Nursery Project

Last night I painted letter's for Henry's room. I used Behr's "Exploring Khaki" and then cut out scrapbooking pages for the front of the letters. I think they turned out really well and Tucker and I decided that we will put them above his closet. I love adding all of these little touches to Henry's room to make it unique...Next project: Mobile for above his changing table.

Happy Father's Day!!!

Since Tucker had to work on Father's Day we decided to go out on Friday night for Lucille's and have some yummy food. I gave Tucker his Father's Day present; A book that he can read with Henry. It's called "Connor's Big Hunt" and it's about a little boy and his first hunt with his Dad.

Then Father's Day morning started off with Tucker having to work which was really sad but luckly he was able to get off early and joined my family for a day at Bear River! We had a great BBQ with chicken, steak, slaw and potatoe salad. Everyone went tubing down the river and after two times down Tucker and I decided we wanted to go with them. It was so much fun! The rapids were hardly rapids at all and I never once hit my butt on a rock. Guess I am a pro since my old man fell over :)

Baby Shower Gifts...Already!

A few weeks ago (before our invitations were even sent out!) we received a few gifts from my family, and this weekend I put them together.



I absolutely love everything, and cannot wait to use them all with Henry...but now that we have some big items in our house we are now realizing how much space this little man is going to take up. Good thing we have a lot of space :)

More Nursery Pictures

While Tucker was off at Front Sight with his Dad last week I was busy working on Henry's nursery, I finally finished painting all of the little animals in his room!



Then when Tucker came home we hung up pictures and it is totally coming together.

Baby Shower!!!

Our baby shower invitations were sent out last week and I am so excited for this special celebration. I am sure we will have a wonderful time and I hope everyone who is invited is able to come!

Viability Week!

Yay! We have reached a huge milestone. We made it to 24 weeks, many books and experts consider this "Viability Week" the week during a pregnancy where a baby will have better odds at surviving if born prematurely.

Of course the baby's survival rate will only increase with each week, but it is still exciting to know that we have made it to "V-Week". We want Henry to stay put for at least another 15-16 weeks (ask me mid-August, and I may say he can come out whenever!) so that he can grow to be a healthy and strong little man :)
