Who is your Hero?

So the last month or so, we've made a lot of changes here to get ready for our new arrival. Eliza and Davis have officially split up rooms and Roger is down with Davis now. I've been changing color schemes and decor as follows.

Last month as I was shopping for bedding for the boys, I got this idea that it would be really cool to have a Superhero room--I remembered seeing some vintage comic book posters on sale at Pottery Barn Kids and thought that might be cool.

Well, after some browsing-- and might I add a ridiculous purchase ($150 on Superman sheets that were returned a week later when I got some sense)-- I remembered a poster my brother had in his room as a teen--it had a picture of some really cut and manly warriors with the tagline, "Stripling Warriors--Mama's Boys." The thought came to me that they were probably the best kind of heroes for my boys to look up to. Superman, Spiderman, Batman-you have your charms, but I want some REAL men for my boys to look up to.

An internet search began, and I am SOOO excited about what I found. Check these out:

They are called Real Hero Posters. They've got Nephi, Enos, Stripling Warrior, Samuel the Lamanite, Lehi, Moroni, and others. . . . . .The pictures are really cool and modern, and each has a scripture in the corner. There is even one for us gals about Lehi's family in the wilderness-focusing on how awesome the women were.

I am so excited to get a few--I just wish I could buy them slightly smaller so I could fit more into the kids' rooms. Check it out for yourself: http://www.realheroposters.com/

My bro had that poster too.

Cool find! Chad just asked me if he could put up some of his own pictures, "like Star Wars guys!" Maybe I'll try to sway him in this direction!

I'm going to have to get some of those and I'm so glad they have Abinadi, Trevor's middle name.

Great idea, Camilla! Abby is always asking me during stories, "Did this really happen?" I'm so glad to be able to answer "yes" for all the scripture stories! I think these would reinforce that concept.

And good luck growing your fetus!! :)
