.....GIRL!!!! Can you believe it? I feel like I'm lying every time I tell someone the baby is a girl. I have yet to wrap my head around it! Larry is the happiest daddy in the world today.
God is so good!! Larry was given a raise today...the first in 8 years!!! His company didn't even know we were expecting another child. The Lord and His timing.....!!!!
I'll try to think of more to say later when I'm not in a state of shock!
Love to all!

AHHHH Summer has arrived....I LOVE IT!!!
Well friends, I am still alive and kickin! Oh, that's the baby kickin, I'm dragging!
Here is a little update on our life...I am feeling a little better with the nausea! Yeah! I try to keep comparing each day to about a month ago and things are better. I am still EXTREMELY exhausted. I can't get enough sleep!!! (Like every mother out there!) My belly (and other things) are growing at a very fast pace. I'm a little worried about my size in the future!! Larry is doing a little better with the baby idea...he is working himself to death so he doesn't have to think about it! For those who know Larry, he is a little stressed at the moment. He only "wanted" 1, maybe 2 kids at the max....NOT 4!! We are still making the BIG curve in our thinking! Thank you everyone who has been praying for us. IT IS BEEN FELT ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION!!!! Please keep them coming!!!
On June 24th, hopefully we will find out the sex of the baby. I'm not feeling either way at the moment. Larry says it will be worth it if it is a girl.....what is he thinking????? I'm kinda in the boy mode again...then again look at Sams' track record!!!
Speaking of Larry, he has been very busy with his full time job and his side job of cabinet building is going beautifully. Check out his blog at www.woodworksbysams.blogspot.com
you can see some beautiful pics. He working tonight on the last little touch ups. He'll post the final product soon. He has more jobs in the waiting. Please pray that the Lord will continue to bless this work as HE chooses! I am VERY proud of Larry and stepping out and making a passion of wood working a reality! I think you will like what you see!
The boys are doing great. Steven is finished with 1st grade!!!! We are still praying about what the Lord's will is for this next year with 2 being in school and 2 year old and a baby in November! We are definitely needing some direction!
Thanks for checking up on me!

Spring Brings New Life......
My dear blogger friends....
I have deeply missed sharing with you for the past couple months. It has been crazy around our house for many different reasons. I'll start with the BIGGEST reason. We are expecting our 4th child on November 9, 2008.......I'll pause a moment so that everyone can take a deep breath and exhale. As many of you know, we (Larry and I) were done having children after our second little boy, then 3 years later we were surprised and blessed with our 3rd son. So to say the least we have NOT been very happy with this latest news. I know what half of you are saying and gasping..."I can't believe that someone would feel that way about a blessing from God!!" Well we are being honest...We KNOW that this baby is a gift from our Heavenly Father and we are going to love him as much as the other three, and he is going to do great things toward the Kingdom of Heaven...Yeah, Yeah, its in our heads and it will eventually get to our hearts. For me, it passes the nausea and STOPS!!! Maybe I'll feel different when I can once again see straight! My family and friends have been very supportive in helping us in many ways. From providing childcare, food and scriptures and promises from God that we can quote when we are not feeling the best. Everyone has been very nice and letting us "muddle" in our stupidity for a while! Larry was out of town last week for the Masters in Augusta, GA. He was the top computer support for the whole week. He had all access pass just like the members. He had the BEST time!!! But most of all, he got rave reviews for the club and his company. They want him back for next year. They said that this was the smoothest year in a long time, thanks to him. He even got to watch Tiger on a few holes, and VJ Sing (sp?) gave him his game ball from Thursday!!! He enjoyed hop knobbing with the big name in golf. Even a hand shake and short conversation with Arnold Palmer!! I'm sure your husbands will be more impressed with this than many of you. Larry is also very busy finishing up a big cabinet job and works long hours into the night trying to make everything perfect. I'll post pics of the final results. We are also very busy with Steven and Carson both playing Spring baseball. This is Carson's first year and he is the cutest ever. Steven has played since he was 4 and is a natural! He has alot of talent and we are very proud of him. The other day Carson asked him if he loved baseball and Steven said "NO, I just like it!!!" He is sooo much like his father! Since Daddy has been to the Masters, the two oldest boys have decided they want golf lessons next. Yeah, right! I have no time as it is (or money)! We have only 20 more school days to finish up!!!!! We will continue to work on things during the summer just at a more relaxed pace. I am very proud of Steven and the things he has learned this year and his ability to retain knowledge. Pray for us as we have decisions regarding next year and two boys in school. (and a baby on the way...HELP!!) The Lord will provide the his grace when needed! Thanks for reading my ramblings and sorry it has been so long. I can't promise that it might take a while f0r another post! We covet your prayers and we accept our new family "picture"!
Love,
Marty

BIRTHDAYS!
My dear friends, I am still alive and in my right mind. (That is still up for debate! I did pinch myself so part of that comment is correct!)
January is full of birthdays at our house. Steven turned 7 on the first and Carson turned 5 on the 20th! Peytons is coming up with the BIG #2 on the 22nd of Feb.! I will try to share a few cute photos from the big days! Steven had friends over for a BeeBee Gun Party. They all went down to the creek and shot his new "old" gun that Papa gave him for his birthday. He is huge into GI Joe right now so he was happy with a homemade cake! 
Carson wanted to have his little friends over to jump on his new "old" trampoline. He is still loving CARS, so his theme was based on that, therefore, the CARS cake. He finnally realized the CARS was part of his name! 
Here is my little mini me! Although he looks like me, he asks just like his Gramps Sams
!
!I will try to get pictures of Peyton's B-day out sooner! Thank you for everyone who has been checking up on me! I am loving hearing from some old friends! Keep the comments flowing! Love to all!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!!
..
I pray that everyone had a Christ filled day yesterday! Our household was truly blessed with 3 happy boys and two excited parents. Larry and I love Christmas as much as the boys! We spent the weekend in GA with my parents and family. We had a fantastic time! I've posted some pictures to highlight our weekend.
Susan is very talented in many areas and once again she proved that her name should have been Martha! The grandsons loved having a red nose reindeer cake. Steven and Carson were very pleased to "hunt" up the antlers in the yard.
On Saturday, we all went to a friends cabin in the woods. We had a huge fire, roasted marshmellows, hiked, laughed, a game of capture the flag (in which the ladies WON!!), cooked hot dogs etc... Here is a picture of the boys playing very hard.
This is a beautiful family photo...Ha! We took a hike and sang Christmas songs to the cars that pasted! (We had a few weird looks!) I'm sure that I will get a few comments from those in the picture!
A few final snapshots...this is my newphew Colton. He is one of the cutest baby's ever!! I know that you will agree. Sorry about him "laying" sideways...he's tired!Ha!
Merry Christmas from our house to yours!! I think Steven is singing my praises for posting this picture! Be sure to check out Peyton's mismatched PJ's! He's a classic! Hope you enjoyed a picture of our holiday season. Oh, I failed to mention that we returned home from GA on Christmas Eve to attend Family Communion at church and enjoyed a fabulous day at our home together! I'll try to share a Christmas miricle on a later post! Thank you to all that sent Christmas greetings... we will try to pray for each one as the cards are put away after the season!

Hopefully you can see we do clean up nicely in this next photo. This was taken on Sunday after Colton Ross Hunt baby dedication. It was a beautiful service!
Here is a photo of the original Scarbrough family...
The grandsons...this picture was fun to capture!
I'll take a side note here on this next picture...I have been concerned about our dear friend Viola. She, like myself, has not been blogging as of late. This has had me and my sisters baffled until we came across her memorial. It was located in the hill of North GA in a cabin way up in the woods. I'm so sorry to say that it appears that she has been laid to rest. I do truly hope that we are mistaken, so if anyone has any information...please let me know!
