The Denton Family of four is expecting one more!

So Friday, April 25th I went out to Jamie and Keith's house (Brad's sister and brother-in-law) and took some really neat pictures of them including some pregnancy shots of Jamie, because as most of you know she is pregnant and is due some time end of June or early July. So here is one of the pictures I wanted to share with you all. We took the pictures to use for her baby shower invitation inspired by my wedding photo invitations. (Shantell took those though, and I can no where do what she does but these will work for now) :)

Jamie is doing well, she has those days, but all expectant mothers have their ups and downs though. She is doing wonderful and taking each day as it comes. Now if we could just get her to decide on the name for the new baby "D".

Love ya'll - Liz

Cosmetology or BUST!

So, today after I left work I scurried over to Ogle Hurst and took the plunge. I registered for school. Working on my financial aid papers now so keep your fingers crossed because this is something I have wanted for so long. Its so reassuring every time I go in there for one reason or another. Kind of reminds me over again how badly I want this career choice. Its scary, yes, but with so many positive people cheering me on and with God on my side I'm certain I can do it. Thanks to everyone who has really encouraged me to do what I have always wanted. Thanks to my life partner and soul mate for taking this plunge with me. I know you are just as scared as I am at the drastic change, but you believe in me and thats enough for both of us. I love you with all that I am and all that I have.

Kendall Paige

Stacy and Brandon welcomed Kendall into the world Tuesday, April 8th at about 1:15pm. It was a rough experience for Stacy but I have to say she is a trooper! She went in with an expectation of child birth and came out it with an experience she never expected. Never having had any type of surgery before her only option which was safest to her health and Kendall's health was to have a C-section completely under anesthetic. I can only imagine what this experience was like for her but Brad and I are so happy that everything turned out great. Kendall is a healthy 5 lbs 4 oz and 17 inches long. She has allot of Brandon's facial features but I can tell she will be just like a little mini Stacy already. Mommy is doing great and we hope for a full healthy recovery from her surgery. If there is anything either of you need just reach out to Brad and I, we are here for you both. I will post some pictures when I have some.

God bless this child and both of her parents!

About our blog...

Hello to everyone reading this:

I have decided to set up a blog for Brad and I just to keep everyone in touch with what's going on in our lives. We have so many friends and family that we dont get to see on a regular basis so this is just for you. As the 1st entry says, this is our blog from this day forward.

As new stuff in our lives unfold we will update the blog daily, well it will be managed by Liz, but as new stuff unfolds we will post news and updates as they happen. Currently in our lives, we found out that Brad will be starting a new schedule in August. The dept has approved 12 hr shifts. Although, this will very tiring for Brad to work such long hours per day the upside is that he will now be off on Saturdays. Yay! The schedule that we have discussed together is preferably 7pm-7am. Yes thats the deep nights shift, but in order to have Saturdays off we'll take it. His new days off will be Thurs, Fri, and Saturday with every other Sunday.

As for me, nothing new right now. Just getting ready for all the new babies this year. One of my close friends is due this Tuesday, April 8th. Unless Kendall comes on her own this weekend before. I wish her the best of luck and my prayers will be with her and Kendall as Stacy and Brandon welcome her into the world. My cousin and his wife, Chris and Tha, are welcoming a new baby girl Ana Julia sometime around May 16th. This is Tha's 1st and Chris' second child. I wish them the best as well. To top it off, the Denton family, my sister-in-law Jamie is due mid June and Brad and I both are estatic to be another Aunt and Uncle to another precious baby girl...name is TBD but it seems as though the favorite is Lily Faith. Anywho, it will be great to welcome another niece into this world too. Last, but certainly not least, Lindsey Hobbs and Vanessa Aleksines we think about you and your little ones too. Cant wait to meet all of our 2008 babies!!! To change the subject, I will be going sometime this month around the 15th of April to register for Ogle Hair School. Its a dream I have always had and now seems like the perfect time for me to achieve that dream. Check back because I will have updates and follow ups on that as well.

In closing, feel free to leave us comments on our blogs. We know that you like to hear from us but the feeling is mutual. We like to hear from you too!

Love all,
Liz and Brad

From this day forward...

When your heart is hungry promise to let me be the one to fulfill that craving.
When your eyes are weary from watching over me night while I’m sleeping in your arms,
Promise me when you drift off to sleep it’s me you see in those dreams.

It’s all been said before, but now I know first hand
Love is the frailest thing but still strong enough to sweep my feet of this ground which I stand.
Forever is in your eyes so promise me you’ll keep them open for me
From this day forward...
