Happy Birthday Marshall!

It's hard to believe but Marshall turned ONE last Friday! We had a whirlwind celebration with a playdate with friends on his real birthday (Aug. 6) and then his party on Saturday with family. One thing I discovered about Marshall this past week, is that the boy LOVES cake. I will post video soon, but he can put away the cake and just inhaled it, ALL of it!

Makena has been taking Bear for car rides lately. Here is a picture of what I see when I look in the rearview mirror. Marshall making sure Bear is safe.

Birthday Countdown

Here are some of our attempts to get a picture of Marshall for his birthday card.The winning picture.
Nathaniel started using all types of hats, I didn't include all of the options.

Nathaniel was not a fan of the hat with the "boa".

Summer Cousin Fun

Here are some pictures from a recent trip to visit family in Dallas.

Swim Lessons

Both of the kids are in swim lessons right now. We are back to city swim lessons after our fiasco with the fancy swim school last summer. I am really hoping Makena makes some progress or I don't know what we will do. As you can see, she wasn't super cooperative for pictures. We are also doing swim lessons in the evening so Nathaniel can take turns swimming with Marshall too.

Marshall's First Haircut

Doesn't he look handsome? Marshall did a great job sitting for his first haircut. I was a little nervous because Makena's first hair cut was a scream fest, but he did great, minus a few head bangs into the steering wheel on the airplane.

On April 27, my little girl turned 4. I cannot believe that it has been four years. It truly has flown by and this will be her last year before she starts Kindergarten! She continues to amaze me with what she does, says, and learns. I can also already tell that four is going to be so much better than three!! Whew!
