Maternity Pictures

March 12th I had Maternity Pictures & they turned out sooo good! Robin Maxwell w/ Life in Bloom Photography does a great job, she has done my Engagements, Bridals, as well as our Wedding...so of course I wanted her to photograph another huge milestone in our life. Here are a few of my favorites:

:

Zac Brown Band at HLSR

We had already decided that after attending the Supercross at Reliant that we would probably skip out on the rodeo this year b/c its a lot of walking and the seats are sooo uncomfortable. Crystal was so excited to see Zac Brown but she never got tickets, the Tuesday before the show one of the vendors here at work brought in 4 tickets and gave them to us. No one wanted them and Joseph is also a Zac Brown fan ( I am as well but I'm also a sissy b/c I know sitting in those tiny seats for 2 hours is going to be a pain!) so I went out and asked him if he wanted to go. He asked if I was up for it and like a good wife I said of course anything for you dear, haha! So we got in touch with Crystal & let her know she would now be going to Zac Brown w/ us as well as Sherri.

So that Thursday we headed up to the rodeo! We looked at all of the shops & went to the concert. It was a very good time, Zac Brown really puts on a good concert...and I didn't fall over dead LOL!

FYI it was also St. Patricks day so I had to wear the only green shirt I could find...little did I realize until seeing the pictures I looked like a beached whale in it! LOL

Paisley's Amazing Room

I must say Paisley has the cutest nursery I've ever seen & I have several people to thank for that, My Parents for the furniture, Pam for the sewing, & Schelli Martin for her amazing painting! Her room has finally all come together now we just need a baby but we can wait a few weeks(we still have 2 more showers to go)!! Bayleigh now thinks this room is hers...and she thinks all of the gifts from yesterdays shower are hers as well! I'm a little nervous of how she will be when Paisley is here because right now there is no doubt she is the baby!!!

From the start I wanted Paisley's name above her bed, I wasn't sure how I wanted it but after seeing Schelli's work there was no doubt painting it was the way to go!! She is just amazing, she free hands it and it looks better than any stencil! I was thinking I wanted her name w/ a few paisley designs by it but....then it hit me! One day while checking out etsy.com (beware if you have never been there b/c you can get in lots of trouble w/ your bank account lol!) they had a tree and it was sooo neat! I wasn't really sure how a tree could be incorporated into a room that was pink w/ paisley bedding. Then I realized that a birds wing is the same shape as the paisley design & thought that would look amazing! I printed a ton of ideas out & handed them to Schelli and she completely took my idea & made it 10 times better than I could have ever dreamt up! I'm so excited to get her in there I just know she will love her room as much as Joseph and I love it...oh and Bayleigh lol!
