Birthday Fun

Well, last week was lots of fun. We came to my parents house for my mom and Carlie's birthday party. It was fun. Here are only a few pictures. I realized after I put these up that I did not even have 1 single picture of the Birthday Girls. You can tell that Hadlee and Eli dominated the camera. They are adorable together!

Eli had tubes put in his ears on Tuesday. He did pretty well. I was certainly glad to see that part get over with. I had been feeling better until Tuesday later in the day and Wednesday. Today I had to take brethine because my contractions were about 9 minutes apart. Not fun. I guess it's just going to be that way until the end of this pregnancy. I sure am ready to meet her, but not like this!


Jill has let us borrow a lot of Hadlee's clothes and every once in a while I'll go back and look in the closet where her clothes are and just look at them. A part of me just cannot believe that it is a girl. The other part of me is VERY excited. I just don't know what to do with a little girl after having 2 boys! I guess we'll see.












Eli loves coming to Nanny's house and riding on the rocket.

Well, this week has been pretty good. It's the best I've had in a while. I have been on bedrest and that is a Pain! Last week we came down to Casscoe to stay with my mom and dad while Cody and Bro. Jeff went to the State Association Meeting. Unfortunately I am not able to lift Elijah (which he wants a lot right now). We really had a good time. Noah enjoyed getting to play with Maxee and Trey. Elijah and Hadlee got to play together although I don't think they really understand that right now. We went to the doctor at the beginning of the week for both Eli and myself. Dr. Selby said I am still on partial bedrest. He did an ultrasound which showed that Ellie Kate had turned her little self around and is now breech. I really think that she moved back though in the past day or so. Anyway, we went to Dr. Shaw for Eli's appointment and he said that Eli's ears are not awful right now, but he had just gotten off of antibiotics and they weren't good enough for him to have just gotten off of that. He is getting tubes in his ears next Tuesday the 17th so hopefully he will be better. Hopefully I'll be able to give an update after all of that! I hope everyone has a terrific week!

Already November

Here are a few pictures from this last month. We didn't take the kids out trick or treating, but we did dress them up and take their pictures. They both were so sweet and adorable.







Elijah did not like that "mane" on but he looked so adorable in it. Noah, however, did love his giraffe costume and wanted to wear it to sleep in it!












Cody gave thedevotional about the pumpkin to our kids. I know they don't look like they were hearing anything he said, but God's word doesn't return void. Just when we don't think they are listening or paying attention they surprise us!















Elijah had on his "i love mom" pajamas and I caught him playing in mine and Cody's room. He was so adorable that I had the hardest time getting on to him.

I truly am amazed at how fast this year has gone by. God has been so good this year. Not that he hasn't other years, but truly I have felt and seen the loving hand of My father, friend, and comforter. We found out we are having a little girl on Oct. 12th. The day before my birthday. We decided her name will be Ellie Kate. I have been on bed rest for the last week, but other than that we are just looking forward to seeing her in about 10 more weeks!!
