Marshall's 1st Christmas...

Christmas Day
Today we got over 12" of snow! It was hard to get to Grandma & Grandpa Myhrer's but Troy got us there without any problems! Mary, Kristie & CJ, and Jason all came for dinner. Great-Grandma Myhrer and Auntie Laura and Chad were there too! Marshall was loved on the entire day! Mary gave him a Classic Frosty the Snow Man! He even sings!

Marshall's 1st Christmas

Christmas Eve
Today I had to work from 7:30am-3:30pm. I got home with just enough time to change cloths and get Marshall dressed for Church. I put him in his crib so I could do a couple of things and when I got back to his room to get him, he had pulled himself up and was sitting on his knees!


Tonight we went to Church with Grandpa & Grandma Tveiten. Uncle Seth, Jenny, and Jenny's dad Davie went with us! After Church we went to Seth & Jenny's for supper! Marshall got to play with Davie and got a LOT of attention from everyone else! Marshall was stuck with rice and applesauce while we had a GREAT ham supper with cheesy potatoes and other goodies! After supper Seth gave Marshall his Christmas present! A homemade toy chest! Marshall could stand up in it and you could just barely see his head!

New Teeth!

This weekend we spent with Stacy and Kendra! On Saturday morning we went to see Santa at the mall! Marshall went right to Santa without a fuss! He even touched his beard! Later we went to the Salvation Army to find some deals! I had forgot Marshall's favorite afghan and he was overly tired...we found a blue crocheted hat that he snuggled up to and fell asleep with in 2 minutes! As you can see by the picture Marshall likes his "Blankies!" This is actually a wash cloth...it will do! Turns out that Marshall got his 2 bottom teeth and hardly put up a fuss!

Marshall's 1st Thanksgiving

Marshall woke up early on Thursday! We went down to the living room around 7:00 am and played with Annie-girl and watched Star Wars. Marshall was getting sleepy and started throwing himself around. While rolling in his toys his arm got stuck behind him and something popped! I freaked out! It wasn't just a adjustment pop it was something more than that. He started to scream and when I picked him out he stopped instantly but he wouldn't move his arm. It just hung there. Troy and I brought him to the ER and spend almost 3 hours there just to find out that nothing was wrong with it. The Dr said that it probably did hurt when it happened but he wouldn't use it because he still "thinks" that it hurts. Friday and today he is moving around like nothing is bothering him. What a stinker!

Another piece of Tradition

Marshall was baptized on Sunday, November 22, 2009. His sponsers were Tim Langlie & Tracy Nelson. Pastor Shelia Michaels officiated.

Family present were:
Great-Grandma Myhrer
Papa & Nana Myhrer
Auntie Laura & Buddy Chad, Cousins Parker & Victoria
Pops & Nana Tveiten
Auntie Stacy & Uncle Dan, Cousin Kendra
Uncle Seth & Jenny-Bean
Great Uncle Dan & Auntie Janeece
Great Uncle Joe & Auntie K (Glenda)
Cousin Beth
Cousin Kindra & Ben

Marshall wore the baptism gown of the John & Helen Tveiten children. My uncle's Doug & Rodger and Auntie Julie along with my dad all wore this gown. I think it will have to travel south for Baby Fenton...

The baptism was very cool. Pastor Shelia invited all of the children up front for the ceremony. Very cool! Marshall was busy checking out Tracy and later on he ate Shelia's necklace. I don't know if it has a special name.

What a week

Ok, so Marshall is completely over his fever! It finally broke on Friday morning. He spent the day with Nana Myhrer and got a LOT of tender love and care! However, Friday night Marshall had other plans. He went to bed around 10:00 pm and decided to wake up around 1:30 am! Needless to say Mom was very tired for the days previous. I finally woke up Troy around 2:30 am and handed over the reigns! After about an hour of interrupted crying I went downstairs to find Troy on the computer and Marshall in the saucer. All he wanted to do was to play on the floor with his toys! Right! Troy fell asleep on the couch and Marshall and I played with toys, sauced, and played peek-a-boo until around 5:30 am when he started to yawn. Sleep came around 6:00 am! There was about 3 hours of HARD sleep!

Saturday and Saturday night were GREAT! Kendra passed along a very special frog hat to Marshall. Turns out my Aunt Grace had this hat made for my cousin Aaron who shared it with Kjirsten, who then passed it along to Kendra! Well Kendra passed it along to Marshall on Saturday. Doesn't he look cute! It will go on to Lisa when baby Fenton is big enough to wear it!

Fever is getting better...

Marshall woke up again early this morning with a 101.9 temp... that made it a rough night! He finally crashed around 6:00 am! Just in time to get daddy out of bed for work! Today he ate quite a bit and has been sleeping for around an hour now! Sleep always make it better!

At home with a fever

Marshall went to bed last night around 8:30 pm which is VERY early for him! He woke up around 2:30 am screaming...with a fever! It was right up there at 102.1 not good! After rocking and Tylenol he calmed down enough to sleep for an hour and then he was up again! Around 4:30 am he fell asleep and didn't get up until I woke him up for my Tylenol. His temp had gone down to 100.1 but he still had it. It is not 2pm and he is down to 99.5! He is very happy and talking a lot so he MUST be getting better! Funny little Guy!

We changed Marshall's car seat from the carrier to a rear facing car seat. For the longest time I would make sure to either get the things I need before I go and pick Marshall up from daycare or get them on my way to work. Well, today I decided we would try out the grocery cart! It was a NEW experience for Marshall! He wanted to taste the cart...AHH! I made sure to use the wipes Hugo's has when you come in the door and wipe it down! The girl at the till laughed at me when I told her why I was taking the picture!
