Baby contest WINNER!

So Marshall won first place in his agegroup and category in the Provo Freedom Festival baby contest! His age group was 13-16 month old boys! They asked if he could do any tricks, and of course babies never want to perform when they're asked. However, he did clap, he jumped, walked, waved and curled his tongue! haha
We didn't have to wait too long to find out if he won. We sat in the big hall waiting for his category and results... and as they were announcing the second and first runner ups I turned to Matt and said, "I don't think he got it, oh well, it was fun".... Marshall's name got called! I made Matt go up and collect the winners bag (which was pretty crappy actually - oh well he still won cutest baby) and I teared up! Proud mum of my cute little boy! Could't be more proud!
Love you Marshall!
Now we get to be in the Provo parade on 4th July! YAY haha it's gonna be interesting with having an active one year old who now wants to walk EVERYWHERE!

Baby contest

I'm not meaning to be big headed, but people stop Matt and I ALLLLLLL the time telling us how cute Marshall is... so we've decided to test it and we're putting him in a baby contest tomorrow. And even if Marshall doesn't win, we know he's cute! and we love him more than anything in the world.

Wish us luck! and I'll let you know how we do.

Marshall got glasses

Marshall got glasses about a month ago and is doing absolutely wonderfully with them. It took him about a day to get used to them. People stop us all the time (random strangers) and ask how he keeps them on and how did we know he needed them... Here are your answers:
When my nephew Josh was a baby they found he was long/far sighted because his eye went crosseyed really bad. So, when I noticed Marshall's left eye doing the same thing I mentioned it to our pediatrician, who referred us to a specialist, who then diagnosed Marshall. Marshall keeps them on because he already knows he can see better with them on. He'll pull them off occasionally, and when he does he just hands them to me to put back on him. I never wanted to say "no" when he took them off because I didn't want him to associate his glasses as a bad thing.
We think he looks absolutely gorgeous in his glasses and he looks so different when he's not wearing them. Good boy Marshall, we love you!

summer 2009

So it's the start of the summer holidays. I have the 3 kids I take care of and Marshall to look after and the schedule's pretty busy, but hopefully I'll find time to update my struggling blog! I know I haven't updated it for a long time and I'm going to try harder!
For all those of you who are interested in my crazy life happenings,... keep your eyes peeled (haha I hate that phrase cos that would be gross)!!
Love you all
