Halle Ann

Halle arrived very quickly in the middle of the night on October 16! That's right, all of my children have their birthdays within two days of each other! 6 out of 10 grand kids on my parents side have been born in October!
So I woke up around 1:15 and had my first contraction laid down about 10 minutes later and had another. I knew by how painful they were that it was go time so I woke Matt up to go to the hospital and then my water broke! He got the girls up and they were kind of out of it, and then called my parents to meet us there and grab the girls. Thank heavens we didn't think we had time to drop them off because by the time we got to Alta View, I was almost dilated to a 6! They were trying to rush things to get ready for my c-section and get the Dr there since I was progressing so fast. I kept asking for the epidural and they kept telling me they had to wait for a minute. Well, that turned into 15 minutes and then it was too late. So not only was I not having a c-section, but I was doing it Au-natural! I was scared and in a lot of pain but Matt was SO FABULOUS and kept telling me I could do this! Well, 7 pushes later Halle Ann made her appearance that apparently just couldn't wait anymore!
She is fabulous and beautiful and has frosted hair! It is the funniest thing and all the nurses just kept commenting on her frosted hair! We are all in love with this little girl. Even Addy and Emerie will just sit and touch her softly! Life is good and we have been extremely blessed with this little girl and by those that have helped us in the last few days! We are surrounded by good people with big hearts! Thank you to everyone, especially those that have taken the girls and loved them and spoiled them while we were at the hospital!
To baby Halle, who will one day read this! You are so loved and are one of our miracles! Your daddy and I count ourselves so lucky to be able to raise you on this earth! We love you!!!

Our babies are 4!!!

Today, our babies turned 4!!! I can't believe we are already here and getting ready to add another little one to our family! For a minute we weren't sure we would be able to do the party. This baby tricked us into thinking she was coming a few days ago and then decided she wasn't! So last night Matt and I decorated the house in pink everything so the girls could start off their day with a pink explosion:) They wanted pink pancakes for breakfast so that's what we had! Then they got to go to school where they were spotlighted and got sung to! After school, they chose McDonald's for lunch and then it was party time!!! They wanted a Pinkalicious party(surprise) so we bought everything pink and played with friends and ate sugary treat upon sugary treat! They absolutely got spoiled today and LOVED every second of it! We have pink toys and pink clothes all over the living room right now and both Matt and I have had our toes painted(yes, he totally would die if he knew I put this on here, but I wanted the girl's to remember all the fabulous and fun things their daddy does for them;) and I have had my Little Mermaid lip gloss reapplied every 5 minutes! It has been their best day ever and when I was asking them what their favorite part of the day was, it wasn't a certain present or a thing that made their day, they kept naming names of their friends and family that was the highlight of their!
I am sure grateful for these two and all that they have brought into my life and taught me!!!
Happy Birthday Addy and Emerie!!!

So life continues to be busy and fun and crazy and hectic! I am a little more than two weeks away from delivering this little girl and even with much to do(at least I feel there is so much to do) I am ready right this second and wish she would hurry up! Matt is just about finished with her room and has done an amazing job and I can't wait to post the pics! I love that he is a handy-man and if he doesn't know how to do something he figures it out!!!
The girls are in pre-school and absolutely love it! They are learning and growing so much everyday and everyday I see less and less of my baby girls and more of these independent and smart and beautiful little ladies:)
