Scout's Nursery // Modern Explorer

We had so much fun planning another boy nursery for our Scout. His name to us represents an "adventurer", "outdoorsman" and an "explorer." So, we wanted a nursery that portrays not only those items but also has some modern and sophisticated elements. It came together very easily for us this second time and we couldn't be happier with how clean and bright it is. We were able to re-purpose some items from Sawyer's nursery and found some really great antique pieces that added a bit of charm. Shopping details listed below...

Baby Johnson's Nursery

Mommy & Daddy in Elliot's Room

John, Sawyer and me were finally able to come check out the progress Megan & Tim have made on Baby Johnson's nursery....better yet I should say "Elliot Ann's" nursery. She officially has a name!!! Megan was 30 weeks on Friday and so we brought over some pizza and got to check out the nursery. Sawyer loved playing with Elliot's toys. The nursery is adorable in grey with accents of emerald and  they decorated with maps and globes. It is almost completely ready for Mrs. E. I can't wait to meet her! This weekend is the shower we are throwing for Megan so I will be sure to post lots of pictures!
After checking out Elliot's room, we headed to the park in Republic (which is awesome by the way) to let Sawyer...or should I say, John & Tim....play.

The onesie we got for Sawyer's new BFF

"Yep, these will be just perfect for her!"

All the boys racing to see who could get the highest, even Sawyer is trying.

Weeeeeee!

ah, friends ready to catch each other

Baby Kaiden Shower: A little peanut is on his way

Mom-to-be Cindie

My sister Amie, Mother-in-law and I hosted a baby shower for my sister-in-law Cindie at Big Whiskey's last weekend. She is due to give birth to her first child, Kaiden in early June. Cindie and her husband Rob affectionately refer to him as Peanut, hence the theme. I created the invitations & signage. My sister Amie created the adorable banner from scrapbook paper I found. I also attempted my first Diaper Wreath, it was so easy! The adorable cake was created by one of my co-workers Lauren, who also did the cute Superhero cookies at Sawyer's first birthday party (see party post here).
I am so excited to be an Aunt for the first time and it will be great to have a little cousin running around with Sawyer. It was a wonderful shower and Cindie was showered with gifts for her bundle of joy! After the shower Sunday, we visited Cindie and Rob's house to see the nursery and have some family photos taken. The nursery looks great and Sawyer really enjoyed "testing" out all of Kaiden's toys. Cindie even hung a few of the shower items we made in the nursery.
