Black Tie Wedding...playing dress up

It is offical, I am terrible at blogging, I know. But, I am going to keep rollin along. Here is pics from the weekend. We had so much fun. The girls had dresses custon made so they could be flower girls at a friend's wedding. They were gorgeous!

The girls with Sophia, the third flower girl at the rehersal.

With the mama.

Ana Maria made a beautiful bride.

With Julia, Sophia's mom! Front view of my dress.

Modest is always hottest!

Since we have three girls, the issue of modesty comes up a ton. They will point out to people and say, "mom, that is not modest because....(whatever the reason)....but, that is okay if they arewearing it because they don't know." Funny, I know.

Well, knowing they know our standard for modesty, we couldn't have them playing with barbies, or their princesses. I mean lets be honest, when you come across a naked Barbie on the floor, it is a little offensive right?

Well, here is the before:

And the after:



I just used a sharpie and colored a one piece bathing suit. Love the final result! What do you think?

Umm, so about our new baby...

Wow, I actually did give birth a couple months ago. Poor guy, already neglected...

William Bosco Merrifield
8 lb. 4 oz 21 inches long.

Quick story, for journaling purposes...and for anyone else who cares to know. :)
11 days overdue. Went to a movie Sat night. Contractions consistently 5 min apart.
Came home. Went to sleep. Woke up at like 3:30am, getting a little stronger. Went back to sleep till about 5:30am. Got up, started getting ready. Went to hospital at like 8:30am. Contractions 2-3 min apart. Dilated to a five.

By 3:30 pm, still only dilated to a 6. Doc came in with concern. Said fluids were lower than ideal. Wanted to break my water. She sat on the bed, broke the water, stayed on the bed, literally checked my water like 2 min. later and I was dilated to a 7. 4:30-I told Will I felt like I really had to go to the bathroom, like majorly and asked him to go tell the nurses.

He goes out to the desk and says, "Hey, I am going to get something to eat at the cafeteria, but JUST SO YOU KNOW, my wife is in the bathroom, she feels like she has to go, you know, real bad..." Leave it to Will.

The nurse said, "Honey, we do not do water births here!" and comes into the room.
Anyway, I felt an extreme urge to push twice and then it went away...I guess he was getting into position.

Around 5:00 I actually started pushing full on. It took a while, and it was hard. I am not going to lie, it was extremely painful. But I didn't cry or scream or anything. The doctor said that his heart rate was dropping and the last push I did I had to get him out, cause the cord was around his neck. I did...

He wasn't breathing for a little bit, and the nurse said that she wanted us to know he wasn't doing that great, so she handed him to nursery. He was purpley-blue and still wasn't breathing. All I could see was red hair and big hands. Finally, after what seemed like minutes, I heard his cry. I lost it. That was the first time that I was emotional with a birth of one of my children. It was amazing.

Since I heard his first cry, it seems like he hasn't stopped. LOL! Really, he cries all the time. Poor guy. I think he is just hungry or addicted to me...I don't know. I didn't realize I could be so addictive. :)

Thanksgiving

HaLLowEen and other things

For halloween, I made the twins costumes... Kensie was a cupcake. I saw pics on Potterybarn website and thought I could make it...but a little cuter. I think that I succedd.:) Gabbie wanted to be a pink puppy...hers took literally like 20 minutes, but Kensies took all day. Camo wasn't really anything, she stayed home while we went out to the neighborhood trick or treating.
Here are the twinners with their cousin Hannah the bumble bee.

On a mission

Adorable.

And some more random pics. We woke up one morning to over 30 plastic pink flamingos in the yard, so we took some pics. Kensie was not cooperating.

This picture sums up our lives at this point in time=Camo is a force. She is so strong! She really overpowers the girls at times.

She is getting big...and finally enough hair to clip back.

Think Blue...

Yes, at twenty three weeks, we have finally found out that we are having a boy! WHHOOO HOOO!
Not that I would not have been excited if it was a girl, all our girls offer something different to the family. It is just fun to know that we have at least one of each. :)
