Second cutest baby room ever!

So I tend to go a little overboard with my baby rooms that I create, but I can't help it. I loved my baby room in Tennessee and I wanted one just as cute here. I had a lot of firefighter stuff from when Caiden was born and his bed spread now is firefighter themed so I had to figure out a way to incorporate all the items I already had.
I got the ladder idea off the internet and had my dad help me make it- well pretty much he just made it and I painted it. I had pics of Caiden and Jayson at the fire dept in TN from one of our visits back there so I decided to frame those and hang them from the ladder-they look great!
When Paxton comes, I will get more frames and hang them on the adjacent wall to help complete the look.
I still need a few more accents and pictures around the room, but I think it looks pretty cute just how it is. Can't wait until we have money to do the rest of our house! I have a great idea for our master bedroom!

Caiden's birthday party!!

We decided to do a friend birthday party for Caiden this year so we invited all his little friends and some cousins to come with us to Arctic Circle!! Caiden loved it as we knew he would. My camera died right before he got to open presents so these are the only pictures I got.

Caiden loves batman!Caiden, Joshua, and Jake.Hyrum, Kenya, Caiden, and Brooke.

Now, when I say that my camera died, I mean that it is completely broken! I was so mad! It's not like we didn't have anything important coming up like christmas and the soon the birth of our baby-whatever. I called my dad and asked if we could borrow their old 35 mm camera to which he said yes. So we did have a camera for christmas and since Jayson is such a little impulse buyer, he went and bought a new digital camera the day after christmas.

We had some money that his dad had given us for christmas and on christmas eve, a lady came and bought some maternity pants that didn't fit me that I had been trying to sell for months. Funny how that added up to enough money for us to buy a new camera!!

Graduation!!

December 9, 2009 will not be a date that we soon forget! It seems like so long ago that I started back to school in hopes of becoming a nurse, I can't believe that I did it and am finally done! We celebrated by going to dinner at Applebees and then onto my pinning ceremony. Afterwards we took a small group of family with us to Marie Calenders for pie!
I am so glad to be out of school again and I look forward to spending more time with Caiden and our new little one when he gets here. The job market is getting a bit tougher than you would think for nurses, but I'm sure I will find something that suits our needs once Paxton is born. These are my best nursing school buddies who I will miss the most from my class.
