Pictures!!!!

We just had these taken yesterday! I LOVE them all, but these are a handful of my favorites. I am sorry they are small. I can't figure out how to get them bigger. Enjoy!!!

Wall Letters

Here they are! I have the letters finished. They are not up on the wall yet, but I wanted to get them done, so that I could take them to Mandie's tonight to get our pictures done. I was going to leave Hali's letters white, but I just couldn't.

Hali's Nursery

It is all coming together now. It now feels real. The room is done!

What a weekend. Friday James and I were going to go eat supper at the Pear Tree with Trenton and Erin for Erin's birthday. Erin text me that morning saying she wasn't feeling great and would have to see how lunch settled before we went anywhere. That afternoon she let me know that it hadn't gotten any better, so we had to put a rain check on our plans. Then later that afternoon I had a Popsicle with Adi. As soon as I finished I started to get sick. When James got home I had my head in the toilet, and I was so upset because we were supposed to leave for Des Moines to go baby shopping the next morning. We decided we would just see how I felt. My parents are on vacation in Virginia ( Dad and Tara both got the stomach flu on the way), and James's mom works on the weekends, so my Nana was going to watch Adi for a couple days and nights. Nana called that evening and said that she had been throwing up all day and wasn't going to be able to watch Adi Saturday, but would see how she felt Sunday. I won't bore you with anymore details, but I'll just say we got it worked out. We had a great time. We hit a few stores, ate a big steak, watched a hilarious movie, and had Coldstone Creamery! We started Sunday by grabbing some Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, and finishing up our shopping. Mom and Nana gave me cash for Hali, because we are not having a shower. I was not expecting that, so it was a nice surprise. I got to get everything instead of getting a few things here and there. ( THANK YOU!) Nana felt better Sunday and kept Adi for the day, but we ended up picking her up that night. I said it was because I didn't want Nana to have to keep her if she wasn't 100% better, but secretly I didn't want to leave her two nights. After working Monday and today, we are done!!! I still have to get the letters done to put above the crib. It will come in its own sweet time.

Adi's Big Girl Room / Upstairs Bathroom

So, I know that this is not very exciting. I know that a bathroom is a bathroom, but since I was posting pictures of the girls' redone rooms, I thought this one should get some attention. We did this room quite awhile ago. It was red and didn't look much like a kid's bathroom. That is who will be using this bathroom the most so I wanted a change. It was hard to get good pictures, because the bathroom is not very big.

Here are a few pictures of Adi's room. We didn't paint or anything. We just rearranged and took out the baby furniture. The only new thing is Adi's dresser, which is so cool. It has colored panels in it that can be changed, so that it can change with her room. I LOVE IT! The only thing that is left is the letters above her bed. I am going to scrapbook some bigger letters. I have them; I just have to get them done. Adi was really excited when she got home from Shelly's today. She went in her room and literally squealed. She noticed the dresser first, and wanted to know where her diapers were. :)

Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep...

Tonight my baby is sound asleep in her big girl bed. I can't help but be emotional. She can't be old enough for that, can she? I called my mom and told her it made me sad, and she told me that it was ok, because I would have a new baby to put in that crib soon. That almost made it worse. That is Adi's bed! I have that whole, " how can I love another baby as much," syndrome. I know that will all change, but it is hard to understand now. Don't get me wrong. I already love Hali with all my heart. It's just different at this stage of the game. You'll notice that we still have the crib as back-up just in case. We are painting Hali's room on the 27th, so that will give us time to transition Adi, and then move the crib to Hali's room. Wish us luck!!!

Story Hour

This Wednesday, I took Adi to our local story hour, at the library. There have been a couple that I have missed, and I wish we would have gone. I wasn't sure how it would be for someone Adi's age. Thanks to Andrea's advice, we decided to give it a try. I don't think that she cared whether or not they read, but I think she enjoyed being with all of the kids that were there. :)

My Man and His MUD!

I don't talk about my hubby's hobbies often (or ever.) It is not because I don't care. I am glad that he has things that he enjoys doing, because I have things that I enjoy. I just don't necessarily understand the things that he loves, nor does he when it comes to my shopping! James likes to play in the mud. Yes, you read right. His hobby involves big trucks and mud. You take your truck and see how fast and far you can go through a big pit of mud. The goal is to do that farther and faster than everyone else. He had a mud run this weekend and he got first place. Although I don't understand, I am still proud of him. He is a very quite, humble person, but when he got home yesterday, he was grinning from ear to ear, with his trophy and $90 prize. He didn't even break anything on his truck. Believe me, that is a feat in itself. So congrats to you honey! Good luck next week!
