.....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!
Marty
Steven's Cowboy Day at School
Giddy Up!
Howdy Ladies!
Another Sams heartbreaker!!
Easter Sunday!
I had to work so Larry brought the boys by the Nursery for me to see. How handsome they were!!!
Train Ride
Peyton and Mommy riding the train at Sunni's birthday party!
Strawberrry Picking? Or Eating?
Peyton ate more than he contributed to the basket. By the time we were done, his yellow shirt was RED! But well worth it!
A big helper!
Carson did a great job in picking strawberries....he did eat a "few" thou!
Taking a rest!
Steven was the KING at perfect strawberries! He helped everyone find the best ones. He did a great job!
Our Friends
Melissa, Cadon and baby Jacob went along on our field trip. Cadon is a 10 older than Carson and Jacob is 4 months to the day younger than Peyton. Melissa and I have been friends for over 10 years now. How time flys!
My Fantastic Friend!
Cyndi and I have been friends for 10 years. She and I work together at the hospital. She has also helped deliver all three of my boys. She is like a sister to me...and to my sisters!
Larry's Cabinets
Larry has built cabinets for a local university's sport medicine center. These are the final two cabinets. He has done an amazing job! I am soo proud of him. I told him I have a few I want him to make for me...
Playing at the Park
Carson loved burying his feet in the cool sand!
The Elephants!
The boys were in Awe! Poor Peyton was trying his best to see over the bushes! He kept saying, "Wolf, Wolf?"
The WILD Bear....
Steven and Carson loved this statue of the bear!
Tree Hugger?
Carson was trying to be a monkey on a tree and I capture this adorable photo!
Tree Climbing?
Again, my boys do go look at the animals they go do what the animals do...climb trees like the Gorillas!
Juicey Strawberries!
Here is a picture of the strawberries I picked today. I try to photo the jam when complete to show the end result. UMMMM!
One Happy Cowboy
Peyton riding the horse Uncle Tim gave the boys for Christmas. Thanks Tim they love it!
My precious baby!
After work on Easter, I met Larry and the boys at some friends house for dinner. Peyton was loving watching the children and their dogs, Max and Molly, playing in the back yard. I love seeing his reflection in the glass!

WHOOPEE!!!! WE ARE ALL EXCITED!
YEAH!!!!!!!!! I am so happy for you and Larry. See, good things come in surprise packages as well.:):)Congrats to Larry on his raise at work. Isn't God good?!!! How exciting to hear what He is doing in your lives. Can't wait to hear more from you. Much Love, Valerie
I am soooooo excited about this little girl. I just know she will as cute as a button! Just think, while you all were struggling emotionally God had the blessing of a raise just waiting for the right day to reveal it! God's clock keeps perfect time. Love ya bunches!
Congrats and Congrats!!!! How very very exciting! Girls are very fun! So happy for Larry. God is so good!
Congratulations!!!!!!
Ohh...Marty...I am so with you on the wrapping your head around having a girl!! After 3 boys...I thought no way!! I don't think it really sunk in until she had been here for a little while, but I had no idea what I was missing!! Congratulations!!
Awesome!! That's so neat. Won't she be so blessed to have three big brothers looking after her? ;o) 18 years from now, that could come in really handy...
YIPPEEEE! I am SOOOO happy for ya'll. What an exciting time for your family, and what an amazing boost for your faith when God remembers you in this way. Praise His Name!
Much love and Congratulations.
Congratulations! How exciting!
Congratulations Marty!!! God is good
Girls are fun, just tell Larry to hide his wallet:)
Finally! I am not trying till I get a girl. i would be like Phil's Mom and end up with 6 boys. @ is enough for me. Besides I am getting old. lol We are happy for you. Jane
Fun! Fun! Fun!!!
Yeah! You're going to love having a lil' gal around!!
Yay for a girl! So happy for you all. And isn't that just like the Lord? Kinda makes you think He knows what He's doing. Hmmmmm. :) Love ya!
Guess you guys figured it out, Harold and I never did. Congratulations! I am very happy for you.
Congrats Marty. Now as a girl with three big brothers here are some helpful phrases you will need to memorize and say daily once she is born.
"Boy, don't hit your sister, she's a lady!"
"_________(insert girls name) stop your screaming, screaming is for help" (I never figured out why being tied into a human pretzel wasn't a legitimate reason to scream for help, but whatever!)
"Boys, don't speak so rudely on the phone." (this is after they answer the phone and realize a boy wants to speak to their sister. They usually say something like, "why do want to talk to her? Don't ever call here again you twirp") And we wonder why I never dated.
Speaking of dating, my first date came to the door and I overheard one brother say, "If you touch her I will kill you." So you may want to lock your boys up on your little girl's first date.
"Boys, watch your sister, if anyone messes with her slug em!" (Ok, Mom never actually said this, but they got the idea somewhere, cause I can still see Steve Foss being knock off his bike by a punch in the nose because he locked me in a phone booth and teased me for wearing dresses.) :)
Anyway, I'm so happy for you. Tell, Sammy that he's going to have a little Jube Jube and see if he's still so excited. :)
Today there have been personal reminders of God's faithfulness and then reading your blog was an external reminder of his faithfulness. Congratulations! Give Larry a hug for me!
I am so happy and excited for you!! It was so fun to see you in Alabama.
Oh, Marty, I am so excited for you! From having one girl, I know you will LOVE it!!
I'm still surprised that we are having another girl after four boys...it's beginnning to sink in as I get pink stuff ready, but I think I will have to see it to really believe it! Robb said the other day that since God decided to surprise us with this one, it was really nice for Him to break things up a bit!
Hope your feeling good now...praying that you can enjoy these days!
Julie
oh....congratulations!!! The little princess is in danger of being spoiled...but that's ok! ;-) look at my blog for our new news... Have a great day!
I can barely hold back the tears. Isn't that just like our God! What a faith booster! Thanks for sharing!
Btw...Kayla's comment cracks me up!!!!
Yay yay yay!!! I am so excited and again I say yay!!! We have to get together.....
I think that it is time for an update on how you are doing. Besides, we all wnat to see you and your little belly.:)
Hi Martha,
Congratulations again on having a GIRL...It was nice to see you again at the wedding, it was beautiful.
Take Care
So happy for you all! Would love to see some pictures! :-) However, I won't be able to join you in this one. (Remember when we were both pregnant with our first, and we had a "prego" picture at Juwah's wedding?) Again, congratulations!!
November 9th is rapidly approaching. Looking for more updates...maybe a picture. :)
