Sugar and Spice!

YES!!!!!!!!!!! It's true! The Marley's are having a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still can't wrap my head around it! I'm in total shock. We are going to name her Ella Rae Marley. Ella after my Mom and Great Grandma, and Rae after Lane's Grandpa Ray Thorpe. I went into that ultrasound completely prepared to have another boy. In fact I was sure it was a boy this whole time. When the lady giving the ultrasound said it's a girl we had to keep asking her if she was sure. She said there is no doubt it's a princess! To say that we are thrilled would be an understatement. We waited for this baby for so long. It makes all the stress and heartache trying to conceive her worth it. We are so excited to start this new chapter in our lives. We will keep you posted!

Pinewood Derby/St. Patty's Day!

The table set for our Leprechaun feast!
Leprechaun Punch! (Very Sweet!!!)

Yummy sugar cookies!
The kids had some friends over on St. Patricks day. They were hunting all over the yard hunting for leprechaun. I told them that I had seen a Leprechaun swinging on our swings and jumping on our tramp earlier in the day. They were so excited that they decided to make a trap. It was so cute to see how excited they were. ( Here is a pic of the kids building a leprechaun trap! =)

My little Scout!
Down and Derby baby!
We had and awesome cheering section! We had tons of support from our family! We were so surprised. Laney felt so special!
Laney had his first official Pinewood Derby the other night! He was so excited Laney worked on his derby for weeks with his Dad. We had lots of fun watching Laney race. He won an award for best truck design. Way to go Laney!

Spring Fever!





It was beautiful in Pocatello this weekend. We had to get out and enjoy the sunshine. We dusted off the scooters and went to the AMI trail head to breath in the cool fresh air. It was the type of day that you want to pull out your bikes get your hands in the dirt and wash the car. It felt so good to feel the sun on my face! I love winter but I am totally ready for spring!
