The Marchants

a little insight into our daily lives

Snow is Falling All Around

Ali | October 27, 2009

This morning I woke up to snow on the ground.  It has been snowing all day and it is beautiful outside.  Luckily, the roads aren’t too bad, but we have stayed home today.  Ben took Alonzo to the doctor this morning after a long night and we found out Alonzo has the flu.  The doctor said [...]

My First Pair

Ali | October 24, 2009

Those who know me, know I’ve played basketball for quite a while now.  Well, I’ve never had a pair of Jordan’s before.  We went to go look at some and I ended up falling in love with them and getting them.  I am so excited to wear them to play in.  They are very comfortable [...]

Peoa

Ali | October 24, 2009

Alonzo is learning how to say a lot of new things.  If we point to his Big Blue chair he can say, “Aggie.”  It is very cute.  We worked on saying, “Peoa” for quite a while on the way down to Grandma and Grandpa’s house.  You can understand it if you know what you are [...]

Baby #2

Ali | October 18, 2009

We are pregnant again.  That’s right, Alonzo is going to be a big brother.  We are really excited.  I am about 11 weeks along and can’t wait to get over this first trimester.  Hopefully after that I will get feeling a little better.  I think I understand a little better about how moms are too [...]

A Day at the Farm

Ali | October 11, 2009

We had a great time seeing all different animals on the farm.  Some of them I didn’t get pictures of, but we saw horses, cows, goats, puppys, donkeys, a pony, chickens, and tractors.  Alonzo had a great time running around and seeing all the different animals.   Our latest investment:  a palomino stallion.  He just [...]

Candle Light

Ali | October 9, 2009

Wednesday night Ben and I play co-ed volleyball with our stake.  I just finished an awesome dive on the floor to save the ball when the lights went out.  We were kind of confused if it was a power outage or just a problem with the breaker because there were other lights that worked.  We [...]

Conference for a Toddler

Ali | October 4, 2009

We watch conference for a little bit and try to fold our arms for the prayers.  We really like the songs, especially when we are looking for grandma. We build forts and play with our stuffed animals inside.   We shoot hoops in the family room and we have to step up at least a [...]
