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!!!

South Carolina

Lia eating a hot dog- notice the ketchup all over her face :)

Lia and Daddy!!

Lia and Mommy- eating a lemon.

Lemon face!!


We love the beach!!


Climbing trees!!

Lia and Bella pulling faces- I can't believe they are only three days apart. Lia is a giant :)

So last week was a blast- It was the perfect way to spend our 6 year anniversary!!! We spent the whole week at a Marriott resort on Hilton Head Island with our friends The Butterfield's and the Kettle's- love the perks of Taz's job!!!! All in all Lia was a good little traveler (as best you can expect from a 2 year old). I was really bad about taking pictures- I would either forget to put it in my bag or just plain forget to take some when I had it:( We spent plenty of time in the pool and on the beach, there is not a whole lot to do there but relax so that was nice. Lia became quite a good little swimmer thanks to Daddy the former swim teacher. We ate some good food at Sticky Fingers and enjoyed the southern hospitality!! We all wore spf 70the whole time but somehow Lia ended up with a killer tan?? Taz enjoyed his time on the beautiful golf courses with friends and totally spoiled me with a two hour trip to the spa. I got an hour facial and an hour massage- it was the most relaxing thing I have ever done!!! We shared a bed with Lia for the first time in her entire life and she was the only one who loved it. She was convinced that Daddy's pillow was hers and was bulldozing him all night long while kicking me!!! One night we turned out the lights and she decided that it was not time to go to bed so she climbed up on Taz and said, "What's up Daddy"? It was so funny we could not help but bust out laughing. Lia had some naughty moments being out of her element and playing with the other girls- she is in for a surprise when this baby comes!!! We had so much fun- sorry we don't have more pics to share :(

I know..... I know

So I have not posted in a long time. Since Lia's B-Day there has not been a whole lot going on. We have been doing a lot of yard work and flower planting and refinishing our deck (again...don't ask). Those are the pics down below- thanks Taz for doing all the hard work. Lia and I got the flu..... in June. We have been swimming, blowing bubbles, riding bikes, and sidewalk chalking. We helped my parents get their lawn ready for sod. And the best news is that Lia is ALMOST potty trained. Yes ALMOST there- we are down to maybe one accident a day and the poops are not very consistent but she has really got the hang of it. We got her a gumball machine and give her a quarter when she goes and she just loves that. Taz had a great Father's Day- it's amazing to see how much one little girl can love her Daddy!!! It's not hard to love him when he is the best Daddy in the WORLD!!! Well on Friday we are off to Hilton Head, South Carolina for a week at a Marriott resort so look forward to the pics from that.
