The Boys Room

As soon as we found out that we were having a baby, we decided to decorate the room with turtles. We loved the Mod Turtle theme and decided that would be the theme for a boy. Back in September, we painted the bedroom and have been slowely putting everything together since then. Since Joshie & Jacob like sports, we wanted everything to match, but to be "sportsy" for them. :) Here's what we have so far:

 How many kids do you know with flat screen tv's in their room? LoL

I'm sure there will be plenty of changes over the next month, but we're pretty proud of our work so far! :) We can't wait for our three boys to be here to enjoy the room! :)

Baby Showers

Our baby shower was 10/23/10. It was absolutely perfect! It was so nice to have our families together and be able to spend time with everyone. :)

The boys' room is decorated in blue and brown with "Mod Turtles", so of course the baby shower was the same! :) Here are the matching invitations:
 

The "Welcome" sign.. so cute! :)

..and of course, the turtle cake!

Here we are cutting the cake..

Wew didn't want all of the "usual" baby shower games.. so everyone decorated bibs, and we each picked our favorites.

.. they made their "Deliver Day Predictions"..

.. while Ellie played with Justin Jr. :)

Thank you all for coming to spend time with us and helping us welcome our little Zachary into this crazy world.. and thank you to my wonderful sister and everyone who helped with the planning! It was absolutely beautiful! :)




The girls at work also got together and organized a surprise baby shower for me and two other girls who are pregnant (both are due in February 2011). It was very sweet.. we had good food, decorations, a game and presents! Here are some pictures..

They had us cover our eyes when we walked in the room..


They put together bath tubs full of a bunch of little things, clothes, blankets towels..
