Baby Room

Here are a few pictures of Adrienne's room. I absolutely love it! It's not too babyish and it's something she can grow into. I decided to do a Hawaiian theme, which worked out perfect because my mom went on a trip to Hawaii this summer. She found me some awesome Hawaiian fabrics and I was able to use the fabrics for many different things. I made about 10 pillows. My sister-in-law made me the cutest bird mobile, blanket and outfit with the fabric. My sister made me the coolest bird pillow ever, also with the fabric. She also helped me paint flowers on two of the walls. My sweet husband repainted all the baby furniture. The last touch will be sheer Hawaiian curtains, which my mom is making. I am so blessed with talented people on both sides of our family and am grateful for all their help.
Jonas had to pose in most of the pictures

Personalized monster blanket from my sister-in-laws. They have a business on etsy.com called Nissalisa. Their stuff is the cutest. They were featured on Good morning Texas and in US weekly magazine (Melissa Joan Harts son was wearing one of thier shirts). How cool is that!

Glitter Lava

For a few months I have been growing Jonas's hair out. It was going well until we invested in some glitter lava. He loves the stuff. It's like silly puddy. Well one day he decided to make a little crown and put it around his head. The stuff is pretty sticky and a big glob got stuck on the back of his head. I could not get it out! So, a hair cut was inevitable. Oh well.

MIA

O.k. so I haven't updated my blog or facebook in forever. Can I blame it on the pregnancy? Sure I can. The summer flew by and I am hoping the next three weeks fly by. This little girl has taken over and I am ready for her to make her grande entrance. I have one more night of work and then I plan on just vegging out on the couch until Adrienne's arrival. I do have some pictures of my baby shower and some of Adrienne's cute room. They are on another computer so I will have to post those later. I will for sure post pictures of the little nipper when she arrives. Just wanted to let everyone know we are still alive!

Summer Fun Begins!

The days in Georgia have been rainy, but we lucked out on our trip to Centennial Olympic Park in Atlanta. The weather was cloudy, but perfect for a day at the park. I am so glad summer is here and we can start enjoying the outdoors. The kids had a blast and I can't wait to go back and visit the park again.

Circus and Carnival

Last minute we decided to go to the shrine circus with Kyli, her sister and cousin, and Kalin. Ben was is school all night, so I thought we should get out of the house and do something fun. The best part was that the circus was free with a coke can! The kids had a great time watching the circus acts, but I have to say they had more fun when we decided to go try some rides at the carnival next door. Kyli and I were a little nervous about Kalin and Jonas riding by themselves, but they actually had a blast. They were all smiles and it was so cute to see!

Candy time...

Airplane ride, which they loved. It was so fun to see them smiling and laughing during the ride.
