Shower of Blessing

This past weekend we got to bless daddy's cousins with a shower. They are close to bringing home babies through a foster to adopt program.  We are so incredibly excited for them... they are going to be amazing parents!!!! 

Here are some pictures of the celebration! :) 

Surprise visit from some Indiana family!!!! :) 

An updated picture of the brothers! :) <3

The party was.... a....  Success! :) 

When we came home, Brady was ready to lay and kick after being held all afternoon. :)  We tied a couple balloons to his leg.  He LOVED it! He kicked so hard they came off and floated to the ceiling a few times. He loved looking at them and talking to them. :) 

Bridal Shower Fun

A few weeks ago, we went to a bridal shower for Mommy's cousin and his soon to be wife. It was a lot of fun. Nana went with us. Here are some pictures. Allie girl was getting sleepy and you can tell in a couple pictures. She did really well. We had pizza and pasta and really yummy cake! Allie enjoyed watching everyone and looking at books and coloring. WE left her favorite book behind... booo! :( It was a fun day to celebrate Erin though! She got a lot of fun things for her house!!! :)

A Package in the Mail!!!!!

Last week we got a FedEx delivery! It was very fun! :) I waited until daddy got home and let him open it. (I can't have all the fun! :) Gotta share it with him too!) He opened it and found a box full of goodies for Allie and cousin Keldan. Thanks for all of the goodies Karly and Karl and Mary Lou! :) We didn't expect anything- but we are appreciative of your gifts and generosity! :)

We love you all!

An Open House for Allie!

On Saturday, mommy's family threw you a shower. It was a huge party! They did an Open House where people could come and go anytime they wanted. It was a lot of fun to see friends whom we haven't seen in a LONG time and family that we dont' get to see much either. Of course it was awesome to see close friends as well! We appreciated everyone who came! Allie got a lot of very nice things! Thank you very much for your kindness and your generosity! Allie is blessed- as are we!

Decorations- The shower was held at mom and dad's house, so the decorations were mixed in with some of Nana's beautiful fall things! :) The theme was pink and brown and polka dots.

The food was incredible! This cake was HUGE!!! And so cool! Her picture is actually edible! It was marble cake- white, chocolate and strawberry! Yum-o!!!!

This salad was very tasty as well. Mom just put somethings together... lettuce, spinach, strawberries, mixed sweet nuts, and poppy seed dressing! Very fresh and tasty!

Fruit and dip

I am annoyed at my picture skills today... mom did these cute sandwiches... she took bread and used a cookie cutter and cut little baby buggies out of the bread. I totally didn't get a picture of them.... grrrr!!! She had ham salad and chicken salad. They were ADORABLE! Hopefully she has one left and can take a picture of it for me. They were too cute!!!

A few of the guests and part of the party! I'd love to put everyone's pic on here to remember everything, but it would take forever and I'm sure I'd end up leaving someone out.

Kasie was even dressed in her pretty pink dress! She wasn't sure what to think! She knew something was up the whole time they were getting ready. She was pretty good considering all the chaos and company that invaded her house today. :)


We actually got to hold Allie some too... :) Not much- but a little! ;-P

She was done with being held by the end of the evening. She wanted to just lay and kick her little legs and move her little armies. :) She's so precious!
