Maddens Nursery

Madden's Nursery

So I've had some requests from people to post some pictures of Madden's nursery. I love decorating and designing as well and I must say I was very proud of my little man's room. I new that with our Dark hardwood floors I wanted grey walls in his room and we decided to do lime green as the accent color and white. Trav loves anything to do with Tonka trucks and construction theme so that's what we decided to decorate his room in. Our awesome neighbor was nice enough to do a couple painting which one isn't done yet and his lamp shade and painted Tonka trucks on theme. He is an amazing artist and did such a great job. My good friend and her mother actually made Madden's crib bedding. I got to pick all the fabric out and have it customized the way I wanted it and they did an absolute amazing job!! There are little details in his room such as his baby blocks which my sister in law made and I absolutely love and little things like his tonka trucks, pictures of him as a newborn and while he was still in Momma's belly that make the room so special to me. This room was made for a little special boy with so much love and care from everyone. Hope you enjoy!!

Cardigan,boots and jeans

So I am in love with cardigans this winter and love my boots as well. Today we are leaving for our amazing trip to Disneyland and lucky me we are staying at grand California. Yay!!! So for the plane ride I always like to be comfy especially when flying with my little guy and I usually tend to get hot on the planes most of time so I decide since its still freezing cold here and I know ill get warm on plane ride And Cali weather is in high 70's which I am so ready for I decided a tank with a cardigan will be perfect. I also like to pair my Cardigans with some jeans and boots!

Yellow cardigan = target
White tank = old navy
Silver jeans = buckle
Boots = buckle
Necklace = Brighton

Madden's 8 Months!!!

Madden's 8 Months!!

I cannot believe our little man is 8 months old already.  He's growing so fast and learning new things each and everyday. He loves feeding himself snacks and anytime I try to help him he pushes my hand away and wants to do it on his own. He's developed quite the little attitude and knows how to get what he wants.  He still isn't crawling yet which everyone says is nice but Trav and I are so ready for him to start. He does tummy time a lot better than he used to and will kick his legs to try to go but nothing yet. He absolutely loves his jumparoo and will go crazy in it.  Sometimes I feel like he's just going to jump right out of it.  He loves his fruit and veggies and loves to drink from his sippy cup. He also loves yogurt. I started giving him half a yogurt after he east his solids and he waves his arms and gets so excited. He will eat almost anything we let him try. He loves to talk and hear himself make silly noises and recently he loves to copy cat us in our noises we make. He learned how to give kisses which is the cutest thing in the world. He has started to get a little separation anxiety if we leave him in the room alone which sometimes is hard when I'm trying to get things done but it's also so cute. Each day he grows and learns new things and it such a joy in our lives. We feel so lucky to be his parents are so proud of him. We love you infinity baby boy!!!


Look at those baby Blues!!! He gets those from his Daddy!!

This was his second time going to Utah Basketball game and he loves it!!

Packing Lists!!!!!

So we are leaving for Madden's 2nd trip to Disneyland in 6 days!!! Cannot wait! Trav and I love going to Disneyland and especially now that we have Madden it makes it even more fun. Even though he doesn't really know what's going on all the memories are so worth it. Madden was only 2 1/2 months when we took him for the first time in August and man it was SOOOO hot!!! Luckily we got a portable A/C fan unit and could snap it on his car seat and used portable mini fans. He did great though and loved all the lights and entertainment. I think this trip will be even more fun for him since he's older and is really into lights and busy places. 
Getting ready for trips like this though takes a lot of time and work. I made a packing list for our last trip to Disneyland for him and I find it to be so useful and I use it anytime we leave out of town. It may be a bit much and I tend to over pack a lot but I would rather over pack then run out of something. Especially when it's for your child. I tend to do the same thing with his diaper bag and over pack it but you just never know when your gonna run out of something. I also have included a packing list for Trav & I as well since we've vacationed a lot together I think I've mastered out lists and hopefully Madden's packing list as well and I have a list for Day Bag for going out. I really hope you find this useful if you and your family are leaving out of town & if I have forgotten something please let me know so I can add it to my list.
