Happy Easter!!!!
Its been a while since I have updated our blog...so I have quite a few pictures to share. Figure while I am on here, I need to do as much as possible...it may be a while until I am updating again!
My mom visited us over Spring Break...its always fun when grandparents come to visit....we painted a birdhouse for grandpa Bo, made Easter cookies...and little Marshall turned 5 months! Where has time gone?!?!?
At 5 months Marshall is...
-rolling both ways...and basically army crawling, or rolling to get where he wants to be
-has a HUGE belly laugh---so cute!
-loves eating solids....I was starting so slow with them, but the boy just LOVES to eat!
-Still drinks about 6oz except before bed, he takes more...and like a champ he sleeps through the night
-He is a HAPPY HAPPY baby (very different from the colicky baby he was in the beginning) he just goes with the flow and only cries when he is tired or hungry








We went to 2 Easter Egg Hunts---Brayden was a little frightened by the Big easter bunny, so I had to go with him. He had fun at the hunt...and as you can see he was most excited about the awesome sunglasses





Just having some fun...






We had our friends over to dye eggs...Brayden and I got a little MESSY...but they sure did have fun and turn out cute!



We hosted Easter today! It was our first holiday at our new house...and it was a success! Both kiddos napped through Easter lunch....but of course Brayden woke up in time for carrot cake! Brayden hunted for eggs---but before they could go in the basket...he had to open then to make sure he wanted what was inside! Funny guy! Marshall was as happy as ever. We had a great time visiting with the family and celebrating the day. We tried to capture a few family shots...but you will see how those went..(its hard with 2!)

We are still here! It has been so crazy busy here...moving---UGHHHHHHH---and on top of it home improvements, working, 2 kids, and the list goes on. However, the house is coming together, the kids are great...and well Spring Break is right around the corner....and help is coming....my mom will be here tomorrow for a week...so I hope to get a lot done! Here are some pictures of the kiddos and quick blurbs to update everyone. (On my list of 10,000 things to do...I am hoping send out our new addresses as well as some home photos soon...)


Here are some pictures from Valentines Day---yep...I really far behind...



A little late posting the picture...but here is Marshall at 4 months...


Marshall tried rice cereal...he was not sure about it at first....but Brayden sure was! He just wants to feed him!


So busy---Marshall rolls over both ways and loves his feet...he also tries to move in circles and wants to crawl more than anything...I am guessing he is going to be on the move early to catch up with his brother

Helping with home improvements...


Happy St. Patricks Day! A leprachaun left a trail of shamrocks from the bedrooms to the kitchen....and lucky for us he left us treats including donuts!!!!



Parade in our new "hometown"---Palatine!



Rolling, rolling, rolling and sweet potatoes! YUM---He loves them!
