A Royal Wedding!

OK I'm totally waking up at 4a.m. to watch this. I know some of you are asking yourself why? Why do you care? Well the answer is because I'm interested in it. I've always been fascinated with the Royal's. I've read several books about Princess Diana and I was in love with William when he was a teenager. Plus why not. Look at all the awful things happening in the world today. It's kind of fun to enjoy some happy news! This week there are all kinds of specials on T.v. about the wedding and royal family. I can't wait! Maybe there will be a royal baby in the next few years........... Well one can only dream ;) So if you need me on Friday the 29th of April forget it! I'm busy all day! ;)

Belly Pic's 22 weeks!

Here it is! 22 weeks and counting. Baby Ella is growing and kicking. She is about the size of a spaghetti squash. Ryan has even given her a nick name. Pookie baby.......... We are all so excited we can hardly contain it. I'll post more pic's of Ella and I as we grow!

Rock on!

Don't you ever just want to rock out? My boys love crank-in up the music and rockin out with there Dad. I heart my boys!

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!

Officially in my second trimester!.......

That's right folks it's official I'm in my second trimester of pregnancy! It's been 5 years since I was pregnant last so everything feels new and unfamiliar. But so far I've had a wonderful time! The other day I crawled under the stairs searching for my maternity clothes. When I opened that box I was shocked that they were so out dated. They weren't that bad in my head. So today we went up to Idaho Falls to do a little shopping. I'm growing out of my regular clothes but I'm too small for maternity clothes.(Blast that in between phase!) I found some cute stuff that I can start wearing now, that will also grow with me as I get bigger. AHHHH It's nice to be able to breath in my jeans! I love you maternity pants! ;) We ran all over today and the boys were perfect angles! I love my little men! I'm so blessed to have such wonderful boys to raise. I have to admit they are super easy. Thank you lord! I have another Dr. Appointment on March 10th. I can't wait! The only thing I hate about it is when they take my weight! Yuck-O! Really they do that to torture us. It's a reminder of just how much weight we have to lose after the baby. But I don't care. I've had two children and I know I get huge. (No rose colored glasses here!)
