Baby Blanchard's Shower

I had the privilege and honor of co-hosting a shower for one of my very best friends in the world, Christine, and her husband Kirk, as they get ready to welcome a little baby girl into the world! Baby Blanchard is due June 6, and Christine (as ALWAYS) is glowing with beauty and tiny minus a perfect little belly! 

Here are a few pictures of the decor at the shower! 
Her baby got a lot of Ellie's old clothes (and our sweet friend Eve who handed down all of her clothes to Ellie!). 
We made the baby her first ABC book with our art! This was something done for Evan at my shower, and we continued the tradition! And we also had little wood blocks that were colored for the baby.  Since this was a family-friendly shower, the kids got to do pages/ blocks these too! Cute!! 


Diaper cake and a calendar to guess the baby's birthday! 
Love when worlds collide and friends become friends!!! Baby Josie and Baby Blanchard will be super close in age - and both girls! Immediate friends! And Josie can tell her new friend that she actually got to go to her shower! haha! 

These two! 



Working on the ABC Book and blocks for Baby Blanchard!
Ellie cruising!!
LJ swinging! 

Ellie Grace and Scotty Grace (Chasity's little girl!)!  We saw them 6 months ago, but they didn't interact much at that age....  Love that they are actually playing now!! 

CHEEESE!


Yay! Parents-to-be!!!
Little poser! 
Hannah and Ellie!

Ashley and Ellie!!! 
The only picture I got of Evan... darn! Hah!
Husbands!! This may be my first couple's shower, but I think the husbands actually enjoyed it!

Baby-Birthday Predictor!! Funny that no one picked June 6- her actual due date! 
More posing...! 


Such special friends for a long time- LOVE my Coppertank girls!!! Hannah, me, Christine, Ashely, Chasity!!  'US' from 15 years ago would not have believed this picture!!! 

Christine with all the hosts! You can't even see her precious tiny belly!!! 

And now we just wait for our Baby Girl Blanchard to arrive!!! Congratulations to this beautiful family and best wishes on the amazing adventure they are about to begin!!!

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... Ellie's first little mini-crawls: h ttp://www.youtube.com/watch? v=xm3GTgjZXbU And she has mastered the roll-to-sit move! Yay! http://www.youtube.com/watch? v=0cmXfOE3GrA Five days of crawling... she is so obsessed with the t...

Mother's Day Celebrations

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...
