Marshall found the bubbles in

Marshall found the bubbles in the tub tonight! He would look for the BIG ones & pop them with a BIG...slap!

4th of July

I love fireworks! Every year that is the one thing about summer I LOVE!

This year we were at Big Sugar Bush for the 4th of July! It was a GREAT weekend! On Thursday, Marshall spent the "entire" day with Auntie Nancy while the rest of us went to MPLS for a Twins game, Chad proposed to Larua at the game, and we got back to the lake around 5am! Marshall's 1st night away from Mom! It was hard but I think it would have been harder if I knew that I wounldn't have seen him sleeping in the pack & play next to me early that morning! on Friday, Troy & I went fishing most of the late afternoon and I was in bed early with Marshall! It must have been the fresh air! Saturday I met Jenny & Mom and we went garage saling in DL; go a few buys! Sunday!!! I couldn't wait for Marshall to see the fireworks!! I wasn't sure if he would be able to see the or not...his attention span is large for a 14 month old... He saw them! His reaction was priceless! A huge "Ohh..." and a lot of clapping! Half way throught the fireworks he told everyone na-night so he went to be early on his 1st memorable fireworks!

We took this pictures on Thursday morning before we left for the game!

It is just crazy to think of how much Marshall has changed in the past two weeks! He went from 100% crawling to walking most of the time! He is getting more and more stable on his feet all the time!

Marshall LOVES his sleep! When he starts to get fussy at night I ask him if he wants to go na-night and he will start to wave to Troy and tell him "na-na!" I snuggle him in the binki and he doesn't even make a peep! As of May 29th he has not had a bottle! I forgot it at home when we went to Nancy's for the weekend and he did just fine going to sleep with out it! Woo-Hoo!

Marshall got into the baby powder on Mommy's watch!!!

Marshall is WALKING!

Marshall is WALKING!

Marshall had mac & cheese

Marshall had mac & cheese for the 1st time tonight! He didn't do to hot with a spoon so I have him a fork!

Apple & the 4-wheeler

On our way home from town tonight Marshall was talking and he kept saying "apt, apt." I asked him a couple of times to say apple! I coached him by enunciating it...! He did it! He said apple. I tried to get him to say it for Troy but he didn't want to!

Oh, did I mention that Marshall went on his 1st 4-wheeler ride! It was very cute! He saw Troy on it and was reaching out for him when he was driving so Daddy took him for his 1st Ride!!!

Today Marshall woke up with a high fever. He got to stay home with Daddy while Taylor & I went to work & school. Marshall slept most of the day and he was ready to play when we got home!

For supper I mashed up some steamed carrots & peas along with peach yogurt & cereal! He didn't like the carrots & peas right away but by the end of supper he was eating them with out having to mix them with cereal!

Troy went out to pick mushrooms with Joe and Taylor did his homework while Marshall & I did laundry! I love watching Marshall while he tries to put on socks! They don't have to be his and he tries to make them fit! He was just a wild man! He would take everything out the the laundry basket just to put them all back. Then he would grab his ball he got from Uncle Mike for his birthday and toss it at me and then back to the laundry! He did this for at least 30 minutes! Oh, and he got a CAT dump-truck from Nana & Popa Myhrer! It talks and best of all it jams out! When he hears the music he starts to bop up and down! It is very funny!!!
What can I say, my baby is growing up way to fast!
