Graduation

Matt did it, he graduated!!! It was such a fun day. His parents came out and my whole family was there as well. Elder Anderson the new apostle was the speaker and did a great job. He talked about worldly wisdom versus Godly Wisdom. It was wonderful for all to hear. I will post a link to the talk when it is available.

After the graduation we had lunch at our house.

Matt got some wonderful gifts, but I was most proud of the gun I gave him. I have been saving my babysitting money, and he didn't have a clue I was getting it, which is an accomplishment for me. He and his dad went shooting and had a great time. It was a wonderful day and I am glad we have made it to this point.

Another thing that made it a great day is that the night before Matt found out that he had been accepted as a graduate assistant at Utah State. So we have a plan for the next year!!!! There is still a chance that he could be accepted to Physical Therapy school, but this is a great option if that doesn't happen. It is so nice to have somewhat of a plan for the future.

Life in the Harris Home

Well tomorrow is Marc's 6th month birthday. We are not having a grand celebration, but I thought I would mention it. Marc is now 20 lbs 14 oz and 27 inches long. He is not a baby anymore and has a fun personality. He gives great hugs and is fun to be around. He is working on sitting up, and does pretty well, but is not quite there. One of the cutest things he does is cross his feet when he sits down and when he is eating. Marc also got a new car seat. He was getting to heavy to carry in his other one, so we decided it was time. We love Marc and are grateful for him.



Matt have enjoyed being able to go snowboarding a few times this winter. He has had some fun trips with his dad and also some friends from Washington. I even went once with him and had a great time. Matt has applied to schools for Physical Therapy. We are still waiting to see if he will get into any of them. Hopefully we will know by the end of April. We will keep you all posted. He graduates on April 10, and is counting down the days. He has started working construction again, and we hope that job will continue through the summer. He will also be working at a physical therapy office, so he should be busy.



I am just at home with Marc and am grateful for the opportunity to be with him. I am excited for spring to really be here (and for the snow to stop coming) so that we can go on walks together. Marc loves being outside, and I love how good he is when we are on walks, so it works for both of us! We just got a jogging stroller and I can't wait to be able to use it. I am excited for the fun summer we have planed, and hope to be able to see lots of family and friends.

Happy Baby

Matt was getting Marc ready for bed and was playing with him a little. He blew on his tummy and Marc absolutely loved it. He was full out laughing which was a first. They played like this for almost 10 min. It was so fun to watch my boys playing together!!!

"My little Buckeye"

Matt's parents sent Marc a new onesie just in time for the big game. Matt came home from school and I had put it on him. The first thing that Matt said was, "My little Buckeye." He though that it was great. He even put on his Ohio State shirt so they could match. Oh ya, Congrats to Ohio for beating Michigan~ Go Bucks!!!

Matt's Bike Race

This weekend Matt participated in a bike race. It was a 40 min race and who ever completed the most times around the one mile course won. The course went around a nature park that is by our house. They had to go through dirt, on the grass, and over little barriers. Matt went around 10 times and took 4th. He said it was fun, but I don't think he was ready for 40 min straight on a bike. Marc and I had a great time watching him. It was a beautiful day and it was nice to get out.

Happy Halloween

We had a great Halloween together. Marc had a great time, but slept through most of it. He was close to filling out his costume (we think it is a puppy) but he didn't quite make it. I give him about a week and he will have out grown it!!!





We went to our ward trunk or treat where Matt and Marc made the rounds. They ended up with lots of candy. Marc was actually awake for this portion of the night, however I doubt he will remember it.


After that we went with some friends and their kids around their neighborhood. We had a system that the kids would tell us what kind of candy the house was giving out and if it was good (chocolate) either Matt or I would take Marc (who was sleeping) up and get some candy. It was a good night and I think that Marc had a good first Halloween.

Halloween Party

Our ward had a Halloween party tonight. It was fun. There were lots of activities and yummy treats. I think my favorite part was watching all the little kids running around. I am excited for Marc to be at that age. There were some cute costumes. Our costumes took some thought, but once people got it they thought it was pretty clever. Marc has a different costume that we will break out next week. See if you can get the cleverness of the costumes.

Here is a close up of Marc.


Ok for those of you who didn't get it:

Matt is a Welcome MATT
Katherine is a KAT
Marc is a Question MARC

So it is a little lame, but we had fun.

A rough day

Today was a little rough for Marc. I think he has a cold because he has been very fussy. He didn't sleep all afternoon, and usually takes two naps. I knew that he was tired, but I couldn't get him to go down. Well Matt got home and took him from me and they laid together on the couch. It wasn't long before they were both out. I guess Matt just has the touch.

Matt and Marc

Matt is so good with Marc. When Matt gets home from school he always wants to hold him. They have read many pages of Physics together, so I know Marc is going to be a genius!!! When I am doing something in the other room I can hear Matt talking to Marc and this is the most common phrase I hear, "You are so cute." Matt says he can now say the word cute because he has a baby. I love seeing Matt take care of Marc. He is such a good dad, and I know that Matt and Marc will continue to be best buds.

2 Year Anniversary

Matt and I have been married for 2 years now. I can't believe how fast time has flown. On Tuesday Matt had to take a test and I knew that we wouldn't get to do much to celebrate. On Monday we were talking and I asked Matt what he wanted for dinner the next night. He told me that he didn't think he would be home until 8 or 9 so he would just grab something to eat on campus. Well the pregnancy hormones are still in my blood and I said, "That's okay, I'll just eat leftovers by myself" and I started to cry. Matt was quick to console me and we decided that we would go out to eat on Wednesday instead. That night when he got home he brought me flowers and ice cream. The checkout lady had asked him what he had done wrong, and he told her it was just his anniversary. We did go out to eat and we got to go alone thanks to Marianne watching Marc for us. I had a good anniversary and I am thankful for Matt and all he does for me. We have had a wonderful 2 years and I know there are many more to come.
