Marshall's First Easter

Marshall's first Easter was a success...hope yours was too!

My Cousin, My Friend

These two little rascals were born only 6 days appart (Marshall August 28th and Cooper September 3rd) yet we may have to give a few years before they become best friends. That's alright though because their Mom's are friends and that has to rub off onto the little ones!

Cooper the Bully

The journaling reads: Cooper the bully was just too much for you to handle. This was the first time you met mom’s cousin Tonia and her son Cooper AND from the very start you two did not get along. Cooper was out to show you how to be a man and Mommy’s little cry baby gave in and Cooper proved he was the tougher of you two! Don’t worry though, next time you will show him who’s boss!

How the Teams Stack Up

After some discussion we have decided that a new team may have to be formed just so Marshall has a team to root for because we are just not sure if we are going to want such a division in the house. They will just have to create some hybrid Bears-Vikings-Cowboys team. One or a combination of all will be just fine so long as he doesn't become a Packers fan!! Ahhhh!

2nd Wedding Anniversary

I want to send a big CONGRATS to DeAnna and Loren as they celebrate their 2nd Wedding Anniversary tonight at a Bloomfield Bee double header basketball game (how romantic). Mom and Brett did get them a nice cotton present (becuase apparently the 2nd Anny is cotton) and I just took their picture. Here is the crew on the special day ~ e

And here is a 2 minute look back over the past few months with the gift we call Marshall

Christmas in Volga, SD 2

And this last one is all of Grandma's Christmas Trees (no I take that back - I don't think we could fit them all on the page - these are just some of Grandma's trees)

Christmas in Volga, SD

Still working on finishing up some of the Christmas pages for Marshall's book! Here are some pages using the photos Brett took during Christmas!
