Surprise!

Kenny came home from work yesterday w/ these beautiful roses! Yellow & peach, they are so pretty! I just love surprises.

Settling in

It's been almost 5 weeks since Marshall joined our family and we seem to be adjusted pretty well. I, of course, am still trying to get used to being up in the middle of the night and hope that that will be coming to an end in the next 2 months or so! What do you do when you finally get your newborn to sleep at 6:45 am and then your toddler is up at 7:15 am? Those are the days of morning cartoons in the highchair and mom not getting out of her pj's until almost dinner! If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to share! You just have to laugh and try to enjoy your babies as much as you can and hope your husband knows that you won't always look like death when he comes home.
Here are some recent pics of my boys. Burkley loves to hold Marshall and give him what he thinks a kiss is. He calls him his "baby bb-bb" and it's really cute!

Update

My brother Richard is serving in Iraq and will be returning home to Hawaii in August to get married to his fiance Bri. They met in Hawaii where they are both stationed. We are so excited to welcome her into our family!

My two little guys!
I just love these "first moments" pictures.

Burkley loves his bath robe. He thinks he's a boxer or something as he runs around after each bath!

Happy Father's Day!

Just wanted to wish a Happy Father's Day to my dad & my sweetheart! Kenny is the greatest dad and a huge help to me. He loves our kids so much and spends a lot of time playing w/ Burkley now that I have a newborn to take care of.
My dad has become the biggest "softie" since becoming a grandpa! He would do anything for any one of his grandkids from popping pop corn to getting in the pool!

Burkley loves to ride the motorcyle and Kenny would take him for a ride almost everyday

First venture out

Burkley loves the water so we met over at grandma's for some swimming w/ cousins. Thanks for the help Uncle Ryan, the only adult in the pool w/ all the kids.
I swear we didn't plan this! Sam and Burkley get ready to hit the pool at grandma's

Great Grandma Brown meets Marshall

He's here!!

It's been a week since he joined our family and he's already changed so much. Little Marshall was born weighing 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 21 inches long at 12:58 pm Wed. May 28th, 2008, just a day before his grandpa Hunt's birthday. We didn't know who he looked like but can see some resemblances to Burkley's first baby pictures.

Holding down Burkley's arms was the only way we would let him close to the baby. He is a bit too rough and wants to pinch and poke a little too much! And yes he's already smacked him in the face but it didn't faze him one bit. He's already learning to take the abuse from his older brother.

Grandma Secrist came and helped us the first week and was a tremendous help! The first two nights home were really crazy and I was exausted!

Today's the DAY!!

Today is the big day! It seems like we've (I've) been waiting forever for this day to come! We'll have our new little guy around 12:30 pm and it will be fun to see if he looks anything like Kenny or I or even Burkley. We are so blessed to welcome him to the world and to our family. And no we still haven't decided on a name so hopefully we'll have one when we leave the hospital. I'll get a picture posted as soon as I can.
