Bringing home our new sweet Brinley Su! Isn't she the cutest thing you've ever seen?

She's Finally Here!

The Happiest Day of 2006 finally Arrived! Sept 26, 2006! I was induced Monday morning, but she didn't finally come til tuesday! Here's the Stats!

6 lbs 10 oz
19 1/2 inches long

She's So BEAUTIFUL, and looks JUST LIKE Holley! We are so glad that she's here! She's already brought so much new Joy to our lives! I'm trying to enjoy every moment of this short time that she's so teeny and new! Why do they have to grow so fast?

Lady in Waiting!

Less than 2 weeks til my due date, and technically "full term" This baby could come any day now! Hopefully it'll be soon and this will be the last picture you'll see of this pregnancy! My Doctor said he will schedule to induce me if I don't go on my own before my due date So it shouldn't be more than 2 weeks from now! If this baby is like her sister though, she'll stay in there as long as she can. Either way, my next post should be baby pictures, So stay tuned!!!!

One Month left!

One month to go! I sure am getting anxious and feeling big! Almost every day Holley says, "Mommy it is TOO LONG for my baby sister to come!" I think she's a little anxious too! It's amazing that the time is actually so close, but it's felling pretty far away! We are so excited to have this little girl here with our family! We'll keep you posted, and try to get pictures up soon after her arrival!

More Cute pictures of Holley sleeping!

I So love that she can fall asleep like this! She cracks me up!

Pictures from our trip to Utah!

Holley thought that the fish she caught was a little stinky!

We couldn't resist this one!

Holley fell asleep while cuddling her mommy and her sister. (notice her hand is on my belly.) She was sitting with me and feeling the baby move and then fell asleep! I love these moments!!!! Holley is still really excited for the baby to come! We can't believe that it actually won't be too much longer now! We feel so blessed. Holley still tells everyone that the baby's middle name is going to be Sparkly. We may just have to let her think it is for a couple of years, cause she REALLY likes that name! She also has an invisible friend by the same name! Our summer seems to have gone by relatively quickly. (Considering how long I thought it would seem) We're headed to Utah for 2 weeks, and then Derek starts teaching again on August 14th. It's been a nice Summer but I can't wait for September and Baby to be here!

Our new babies!

We've had two little baby cottontails living right outside our front door. They've been a lot of fun to watch and they are so cute to look at! They aren't any longer than about 3 inches each! That pipe coming out of the wall in the picture is about 2 inches across to give you a better idea of how small they are! We've even found them actually on our front porch trying to find some shade. We feel lucky that their parents picked our front yard as a home.

Derek's new fishing Buddy!

Derek's already training Holley up to be his fishing buddy! We took a camping trip to Alpine, and Derek took Holley out fishing with him, so Tara could enjoy quiet time at camp with a magazine. As he moved down stream he'd pick her up and find her another rock to sit on and spash her feet in. She also stayed entertained by using his net to catch any leaves that came floating by. She thought it was great fun.

3 months left!

Here are the latest Belly pictures! We're finally to the last trimester! YIPPEE!!! Holley took this one herself! She loves to play with the Camera!
Holley thinks mommy's big belly is fascinating!

Crazy Holley!

Here are some of Holley's latest and greatest! She's such a sweet little goofball!

San Diego Pictures!

Here are a ton of pictures of our San Diego trip. Sorry there are so many, but we got the pictures off of everyone else's cameras on a disc, so we had a LOT of good ones! It was a real fun trip, and Holley's now saying she wants to go back to our "home at the beach." Holley LOVED the dolphins at Sea World, and is so glad that she got to feed them and pet them! It was so great that everyone was able to go so Holley could see all the Mayhue cousins, Aunts and Uncles and Grandma and Grandpa! Thanks Tiff and Brian for organizing and inviting us all on such a GREAT family vacation!

Holley's first experience with the OCEAN!

We walked down to the beach the 2nd night to let the kids see the ocean. Holley didn't seem to like the water on her feet (it was a little cold) and it really scared her at first, then Grandma showed her and Parker how to chase the waves out and then run away from them as they come in and try not to get wet! Needless to say Tiff and I got roped into the game too! It was a lot of fun!

Sea World

The legendary STOMPING OF THE CARROT! Man that kept the kids entertained for quite a few minutes!
