M y F i r s t M o t h e r's D a y
4 May 1972 - It was the day I became a mother
It seemed like I waited FOREVER to become a mother, and then on 05/04/1972 Tad Bradley Marshall made it happen. I will never forget the overwhelming euphoria I felt moments after he was born. I had never been happier. Of course my life has never been the same since that special day.

*Tad was such a beautiful baby*

This boy always believed life was to be enjoyed. He has always loved to make other people happy. To this day, he truly believes it is more blessed to give than to receive. Tad and Tyson went to Disney World when they were teenagers. Tad came home with zero cash in his pockets, because he had purchased souvenir gifts for the entire family. He started gift giving at a very young age, and he hasn't stopped.
Tad has always loved to have fun! Having some more fun.
...still more fun...

...more fun....


It just seems like the years went by so fast...

From Cub Scout...
...to Boy Scout...


...to Eagle Scout...


Then came the mission!
After the mission... along came this cute girl......then this happened
...then this...

Here is Torie!

...then along came Tara...

...then Tanner joined us..

...and so much has happened since that day

"Tad came home with zero cash in his pockets, because he had purchased souvenir gifts for the entire family."

-OR-

"Tad came home with zero cash in his pockets & bank account, because he was pulled over and fined (twice) in two states that require out-of-state drivers to pay cash at the time of the violation."

But, your explanation is probably true, too.

Sorry, Bro. It's time the story was told.
