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.

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!

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!

A Wedding in San Antonio

At 35 weeks of pregnancy me, my hubby, and my parents drove down to San Antonio to attend a wedding. The groom is the son of my parents' high school friends. They have two sons who are the same age as me and my sis. We have known them forever and even gone on vacations with them.

At the church...my dad and Korey.

This was an interesting setup since we faced them from the side. The reception was held at the Serengeti outside of Boerne, TX. Here is Korey talking to an ostrich.

A camel! There were also zebras on the property but they were off in the distance.

One of the table centerpieces.

Now let me just take a minute to address how HOT it was out there. The funny thing was it was cooler away from the covered pavilion where the reception was vs underneath it. Here is my HOT hubby!

My parents trying to stay cool.

By this point my hair was pulled up off my neck and my feet were incredibly swollen.

The reception pavilion.

Best wishes to Michael and Monika!
