Merry Christmas!

On December 7, 2011 at 11:18 A.M. the boys and I welcomed a beautiful little girl we named Layla Noelle.  Layla weighed in at a plumping 8 pds 2 oz and measured 19 1/2 inches.

Layla has brought much joy to our lives and she has completed our family in every way imaginable.

Hope your family has a blessed Christmas!

Celebrating Layla and Chase

PRETTY IN PINK BABY SHOWER

FOR LITTLE MISS LAYLA!

It's all about the icing!

This little man was such a great help!

 Now to the best part of the weekend...my little Chase bugs 3rd birthday.  I planned on having the shower the same weekend as his bday weekend so my family didn't have to make 2 trips.  Chase's birthday consisted of his brother and his cousins, Brantley and Brendal.  

 I figured since I was not throwing him a party I would invest the money in a moonwalk.  It actually worked out really great.  While the shower was going on the boys stayed outside and jumped and jumped.  They jumped so much that Blake had trouble falling asleep because he felt like he was still jumping.

 They manage to get nanny in there!

 Can you guess what he got?

 Thomas the Train all the way, baby!

 It's so hard to believe he is already 3 years old.  It's been a challenging 3 years,  3 years I would never take back.  Chase is such an appreciative little boys.  Every time he gets to try a new food he is overwhelmed with excitement.  When I tell him happy birthday, Chase responds back with, "Happy Birthday to you too!"  He has overcome so much in his short 3 years.  I often look at him and think what in the world did I do to deserve this perfect little boys!

I can't believe I was blessed with this awesome life!

Waiting on Layla!

It's very hard to believe that I'm gonna be the mother of 3 soon.  My whole life I always dreamed about having kids.  Before I had kids I was the one who found the baby to hold at family events.  I was never the girl who dreamed of her wedding day...I was the girl who dreamed of what she was going to name her first child!

After having two boys I just assumed that I would be the mother of all boys and I was fine with that.  Now that I'm expecting this little girl no words can describe how I feel.  There are so many things I can't wait to do with her - Layla (it's very strange to finally put a name to her)!  First and foremost I just can't wait to meet little Miss Layla Noelle.  

I'm not the most beautiful pregnant woman.  I questioned if I should even have pictures made.  Then with all the craziness that has been going on I thought this is a way the boys and I can celebrate her arrival.  

One day I want her to know how much I wanted her! God gave her to me!  God gave her to me to share with all the wonderful people who have given me love and support the last 4 months!  She will be cherished and loved by so many!
