I wish my house was haunted!

No really! I wish we had a ghost in our house. One that had O.c.D. when it was alive. So when you didn't get the dishes done or laundry folded you would leave the room and the ghost would have your laundry done. Or the dishes put away, the floor mopped , the beds made! ;) I would even pretend to be scared! Scared happy! Ahhhh to have a O.C.D ghost clean my house would be a dream! :)

Pumpkins!

We got our pumpkins painted! We had a wonderful time together ;) I love our little family! Live is gooooooooooooooooooood! ;)

Ella's Blessing Day!!!

Marley kids

Ella's big brothers love her so much!

I love her big smiles!

Sweet Angel!

Ella was blessed last weekend. It was a beautiful day and Lane did a wonderful job on her blessing. I asked my sister who is a fabulous knitter to make Ella's blessing dress. She did a fantastic job and Ella looked beautiful. Lane also wanted to get Ella a diamond baby ring.....but we couldn't afford that so Lane got her a little bracelet. We had a great day with our families. We are so grateful for our little Ella!

Sissy is 1 month old!

Where has the time gone! Ella is one month old! We have loved having her in our home! The boys fight over who gets to sit by her in the car. They are constently wanting to hold her. Some of Ella's milestones this month have been gaining weight, Playing with her brothers, Smiling, and sleeping in her own bed. She is such a joy. We all love her so much!

New Family Pictures!

My friend Whitney did pictures of the kids when Ella was 5 or 6 days old. She did a beautiful job even though my boys were being a little rotten ;) Thanks Whit!

She is here!

I'm so in love! Ella is 11 days old and I'm sad that she is growing up to fast already ;( It feels like she has always been been here. My labor was the easiest so far. I was induced and when they went to break my water it was already broken. I would have gone in to labor on my own anyway. I had no idea that it was broken. They started me on pitocion at 1 a.m. and by 4:20a.m. she was in my arms. It was pretty fast ;) It's a totally different feeling having a girl. We have been in boy mode for almost 9 years. It's so fun dressing her up and painting her toes. I love it! It's fun watching my husband with her. He is so soft and gentle with her. He even lets her sleep with us. He would never let the boys do that ;) The boys love her so much. They never leave her alone. She is so sweet and cute we never put her down. We have had so much love and support from or friends and family. I'm truly humbled by all the love, meals , gifts, and well wishes people have given us. We are so blessed to have so many wonderful people in our lives. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father sent her to us. She was so worth the wait. We cant imagine life with out her.

Preparing for baby

We have been very busy preparing for Ella's arrival. We moved Laney downstairs and decorated his new room. It turned out so awesome. Orange is his favorite color and I made sure that kid had an orange wall. Ryan moved to Laney's old room. He Loves Lighting McQueen and the color red. So We gave him a red wall and made sure he had plenty of Lighting stickers to decorate with. Next came Ella's room. I wanted it to be pink. This might be my only daughter so I had to go all out. Lane painted two walls pink and two walls off white. It turned out so cute, and it's very pink just like I like it! The boys were so excited to help there Dad put up her crib. We were ready to go except one thing. We needed a dresser for her. We looked all over for weeks at all the thrift stores and yard sales with no luck. Finally last week one of Lanes old employees came into the bank and told Lane that she was moving and had a dresser if we wanted it. He told her yes and that we would be by to pick it up. I couldn't believe our luck! Lane brought it home and started on it right away. We decided that we wanted to do it in the shabby chic style. It turned out beautiful! What a blessing that we were able to get that dresser. It only cast us 35 dollars in materials to refinish it. The lords hand is in everything. Including a dresser. We are now officially ready for this baby. I only have four weeks left and I have mixed emotions right now. I can't wait to hold my sweet baby and kiss her little face. But I have really enjoyed carrying her this last 9 months. I love feeling her kick and roll inside of me. I hope we are able to have more children someday. But if we aren't I can truly say that I have fully enjoyed this pregnancy. I'm so thankful! 29 Days! We will keep you posted!
