A dream come true!

Little Francesca is growing and changing every day. I love having a daughter soooo much!

Here she is the day we brought her home from the hospital. I painted her fingernails and toenails pink just for the occasion.

At the hospital before delivery I was so excited but still in disbelief that I was having girl. I had to ask the doctor and a nurse and Justin after I had her to make sure it was a girl. I just couldn't believe I could be so lucky! I kept looking at the "It's a girl" sign and pinching myself to make sure it wasn't a dream.

Here I am at the hospital just a few hours before having her dreaming of having a girl.

I have dreamed of having a little girl for as long as I can remember. Here I am at age one. The coolest part about this picture is I still have that dress! I can dress Francesca in it once she gets big enough. Yay!

My dream of having a little girl was ever greater once my darling older sister started having girls. She had three girls right in a row before I got mine. Here we are with her adorable little daughters Savannah and Marissa. My dream came true. I am the luckiest mommy in the world. Yay for girls! And Francesca I love you so much!!!

Francesca Betty Furr is born!

So here's the new baby girl! She's so beautiful; the boys love her already, I can tell. We're excited to have this new addition to our family. Here's a picture of when the boys came to visit in the hospital:

I'm only posting one picture now because they must throttle down the bandwidth for the hospital's guest wireless access, and uploading photos from here is a pain. We will definitely post another blog entry with more newborn pictures of her. I also have a new Facebook album with newborn pictures of her if you're interested.

She has a little bit of everyone in her! She looks like a feminine version of Michael or Wesley, and has some of mommy's features. I think she has my nose. ;)

Spring has Sprung

Yay!

The fact that it might be any minute now that Wesley and Michael will not be my only kids has hit me hard this past week. So I have tried to take advantage of the time and spend as much quality time with them as possible.

Here is my hot stuff husband on his scooter, the delta flyer. Yay for saving on gas and having a sweet fun ride. And also yay for him being done with all his finals. Poo for him having to start summer semester on wednesday.

Here is one of the painting projects I have been working on. I painted this table and chairs set sky blue/aqua and cardinal red and mod podged those adorable vintage retro papers on the top.
The boys love it.

And here the cuties are now enjoying the sunshiney days we have been getting. Yay!

Michael was trying to help Justin with the yard work. I think he knows he's going to be a big brother to a little sister soon and is trying to be an extra good helper.

And there's my hottie now taking care of the yard. It looks great honey bunches. Thank you.

One of my other projects was getting the babies room all ready. I painted and organized and am so excited to show her! Come already, Francy!

She is going to be one loved little princess.

Once she gets here. If she ever gets here. Just kidding. She's coming soon. Pictures and announcements coming soon, I promise. Stay tuned.

Friends Forever

Last weekend me and some friends from high school got together in Salt Lake City for some much needed girl time. It had been almost 5 years since we had all been together but after a few minutes it felt just like old times. It was fabulous! And I got the most adorable zebra print dress for the baby that I have ever seen. It was fun to see everybody and catch up on their lives. Thanks for the good time, girls! You rock!

Baby Stella, Easter, Dino Museum

Michelangelo and Wesley got a new cousin recently, her name is Stella Lillie. My sister-in-law Erin welcomed her into the world just a few days before Easter. She is such a tiny little beautiful little babe! I am so excited to get to know her better.

Justin is so sweet with her! I just love it!

Here is Justin teaching the boys how to be gentle with little babies. They got a little preview of what it might be like to have a new baby in our home. Wesley just kept wanting to sit by her and Michael kept saying "Ohhhhhhhh." It was funny. Erin is an awesome mom! Look how great she looks less than a week after giving birth. Amazing!

And here is baby Stella at just a week old. I can't believe how much they can change and grow in so little time.

Here we are celebrating Easter. We attended the ward Easter Party and Egg Hunt and the boys loved it.

Wesley was satisfied in finding one egg after he discovered the candy inside.

Michael, on the other hand wanted as many as he could get his little toddler hands on. And I can't leave out showcasing our yearly tradition of dying hard boiled eggs. I look forward to it every year. One of these years I will get Justin loving it, too.

We also had the chance to go to the Dinosaur Museum at Thanksgiving Point with my playgroup. They have a water/sand activity table that they boys just loved. Michael also discovered a computer to play dinosaur games on. He didn't really know what he was doing, I think he just wanted to look like papa.
And last but not least yes I am still pregnant. My sweet baby girl is still cookin'. I have been working on some last minute projects before the baby comes and that has been a lot of fun. I am a little nervous to be taking care of three little ones three and under at age 23 but am excited as well.
