The Girly Rooms

I have been busy these past few weeks getting Lia in her new room and getting the nursery ready. I am finally ready to post a few pics. First is Lia's new room...


This is her new big girl bed. She loves it!! I added the ribbon on the bottom of the bedskirt because I thought it looked to plain. If you look close you can see Pete the Monkey on her bed :)

Her new dresser- it's so cute!!!

This is an old table that I had and painted it black to match. This way when the bed is converted to a full size she will also have a nightstand.

Last is the curtain I made to match her comforter.

So I guess now is the time to reveal that we are going to name our new baby girl Presley Kristine Decker, and here is her room.....


This is the bumper and quilt that Lia used for three months before we moved and I changed her room to pink and green. I love the colors but I hated how much of the lime green the bedskirt and curtain had so... I had my fantastic seamstress mother help me make a new purple bedskirt and coral curtain for her!!! It turned out so cute- I love it. Thanks mom:)


You might not be able to see her name on the wall so look close.

We are so excited to welcome our new little girl in 5 short weeks!!!!

Terd in the corner


So Lia is fully potty trained but she is still having a hard time with the pooping in the toilet. Yesterday I put her in her room for a nap and after a minute she was quiet- I thought she had fallen asleep a little too quickly so I decided to check on her. I opened the door and she was standing in the middle of her room and she looked up at me and said "Hey, I need to poop"!! So we hurried to the bathroom and I soon found out that there were no panties on under her dress. I helped her on to the toilet and went back to her room to investigate. My first thoguht was that she had pooped in her panties and taken them off- but there I found her clean panties in her bed. I went back to the bathroom and she looked at me and said, "You happy Mommy? I didn't poop in my panties"!! So I asked her where she did poop and she said, "I pooped in the floor"!!!!! I was shocked and ran back in her room to find a little terd in the corner. I could not help it- I busted up laughing. She was so proud of herself for not pooping in her panties- what a little stinker, literally!!

Palisdes '08

We spent the weekend of the 4th with the entire Decker crew and extended family at Palisades State Park. We loved playing at the lake, watching fireworks on the front lawn of the Manti temple, riding four wheelers, and just hanging out with all the fam.

Lia of course would not ever keep her nametag on the front so we stuck it on her back :)

We all know how much this little girl LOVES shoes!!

So cute.... playing with Papa!!

Only in Manti- need I say much more?

Me and Ali

Oh the belly shot


Lia rode this bike 80% of the day- thank you Brielle for letting her ride it since she was convinced it was hers!

Lia's 2 year check-up

So today we visited Lia's pediatrician. It was a little late but it was the first time I could get her in because we have been traveling so much. Here are her stats:
33 lbs.
99% in height
95% in weight
She is growing up so fast- good thing this was her last shot until kindergarten. Oh man I can't even think about kindergarten!!!!!

Pete the Monkey


My two year old baby girl has an imaginary friend. Pete the Monkey. She totally made him up on her own and begs me to tell her stories about him at least five times a day. She talks about how he eats bananas and plays in the jungle- it is so stinkin' cute!!! I absolutely LOVE her new found imagination- this phase of her life is so amazing!!!
