It's a Girl!!!!

We could not wait for our next doctor's appointment, so we splurged and went to Baby Dimensions here in Newnan to find out that we are having a baby girl! I am so excited! McKinley is not to sure about a little girl, he keeps saying that he really wants a boy instead. Hopefully he will change his mind. I was 100% sure that this baby was a boy, and am beside myself with the thought of pink!!!!!
This is not the best picture, but the view is looking at her from the bottom up. Her legs are pulled up and those are the little spots at the top. It is kind of hard to tell in the picture, but we could see it really well on the tv screen. She was not very cooperative and kept moving for the picture!
Here is the first official head shot of our little girl....
Marley Ann!
(she has her little hand up to her face....so sweet!)

She kind of looks like an alien......but she is the most precious little alien that I have ever seen!

Moving on up....to a new room!

With the new baby on the way, we decided it was time to move McKinley to a new big boy/brother room. I started this project over a month ago, but it was very slow going. Finally it all came together this weekend. Aunt Tammy and Aunt Holly came over Friday night to help paint. The new furniture was delivered Saturday afternoon and we finished up moving his stuff into his new room Sunday afternoon. Here he is tucked into his new big bed. He told me that he loved his new room "it is perfect"

Fun at the Fair......Twice!

The fair is here in town and we went.....twice! This is McKinley's 3rd year going to the fair, but the first year that he really enjoyed it! McKinley and I decided to go opening night since Andy had to work the fair and we didn't have anything else to do. He wanted to ride EVERYTHING....especially the Ferris Wheel and was very mad that he was not old enough. He was especially persistant on riding the dragon "train". I tried to tell him that it was not a train, but a roller coaster. He would not listen to me and wanted to ride anyway. He was a little scared about getting on by himself, but luckily one of my students from school was there and offered to ride with him. I love his face in this picture. He was scared to death. Everytime the ride would pass me, he would scream "Stop the train.....this train in crazy!" He did much better on the more stationary rides......





Saturday night we went back to the fair to see the Lumberjack competition. (our neighbor was competing....he won the last 2 years and took home the title again)
Here is Scott and McKinley watching the events.
Not only did we meet up with Holly, Scott and the twins....we also met up with Uncle Brian!

The kids had loads of fun riding the rides and playing games.


Yes, McKinley had to ride the dragon train again!


What is a trip to the fair without some yummy cotton candy.
I love this picture....the twins will eat anything.....here they are chomping down on lemons!
