The Cake!

Seth destroyed his cake! He started off slow then once the sugar hit him he was having a great time! Pounding then eating then pounding then eating then somehow it got all over him and in his eyes and hair and of course his dad was freaking out about the mess...

Thomas The Tank Engine Birthday Party!

We had a great time celebrating all the March Birthday's in one day (Natalie & Grandpa Bacon were there in spirit!!) However, I've decided that this year I am going to start buying March Birthday present in July, it was almost as crazy as Christmas! We had my mom on the 7th, Grandpa Bacon on the 10th, Seth on the 18th, Grandma Payne on the 20th, Erin on the 26th, Jonathan on the 31st and Natalie on the 31st!! Wow, what a month!!
Happy Birthday again to you all. We love you!

Growing-up...

I can't really think of anything to say to add to this picture. I love my Marcus...

Our First Adventure to Chuck E. Cheese

Do we look like we are having fun or what!?!
Thanks Aaron, Colleen & Ashton for a fun night of pizza and never ending shoe basketball!!

Ashton was the only one brave enough to get his picture taken with the Chuck E. Cheese band. Marcus was, let's just say, a tad bit apprehensive about the larger than life singing animals!

Marcus & Ashton love Monster Trucks. Chuck just so happened to have one you could ride! Hold on Tight!

We loved the arcade games! When I say we, I really do mean the boys: Jon, Marcus, Aaron & Ashton! They had a great time stepping on spiders, bowling for points, seeing who could get the token to roll into the highest amount of points, driving cars and motorcycles, ah, the list goes on...


Seth, of course, wanted to play every game. The kid does not want to stay in my arms anymore. I just wish he would learn to walk so he doesn't have to have his hands on the floor. This is his all time favorite thing to do: Drive!

And the best was we didn't leave empty handed! Jon & Marcus had a total of some 400 tickets. Marcus "bought" a helicopter and binoculars.

All in all it's a great place. The salad bar was a little lacking but, who goes to Chuck E. Cheese for the salad? The pizza was edible, the entertainment was great and the games were sometimes working! We'll see but this probably won't be the last adventure we take to Chuck's place!

Seth's First Barbershop Haircut

Ok, I know what you are thinking - these aren't pictures of a haircut. Well, you are correct. The reason is: I didn't take any pictures of the first haircut! However, I did take pictures of the first oreo cookie that just so happened to have been eaten on the same day as the first haircut! Does that count? Plus, I was holding Seth on my lap, he was eating a sucker I was trying to keep out of his hair while he was getting the haircut. At the same time I was telling Marcus what a great job he was doing sitting so still and being so brave while getting his haircut! Did you see any possible way a picture could have been taken!?! You'll have to settle for pictures of the Oreo Cookie!

Number 1 Basketball Player...

Not to be out done, Marcus shows us his basketball moves!

We love our Marcus! He is SO into sports and has somehow acquired sporting gear to go only with all his favorite sports teams!
Jazz - Basketball
Broncos - Football
Bees - Baseball
BYU - Any sport!

more basketball...(as Superman this time!)

Why is everything upside-down!

Seth, DON'T EAT THE CAMERA!!!
