A Baby Shower for Lauren Ross

Our dear family friend, Lauren Ross (was Whittington) is expecting her first baby- a little girl- in a month, so we decided to have a shower for her. Gigi, Barbara Simpson and I hosted, although Gigi was unable to attend the actual event :(

We ended up getting a pretty big group together! Here are some pictures... 
The snacks!
 
A diaper cake made by Londa (which put mine to shame! This one looks professional!).
   
Hand sanitizer favors
 
Barbara came up with this ADORABLE idea- each guest got to make a headband for the new little girl, and we gave her a headband holder as a gift! She will have no lack of head flare!! 
  
We also had a station to for everyone to address their own thank you cards- one less thing for the soon-to-be momma to worry about! 
   

Time to open gifts- let all the fun ooo's and ahhhs begin! 

The diaper cake from the hostesses! Diapers, swaddles, flower and twig (goes in the 'grass') to dry bottle parts, baby shampoo and body wash, a lovey, and pacifiers all included here!
 
 
I have never seen so many precious Jamie and Jack outfits in one place!! This baby will be the best dressed little girl around! 
 

A group shot (some had to leave before this sadly!)... What a fun time though! Good luck Lauren- can't wait to meet that precious baby girl!!

Trampoline Park

Went back to Trampoline Park on Sunday... LJ has gotten so much better and more confident - guess all the practice time on his little trampoline is paying off! Still so much fun for Dad...  And the Mamas finally get in on all the fun!  Last time we went I was VERY pregnant and couldn't jump... but not this time! I see a frequent Sunday family outing in our future! A little sliding time... And video gaming! Too much fun!!

Ellie - Our Earliest Crawler!

Our little 'surprise' baby got us again and started crawling 2 months earlier than the boys did! She was close for about a week, and then at just about 8.5 months, she took her first crawls! She is getting the hang of it quickly... time to secure the legos that seem to always be all over the floor! First she started rocking on her knees, and doing little army crawls/ knees/ army crawl to get places. Then about a week later, we saw her first crawls. Within a week after those first crawls, she was all over the place!!! She will come find me in the kitchen if I leave her sitting in the living room and will venture all over the house! She's not fast, but she's pretty good! And so proud of herself! Here are some videos of her progress...

Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

Image
What a special and spoiled week I had!!! On Tuesday I picked these two precious things up from Champions:  Then the first celebration (well not including the Chick-fil-a mom-son date knight) was on Wednesday. LJ's class at WHPP had a Mother's Day Tea- and how lucky we were that Gigi came to town late on Tuesday night and was able to join me!!  Since Gigi was there (the only Grandmother in the room!), we got a table all to ourselves... and also LJ had twice the amount of work! He served both Gigi and me our tea/ lemonade, cookies, and fruit snacks!  He made me a very fun necklace and made me a new coffee mug all wrapped up...      I started crying when I read it: "This is the hand you used to hold when I was only 4 years old" with a hand print ned to it!!! How special!!  And a flower for Gigi!!!   This was outside LJ's classroom...  I am chopped liver with these two! Haha!!  We picked up Evan a...
