The Nursery

When deciding NOT to find out the gender of the baby it makes it quite difficult to decorate a nursery. However.... I'm extremely happy with what we came up with so far.

In the beginning...... we had a small but adequate space to work with.



Hank and his manly construction skills





My painting skills :)

BABY SHOWER # 3

My third baby shower, which was in Wyoming, was perfect. Both men and women had a great time and I really enjoyed being able to visit with old friends and family!! The food was great and it was sooo much fun watching the guys play a baby shower game!



"Guess the Chocolate in the Diaper" Game



Fruit Tray!!! Yummy!!

The "Diaper Cake" that my brother "Hal" and Bailey made me! They did an AMAZING job!



A picture of my "undying love" for opening gifts in front of people

 As some of you know.... and some of you can sympathize with me on this, I extremely dislike opening gifts in front of people. It’s NOT that I’m not appreciative; it’s just that it makes me feel greedy and showy when I do it. I was trying REALLY hard to avoid having to open gifts in front of people at any of my baby showers. However, this backfired and I ended up opening gifts at ALL of them so far. (HENCE my mother in the back on the right giggling) At this party I was SOOOO glad to have Bailey there to push me along and make it a better experience. J


Hank and I fulfilling my mother's CREATIVE idea for party favors. Each family got to take home a potted flower. :)



My most WONDERFUL, hopefully soon to be sister in law, Bailey.

Olivia (the youngest guest at the party) and my Mother. I think she is ready to be a Grandma!

My brother brought one of his 4 children (aka dogs) this is Bliss. The other three - Roxi, Loki, and Lilly were playing outside.

Karen- One of the sweetest ladies ever!

BABY SHOWER # 2

This baby shower was fabulous!! It was so nice to get to hang out with some ladies for the afternoon. My mom was even able to make it for this shower at Peggy's house. We had delicious pasta salad, brie with cranberry's, lemonade, and chocolate cake!!!

So many cute items for the baby, as well as a cute little flower pot and picture frame for myself!!! My co-worker Chelsea, who also operates the “Rusty Sparrow”, has the CUTEST ideas and her gift started the ball rolling for my new living room area. I’m having her redo an old chair for me to match the picture frame and flower pot she gave me. In addition to those pieces my mother and I had been thrifting earlier that day and found the perfect desk. It’s kind of like a roll top desk but even better. J

Two shower's down and two to go!!!!

BABY SHOWER # 1

Cake

The baby shower turned out absolutely wonderful!! All my coworkers were fabulous and I got so many GREAT items. I even got a much needed pack n play from several of my colleagues. I definitely feel spoiled rotten.

The cake was delicious as well and it was a great start to my baby shower season!!!
