Baby Room

Well we basically finished decorating the baby room now that we have a little more time with school out for the summer. I think that it turned out pretty cute. Gary and I go in there all the time and just sit and talk. So we thought we would share some pictures of his room so far. Unfortunately we are not able to paint at all in the place we are renting so we had to make due with the off-white walls.

This is his crib and some really cute bedding that we found at Target a couple months ago. We got the crib from walmart and we really love it. It was actually ranked as the #2 crib by consumer reports (below a $900 crib!).

Both Gary and I made some of the decorations by hand. Gary made this really cute mobile. We saw one that was really similar online but it was really expensive and Gary thought that he could make it himself. I think that it turned out perfect. Maybe our boy will be a scuba diver like his daddy.

I made these vintage looking blocks. They are not completed yet because we are still not 100% sure of his name. Once we know for sure what we want to name him we will put letters on each of the blocks that will spell his name. The empty picture frames will probably have pictures of him once he is born.
This is his changing table and dresser. Most of the pictures on the walls are from Etsy.

I am sure that I will be spending a lot of time on this rocker.
Gary put in these really convenient hooks which are perfect for hanging our diaper bags.

So that is basically our baby room (which was Gary's office). As fun as it was to set this all up we can't wait to actually put it to use!

We love weddings!

So we've spent the last few weekends in May in Phoenix for weddings. So fun! I love weddings and receptions. I loved them as a kid too. Yes, maybe it does have a lot to do with the yummy food. And I love buying gifts and wrapping them up cute. I would seriously love wrapping presents as a job. But these weddings were especially fun because my brother Randy got married in May to the coolest girl, Meghan. They are such a fun couple. We were able to see so much family down for the wedding! We were loving it.

And more recently my good friend Melissa was also married in May to the sweetest guy, John. I am so happy for her! Unfortunately I don't have a ton of pictures of her day yet, but that first picture you see was of Gary and I at her reception. It was truly gorgeous and I had such a blast seeing so many friends. And there is the baby bump. It is getting bigger every single day. No, by the end of each day it feels bigger! But I am feeling great for the most part. I am still working so that's something. As most of you know I am a orthodontic dental asst. (braces), so I sit in a chair and work in people's mouths the majority of the time. I have noticed that my belly is starting to crowd the headrests on the chairs and every once in a while our baby will give a big kick! It actually pushes me away from the chair a little bit. So funny! That silly kid...
Here Gary and I are waiting outside the Mesa temple for Randy and Meghan to make their appearance. My husband is hot. No question.
Awww. They are so cute together. And isn't her dress soooo pretty? I wish I had a better full-length shot of it. She looked amazing. It made me want to get married all over again. *Sigh*
I am such a girly girl. Even though lately because of my expanding belly, I only want to wear my yoga pants and t-shirts! But I love dressing up and doing my hair and make-up for things. I have always complained to Gary that there just aren't enough occasions for married couples to get all fancy. There is no adult prom in Flagstaff that I know of...but anyways. Randy and Meghan's reception was at her parents home and they did such a great job. It was beautiful. Gary and I got to dance under the stars. It was romantic. And it wasn't even our wedding.
rOoompa!
Nick & Maddy and the boys. Although we don't have the littlest, Jaren in there. They just moved to Puerto Rico recently, where my brother Nick is working for Johnson & Johnson. I am excited to hear about all their adventures!
This is pregnant me, my sister Alison and her newest addition, Sarah. She was the source of much entertainment and fun, such a cutie. It made me so excited to have our baby! Don't Alison and I look alike?
Mother and Daughters. Note the shorts I am wearing. This is certainly not the norm. But we went from Flagstaff 70 degrees to like 92 in Phoenix. I truly can't imagine pregnancy in Phoenix. People do it everyday I know and I'm sure that I will do it one day too. I guess thats what AC is for.
But we had such a blast seeing cousins, aunts, uncles. I had a cousin there that we realized I hadn't seen in 15 years...years! It was really fun to catch up. But anyways, congratulations to the happy couples. We love you!
