3 years and Counting!!

We had the most perfect wedding! I can not believe we have been married for three years. This is my most favorite wedding picture...



Just before going out...


Ryan took me out to where we went to dinner on our first date. It was a perfect night out with my sweet husband!! He is so good to me and I couldn't be happier to be his wife! I can't wait to see him as a dad... Days to go:)

Nesting...

With Jackson joining us in just weeks I am really feeling the need for nesting!! My list just gets longer and longer as if I will not be able to do a single thing once he is here.



Carpets cleaned...



Craft room organized...too bad I didn't take a before pic. It was BAD!!
Car needs to be detailed, baby clothes washed, freezer meals made, hospital bags packed, jacks room needs finishing touches and much more....I hope we can get it all done in time.

FHE projects

Ryan and I have had a great few weeks speeding time together in the garage. Jackson will have these darling planes hanging over his crib...



Sanding away!





I can hardly wait to see this crib put together with his darling bedding!!!






Ryan in action!!


This will be the back...



And the front!! Hello Ryan:)

Odds and Ends

This is a random post but it had been a while...

I am most definitely looking and feeling more pregnant every day! Time is flying by. Here is what 6 months looks like...



And Here are a few of my Sunday updates...
Ryan made this darling board (check them out on etsy...chunky monkey frames!!)


23 Weeks



24 Weeks



25 Weeks

I found these darling airplane prints on etsy and could not be happier with them. The colors are perfect and I love them hanging all together. With some gallery frames and Ryan's airplane propeller I think it came together quite nice:) Ryan is a pro when it comes to hanging things. He had this measured and leveled and in its perfect place in no time!! He is as handy as a pocket knife:)




My other project has been a chevron quilt for Jackson. When I first got my sewing machine I made a quilt similar to this only it was strait lines. The zig zag threw a challenge in there but it is going to be darling when/if I finish it. The sewing is done but now the back needs to be cut in between each seam, binding needs to be attached and a monogram attached! Then it can be washed and frayed to reveal the final product!! I'll update pictures with my progress!!





I think there are 12 ladies in my ward all pregnant at the same time. It's a little nuts! 2 baby showers this week and another next. I decided I would do hooded baby towels for gifts. They have been fun to do. I even ventured into appliquéing and have to say I did okay! It might be my new thing;) here is what I did for my friend Margie who is having a little boy.



A coordinating bus for the hood of the towel.


An S for Samuel in the center at the bottom of the towel!


Such a boy print!

Well I guess that's it for now. I head off to NYC on Friday with Alec. We have lots planed. Pictures to come!

Progress on Jackson's room!

I have always wanted a rocking chair in the babies room. But not just a rocking chair but a big comfy chair. I have had a hard time finding one that I liked that was not super over priced. I was thrilled when this one caught my eye! It's so simple but so perfect!



Ryan got the dresser sprayed. We love the navy blue:)



I ordered these cute burp clothes on etsy and just love them! The lady did a great job. I can't stop myself sometimes from buying things. It's addicting!!



A random post I know!

Utah Trip

Ryan and I had a great time in Utah with his family over the 24th of July.
After a day of airport appreciation...

...we flew into Grand Junction and Brent drove the 4 hours to pick us up that night. It was a long and tiring day but we made it and were thrilled to be there.
We spent Saturday in Park City shopping and eating and mostly enjoying the cool weather. It was nice to have a small break from the Texas heat and humidity.



We had to pick up this cute fork for baby Jackson!!




The next few days we relaxed, celebrated the 24th with a parade and lunch at Grandma Scotts, and caught up with the family. It is always fun to see the nieces and nephews!!
Alec came up to hang out with his friends and we had spent out time outside at the parks, pools and movie theaters. Alec is a rock star in Utah and has won the love of everyone. It's not hard for the dude...he is so good looking and very manly!! ;)














My biggest surprise was the baby shower Ryan's family pulled off. It was a complete surprise and I had no idea it was even in the works. We were "going to dinner" and I was excited about that! When Ryan and I got back to his parent house I walked in the door to his mom and sisters, aunts and grandma!! I was slightly confused but caught on fast. The party moved downstairs to the basement and guests started to arrive. I was super shocked when my mom walked in the door and had flown in from Texas to join the party!! She came with my grandma George, aunt Melissa, "ant" Nikki and some of my cousins!! So much love and support!
I still can't believe how well they pulled it off! I am so blessed with such a wonderful family and appreciate all they do for me. We went home with two extra suitcases full of clothes, blankets and toys for baby Jackson. It was a wonderful surprise!!

We had cake balls galore!! Haley and Alys went slightly overboard but boy were they good!!




Darling diaper cake made by Alys!




Morning flew in that morning and brought the delicious box of macaroons all the way from NYC!! Yum




Diane found this darling baby book for Jackson! It's perfect:) Gracie was my helper opening gifts...she is the cutest!




Mr. Sock T. Pus! Such a cute idea! Thanks Jensens:)




My cousin Kristine came and made Jackson his very own aviator hat and goggles!! I can't wait to put them on him! Such a crackup!!
Needless to say we are spoiled rotten! It was a great trip with great memories!!
