Yesterday, I flew into Casper, Wyoming for the week to be with my sister, Dani, while she is having her baby. You probably noticed it was an "I" not a "we". Nick wasn't able to come with me :( due to work and school. It will be a lonely week without him, but we're both staying postive. He is missed dearly by my family and I. Yes, I am also missing a full week of school which is a little stressful, but I turned in a lot of my work early before leaving, so that helps. Unfortunatly, my teachers weren't too happy with me leaving either (we won't EVEN go into that story), but family comes first in this girls book. :)

Today we finished putting baby Addie's room together and I have to say, it's my favorite room in the house. It turned out just perfectly!! We all made a group effort to finish the room, take pictures, and post it on mom's blog. We decided to ALL copy that post and paste onto our blogs. :) Don't mind the silly inside jokes as we were all wired and being silly as always when we get together!! :)



Hi!! This is a shout out from Dani's house in Lingle, Wyoming. Katie and I headed down to Lingle yesterday and picked Lindi up at the Casper Airport as she flew in from Vegas for the week. It only took us 2 hours longer to get to Dani's house from Casper because of the WONDERFUL roads, which were covered in ice... BLACK ice that is... did you know that black ice is like the devil?... It's true, you can't see it but the evil is always there! Anyways... back to the story... we made it to Lingle SAFELY around 12 am. :)

As you can see, my daughters and I are having a good time creating this post together and you will see the same one on all of their blogs as well. NOW... the reason why we're posting...
INTRODUCING... (the FINISHING touches)... ADDIE'S ROOM!!!!!!!
Note: The colors in the following pictures don't show their true hue.































































I picked out fabric for pillows to be made for the nursery and was hoping to find someone to make them. I hit the jackpot when I thought of Brenda, she did an AMAZING job!! The pictures don't do them justice, they are adorable and we all LOVE them!!!!...




















































The above pillow turns to the other side and it is pictured in the second picture in the rocking chair...they are all so cute and absolutely perfect!!!! THANKS Brenda!!!!!

The following items were made by Michelle and the ribbons were added by Lindi today. The ribbons are the same ones that were used on the pillows and we wanted to tie them into the room...



































(I couldn't edit any of the pictures, because I don't have my computer...hence not soooo good...)

The following decor was provided by the talented Lindi...


















Lindi made the name...addie...








































Lindi helping...























The expectant mother, anxiously awaiting the big day which is this Wednesday!! In this picture, one can see that she is carrying Addie on the left side and in real life she looks a little funny!!! But she's always been a little special and we still LOVE her!!!























I'll keep you posted on the excitement from Lingle!!!

Can I just say that those are almost exactly the same colors I've been looking at for our nursery!? That's such a cute room! I found a lot of baby stuff that matches those exact colors...how funny! Looks like you've all done a great job! Way to be! Too bad Nick couldn't come. :( hope all goes well for Dani!
