Showered With Love

Since we have been in Houston, I have been blessed to have made some great friends in a short time! My friend Lauryan and Anna threw me the cutest baby shower. It turned out to be a absolute beautiful day outside, and I loved spending it with all the beautiful ladies who where able to make it to the shower. 



They did such a great job with decorating, the theme of the party was Kate Spayed. I think they did a great job, its also how I would like to decorate our nursery one day! My friend Lauryan is such a good baker, and made the most delirious cream cheese filled cupcakes, YUMMMMMM. they were a hit for sure. 
Along with the cupcakes we had yummy blueberry strudel  muffins, a yogurt parfait bar home made quiche that was amazing thanks to my Anna husband Travis!!!! It was all so cute and clever, and very yummy.By the end of brunch I was so full, but just wanted more. ( good thing there was some left over to take home :) ) 

It was all so well put together and so cute! I could not have asked for a better/ cuter shower. Jonny was even able to come and hung out with the other husbands. We played some cute games to drawing babies without looking, to guessing how big my belly really is! ( Jonny wasn't even close on that game, he was way too small.... maybe he was just trying to make me feel better:) who knows )
I got so many adorable outfits that I can not wait to put our little girl in.. She will be in style, and the cutest baby girl around! I am so thankful to have made such good friends here in Houston who care enough to throw Jonny and I a shower and show us such support. I think she has enough tutus and bows to last her for a year ;).

North Carolina Suprise Baby Shower !

When we were in North Carolina during the summer, all my wonderful sisters, sister-in-laws and mother put together a little surprise for me. We had just moved back to Houston, Texas and was still getting to know the ladies in the area, and trying to make some friends. I take pride that I am hard to surprise, but they pulled it off. I had baby sat my sisters boys that morning going on all kinds of adventures. That night was suppose to be girls night and guys night, I kept asking what we were doing and no one would give me an answer. I just assumed we were doing some kind of craft or something. Before we headed to girls night, my sisters, mom and I were able to go out to a nice dinner, it was a little fishy, because they seemed VERY RUSHED. We walked into the restaurant I had not even looked at the menu and they were ordering!!! ( I think I ended up just getting the first thing I saw) I drove with my sister Vanessa while mom and Jessica drove separate, for some reason, Vanessa was taking me all over the neighborhood, like I didn't remember what it looked like !! stalling for sure, but i had no idea..... The thought of a surprise of some sort popped into my mind, but I thought to myself...( WHO would even come) and quickly dismissed it. Well was I SURE wrong!!! 
This is the video of me walking into the room, being totally surprised by the love and support of all these wonderful woman in my life!! I didn't know what to say, It made me feel really special that my family had put this together, just for me and baby girl! 
All the decorations were all so adorable, thanks to my two amazing sister in laws Shannon, and Kaytlin! I love anything nautical  and they hit it on the head!!!! Also the food was fantastic to pink chocolate covered popcorn GOODNESS, to knotted rolls there where to die for, along with pink lemonade :). I was so surprised to have so many women show up to support us in our growing little family! I felt such love, and can not wait to share that love with our little baby girl. I am truly blessed with the best family, and friends, I could not ask for anything better!
