Sweet like Scottie!

Scott is 9 months today! I can not believe it. He is about 20 pounds and slimming out a ton. His arms are not as chubby as they used to be.. sad!

I have been really bad at updating on Scott so here is some things he has done since February.
- Feb. 5 and 17: rolled over one way and then the other.
- In April he was getting on his knees, rocks then lunges forward. He would scoot like a seal.
- April 11: first trip to the ER.. for croup. Not too serious!
- He has a lizard tongue! He got that from the Haslam side!
- In May he started to crawl and pull himself up.
- May 18th: Got his first tooth.
- He loves to cuddle. He rubs his face on mine all the time. Its so cute! 
- June 12: started to fed himself with his hands
- June 25: stood up by himself for about 5 seconds.
- June 7: 3rd tooth coming in.. 1st tooth on top!

He is now standing all the time. He wants to walk so bad but he'll get there! He is so cute and fun! We just love this kid!

Here are some pictures of him:


Oh I love this sweet boy!

Our Sour Patch Kid: Sometimes he's sweet and sometimes he's sour

Update on Marshall:

I don't think I mentioned this yet but, when we were in Boise for Easter on April 15th Marshall ran away. I don't want to get into too much detail but he got out of the house and we were looking for him for probably 25 minutes with the police and the rest of the neighborhood. It was the scariest thing we have ever had to deal with. Brady and I were both balling! Luckily a good couple found him and were knocking on peoples door trying to find out who he belonged to. Turns out he was looking for his Daddy who had just got back from a business trip.

Anyway.. on a happier note.. here are some funny things Marshall has done lately:
- He always pick flowers for me.. usually in places where he shouldn't pick them
- I told him he needed to say sorry and he said "Sorry Charlie" (I could've smacked him but I was laughing too hard)
- When I picked him up at Nursery he said "I'm so happy to see you Mama"
- After I took his bat and ball away because he was being naughty he prayed, "Thank you that we could play ball. Thank you bless mommy not take it away."
- He used to have a imaginary pet dragon named Jake (Jared and him have made a song about him). But for a few days he had a NEW imaginary friend named Sandy! He told me all about her!
- He always says "Mom I don't want to get old! I don't want to get old and sick! I want to be healfy!" (He gets it from the book "Love You Forever"
- He is super good at phone games. 
- He always says "or something" at the end of asking for anything. 
- A few nights ago he prayed "Thank you that I could shoot webs" (like Spiderman)

HAHA I love this kid! He can make me furious but man can he make us laugh. When he prayed about being Spiderman there was no way I could hold back.. I laughed so hard!
We love him!

Here are some pictures of him:


 What a boy..
 Lining things up again
 First pair or safety scissors.. loves them! 
 Marshall's realistic drawing of his Uncle Tyson
 Marshall's first Balance Bike
 Marshall LOVES potato bugs. And since we have so many in our house he gets to play with them often!
 Marshall is actually pretty good at Baseball. He has a plastic bat and ball he plays with. When someone pitches to him he usually hits it and pretty hard too! Our little athlete :)
 So One Day, Marshall found a container of nail polish that I just bought.. that was in the bag and in my diaper bag.. hidden. For the minute I was out of the room he opened it and poured it all over the carpet,etc. Of course I was in a hurry to get a doctors appointment! This part actually looks like a "B" haha

 Underwear backwards AND inside out!
 We found Marshall sleeping like this! What a little Angel!
 This is Marshall's new favorite thing to do. Seriously everyday while Scott naps he has these out and it keeps him busy the entire time! Why didn't I think of this earlier??
 He has a Love for Trains
 Muscles
 One night we went to go tuck Marshall in and he was in the crib haha.. whatever! 
 First pee stain of many to come I'm sure. I need to get a cover on that mattress haha
 Movie night with Mama!
 Twiners!
 He loves riding the horses at Provo Beach Resort!
I'm trying to get him ready for rides at Disneyland.
 Angry Bird catapult!
 Every time we go to Walmart Marshall HAS to ride the Horse!
 Marshall came out the other night and said "I have a baby". I guess he gets it!
 Marshall rockin' out! Seriously he was going crazy and it actually didn't sound too bad!
 First GOOD elbow scrap
 Passing out after church on Sunday.. happens almost every week!
Going down a slide at Kangaroo Zoo!
I tried to teach Marshall to use the word "toot" for fart and he didn't really get it. When he farts he just does the arm movement like a conductor pulling the horn and says "Toot toot. All aboard"
Jared had been doing this for so long and Marshall wanted to keep going and keep going. He was pushing him all over the house too. It was so funny!

Sweet Boys!

 Oh my goodness I love these kids!!

Happy Birthday America!

Like the last couple years we went to the Taylorsville Days because they have one of the BEST Firework shows ever! Plus they had Neil Diamond there.. well someone that pretends to be! It was really fun to be with the family. The boys had a good time!

 Marshall LOVED the fireworks and talks about them all the time!
The Freedom Days festival is about a block or 2 from us so we always go. We played, ate and Marshall got his face painted. I can't believe he sat through it!

 He was so excited and thought he was Spiderman for the rest of the night!
 Shooting webs!
 On the 4th we went to the Parade! It was SOOO Hot but we stayed for most of it. Marshall is showing his Patriotism!
 At night we went to Grandma's for a BBQ! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa! It was delicious!
Of course I had to make English Trifle with Red, White and Blue! YUM!
 Chillin on the lawn
 Marshall follows Travis around so much! Today they were matching.
 A little friendly wrestling match!
 What's new? Marshall getting in trouble!
Brady and Blaire with the help of the other older boys put on a little firework show in the circle. It was fantastic! Marshall loved it and the Sparklers!
