Miss Marlee

It seemed like Marlee was never going to crawl...I guess we should have been content with her just sitting there. My days were much easier. Now she is into EVERYTHING! I swear she moves like lightening. One minute she there and then I turn around and shes half way across the house.

One of her favorite places to hang out is Nolan's train table. Boy does that make for some screaming fits from Big Brother Nolan. I will give him credit he does really good with her until she totally destroys the track, then its world war III!


Crazy to think that in about 2 months we will be celebrating her 1st birthday....were does time go!?

Finally Marlee graduated to the big tub! Guess who decided to join her! WOW I didn't realize how easy its going to be to get them both cleaned at once.

FINALLY! Marlee is crawling. She is a much happier little girl now that she can get around. She loves to follow Nolan around, he is actually really good with her. Hoping it stays that way :)


Shes not quite fast enough to keep up with him.

Marlee's first car! She is looking very 'Springish" in this picture. I guess it did get up to 42 degrees yesterday :) Only a few more months and hopefully she can take her ride outside.

Time Out!

Look who had to go to time out today....DADDY! Daddy tried to go to town today in Mommy's car and never made it! He got stuck!! I guess Nolan sensed (or heard) how mad mommy was. When Daddy finally got unstuck (thanks to Grandpa) Nolan told him he needed to go to time out! I think Nolan really enjoyed putting him there :)

Three angles singing about how much they love the Iowa snow!!! They looked and sounded like three baby birds begging for some food.

Grandma Coleen showing off her new "Fem-Tools" to Grandma Rena. She is very proud of them.

Um... Nolan... Nolan... You are supposed to eat that!?!?

Marlee... Trying to fit in with all the boys! In the background Ethan and Nolan sure are having fun! Nolan and Marlee really enjoy playing with their cousins now that they are Hawkeyes!

Cousin Chandler... OUT! Sometimes presents and turkey are too much for people to handle.

Puppy Love

Nolan reading the "Potty Book" to Lola.

We have two "over-eaters" in the house... One is Nate, after looking at these pictures, can you guess who the other one is??? You guessed it, Sophie our fat little Beagle! Its ok though, Nolan and Marlee love every pound of both our dogs Lola and Sophie.
