My First H&M Outfit

Thank you Aunt Suzanne, Uncle Matthew, Isaac, Joey & Thomas for this fun outfit! I love you and can't wait to meet you! Love, Seth
p.s. Marcus was being a stinker and didn't want to take a picture in his new shirt, but he is now calling himself "The Boss"

Happy Birthday Aunt Wendy

Happy Easter!!

Marcus
Easter 2007

Our Cove has an annual Easter Egg Hunt with all the kids. We also had planned a BBQ which lasted about an hour because the spring weather turned into winter weather.
The kids did a great job entertaining themselves while waiting for it to begin.
Marcus is with one of his best buds, Caleb.
Where are you Marcus?

Marcus' friend Eliana showing me all the eggs she found.

MOM, LOOK AT ALL THE CANDY!!! Marcus had great fun "cracking" open his eggs to see what was inside. Like mother, like son - He didn't like any of the chocolate candy!

The New Name

Seth John Herbert Bacon

Our Baby has a new name! After a week of calling him "The Baby" (I couldn't bring myself to call him Ryan) I told Jon our son needed a new name. I know, Michelle is Crazy, but that is what Jon gets for making me pick a name when I wasn't quite sure. However, I had no idea what his name should be. So after a few days we both agreed and felt that Seth was a good name for our son.

Jordan World Circus

You can't tell in the picture but Marcus is actually dancing to the 80's music! The circus was... well lets just say they didn't have a really big budget... However, Marcus loved it and that is why we went. We really have to thank our dad because he spent a small fortune on us and missed his basketball night. Thanks Dad! We love you!

You could have your picture taken with the Bear, but this was as close as Marcus would get! He did go on a pony ride, mom totally missed it because she was watching the elephants

The Train Show

My dad took me to a Train Show. It was so cool to see all the trains. The best part was after my dad drove 90 miles an hour on the side street to make sure I got to see a real train go by our house! We stuck our arms out the window pretending that we were blowing the whistle and the conductor tooted his whistle for us!

Look, Trains!

My conductors hat.
