It is a.....

BOY!! I am a little nervous about raising a son but so happy he "looks great" according to the ultrasound. Nate is so excited to have a partner to skate with, among other things. I cannot believe we only have 4 more months until he gets here. We have started putting the nursery together - the crib is up and we have a dresser/changer combo. I have been looking for a glider for the room as well....I have found baby stuff is like wedding stuff...MARKED UP IN PRICE!! We found some curtains that we really like - bright and bold colors. And they are from Ikea...cannot go wrong there! We will be taking our inspiration from the curtains. Nate is worried, since I never like the first color we paint a room - LOL. He is afraid he will be painting and re-painting.

A Weekend of Celebration(s)

This weekend Heather came home and we had a surprise party for Dad's 60th B-day!!! We could not have pulled it off without everyone helping. So huge thanks to everyone!!!!! It was awsome to get so many people together to celebrate and let me just tell you that the food was delish!!!

Then on Sunday we celebrated Jaccob's 2nd birthday. Jaccob is one of our nephews. It was nice to get together and see the boys (Jaccob, Ethan and Andrew and the biggest kid - Nate) ham it up. We also got to meet Rachel's new puppy Nala. She is so cute!!

Some scrappin fun!

I have become a blog stalker - yes I can admit it - I stalk blogs. I get so jealous of all these great, well amazing, scrappers and I have such a deep appreciation for the amazing work they do and ideas they have!! So with some of their ideas in mind, I started scrapping our wedding photos. I have about 5 million pro and non-pro, so know this is an on going process, but I am fairly satisfied with what I accomplished yesterday. It was also nice to have something to focus on other that the crazy storm that came whipping through. I used the letters from our card box for the cover. I also saved all the scrap paper, the ribbon we used on vases, bouquet jewels, and even the reserved seating signs. These elements have been used through out what I have finished so far. (side note - I am unhappy with the page of the guys, but the pics are just in corner tabs so I can chage it. Also, the pages are in no order what-so-ever right now.)

Water Babies

This weekend was smokin HOTT!! We managed to enjoy the water on Saturday and Sunday!!
