It's a Boy!!

Thought I should finally put up our babies first pictures.

We had soooo much fun at the ultrasound!

My favorite part was seeing the baby move and feeling it at the same time.

The picture above is the original and the picture below has

my drawings all over it to help explain.

And we are so excited that he's a HE!!!!

Our baby boy is already so cute. Can't wait to meet him in February.

Getting ready to Get Ready for Baby Brough

I love the look of this nursery I found on ohdeedoh.com through Pinterest. I think I'm going to try and go for light yellows and grey for the baby's room with accents of either blue or pink (to be decided in about a month, yay!).

But I wanted to show you the sweet rug in this room! The owner said it was a super special gift from an aunt or something and it's from, of course, Anthropologie. Which means it's gonna be way too expensive to put in a baby room, or any room of mine for that matter. Then I came across this other inspirational blog with the coolest project ever!!

Vintage Revivals has some seriously awesome stuff! And can you believe that she created this rug herself from two separate rugs?! I couldn't believe how great this rug turned out. So I'm hoping that maybe someday I can make my own rug patterned after the one above with the rug creating genius of the one below. Time will tell... Actually I guess D.I. will have to tell because that's probably where I'm going to get my rugs from.

So dang awesome.

Organized Clutter

Zach and I have recently decided that we're going to stay in this apartment for at least another semester sooooo I've decided to spruce some things up before school starts. Sometimes it can be really hard to make a boring, yellowy walled, student apartment look cute and feel like home, but here's one way that's super easy!! I've been seeing a lot of awesomely (?) organized bookshelves and wanted to try my own hand at it, and this is what I got. I actually Love it:)

I added the mirror and frame and flowers recently.

And we always had a clutter of books on top because

those are the ones we are currently reading so I just stacked them...

I know, I'm a genius to think that one up.

Then I gathered together the book that

had similar coloring and stacked those ones too.

I was surprised to see that I had any

that went together at all. I have to say that it

was way more fun than

putting similar heights together.

Then I found some fun nick knacks that I'm always

trying to stuff in some corner or side table

and placed them on top of my stacks.

(The wooden flowers we got on our honey moon to Costa Rica.

So glad to finally have a place for it:)

oh! And this little cup had my ring

in it when Zach proposed. :) Such a cutie.

Any way, thats my latest! And I didn't even have to go

out and buy ANYTHING! But I love how it turned out.

Hope others like it too.

Headbands and Pony Tails

So Zach and I don't really care what the baby is, but... we would looooooooove a little girl!! I really don't want to miss out on headbands and ponytails :( These headbands are so cute especially the bottom left. You can find these and more on Etsy.

This is Pretty Funny

Check out this Colbert Report. No matter how many times I watch it I always laugh. But if you don't like Mormon jokes then fair warning.

How cute are these two back to school outfits for little boys! I doubt that my kids will ever look this chic but I'm sure gonna try!


You can find a great list of 15 back to school essentials for boys at babble.com. So cute!

You've gotta see these guys!
