It is our anniversary today. 12 years. Like the words above our picture say "your everything I never knew I always wanted" this is so true. I never imagined I could be so happy with someone. Clint completes me in so many ways and takes care of me more than I could ever have imagined. I love him so much and we got the best gift ever this year, a new little life to share in our lives together. I love you more than words.

She is here

1:24 p.m.
8 pds 7 oz
We are so excited that little Mylee Jean is finally here. She is so adorable, I can't stop holding her. I want her to stay little. I am still a little bit in shock that she weighed so much. My others weighed 7'10, 7' 8, 7' 9, and 6'9. I don't know where she came from. And of course it had to be the one that I chose to have with no epidural. That in itself is a whole other story. I am glad I done it but still can't talk about it to much.
Proud Dad
just me and Mylee
The crew had to come and check her out they were so excited. They had a lot of questions some good and some not so good, like mom why do you still look pregnant, that makes me feel so wonderful:)
While the kids were visiting Dad was so tired he zonked out in the chair for a minute.
Just before we went home I got a few pictures of her, and see that little Binky, well I think we left it there so here we are stuck home with no Binky.
Here we are getting ready to leave. It was kind of sad knowing this is the last time we will do this. But we are very happy to have another little precious baby girl.
I can't believe that we were not going to have any more. I am glad someone else knew we had another one and sent her, she was an answer to my silent prayers.
who does she look like? I don't know yet, hopefully I can have a little bit of credit, I don't have much on the others except maybe Braysyn.
So here she is for those of you that aren't here to see, hold, kiss, smell, and love on her. We will do it for you.

All packed and ready
I think that I have pretty much got everything ready to go. I just have a few more things to get cleaned. I cannot stand to come home to a house that is not clean. Clint still needs to get the crib set up and the new little bouncer that I got. I am scheduled to go in at 1 a.m. on Friday morning, so we will go to Cedar on Thursday night. I am really nervous, I feel like I am having my first baby all over again. What am I going to do with a little baby? I hope everything goes okay at delivery, I am opting to go natural with no epidural, Clint is so nervous about that but I think we will make it through. I have to call one hour before to make sure that they have enough room for me, I'm telling you they better, you know how emotional a pregnant woman can be, of course they don't care about that they will just tell me like they did with Austyn when I went in to be induced, They said that they did not have any room for me so don't plan on coming in, I said are you sure, there is no way, they said no I didn't want to let them off the phone until they gave in finally the lady said, Honey I'm sorry it's like the Inn, were full there is no more room in the Inn.
(Those damn women that come in in labor on their own:) ) Anyway I did end up getting in it was just a few hours later than I was scheduled. So enough rambling. That is the plan I hope all goes well.

Finished
I promised that when I got Austyn's quilt done I would put some pictures on. I actually finished it a few weeks ago. I have never been so happy to get something done. He loves it and I think it turned out pretty cool.
Here's a closer look at the detail.
Another shot from the bottom of the bed. So there you have it, now I need to get their walls painted and then I will be done.

pumpkin carving and Halloween
Halloween is a great time of year. Here is the Brinkerhoff clan and our costumes. I am sister Brinkerhoff and Clint is Father. Maycee is Gabriella off of HSM, Braysyn is a lil' stinker, or a skunk, Landyn and Austyn are some spooks.
This is the kids carving their pumpkins, I usually get more into it but I didn't have it in me this year. Clint helped them out though.
Here's my little skunk with his cousin while waiting for the parade to start at the carnival.
Little skunk again.
Here are Clint and I , I guess you can tell what we are huh, shame, shame, I couldn't help myself with an opportunity to wear a costume like this I had to take it.
And this is Maycee and Braysyn with grandpa Raymond. Hope everyone had a great Halloween. I love this time of year. And Halloween is such fun.
