While the boys and I were finishing up our vacation in CA, Scott was busy planning and carrying out a huge surprise!
I have always wanted to design Ian's room around a BYU Cougars theme, but somehow it just never happened. I was so thrilled to see that Scott had taken the task upon himself, especially since he far exceeded my own imaginations for the room. I love how the "Y" logo appears on a Y Mountain, just as it does in real life! Plus, the horizontal stripes on the wall are just like the white stripes on the BYU football jerseys, with the center stripe slightly thicker. My husband is a creative genius.
I loved it so much I cried when I saw it. We arrived home from the airport and were busily preparing the boys for bed when I walked in the dark room, flipped on the light and saw what Scott had done. After flying home to Houston for four hours with a toddler on my lap and an infant by my side, such a thoughtful act was such a wonderful surprise. I absolutely love how it turned out. And so does our little Cougar fan, Ian!
Here is a video of the room:

Another fun surprise came the following day -- our good friend Susan, Sarah Kearns mom, had finished a beautiful quilt for Ian that she had been working on since his birth. It has adorable illustrations of each letter of the alphabet on one side....
...and BYU Cougar logos on the other! Ian adores the quilt and insists on sleeping with it. And the timing of when the gift arrived was so fun! It looks like it was made for his new room.Scott just returned from a business trip to Utah and brought back some fun accessories from the BYU Bookstore. I can't wait to see how it all looks up on the walls.

OH MY GOODNESS! I think Scott did an amazing job. Maybe he needs to look into working for HGTV. That is very impressive. I think Nate's pretty sure he wants to copy that idea for when we have a boy.
Scott is really awesome! What a good job he did! It looks incredible.
Wow, that is awesome! But I have to say that Scott is in trouble with a couple of his sisters...what's the deal with him staying 15 minutes away and not even calling us??? :) What a fun surprise for you to come home to!
So cute!
I'm normally not a fan of theme rooms, but Scott did such a good job. It's incredible. It looks very professional. I would've cried too. Your boys are so adorable. Your blog is one of my favorites.
I have some rooms Scott could paint. Scott you are awesome.
We miss you all.

I'm super duper impressed! It looks awesome, and Scott did it all by himself??? So cool.
