Isla's New Bling

Check out this adorable knit owl headband I found for Isla at the Farmer's Market. She wasn't too into the idea of posing.




Gramma to the Rescue

Little Miss' stomach flu came back with a vengece this weekend. By Saturday night  the Marshall crew was in desperate need of some backup and I was in desperate need of some time out and some sleep. Thankfully Grandma and Uncle Jesse came to the rescue! 

Grandma brought everything they needed for the perfect slumber party... Cookies, a new movie, pizza, bread to make (because Q is really into using rolling pins these days) and Q's favorite snack... Chips!

I was tempted to skip dinner out and get straight to the sleeping part but I pulled it together and I'm glad I did. Pk2 and I went to Gabe and Jessica's bar, LTH and had a blast and some great food!

Grandma to the rescue

It was kind of a blur so I don't even think I have a picture but I still have to take a minute to give my Mom the shout out she deserves. Neither PK nor I felt comfortable taking off a lot of time from work for the Holiday's this year. I just stared a new job and the learning curve is still beating me up and PK is on a new small team where every ounce of effort counts. Unfortunately (for us anyway), we always give Luc Christmas Eve through New Years off so we were in a bit of hard spot. Thankfully Jesse offered to take the time off so he and my Mom could come and stay with us and help out with the kids while PK and I worked. Add a very sick and busy Mama and couple sniffly kids to that equation and Grandma was in for a doozy of week. She didn't flinch. Isla had her up all night and Q had her up and down stairs so many times that her legs were killing her. She didn't say it but I'm sure her hands are cracked and peeling from all cooking and dishes she did. I don't know where she kept finding the energy to be so helpful but she did and for that I am eternally grateful. The kids had so much fun with her and were so sad to see her go. She took a little bit of the Marshall crew with her ... Unfortunately it was our cold 😥.

Thank you so much for everything Grandma, we love you and appreciate you more than we could ever say.

Gumpa's 60th

OWe had a surprise "happy birthday" (as Q calls it) for Grandpa. I was a little afraid he would hate it but there was no way around it. Everyone wanted to celebrate him. It was a BLAST and loved it! Thanks to everyone who helped make it perfect! 

Now I just need a week to sleep...






Q picked out the perfect party hat for himself.


And Little Miss Monroe couldn't be cuter in Mama's headband. 








New Years

Q rang in 2016 at 8:00 with one of his favorite ladies and 15 leis... Such a character!




Perfect start to 2016

Bubba left his room key from Cano for Q. He's been carrying it around all day like a treasure. He keeps saying "bubba gave me his key because he loves me so much." So easy to please this kid.
