Resolutions or Revolutions?

2 Months Old Marshialious


Marshall had his first Super Bowl party yesterday and slept most of the game. He did watch the last quarter on his vibrating bouncer, which he loves, right in front of the T.V. He loved it. He is sleeping through the night now, well 8 hours. So when he goes to bed at 9:30. I have to get up at 5. I'm not complaining. Just saying I would consider a full night when I get up at 8 or 9. I like to sleep. :) When Marshall was born he looked just like me when I was a baby. Now that he's a little older he looks just like Steven. I guess that is how it will always go. Women go through labor pains to have all her children look just like the father. I know this is not true for every birth but for my first it is. One good thing about it is is that he will look like a man instead of a woman. :)

So I didn't quite enjoy the halftime show for the super bowl. The sound system wasn't quite right or maybe that was Fergie's voice. (Hmm...) Steven and I were lucky to go see his dad with his sister Nat and her boyfriend Joe. They made us food and we all enjoyed the company and the football game.

Some of my personal New Years Resolutions or Revolutions (Steven came up with revolutions) are to:
-Cook dinner 3-6 nights a week.
-Not eat fries or drink soda.
-B's and above in school.
-Exercise.
When I say 'Exercise' I'm trying to gradually do more and more each week. I have to get in shape for soccer this fall and just having a baby will do some good stress on your body. Steven made some too but I'm not so sure I'm allowed to say them, but I will tell you this, he thinks I'm not eating candy this year and I've eaten so much already. I can't help but eat the chocolate that is in front of me!!! :)

For Christmas someone gave us and I-Flip or Flip camera. (Thank you uncle Ross!) I would highly suggest you get this item this year. I carry it in my purse and have been so happy that I have it when I need it. It's small and very convenient. When you want it on your computer all you do is flip out the flash drive that is connected to it and put it on your computer. That simple. Once cool feature that I love is you can see each frame personally and save it as a photo too. So if you purchase and HD I-FLip the freeze frames look just as good as a photo. In fact the picture used on this blog is from the one of my videos.

Well good luck to you all that have made Resolutions or Revolutions for this year and life. I hope you all succeed like I plan on doing.

First Attempt

Hello family and friends. Steven and I wanted to start a blog so that we can keep you all updated on our little family.

Steven is currently working at Clark Pest Control as the 'face of the company'. He enjoys most of the company around him but prefers not to have a desk job. He is great with costumer service which is what he does most of the time. He rather be at school but because he is a loving husband and father he is letting his wife, me, finish first. Lately Steven has been getting into, or should I say, 'digging' into all types of fishing. Right now his main focus is Fly Tying, he really enjoys it and is really good at it too (I'll try to take some photos of his Fly's.) Steven is really good with our son Marshall. He does this rocking thing that seems to put Marshall right to sleep. He loves spending time with him and playing games that make mothers nervous. :) I cannot do what he does at all. He recently decided that when he returns to school he will go into Nursing. We are both excited about this because he has the 'umpf' to do this type of career.

Marshall Denner Rusty Young was born November 19, 2011. He was 9 lb. 8 oz. and 21 1/2 in. He was one big baby. Everything went well with the pregnancy and he currently is 15 lb. and 25 in. Let me remind you that he is only 2 months and 2 weeks old. He already wears 3-6m and 6m clothing. Nothing 3m and under will fit. I think he wore each outfit once. Marshall is 90% in height, weight, and head size for a baby at his age. He enjoys eating every 3 hours and just recently decided to be nice to mommy and sleeps for 7 hours a night. So he goes to bed around 9:30-10P.M. and then wakes up for a feeding about 5A.M. and then he goes back to sleep till about 8A.M. It's fantastic. He enjoys naps, food, bright colors, TV, and seeing everything. He rather sit up than lay down. HOW TIME FLIES!!

I am currently going to Delta and in the fall I will transfer to UOP in Stockton. I will be attending UOP full time and playing soccer for the university. I'm really excited to go back but really torn because I miss Marshall even when he's with Grandma Alexander for only an hour. I hope to be done in 1 and 1/2 years with at Bachelors in Communications. Who knows what I'll do with that but Steven wants me to be a stay-at-home mommy anyway. I'll probably end up coaching soccer as a hobby.

Well I have caught you all up-to-date with the Young family. I hope I keep up on this blog so you all can enjoy reading about the Young's.
