School

Jesse started school about a month ago. So we've been really busy. Jesse is going to school in the evenings after work and on Saturday mornings. We don't get a lot of time together, but we are make the best out of the time we have. Since Jesse has been going to school, we both have to work on Wednesday mornings so for the past month Mammy or Papa has been coming down Tuesday night's and picking Marcus up to spend the night, and I went up Wednesday's after work and picked him up. He has had a lot of fun and learned new things. We are so grateful for them to watch him. It has lifted a big burden off our shoulders. (I think Mammy and Papa liked it too.) Here are some pictures that Mammy took over the past month:

Yelling at Uncle Doggy for putting him on the fridge.

Since school is out for the summer Grandma Bates is going to start watching Marcus on Wednesday's. We are so thankful for her help as well. We couldn't do this without our families.

Marcus Dancing

I was watching dancing with the stars last night, Marcus climbed up on the subwoofer and started dancing. Dada was mad that Marcus was up there, but Momma thought that it was hilarious. Here is some of the video I took...

Moab Sunburn

We had so much fun in Moab. Marcus had a blast. He loved being able to run around and get dirty. On one of the days we were down there, Marcus and Auntie Allie went on a hike. I forgot to put sunscreen on him (I know, I know...I work for a dermatologist, I should know better), and I didn't leave any for Auntie Allie to put on him, so his little face got burnt. She feels really bad about it, and she shouldn't! It was my fault. I took these pictures yesterday...It looks a lot better, his eyes aren't as swollen as they were. He's a trooper, it hasn't even phased him.

Off to Moab

We are getting ready to go to Moab, Jesse and Marcus are up in Heber getting the last mintue jeep things done. After work I'm off to pack...Grandma, Grandpa Bates and Auntie Allie are coming with us. It's going to be really nice to get away for a weekend. We'll post pictues when we get back...

P.S. Please pray Jesse doesn't roll the jeep, so I can drive ;)

Easter

We went up last Thursday to Heber to visit Mammy and Papa. The "Easter Bunny" hide some eggs for Marcus it find. Good thing that they were plastic because he thought that they were balls. He kept throwing the eggs and kicking them. It was really cute. Mammy bought Meghan 4 dozen eggs to color. Marcus kept trying to eat the colored eggs, shells and all. Meghan took a lot of good pictures, but when she went to download them, Marcus tried to help her and broke the memory card and card reader. When she fixed them, the card reformatted that lost all the pictures. She was not happy...
On Easter, we went to Auntie Allie's for dinner. Marcus had soo much fun playing ball with Aunt Christine and Cousin Max. Aunt Christine bought him a cool sticker book. Marcus isn't quite patience enough for it yet.
It was a really good Easter, we just don't have the pictures prove it...

Marcus & Daddy Playing...

We went over to Auntie Allie's again last week to play at the park. Marcus didn't want anything to do with me...he wanted to play with Daddy. They had a lot of fun.
