Welcome to the World, Ms. Lydia Orion!!

She's here!! My best friend, Heather, her husband, Alex & big brothers, Dex & Cash welcomed a beautiful baby girl on 25 March at 4:29 a.m.!!! She weighed 8 lbs 8 oz and was 20 inches long. We couldn't be happier for them & couldn't be more shocked, as we SWORE Ms. Lydia was another boy...but, we're so stoked she's a little girl :) Congratulations, Feath & Al!! We can't wait to meet your sweet little girl~

Time Flies When You're Having Fun

It's amazing how time flies, isn't it? Our sweet baby Ella is now already 5 weeks old and I swear we were just in the hospital last week. Crazy. Anyway, here are some fairly recent pics of her with her big brother. Pierce continues to love on her any chance he gets and when he's not giving her kisses, he's trying to see what he can get away with while my hands are full. Gotta love it!

Brandon decided we (B, Pierce, my mom, & me) should each decorate the letters "ELLA" that we have for Ella's room. We had a great time with the stickers, glue (which Pierce decided was Vaseline and put it on his lips), glitter, etc.! We hung them in her room and they look fabulous!!

Some pics from when our moms visited us...

Pierce meets Ella for the FIRST TIME!

Welcome To Our Family, Ella Grace!!

We are so pleased and excited to introduce our newest addition of our family! Ella Grace was born on February 16, 2010 at 4:59 p.m. She weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 14 oz and was 21 1/4 inches long. The labor and delivery went very well and we're all feeling great!

This is my doctor, Dr. Peterson. She has TONS of pics hanging up in her office of her and the babies she delivers, so we thought we'd add to her collection!

The first pic of us with Ella.

I can't tell you how long I've waited to be able to put bows in my little girl's hair...

Here's Gigi meeting Ella for the first time. She flew in on Tuesday evening and came right to the hospital...it was so good to see her!!

Pierce fell in love with Ella the moment he saw her. I will try to post the video, as his reaction is the purest form of love through a little boy's eyes. It's breath-taking to watch him!

Thank goodness, I still seem to be the #1 girl in Pierce's life...for now! :)

We came home on the 18th and are now getting used to life as a family of 4. My mom is here to help us out and we're so very thankful for her. B's mom will come in a few weeks to help when Brandon goes back to work.

Kisses for baby sister...
