Mandy's Shower

Yet another baby having a baby! ha! :) Mandy and her hubby, Dathan, will be welcoming sweet baby Elijah any day now! Here are some pics at her shower last month....



The mama-to-be!

Look at this cute cake!

Loved the nautical theme as well as everything on this table :)

ADORABLE gift idea from Annie. Got to love Pinterest! :)

Gift table! (or rather gift piano!)

Seems like these are VERY popular decorations these days.....Love it!

Look at this simple flower decor on the vase. Awesome. Those little blue chocolate balls were awesome as well :)

Sara made the awesome cake! So talented!

"Our Fort"


Fruit Stand

The girls and I went to the fruit stand and when we got home I brought all the bags in from the car and but them on the kitchen floor so I could put everything up. I went to the potty or something and then came back and began to put the stuff up in the frig, etc. I realized that all the things I had purchased were not there! I was so frustrated. I just assumed I had walked off without a few of the bags of items when I left the store. A few minutes later I walked back to the sunroom and found this.....
Gabbie on the cash register and Jocie checking out with all my "missing" items :)
Don't forget to bag them!!
Gabbie ended with "ok, well you have a nice day ma'am. Thanks for shopping at my fruit stand. Come back soon." Hilarious!

HayHay & GiGi visit

HayHay and Gigi came down for a visit at the beginning of June and I learned one thing for sure while they were here....HayHay LOOOOOVES him some seafood! Especially a gigantor seafood platter!
Before.....
After....wowzers.
Reading some books...


HayHay & Gabbie have a special "technological bond" :)
Too cute!

Stewart, Summar, and Avery Rose!


Back at the end of May some close friends of ours, Stewart and Summar, came though town and spent the night with us on their way down to Orlando, Florida for a Summer Beach Project they were leading.
It was SO fabulous to see them ANNNNND it was even more fabulous because we got to finally meet their baby daughter, Avery Rose, for the first time! So awesome :)

Precious....

Love you, friend! So glad ya'll got to come visit!!

Katie's baby shower!!

I mean, all these babies having babies! I can't handle it! I guess they are not babies anymore really....just still feels like it to me :)....truth is- it just makes me realize how old I'm getting! ha!

Katie and Ben are expecting sweet little Oliver in just a couple of weeks from now! Several weeks ago we had a shower for her in here in Mobile. Fun times!

Sweet Katie and one of her besties, Eva (who is also expecting a baby boy!)

The decorations were awesome! Katie's aunt, cousins, and sisters did such a great job!



YUM!

Adorable!


Best.Punch.Ever.

She gave all of the hostesses an amazing candle (which I burn daily in my kitchen b/c it smells SO amazing!) 

Gift time!





Jillian, Katie, and Eva- Love these girlies!

Katie showing off her new baby bag which has straps like a backpack- very cool.

Momma brown-head bear with all her baby blonde-hair bears :))

After I had the twins, Katie helped me out SOOOO much when we finally got home from the hospital-I mean, an insane amount ANNNNND she saw my complete psycho-ness self due to sleep depravation and post-pardum depression....God Bless You, sweet friend :)

Oliver's Grandmomma's!

Can't wait to meet little Ollie!!


So here is Steph doing some "figure out if it's a boy or a girl" trick on Katie's tummy (yes, she already knew she was having a boy, so Steph was attempting to show that her theory was correct :)
Trying it on Eva...can't remember what it said!?! She just found out she is having a boy...were you right, Steph??
