Waffletini

This past weekend my sister-in-law was in town so I told her I would be making waffles for breakfast.  I decided to fancy it up and make her feel like she was at a B&B.  We'll disregard the fact that she had to sleep on the couch.  :)

I used my Classic Waffles recipe and put this together in just a few minutes.  This could be an appetizer or a dessert or you could even serve it at a brunch.  It's versatile, delicious, and I'm almost embarrassed to write out the recipe because it's just so easy!  To eat, just simply dunk a waffle wedge into the glass of syrup.  No forks needed! 

Waffletinis

1 homemade waffle cut into fourths
Maple syrup or pancake syrup
Fresh fruit

To assemble, pour syrup into martini glass.  Cut small slit into wedges of waffles.  Insert over the edge of the glass.  Serve with fresh fruit.

Our Last Baby Shower - Animals and Outdoors

We had our last shower on July 3 and we had several family and friends come up for it. Again, it was held at my parent's house which was awesome because that was the second shower in a row they had held there AND their house is the best place to host parties.

This is on the back porch. Korey is holding our nephew Brandon. His brother and our SIL came up for the weekend.

The fabulous food! There were sliders, veggie/dip cups, chicken and pineapple skewers...
pb&j sandwiches for the kids (cut out like stars!) and chips and dip.

Here is the drink station. The blue stuff is blue koolaid mixed with ginger ale. Notice the tablecloth flapping? The wind was picking up due to the approaching storm.

The cute animal cutouts which I stole after the shower and we are going to put into Hunter's room.

All the gifts which eventually had to be moved inside once it started raining.

The happy couple! Plus one (not two like some people think). Sand buckets held the dips....

and the fruit.

Here is everyone eating outside. Thankfully, we were able to be outside for a couple of hours before the rain came.

One of the games we played which was guessing the baby food. You could taste it and smell it. I did horrible on this game.
Guess the chocolate bar melted into the diaper. I know my chocolate!
My SIL...
Fabian, the minister who married us, is testing out his chocolate knowledge.

The kids enjoyed the pool.

Becky, Fabian's wife and Christry sitting outside pre-rain.

And here are the clouds rolling in.

At this point the party had to be moved inside. Here is the dessert station in the kitchen.

The yummy cupcakes which my sister perfected!
The diaper cake my SIL made me.

We had a fabulous time and we're so grateful to our family and friends for their support! And thanks to my sister, my SIL, and friend Regina for putting together such an awesome shower.

Family Baby Shower

Last weekend my aunt, cousin, and Michael's mom (see San Antonio wedding post) threw me a baby shower at my parent's house.

We borrowed the sign from the church shower!

The cake was delicious! My hubby finished off the leftovers.
The kitchen table setting.

The baby bathtub filled with drinks.

The dining room table filled with food.
The fruit baby carriage my dad carved for the shower.

The tulip centerpiece.

The cute veggie and dip cups. These would be great at a stand-around cocktail party. Not that I ever attend any.

The entrance table in the foyer.

Some of my family watching me open gifts. Check out the cute diaper cake!


My mom opening her grandma gift.
Me and my sister!
The "flowers" are rolled up booty socks! Too cute.
Me and my mom.


The hostesses...my cousin Sherry, Carolyn, my aunt Shirley, and my mom.
Thank you everyone for an awesome shower!

Church Baby Shower: Candy Theme

On Saturday the girls from my Sunday school class at church hosted a shower for me and Leslie at Shay's house. Our due dates are only a week apart. She is having a girl and I'm having a boy!

The name signs decorating the mantel. These are so cute! Thanks, Erika!

This was sooo cute and I don't know if I would ever attempt it! But I know who to pay to make me one! Thanks, Lori!
The invitation cutely framed and made by Andrea.

The candy theme decorations.



The lollipop bouquet! And I guess I didn't get a close-up of the cupcakes but they are in the background. They are decorated with a H and an A.

Me and my mom.

In the rest of the pics I'm sitting on the other side of the room on the couch opening great gifts!





Thank you all for an awesome shower!
