Glenn and I went to Disneyland together after I graduated two summers ago and we found this super cute vintage-looking Matterhorn poster. We loved it and thought at the time that it would look very cute in a little boy's room if we had a little boy some day. So we sort of started with that poster. The walls were our first project. The walls in this room were green with little purple apples around the top. We're told the dad worked for mac.
Then there was some drama with the crib. We picked out a very cute crib and changing table set. We actually chose the same set that Aubry has even though we'd never seen her nursery. What can I say? We both have great taste. It took a while to get all of the paint finished and touched up and then we finally started to put the crib together. One of the side pieces of the crib was missing some hardware (the threading in some of the holes that you screw the bolts into was missing) so the manufacturers sent us some threading. We got the threading and it didn't fit into the holes. So we called again and they sent us two new entire side pieces. We got back from Christmas break and were extremely excited to see the box. We opened the box and there were two very nice looking black side pieces inside. Alas, our crib is white. So, one more time we called and they sent us white pieces. We were so excited to finally get it set up! Glenn was very proud. 
"I...have made crib."
So...here it is. My sweet little boy's room. Everything is ready. We're just missing one very little, but very important thing... 
L to R Angie Dustin, mom of one of my former piano students and just a dear heart, Melanie Morris also a sweetie, and Camarie! I finally have a picture of Camarie. This is my little brother Adam's fiance. Yep he's getting hitched on March 14th!
A few of my former Drama students. A couple of others came as well but these are the only ones I have a picture of. L to R Kristen Parker, Krista Saltmarsh, Me, Emma Boyles.
I have a lot of blogging to catch up on. It's been a very productive couple of weeks since we got back to Texas. Glenn started school again this week so we had all last week to play and get a lot of work done on the nursery when I wasn't at work. I have some fun pictures...I just have to find my camera cord. Also, the little baby ticker at the bottom of my blog says only 24 days to go! Does that sound like a very small amount of time to anyone else?
The next morning we flew out to Kauai. Kauai is our Hawaiian island of choice. It has great weather, amazing waves, all the ingredients for the perfect week of family fun. We got to Kauai about 6:00 pm Hawaii time and we split up into the two cars so the babes could go back to the house to sleep and a few of us took the smaller car to get groceries while we were still near stores. We didn't really think about how little room the car had and how many people we had to feed and therefore how much groceries we would be purchasing. It was absolutely hilarious trying to get all of the people and the food into the car. We had things stuffed under our legs and then we had to have all the back seaters get in and we just piled food on top of them. It was hilarious. Dad really had to watch the corners on the way home if we wanted any of the soft food to survive the trek.
It was a very different vacation than previous years because we had 4 more children than previous vacations. Jane and Mike brought their three little guys and little Mya came along for the ride too. I have to be honest, I was a little unsure what to expect. I just expected things to be different. Kids crying all the time. Going home for naps. Basically I expected less fun. I was totally wrong. These kids are so awesome. They were great on the beach, so much fun to be around at home, and I left thinking, "Why haven't we brought them every year?" I'm glad it went so smoothly because we'll be bringing little man next year! I just hope he's a good baby because little Mya and Maggers were angel babies. They never cried unless they needed food or nap time and then after you gave it to them they were smiling and laughing again. Seriously there was probably not more than an hour of crying all week. It was crazy! I'll be voted off the island for sure if little man is like a normal baby who cries and throws fits.
After
Charlie got a good workout that day. He knew just when to head for the hills. It was super fun to see the little kids discover the beach. Janey and Charlie could not get enough.
My stylin' niece and her stylin' mommy. Aren't they adorable?
The boys went deep sea fishing one morning really early. They didn't catch anything. The ride was apparently really rough. Glenn said it was all worth it just for the sunrise. Oh Hawaii. I miss you.
The beautiful Waimea canyon. 
Janey cakes and Glenn enjoying some Chicken nuggets together during our fun dinner out! It was fun to see Glenn play with all the kids. He has so much fun! Janey would just stare at him while he made these ridiculous airplane noises bringing the food toward her mouth like, "What are you doing?"
Fun family photos.
