Happy 11th to Nat and Chloe's Prom!

What a fun weekend we had. Nat had her b-day party on Sat. It turned out to be a Spongebob theme and Haley made another one of her famous cakes. It was pretty awesome. Nat had 7 pals come and we spent the afternoon at the skating rink. Everyone had a blast. Then it was back home for pizza, presents and cake.

After everyone left Chloe got ready for prom and Gene and I got ready for our adult session of stake conference. After Cody picked up Chloe we all headed to the high school for the PROMenade. This is where the couples get announced and we all get to see the gorgeous dresses and cute couples. Then we headed to stake conference, then ice cream with friends. It was a fun-filled, cRAzy-busy day and Marc ended up sleeping from 11pm to 6:30 am! :)

cool Spongebob Power bracelets.

the gang.

Got it! Finally got a Marc smile on camera!

little Marc is always in the picture!! He has turned out to be a great "go with the flow" baby- 'cause he doesn't have a choice! What a sweetheart!

I hope your wish comes true, 11 year old!!

PROM!!!

The 5 gorgeous Lawson children.

Chloe and her group. There were 24 kids in her and Cody's group and they had the best night ever. She came home that night soooo happy. I'm glad her last high school dance turned out to be such a special night.

On Sunday we had friends over for dinner!!! *whew* it was a super fun AND exhausting weekend!!

Happy Birthday Nat!!

Cousins, Easter, Sisters, Temple Square & 2 months:

Chloe before leaving for the Senior Ball. She had to grab her baby brother for the picture.
Marc loves the "spaceship" we've had for all the babies. It is super old fashioned, but he doesn't seem to care one bit. He can now grab and hold onto those toys. He's a brilliant boy.

Where's the baby? He's in there and Linds is playing with him.

Easter morning..

Loving the brother.

He loves this baby gym. We put him down on it just so so that he can go for the monkey, look at his gorgeous self in the mirror and kick at the other hanging toys.

Socks is always protecting our boy. Here he is at Marc's door.

Coloring eggs....

I made Chloe color a few since--- yes--- this is her last Easter "home" with us.

Cousin Anais came to visit us from CA. This is a blurry tender cousin moment.

Mother Nature left us a perfect trampoline Pie for Easter morning.

Our Easter Feast.

Loving his baby gym... he goes crazy on this thing. He is a super excitable baby!! It's adorable.

Familiar with TLC's "The Little Chocolatiers"?

We found their store and were very, very happy about it.

YUM.

Anais in on the phone with her mom telling her we were there!!

The Hatch Family Chocolate Shop

TLC's The Little Chocolatiers.... we were there again last night!!

This is the outfit my pal Staci gave me when I was first expecting.. before we knew Marc was a boy! I had it hanging in the dining area for months! It was good luck... 'cause we had a boy!

We love our boy.

He is saying- "Touch down!!"

The boy already loves all sports! Cool! ;)

Daddy/Son moment.

SLC, Olive Garden. Marc was such a good boy here!

Visitor's Center at Temple Square--Nat wore her heelies and was having fun speeding down the ramp.

My sister came to visit from CA.  She is still here and it's been way  fun.  My girls adore their auntie Laura and she has been a huge help with Marc.  I'm sad she is leaving tomorrow... I shall miss my sister.  She rocks!

Haley was holding the baby when this cute little girl came running up to her to see the baby.  She was very sweet and really loved Marc.

Temple Square... it was the perfect night.. beautiful spring night, nice and warm, gorgeous flowers everywhere- a trip to our favorite chocolate shop! Sister with us!  It was a super great evening.

Marc and flowers on Temple Square.

Marc is now 2 months old and is super social.  (I just don't know why.. with 4 sisters constantly in his face!)

Gene got him to giggle a little bit and was having a nice conversation with his son.  I was able to catch this adorable smile!

So, we've been nice and busy with cousins and sisters visiting, Easter fun, General Conference, spring break, happy baby boys and just today my BFF Denise came by for a long visit.  The weather has been beautiful, the peas are planted in the garden,  and yes, I'm still terribly exhausted, but I ignore it so I can join in all the fun this family has been having!

Happy 2 months to my sweet boy.  

too busy...

....to post anything these days...........too busy holding my newborn, he is nursing at this very moment.
i will post new pics in a few weeks when he turns 2 mo.

he is doing very well...sleeping great, cooing, chatting up a storm.....and being very loved by 4 big sisters. he tends to like me best, so i get to hold him the most.........and that's just fine with me.




i'm in love.
