So it has been a really long time since I have posted anything so I am jamming a bunch of pictures and information into one big post. We went to Bear Lake with Jimmy, Lori, Valerie, and Jace. We had a lot of fun and with much practice Marin was able to say Jace. She says it Sace, J's are not her strong point. Sesus is my favorite. Oh and Suice, I could go on for a while. Anyway. Here Marin is giving Jace kisses. They sure had fun together. 
While we were up at Bear Lake Rachel was in Paris France and we just wanted to be that cool so we took a drive to Paris Idaho. Let me tell you the sights were wonderful. They had Jack's Paris Cafe...which was out of business can't imagine why a Jack's didn't do well in Paris. Or maybe it was like EVERYTHING else up there it is only open seasonally.
This is those little storage rooms that you often find under the stairs in the condo that we stayed at. Valerie is covered in the pillows, the girls would play under there all day if we let them, they played well together which made the trip that much nicer.
On the way home we stopped off at subway and Marin kept asking for more, more, and more. So I just gave her half of my sandwich. You can tell from her eyes that she is smiling from ear to ear. I snapped the picture, cut the sandwich in half and she ate the whole thing. At least it is healthy right?
We let Marin play with the camera on the way home, she likes to take pictures along with multiple pictures up her nose she got this picture, I thought it was cute.

The super bowl! I was glad the Saints won not sure why but I was happy for them. Marin loves football so Mark found her this shirt and she spent the day running around so it was hard to get a picture of her holding still and posing with her I love Football shirt....this is as good as it gets. We thought she looked pretty cute. 
My friend Joni moved to Vegas *tear*. Oh so sad. However it is a good thing for her family so hard to be sad when she is happy. Here is her little girl Madi with Marin. If you can't tell they are pretty good friends.
We have been working on saying Cheese for the camera.... it is paying off! I am getting more and pictures with this expression which is nice, since we usually get a blank stare. See she can smile!
Of course sometimes you get this look..... which is not so cute, but funny.
Mark and Marin cooking breakfast, Marin likes to wear aprons if someone she likes is wearing an apron. She is still in her PJ's and probably not all the way awake here but it is a nice picture of Mark and Marin.
Helping pouring flour I think into the mix. If there is anything near her she will dump it in the bowl so she usually has her own bowl that she can pour whatever and however much of things she wants into.
Robbie's birthday was this past Sunday and my parents were in Texas for my cousins wedding so we had dinner without them. Robbie cooked steaks they turned out really good. Here is a picture of the people that got to enjoy dinner with us.
After dinner Marin was kind of fussy so I took her downstairs to go to bed but she decided it was more fun to plop down in between Kim and Steven and watch what? The little mermaid.... Oh Steven.
Robbie opening one of his presents on his birthday.
Steven and Kim got into a frosting fight, I couldn't help but put this picture up. Funny kids.
Marin didn't get into a frosting fight she just ate spoonfuls of frosting. (again working on the "cheese" here)
Mark's birthday! We went to the Bean Museum. So when I turned the corner and saw this bear I may or may not have jumped a little. So I made Mark stand in front of it so you could see how big it was. This thing was huge! Mark's face is washed out but you get the point.
Marin standing in front of one of the Lion's .
Had to get a picture of Mark and Marin in front of Mark's favorite animals.
This picture is for Robbie, he calls Marin a baboon and she called them boons. She was pretty excited when we showed it to her. So here she is sitting in front of her baboon.
Marin was pretty good for the most part. She would sit and listen as long as you had something to show her and lucky for us there was A LOT to look at.

After we went to Tucanos for a late lunch we had fun, Mark doesn't like to take pictures in restaurants so I have no pictures from that. It was fun though. Then we stopped off and got a few movies and came home and watched movies. It was a nice night...oh yeah and presents, Mark got to open his presents but I left it in the back of my Dad's car and just wrapped it in a towel and he didn't want to wait for me to wrap it for him so again I have no pictures of that either. While watching movies Marin decided she wanted her fingernails painted. It was a fun day. Man that was a long post and now my day is flying past. Gotta get to work!
