Crazy Cousin Fun

Some more Arizona Hauck cousins came into town and it made for lots of fun....and not a lot of sleep! :) The Taylor Swift Dance Party

Sleepovers!

Playing in the snow Pizza Party at Uncle Chris's house with matching hair-do's by Aunt Melinda.

And the biggest event: saying goodbye to Michael Ammon who is leaving today for his mission to Zimbabwe! We'll miss you!

Happy 75th Birthday Dad!

My wonderful dad turned 75 a couple of weeks ago. We just had a laid-back family get-together since he was struggling with a fractured spine. (Which, unfortunatly, has since become MUCH worse). My dad is such a kind, patient, easy-going, wonderful man and the hardest worker on the planet. He is always willing to help those around him and has always been such a good example for me. I love him so much!
(It is so sad that when I took this picture I had a feeling that his health might soon severly decline and it has... )
The grandkids at the party.

My kids adore my dad and vice versa!

The cousins had lots of fun together, as always!

A picture-perfect moment with adorable Mara.

We love you Grandpa! Please get better soon!

Cutest Baby Boy

Marshall at 3 months old. I can't get enough of him! I love all his boy clothes, his babbling and rapsberry sounds (aka, the boy sound effects gene), his first haircut-- everything! We are so blessed to have him and love him so much!



The girls all love Marshall but Elie is particularly smitten with him. She loves to hold him and I love how, when he is fussy, she will rock him in the rocking chair and sweetly sing Primary songs to him until his calms down. So precious!

Brad Paisley

This concert was the BEST birthday present EVER!!
TOTALLY worth turning 30 for!
Steve and I have never been big concert go-ers, but we had SO MUCH fun! Brad put on an awesome show! It was a great night with my hot date!
He sang all my favorite songs and I was singing along to every word!

He came back to sing to the "cheap seats" right below us.

When he started playing "Remind Me" I was a little disappointed because I didn't want to hear the song without Carrie Underwood (He sang "Whiskey Lullaby" with the girl from The Band Perry and it just wasn't the same as Allison Krauss), but then they did this awesome video thing and at first I thought she was really there and I was freaking out. It was still SO awesome!

Thanks Honey for such a great gift and such a fun time last night! I love you! (WAY more than I love Brad Paisley....:)

3 months old!

Our cute little Marshall is already 3 months old! I can't believe it! He is so sweet and happy. I absolutely LOVE to see him smile and hear him laugh! He is an excellent sleeper--often doing 6 or 7 hour stretches at night. He still likes being swaddled and loves his binkie now too. Daddy wanted to try out the Bumbo, and though Marshall still needs a little head support, he loves sitting up. He has discovered his hands: he sucks on his fingers and even reaches out for his toys!

Emma loves to love Marshall-- and isn't always as soft as she should be. I guess she'll make you tough, buddy! I'm sure you won't be the "Little Brother" for long!
But isn't she cute!? Emmaline is in such a fun stage where she loves pretending. She fills up bags, purses and/or boxes with things and carries them all over the house, loves accessories, and is always talking or singing to herself. Three-year-olds are so funny and sweet (and a little crazy too...) !
