Nursery


I think one of the funnest parts of having a new baby is getting to do a new bedroom for them. I have spent the last week getting everything all done and I have to say that I loved the way it turned out. I wasn't going to do another surf themed nursery but when you already have the stuff for it it is hard to resist. It was so fun hanging up all of the babies clothes and putting diapers in the basket. I am so excited for him to be sleeping in here. I just need to get a brown changing pad cover and it will be complete.

Basement






The basement is finally done and everything has been moved down. It took Dave 4 months and he basically did most of it himself. His Dad was such a great help when Dave wasn't quite sure how to do something and we are so grateful for him. His Dad even did our painting for us last min which saved us some money and he did such a great job. We hired out the plumbing and Sheetrock but other then that Dave did it all himself. He did such a amazing job and I am so grateful for such a talented husband. I feel bad he missed most of the summer but I think he actually had a good time down there. He has missed the construction business. I think everybody at Home Depot knows me as the crazy pregnant women but that is a different story. I think I could tell you what is on every isle there and I have learned more about products there then I ever wanted too. I was the errand girl and some Saturdays I was there 4 times. The 1st day we moved the toys down the boys played down there for 3 hours straight. It was great. It is so great to have this done before the baby gets here and have the extra space. We have a playroom, family room, bathroom and a room for our exercise stuff. Hopefully we can move our family room furniture down soon and get some new furniture upstairs but 1st we are going to wait and see how much this baby is going to cost us.

Cooking Blog

I absolutely love finding good cooking blogs and I just found this one kukikookbook.blogspot.com. This is a darling girl in my wards and I have tried 6 or 7 of the recipe's and they have all been fabulous. I just thought I would pass it along for anybody else that loves to find new ideas.
