Easter

The Easter Bunny came to visit and left Marc a ball. I think he could have left Marc an empty bucket and he would have been just as happy. Matt parents were here to celebrate with us and it was a fun day.

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.

Doctor Visit

Marc has had a cold off and on all winter, but this week he was worse than ever. I was worried about RSV so I took him to the doctor. They did all the tests on him (even took x-rays) and determined that it wasn't RSV just another virus. That was good to hear but they suggested we give him breathing treatments to help the cold go away, so we have struggled to get Marc to sit still long enough for the treatments. During them he often puts the tube right in his mouth, I guess he is getting the medicine, so I just let him do it.

Watch out world... Marc is moving

Don't be fooled by the cuteness, Marc is very capable of causing problems. He has now realized that he can move, and this has created more work for me. I can no longer leave him to just play on the floor because I never know where I will find him when I get back. Matt was watching him for a little while today and left him alone in the front room for a second. Well he heard a crash and then crying. Marc had gone across the room and pulled the laptop off of the couch onto his face. He now has a bruise on his nose. (sad)


He is moving all over the place now, and my goal tomorrow is to baby proof the front room so that Marc doesn't get another face shot. Well here is a video showing Marc's scooting skills.

Yay for Jen!!!!

My sister Jennifer is engaged!!! She went to Arizona to visit Isac this week for spring break and we all thought he would propose while she was down there. Well he didn't and we were all so confused. Matt was about to call him and see what his deal was. Well Matt and I were talking about it before we went to bed and we weren't sure what was going on. Well we went to bed around 10 and were sleeping peacefully when we got a call from Jen. She told me she was on my doorstep, well I woke Matt up and we went to the door. Well I figured that she had really gotten engaged while she was in Arizona and wanted to surprise up. Well we opened the door and Jen came in, and then Isac came in too. Well we were shocked cause he was supposed to be in Arizona, and then showed us her ring (Isac had her get her nails done while she was visiting, now we know why). Well Isac has actually left Arizona before Jen did. She thought he was going to class, but he fooled her. She flew into Salt Lake and then drove home. They had devised a plan to get Jen to Isac's parents house and then he surprised her and proposed. He had "built a scrapbook thing" (as my dad put it) with pictures and other things detailing their relationship that he gave her. She was so happy and it was good to see them. We are excited for the wedding which is June 12.

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.

Marc's Hair

Marc's hair had gotten a little out of control....


...and the day finally came where something had to be done about it. At 5 months and 2 days old he got his first hair cut.



It's a little shorter than I wanted it, but the hairdresser (me) doesn't really know what she is doing. He now looks so grown up, and I don't know where my baby went.
