Has it really been 5 months???!!!

Well I have been a major slacker on this blog. Does anyone do this anymore? A few people ask me to post things on my blog, but the photos or videos take forever to load on here! I might be doing it wrong, who knows.

So much has gone on in these past few months. Many of you know we had our baby boy!! His name is Connor James. He is so much fun! The girls are just in love with him. Marshall can't wait to hold him when he gets home from work. Although he has had colic!! This is such a torturous thing for both baby and parents! Why do these cute little babies have to go through this? Connor is now 8 weeks old! I can't believe it! He is smiling, responding to us when we talk to him, he looks around until he finds one of us and then smiles. It is so cute. Makayla is such a little mom. She loves to help me change him. Ellie thinks he is a doll and wants to hold him. It lasts for about a minute and then she is giving him back, but that happens quite a bit throughout the day. Among having Connor, Marshalls Brother's and their families came to town. It was so great!!! We haven't seen these guys or have had a time where we were all together for such a long time! I remember the good ole days, when all of us would hang out, watch movies or go to dinner. It was great seeing them but really sad to see them go to! We also moved, again! It was one crazy month in July! Things are barely starting to slow down. I don't know if I even had a chance to recover after the baby, life just picked up pace and I was back to the routine of things. Marshall is working like crazy. I'm so grateful for his hard work in keeping this family going. I'm amazed on how little sleep he can go on sometimes. But he does it and I'm so appreciative of him. Makayla is starting 2nd grade! Can you believe it? And Ellie starts Kindergarten. Oh man, the time has flown by. We moved back into the ward we were in when Kayla was 1! People at church on Sunday asked us how long it's been..alot say only 4 years right...uh no almost 7 years! It is amazing that the girls have grown up so fast!

So I'm going to attempt to add a video and or picture on here. Hopefully it works....here it goes...

Connor in the morning...you can hear Marshall snoring to!! These were done with my cell phone so forgive the poor quality!


Connor is kicking and waving his arms in excitement..This was a first for him to do this when I talk to him. So cute!
