Reagan Olivia is here!!

Reagan Olivia was born December 29 at 2:21 pm. She weighed 9 pounds, and was 21 and a half inches long. Check out those cheeks!!!

They passed out little Beaver hats so Reagan sported hers during the game today! Yay Beavs! We got to watch most of the game while we were still at the hospital.

The proud big brother...he loves everything about her! He also immediatly strikes a pose when he's holding her, it's as if his mom takes pictures of him all the time or something. :)

Marlee is going to be such a big help with her little sissy, and she is loving every minute of it!

Cousins playing at the hospital...gotta love the static! They were playing in the curtains and watching out the window.

This lady just makes my heart happy. She's amazing and such a good 'Nammer' !

DUE DATE!

Oh yeah, and today is my due date...but no baby yet. I'm trying to be patient, but it's hard! :) I can't wait to meet this little girl.

Some catching up...

This post is a little backwards...but then again I haven't blogged in so long that it shouldn't matter.
Uncle Chris and Aunt Staci had an awesome idea for Christmas to get the kids trees to plant at Nammer and Dockers house. The kids LOVED this, as they got to go outside and help plant the trees, and they keep saying they want to go and live there so they can check on the progress of their trees.

Before that there were of course quite a few snow days. Hence some snow pictures.

The neighbors dog, but such a cute picture I couldn't leave it out! :)

Tasting some snow...

Of course picking out the perfect tree...it's hiding behind Rob mostly. :)

And back on the very first day of December we got to meet our latest little nephew...Jesse Dale, (Jon and Steph's second little boy) and of course we were all excited to do that! This month has flown by, and he's almost a month old already, cute as can be and such a good baby!

Just catching up a bit...it's been a while since I blogged. :) Halloween, harvest party at the fairgrounds...Uncle Jon was working there helping with parking, so the kids were excited to see him.

Tatum was here the weekend before his first birthday, and he even came to Marlee's last soccer game. Happy Birthday Tater Bug!!! We love you and miss you!

The kids had so much fun helping with filling the new woodshed that dad built.

And hauling the wood to fill the woodshed...they were a little helpful, but mostly loved climbing the hill and standing on stumps.

And in recent news...Owen had an eye test today, and got to wear these cute glasses because they dilated his eyes.

I'm 6 and a half weeks from my due date, and am getting anxious and excited! But we still haven't come up with a name for her. :(

Just try and beat that!

Tonight when Marlee said her prayers, she said, "thank you for my mommy because she is the bestest drawer ever! " Um...yeah. I'm good. I draw a mean rainbow, what can I say?

Happy Anniversary to us!

6 years, 2 and a half children later, and we're still kickin'. I love this man more every year!
Marlee took these first two pictures.
My mama's flowers are gorgeous...I wish I had a green thumb like her!

School and Soccer

So sweet! :)

Marlee's first day of school...last week, but just now getting the pictures up. :)

Her first game is this Saturday, so today they had their first "practice" and get together.

Lining up tallest to shortest...what can I say? She takes after her mom.
Yay! We got a great color for our uniforms!
Owen likes her socks.

Posing.

Just a few things about me~

So, I was tagged a while back and I'm supposed to come up with 7 interesting things about myself...


1. I like to organize my kids clothes in rainbow order in their closets. "Like to" might be the key words right there, because they never stay that way for too long.

2. I had kidney cancer when I was pregnant with Marlee. The doctors found it because I had a kidney stone, so they did an ultrasound, and then 12 days after she was born, they chopped out my kidney, along with the cancer. I have had no problems since, and I'm coming up on 5 years. Usually this is something that old men have...and I'm not old...or a man. Hmmm.

3. I love fall best of all the seasons.

4. I detest talking on the phone, except to Rob, my mom, and my brothers. So don't call me. :)

5. I'm not a typical female in that I'm a dreadful multi-tasker. :(

6. I know nothing about history. I really wish I would have listened better in school. I'm one of those people you would laugh at on a game show because your first grader knows more than I do.

7. I have the smartest husband ever. Seriously. And he's also pretty nice, and grows a mighty fine beard. I know every man is jealous. :)

in case you were wondering...

~i am so excited to be having another girl, and i've already been shopping too much, even though i have an attic full of girl clothes from marlee

~i'm craving a la rockita veggie burrito, with green salsa and lime

~lately i've been loving fish tacos, and everyone i tell this to thinks i'm disgusting :)

~i like to blame everything on being pregnant...forgetfulness, moodiness, unmotivation, and anything else that's convenient at the time

~i still throw up almost every time i eat fruit, and it really sucks because fruit is one thing that always sounds so good :(

~i hate the fact that everyone warns you about the "terrible twos" and then fails to mention that (at least in the case of my kids) it gets progressively worse with "throwing a fit threes", and "fighting fours"

~mostly im just really sick of marlee arguing with everything i say no matter what it is

~i made blackberry pie and blackberry cobbler yesterday, because they are robs favorite

Funny faces, bay front, and the beach. That's all.

So I said "make funny faces" and they did. They are such good listeners! I especially love owens folded over ear in the first one. :)

Just watching a little olympics with dad. Pretty serious stuff.
But not so serious that you can't stop and smile for a picture...
...as long as you get right back to it!
A little Newport Old Bay Front. Had to stop and look at some seals. (Sorry...no picture)

A little foggy, but not so bad we couldn't all play on the beach!


Oops, a couple more from the bay front.

Marlee helped Nammer pick out this rock.
Awww!

A crack only a mother could...um...love.
They really do love each other! :)

Yep, I was there too.
Soooo fun to run away from the ocean!!!!
Also fun: throwing rocks into the ocean.
I just wanted to see if I could try out one of those neat "jumping on the beach" pictures. I was pretty excited to get the "tongue hanging out of mouth while jumping on the beach" shot! Bonus!!!

We had such a fun day, and all after checking the weather online and expecting it to be pouring and thunder storming all day. What do they know anyway? :)
