Gotta love Elvis!

Congrats to my little sister Haley for getting married :) There was a total of 18 people who made it to Las Vegas to witness the Elvis performed wedding. It was so much fun! We stayed in the fabulous Mandalay Bay (WOW) what a great hotel! I wish I had pics with Elvis but they have been ordered and trust me I will share when I get them. So funny!This was just before the bachelorette and bachelor parties. The guys played it safe and went to Dick's Last Resort (its a restaurant) then Coyote Ugly (it was to wild for them) then to the Piano Bar at the New York Hotel. Us girls on the other hand went to eat at some fancy Mexican food place (I don't know the name) and then to see The Thunder From Down Under. Yep we did! Then we walked around with these cards making them do silly things. We all had a fun time!
The wedding was at Graceland Chapel. Elvis sang 3 songs. It was all short and sweet. They literally push you out the side door when its over so they can marry the next couple. So Funny! Haley looked amazing! I didn't take very many pictures I relied on everybody else. I haven't received any from anybody yet (but I haven't emailed the ones I have to others either :))
After the wedding we went to the Venetian where the happy couple took a romantic ride on the gondola. As romantic as it can be with everyone in the whole place taking your picture. But it was pretty special :) After that we had a very fancy meal at our hotel. Then we all made it down to Fremont street where we walked (I got pushed in a wheel chair) around and gambled a little and they had there picture taken by strangers LOTS! (just a thought.... what do you do with random peoples wedding pictures when you get home) All in all it was a great day!
And the only other picture I have on my camera is of my sweet sweet husband on our last long day in Vegas by the hooter race car. Yep we are so redneck that Elvis married my sister and my husband likes Nascar :) It was so much fun and I cant wait to go again!

IT'S A ................

Boy!!!!!!
We went for a sonogram yesterday and it was very noticeable that it was a boy. Don't worry I wont post the pictures :) We are so excited its a boy because I really think this will be our last baby. My body just cant handle it again. So we are thrilled to have one of each. I love being pregnant! There is nothing like feeling the baby move! Ansley is a little sad - she wanted a sister. But I think she will love a boy just the same. I'm a little scared......... I can be a mom to a girl with my eyes closed, but a boy I'm not to sure. I'm a girly girl :) But our families are so excited the last boy born on my side was 15 yrs ago. So its time! He will be so spoiled! And its a good thing its a boy because Eric and I couldn't agree on a girls name. So all is well here and we are so excited!

New Life!

I hope everyone had a great Easter. This year was pretty special to us for so many reasons. This is the first year that we have really been involved in a church that we could truly call our home. My mother in law (Shelly), Eric and I got the privilege of teaching Ansley's Sunday School class. We had 15 or so kids ranging in age from 5-12. It was such a joy to teach them the lesson and know that they actually got the true message of Easter. And I can say I learned some things too :) It was so much fun!
We went to my parents house for all the family fun and great food. The kids hunted Easter eggs despite the wind. We now have a huge basket full of candy that will never be eaten. We still have candy from Christmas (I guess its time to throw that away).
Ansley is holding a confetti egg and can't wait to hit someone on the head with it :)
Kinley loved the confetti eggs ...... she walked around saying "head please". She looks worried but I promise she was laughing!
On to other things. I thought you might all need a Bridgette fix. I got to watch the girls 3 days last week so you know I took lots of pictures! She is such a good baby! She coos all the time and I even got her to laugh at me. So cute! I think she looks more and more like Haley with blue eyes :)
No this is not a picture of a turkey though that's what it looks like. It is the biggest blessing we could ever ask for! We are having a baby! I am 15 weeks pregnant and feeling pretty good. This one has been much easier then Ansley was. Another blessing. But I didn't think there was a better day to share this new life with everyone then the time when Jesus Christ died to give us all new life. He died for our sins so that one day we can all live an eternity with him! So celebrate your new life! I know we have lots to celebrate!

I love being an Aunt!

I have to start with WOW! My sister is one amazing woman! Baby Bridgette is now a little over two weeks old. She is doing wonderful and smiles at me all the time (and no its not gas!). I cant say how humbled I am for her to have my middle name. I love being an aunt! I love that I get to see them grow into the women that God has planned them to be. I know this seems late but I wrote it all right after she was born and somehow my blog ate it! It disappeared! I was so mad! So here we go again ...... Haley went to the hospital to be induced because she was already past due and Haley had to start school on the next Wednesday. I know, I know, super woman! She had all kinds of issues with the epidural ...... it didn't work. She dilated from a 4 to a 10 in twenty minutes. And out came Bridgette, the Doctor barley made it. I was so blessed to get to be apart of her birth like Kinley's. I told the Doctor I forgot how stressful it all is! But Haley did wonderful, the nurses where all impressed with how strong she was. I cant sing her praises enough. Bridgette was 7 lbs 14 oz and 19 1/2 inches long. Just Beautiful! Speaking of beautiful .... Kid Kinley is soooo in love with her new sister. While in the hospital she didn't want anyone else to hold her. It was so cute. Now for pictures....... well some of them (I have lots)

Uncle Eric

Kinley and her new little sister.

Don't you love all that hair!

Anlsey loves her lots!!!!!

Sorry its so small but its oh so cute. Daddy and his girls!
Baby Bridgette is sleeping at night 7 hrs straight for the past few days! So hurray for that! She had her first Dr's apt. today and she has gained almost a pound and grew 1 inch. So shes healthy as can be! We love her bunches and are so blessed to have her in our family!
