Hardy Party of 5....



Stu and Arlee Hardy


So, Arlee put me on the task of writing this post,

which is either a good or bad thing...we'll see. I don't know if

all you guys know how Arlee and I met but

here's the brief blog post version in two words.


"Road Trip"


We'll have been married for 7 years in March.

Greatest choice ever...right Arlee?

I think she's still upset with the fact her name rhymes with Hardy


Arlee Raelynn Hardy

Our next greatest blessing was to have a baby. She'll always be the
one known to always bring us to tears because of the things she says...so
why not tell you a story. So once upon a time, I was upset about something.
It was probably because Rae wasn't listening. I was telling her to get to bed
in a stern voice...sorry I'm not perfect. Suddenly I was stopped
mid sentence by these words,
"papa just be patient."
Tears started to appear and I had to apologize to her.
I will never forget the way I felt, Thanks Rae.

Ainzlee Lucinda Hardy

The next greatest blessing was having baby #2.
Ainzlee a.k.a. Ainz, will be the 'cheesy smile' girl in our family.
Everyone laughed hysterically during church because she would smile
like the bitter beer guy on the commercials. It was awesome.


So, that was the family until about 20 weeks ago.

Unborn baby Hardy

Hi! This is our next greatest blessing. Baby #3.
We went to our 20 week appointment on Thursday,
to see how the baby is looking and he/she was giving mama and papa a high five.
It was awesome. Arlee and I have been having a hard time
believing that we're having a baby, and this just made it a reality.
Arlee has been sick pretty much the whole time and
we just pray that the third trimester will go better.
She doesn't want to find out what it is, but I do...it's killing me.
After the doctor was done with the ultrasound I asked him if he saw
something and he said,"maybe." Whatever dude, the due date is June 3, 2011.

Profile of our baby

Well we just wanted to share this special news with all of you
and want to congratulate all of our other friends who are expecting babies.
We pray that our baby and your babies will be healthy and mamas too.

Love the Hardys

Ha! I love it. Congrats guys. I am so excited to see Hardy #5.

I'm sorry you've been sick Arlee. That stinks. Hopefully that will stop soon and you can just enjoy the rest!

I have been suspecting since your dad hinted that something special was going to happen in June on Facebook. :)
