Show Us Your Life - Master Bedroom

This Friday it is Master Bedrooms. Ours is currently a work in process. We painted it a couple months ago and then I finally found bedding I like and I'm currently working on the curtains. We have one wall with nothing on it that I need to figure out what to do with. So close to being done, I'm hoping to have it finished by the end of the month, we'll see!

This is the room when you first walk in. I'm working on the valance. Only part of it is finished. The other half will be up tomorrow (fingers crossed!). This is Adam's nightstand along with his church binders in the basket and his church bag.
This is the bed with our new quilt on it. I love the colors. I'm planning on painting the master bath the aqua color that is in the quilt.
Our dresser, you can see some of Adam's marathon medals hanging on the mirror. I really need a jewelry box. I'm hoping to get one on Black Friday, they are usually on sale then. To the left is a baby picture of my mom that I drew in high school. And our dirty laundry on the floor. I have a plan for it, it just hasn't happened yet.
This is the wall across from our bed. The door on the left is our walk in closet and the door to the right is our bathroom. The pictures are from our wedding day and the temple that we were married in. It also has my hope chest my dad bought me, Adam's running stuff, and my awesome diaper bag that I love.
My favorite part of our room is the closet because it has a place for all my shoes!
And these are the greatest invention ever! I bought these at the Container Store, I'm so happy I did. My boots are out of the way and stay in good shape all at the same time. PERFECT!

Next week is dining room...ours is sad just like the living room. I'll work on getting something hung up in there this next week so it looks a little better!

Grayson - 1 month

One month old already, it sure has gone by fast! Grayson was actually one month on Monday (the day I took the above picture) but today was his Dr's appointment so I wanted to post his stats. Our little guy has gained quite a bit of weight since he can now keep food down. He is 9lb 2oz and 22 inches long. He has only grown 1/2 inch since his one week appointment but has gained 1.6 pounds in 10 days. I keep telling him to grow to fit into his cute 0-3 months clothes. I'm sick of the newborn outfits!

He is more and more alert everyday. It is surprising how they go from sleeping all day to all of a sudden wide awake and looking around. He has baby acne really bad all over his cute little face. Yes, I airbrushed it out, feel free to judge me!

Here's he is in his super cute shark pjs...please look at the cute shark feet!

Hard Day?

Grayson's surgery

Here's a pic of Grayson's little incision from his surgery. It is healing very well. He has a follow up appointment with his surgeon on Monday.



And I just think this picture is funny...with his little butt in the air.

Show Us Your Life - Living Room

One of my favorite blogs (Kelly's Korner) that I stalk hosts a "Show Us Where You Live" blog post every Friday. She did it last year and I didn't participate then but I decided to give it a try this year. Partly because I think it will be fun since half of the rooms in my house have NOTHING in them. For instance today's post is on Living Rooms. Here's ours...
SAD isn't it! The funny thing, the three things you see in this room have been in here for about a week. Although we have lived in our house for almost a year, I have done nothing to this room. The reason, I don't know what to do with it. So it just seemed like a waste of money to do something just to do something. So it stays empty. It is a nice place for the boys to run around in and it is super easy to clean! I just have to clean the windows and vacuum.

We have Grayson's swing in there so he can sit in it while we have dinner and such. The rocking chair is from Aiden's & Grayson's room. We moved it in here so we can have a place to sit for midnight ( and 2 am and 4 am and 6 am) feedings.

Since our living room is so boring I will leave you with some pretty flowers. I think they are the prettiest one's I've ever received. (Actually they are for Grayson but I don't think he fully appreciates them.)

KONZA

Today we got the bright idea to hike Konza this afternoon. I don't know what I was thinking. But once I made it over those first few hills I was good. However, I'm paying for it tonight. I will definitely be seeing the chiropractor next week.

Adam and 3 of his boys...
One of the many lizards we saw...
Damon and Xavier were always running up infront of us. This is the one time we had to wait for them...
Aiden getting a ride...next time we'll go when its not his nap time!
And the cute little passenger I got to carry...

Our Parking Garage


For some reason Aiden has been spending a lot of his time playing with his cars. Usually he has them all downstairs but the other day he had brought them up to the kitchen. He is pretty entertaining to watch because he will play with them for awhile and then he will start to "park" them. He will line them up against the wall or in this case the kitchen table and just make rows and rows of them. When he is playing with them outside he will even angle them just like a parking lot.
