there.
The last few weeks Marshall has been on and off SICK. It has been so NOT fun. He'll throw up one day, then have a fever another, then a week later throw up randomly.. it's been awful. He had major diarrhea and blow outs. I swear I had to change him 3 or more times a day and he took at least 2 baths a day for a few days. Anyway.. I think he is doing better. This picture is when my mom was here visiting. He was so happy all day and then on the way home from the restaurant he threw up in the car. It was so sad and disgusting. I know your thinking... hot dogs?? but he didn't really eat any. Luckily it was a rental car haha!!
While my mom was here we went to Hobby Lobby to get Marshall a easter basket. We picked out a monkey one but as soon as he saw this Elmo one he started screaming "Melmo". So we had to get it! He has been playing with it ever since. He takes the easter eggs and puts them in the basket and just walks around with it. It is so funny! He loves it.
I am putting on a shower for a friend on Saturday so I was trying out some of the goodies. This is my little helper!
For Marshall's friend Brigdon's birthday we went to pool in Lehi. I think Marshall likes outdoor pools better. He likes the sun and hot air. He was shivering the whole time. I think he still had fun though!
These are 2 of Marshall's friends Brigdon and Vance. I love this picture because this is what they did when we said "say cheese". Marshall and Brigdon are doing what they think is a smile and saying cheese. Vance is just tired HAHA!
After dancing for I don't know how long I figured I should video Marshall. He can go forever. Just a very active child!

Marshall's Kites

These are the kites I made to go above Marshall's bed!

Winter Bear Lake.. President's Day

So it started out that most of family was coming to Bear Lake this President's Day weekend. But we ended being the only ones that actually went. That usually happens.. at least the last 3 years! So Katie, Brady, Marshall, Jared, Kim and Kelsy all went up together! We had a really good time. It was nice to spend time with just us too! We got to play out in the snow a lot. The boys got to go snowboarding on Saturday and we went tubing on Monday. Here is Brady and Marshall.
Marshall and Katie on the swing!
Jared and Marshall
Kelsy and Marshall. Kelsy was the only that didn't care to get goat poop on her shoes ha ha!
This is Marshall on the frozen lake. I seriously only let him go out a few feet because I was dang nervous! He looks so all alone.. but happy!
That Monday we went tubing before we left. Marshall was so cold going down the hill. He didn't like it as much as the little hill in Connecticut.
Jared and Kim
Marshall had his tongue out most of the time!
We had a blast there!
I don't think most of you will be surprised to know that this is Brady! haha!
