Showered

I have AMAZING friends!!!! They threw me the BEST shower! It was so amazing to feel so loved! I am so excited for little Rhys to get here!!!! My friend Katie made everything so wonderful!! Thanks so much girls for such an amazing shower......how did I not get pictures with my girlies??
The theme was cute as a button.......primary colors like we are doing for his room!!!
Lots of family came too! I feel so LOVED!! I have loved being pregnant with Missy she is due with her first about a month before me!!!

It was so fun to get some new clothes! After three older brothers we are basically starting over so it is nice to have some new things to look forward to!!!




Aunt Lisa made the cutest blanket. It is so soft! Can't wait to wrap him up in it!!

Thanks everyone for coming and celebrating with me! I am so excited for this little guy to come and join our family! Only a few more weeks!!!
Thanks again to all my amazing friends for all they did!!!

To my peeps......

I've said it before and I will say it again.....I have the very best friends! I am in awe of these great women. My friend/neighbor adopted a baby last week! What better way to celebrate than an impromptu girly girly shower. This is where the friends come in, from bringing chairs, desserts, bow stuff, buying the group gifts, making gorgeous blankets. I mean come on how did I get so lucky!!! You guys are AWESOME!!!


Here a few pictures before the party got started. How did I not get any of the actual shower.....not my finest paparazzi moment!

My mantel, I was so happy with the fall look, really has nothing to do with the shower, so onto to the good stuff.



I never knew I could find someone who appreciates a bow more than me until I met Charise, so when I found out it was a girl it was all about making "Savvy" some bows to take home......and it's true the BIGGER the better!


This was only my second name banner....I LOVE my cricut! And even better Charise took it home for the babies room!


The food, seriously THANKS! Bethany I want that pumpkin recipe! SOOO yummy! (and I don't LOVE pumpkin pie type stuff)



Thanks ladies for helping, offering to help and most of all letting me get SOME of my girl ideas on your new babies!!!

phew.....

This week was all consumed with baby showers, sewing and being busy busy. Last Friday was our Enrichment activity it had me stressed to the max. Then Jeff was gone to BYU for the Florida game....too bad they got killed. But he assures me he still had fun! I did a ton of sewing this week. I am just making stuff up as I go along so it has been fun to experiment with different things.

Saturday after celebrating Cari's baby we headed down to Sea World. We had a good time it wasn't very crowded so we had a good time and then of course we headed to El Indio. It was a great weekend. I just love spending time with my cute little family!

Baby Girl.....

WAY back in April when Lisa told me she was having a girl I told her I was doing her shower. You see Lisa is Ryder's surrogate mother. Ryder loves her she has held him since birth, got him to take a bottle and listened to his endless cries and still held him. Seriously he loves her.....he even still tries to sit on her lap even though baby girl is now taking up most of that lap. Any how I love to throw a party especially a girly pink one.
When Lisa told me she liked green and pink I was so excited because if I had ever had a girl it would of been lime green and hot pink!!

I had a fun time decorating even though these pictures are from the next day you get the idea......Thanks Martha Stewart for the tissue paper pom poms.....these made such a difference and were so easy. Definitely a party staple from here on out.


I seriously LOVE costco every once in a while they sell some great things for entertaining and they are such a deal... that is how I got the plate tier and water pitcher. I love to add bows to change it up for the theme!



Me, Lisa and Shaylyn......

Angela, Kelly and Charise......
If I haven't said it enough I am SOOOOO lucky with my group of friends. I have been so blessed to have such amazing friends who are so supportive and I know I can count on. I love them each for there wonderful attitudes... really I believe it takes a village to raise a child. They are so awesome. Thanks girls for coming and partying it up with me!!!



The fabulous gifts....seriously this is going to be one well dressed baby girl!!

Thanks Lisa for letting us spoil you!!! I can't wait to see her!!!
