Most people from college said they never say one of us with out the other! We even got nicknamed Molly and Harnie from one of our friends. I think it was really great growing up with such a close friend. I'm lucky enough to have Ryan as my other best friend now, but their will always be a really close bond between Marnie and I.Thanks for visiting Marnie!!!
Marnie came out to visit over the 4th of July. I got to see her Thursday and Friday on the 7th and 8th!!! It was so good to see her. She moved to Dallas the end of November and I have really been missing my Best Friend! We have grown up together! I never had a sister, but I would claim her as my sister any day!! We have always had each other, so it has really been hard not having her here. She even missed Presley being born. Marn was very excited to finally meet Presley. We had so much fun just catching up.We also went shopping and and good old girl time together. I really hope we can all go visit her sometime soon!
After Presley impressed me with her sitting skills, she got up on her knees and starting rocking. Next she is going to try and crawl!!! Wow. Big girl. :)
I had Presley sitting up between my legs when I realized that she wasn't using me for support. I moved and here she sat for a couple minutes before toppling over! What a big girl! She is five months. Bryn did not sit up till she was over 6 months. I was not expecting this. Don't grow up too fast Presley!
I was trying to get a cute picture of Presley in the tub, but instead got water right in her face. I felt bad. She got water right up the nose. This is why you don't give a bath and take pictures at the same time! :)
Peighton and Ellee came to visit a couple weeks ago. Ellee didn't want her picture taken with these guys, but here is Peighton with Bryn and Presley. I think is is pretty cute! Bryn and Peighton look a lot alike!
What more could a girl ask for? These two are adorable and have my whole heart! I am so very thankful to have these precious girls be mine!
Brynlee had her Dance Recital the end of April. Her Teacher was not very organized this time. (It was a new Teacher) So I really didn't get good shot's of Bryn dancing. She had taller girls in front of her. It was still fun to watch and Presley was dressed cute to watch her big sis.
I was so lucky to get this cute smile from Presley. She was just chilling on my Dad's lap laughing at the ceiling fan. Then she turned to me at just the right moment. My Dad was busy ignoring me. :)I love that smile, it makes my heart melt. These little moments make motherhood so worth it!!All those years of infertility make me appreciate every little thing she does.I got a pretty good laugh today. She had spit up all over herself, so I put her in the tub for a bath. After I placed her on her changing table to dry her off, she sneezed. Not normally a big deal, execpt when she sneezed, it forced some poop to fly out her bum! That girl had some big force behind it. It shot all the way to her closet door! This is something she won't want me to remember, but it really did make me laugh really hard, even while I cleaned up the mess.
Bryn had dance practice today, so we had 2 take a few pictures of how cute she looked. She posed w/ her hand on her hip. Silly girl. What is scary is how grown up my little girl looks!She is such a cutie! I just am so lucky to have my girls! I just wish they didn't grow so fast! I look at her and still can see my little baby Brynlee sometimes. Yesterday Ryan was playing peek a boo with Presley and Brynlee was laughing so hard. It struck the memory of when Brynlee was little and would laugh at her Dad when he played it with her. I'm glad she still thinks Daddy is funny, because I know someday she will not feel that way. I hope that her teenage years she will still need us and not be embarrassed by us too much. We are a lot older than her. Ryan and I were talking about this. We are the same age as our parents were when they stopped having kids, and we are just getting started. So we will be the older parents at all the kids functions! I hope we will still be cool to her! :)
These pictures are always so sad. Presley getting her two month shots. Yeah, this was a few weeks ago, but I'm not on top of my blogging. I can't even find my sticker that tells me exactly how much she had grown, but I remember she weighed 11lbs 3oz and was 23 inches long. But I can't remember percentile. I do know that this little girl's cry makes me want to cry. I love her so much already. Who wouldn't?I do have to say that Brynlee thought this was justice seeing someone else get a shot though. She kept saying I had one too Presley. Which she did back in September!
We blessed Presley on March 27,2011. She was exactly two months old. I had this planned for a while, but the week before my Grandma Denning died at the age of 92. So I didn't know if I should change it. I didn't because of family coming to her blessing, so we had a very emotionally draining weekend. My Grandma's viewing was on Friday, Her funeral on Saturday and the baby blessing on Sunday. I cried a lot that weekend. All good cry's, but still very draining. My Grandma's funeral was beautiful. She lived a very full and long life and I'm so grateful I took Presley for her to see the week before she died. My Grandma left a huge legacy behind. 28Grandchildren and 56Great Grandchildren with 3 more on the way. I always wanted a big family too. I am so lucky that Heavenly Father has listened to our prayers and answered them with these two Beautiful little girls. I still pray that we can add to our family, but I am not ungrateful for what I do have. I love my family. I am so lucky to have Ryan, Brynlee and Presley!!
Me and my Beautiful Girls!
This is my favorite shot of the day. Sweet smile.She started smiling at 5 weeks for me and others on 6 weeks. Now she is smiling a lot. I love it!
I splurged on Presley's cute ruffle butt. Too cute!
Here we are from a Family of three to our new wonderful Family of Four. Brynlee is so cute and keeps counting us. (She makes sure to make herself the number three each time since that is how old she is. ) We are so excited to start this new adventure with Presley in our lives. She had a Doctor apt. yesterday and is already back up to birth weight. She is so precious and I love watching Brynlee explore Presley's little hands and face and hair with her soft hands. She tries to be so careful and you can tell she is happy to be a big sister!
We are not sure who she looks like yet, but we were really surprised at her dark hair. Ryan and I were both toe heads. I got to say that no picture does her justice. You just got to see her in person! She is so cute!
Here is my Beautiful new daughter Presley Noel. She weighed in at 7lbs 6oz and only 20inches long. A lot smaller than her big sister. She also has really dark hair and her eyes are already a darker blue. So they may go brown like mine. She is so precious and we are so overjoyed to have her in our family.Ryan won the name game. He would not give in to my favorite name of Addalyn. So she is Presley and I love her no matter what her name is. :)I am so happy to be a mommy again. She is just wonderful. She is a good nurser who made my milk come in on night two of her birth. We are so excited to get to know her personality and see how she changes. We love her so much! I really love the soft side of Ryan babies bring out in him. He turns to mush and it is so adorable!
I realized today I haven't gotten any shots lately of my enormous belly. So I decided with the recent talk of my Doctor moving my date back to the 27th of January, that I better get on that! Yep, Doctor Oldroyd said he is feeling up to it, so yesterday they called me and told me he wants to do my c-section on Jan 27th when I am 39 weeks along!!!! I am so excited and so grateful for prayers! This has been such a long journey to get this little girl here. We began this process way back in December 2009. We have had many ups and downs, but they are all worth it. Yes, she still doesn't have a name, but we are ready for her to come join our family!

My cute little baby girl is growing fast! She is already four months old as of yesterday!!! She got to go to the Doctor for her check up and is now 14pounds 4.5 oz. and is 25 and 3/4inches long. He said she is in the 95th percentile for height, 70th for weight and 50th for her head. She is healthy and growing like she should be. She can roll over now and she reaches for things. She jabbers all the time too. It is so cute. We love her so much. It is amazing how quickly your life changes and how you really can't remember what it was like with out these little precious babies in your life! 
I just have to say, my girls have the best Daddy! Ryan loves to do things with them both. (not so much diapers, but fun stuff)
My Dad is always a good sport, so I got him this great hat to wear on his B-day. We had a fun party in his backyard. We even got his Sister, Aunt and Cousin to drive out from Virginia for the party. The grand-kids liked helping with the presents. We had lots of friends and Family over too. It just happened to be a beautiful day too! The day before it rained all day and the day after the wind would have blown us all away! 
Peighton and Ellee came to visit a couple weeks ago. Ellee didn't want her picture taken with these guys, but here is Peighton with Bryn and Presley. I think is is pretty cute! Bryn and Peighton look a lot alike!
