More Pics of Ella from the Hospital

Best Friends

Olivia told Brodie today, "your my best friend."  I cried.  I love having a family.

Walk at Greenough Park

July 17th we decided to go on a stroll at Greenough Park with the new little one. She loved the fresh air and so did big sister Olivia.  She rode her cute little tricycle all over. Fun, fun, fun. 

New Sister Bike Ride

The day we got home from the hospital with baby Ella Brodie thought it would be fun to share the wonderful news about our new baby girl.  So he went out bought a couple balloons that said "It's a Girl", strapped them to Olivia's tricycle and went for a ride. They wanted to tell people about it but it was a Saturday and no one was around.  He even had bought little "it's a girl" mints too but had no one to pass them out to.  I swear he is the cutest man ever.  How many guys do stuff like that.  I love him. I think it was kind of his way of passing out cigars in celebration. 

  Anyway, since they had no luck with the ride around the block he decided to take them to church and Olivia got to pass them out to her friends in Nursery.  One mother told me that when her daughter came home she said, "Olivia's mom popped out a baby!"  I guess those mints helped make an impression. 

Baby Ella

Ella Grace Hanni was born July 8th, 2011.  She was 7lbs 10oz. Born at 10:10 am.  She was healthy and gave us some good screams for a few hours after she was born.  She is beautiful and we love her.

Family Pictures, Olivia

New baby Cole

Kristin went in to the hospital last night at 6pm to get induced. She was 1 day past her due date and was ready to meet her baby boy. Cole James Edington was born this morning Monday May 16th at 5:12am. From the picture they texted us of Cole on the scale it looks like he was 8 lbs 4 oz. We haven't heard much else except her epidural quite working at the end and so she was in a lot of pain.

We are so excited for them! They have been waiting awhile for little Cole to join their family and we are so glad he finally decided to come down! I can't wait to meet the little guy!

Just a Teaser

So I know a few of you have been dying for updated pictures of our little one so here is a little teaser until I get more time to add a few more.  Hope it makes your smile!

Super Busy

So let me explain why it is St. Patricks day and we haven't posted since Halloween, well, we have be busy, and I mean busy.

Brodie's work has gone into overdrive.  Thanks to Obama and our government Hughes Net has received some money from the Recovery Act.  Thus making signing up for Hughes Net all too irresistible for so many people out there.  People need to qualify for the program but many have and so Brodie has been super busy with work.  We are truly grateful for the work he has had but I know Brodie is tired.  He has been working 6 days a week installing 3 jobs almost everyday.  And this started in November.  That is 4 months straight of working his butt off and being gone often.  It also means I have to pick up the slack of him being gone.  I have started scheduling all of his jobs, printing paperwork, faxing paperwork, updating jobs, and everything other thing he has no time for.  Needless to say it would be nice to have a vacation.  Unfortunately that won't happen for awhile so onward we go.  We are going to work hard until it slows down or Brodie has a mental breakdown (we can only hope for the first.)

On top of our crazy busyness we had the holidays where Olivia and I went to Cali to see the family for 3 weeks (which was super fun.)  After we got back we found a new place to live and decided to move into a bigger place, a house (which we love).  Now that I think about it that was kind of crazy.  Luckily we had a month to slowly move everything and we has some help from friends.  I had to pack and move everything small over by myself.  Olivia and I would take our daily moving trip.  Then at the end of the month some friends came and helped us move the big stuff.  After I had to unpack everything by myself while Brodie kept on working.  It was crazy but we love our new house.  We have a garage, 3 bedrooms (one for the new baby), its in a better neighborhood and we have alot more space.

One more thing to add to the fun is that I am pregnant.  Stress and moving don't usually bode well with pregnant women but I think I have done pretty well.  Especially after the vomiting had stopped.

Recently things have calmed down a little bit but Brodie is still working hard.  I really appreciate how hard he works.

Besides that Olivia has been taken along for the ride.  She has been great and is getting big.  I will try to update you on her next.

Life is crazy but good.
