Pinterest Inspired Photo Shoot

Camille's Room

Kid rooms are my favorite places to decorate. I love that they are smaller so little things make a big impact, you can use fun colors and there are so many cool things you can do for wall art. So as soon as we found out that we were having a girl I got busy.

 I had an idea to paint the room gray but then I remembered that I absolutely hate painting and I decided the yellow worked fine. I liked Brooke's baby bedding but I felt like it didn't make a huge impact, so I decided to rip up the blanket because you never use it anyways and use the fabric. I used the fabric to make a bunting, rosettes for a throw pillow and decorate the lampshade.  The fabric definitely makes more of an impact used throughout the room than it did just on the blanket.  I especially love the bunting and that I didn't even have to sew!

  For the walls I had the kids each make some pictures for her and framed them.  They love telling people about how they made pictures for Baby Millie and I love that I was able to include them in getting ready for her.  For the other pictures I did an ABC art that spelled out her name that I saw on Pinterest and I cut out some butterflies. 

I really love her room its simple and cute and girly without being pepto-bismalish.

Camille Lela James

Our new baby girl was born on Thursday, June 14.

She weighed 7 lbs. 13 oz. and was 20 in. long.  She has a little bit of brown hair like Owen did, and a strawberry on her forehead like Brookie.  We're so excited she is here, she sure is a cutie!

Treehouse

I've been a little concerned about keeping my kids entertained this summer with a new baby, so Reid and I have been looking at swing sets.  But because of the position of our only tree a swingset from the store would have taken up most of our yard.  So, Reid volunteered to make a treehouse.  So Memorial Day weekend in the 90 degree, high humidity weather he did it.  The kids were so excited, and loved helping him.  It went rather smoothly except for a few extra trips to the home depot because of his awesome helpers ( Owen hid all of the tape measurers, we've found them all now; and I was a little indecisive about what size I wanted it to be).  It looks great and the kids can't get enough of playing on it, I think it is just what we need this summer!
