Showering the Little Peanut

By -
This past weekend, we had a baby shower at our house for one of the best couples ever. Kasie and Jeremy are expecting a little boy in just ten weeks!

We are so excited for them (and of course for us, because who doesn't love babies?!).

Jeremy's mom and dad flew in along with his brother and his family, and Kasie's parents went all out throwing the perfect shower for them.


Since Kasie loves elephants, we decided to go with a baby animal/jungle sort of theme. Linda, Bethany, and I spent a lot of time going back and forth and trying to get everything together. It turned out to be so awesome and really special because almost everything was handmade.


Kasie's mom made the cutest giraffe, and her dad made an awesome palm tree out of pineapples. They also put together some vine to string across the living room, and everyone brought little baby items to hang on it.




We came up with some fun games like What Baby Item Starts with... and Match the Celebrity Couple to Their Baby.



We made the cutest favors to thank guests for showering the little peanut.


Kasie's brother, Randy, and Rob made an adorable elephant cake that was thee most delicious chocolate cake with chocolate chips, ganache and pudding. (Can you say heaven?!)


We also got the cutest baby animal cake pops you've ever seen, made a mini version of the palm tree for the fruit salad, grabbed some sandwiches, and made some baby blue punch.

Visit The Sweet Pop Shop here.




Everyone started arriving right on time. We all enjoyed some lunch, chatted away, and had a blast with the games. Linda even got some baby bottles full of beer to get the guys involved. Everyone had such a fun time celebrating the upcoming arrival of baby Jakson.













The kids had a blast jumping in Gracie's bed and playing with all of their princesses. So cute!




We made sure to get pictures of Kasie with everyone, too.









Finally, it was time to shower the parents-to-be with more baby items than they will ever know what to do with. It was so much fun watching Kasie open each gift and hearing everyone ooh and ahh over the adorableness of it all.










The shower was so much fun. Jeremy, Kasie, and mostly Baby Jakson are loved by so many wonderful people. Now all that's left is to wait for the little guy to make his appearance, and we.can't.wait.

Love you guys, and Congratulations again!!

...Char was sleeping so peacefully Monday morning that I didn't want to wake her up. ...she made me a pretty picture at school with chalk. ...she continued her obsession with the easel and colored (and watched Toy Story ) while waiting for Daddy to get home from work. Hooray for panties! ...it got cold and windy again, but we played outside anyways. Isaac played catch with the neighbor boys, while JJ flew the kite and Char strutted her stuff. ...the girls danced around the living room. There is an iTunes Radio station called 'Frozen Radio' that the girls are crazy about. They play random Disney songs, and we listen to it all.the.time. (After watching this a few times, I realized that Char was trying to sing "friend in" as in "You've Got a Friend In Me".) ...Grace put Charley to bed by tickling her face. ...the girls got cake pops. Yep, for breakfast. ...we got to school a few minute...

Can you believe Grace is nineteen months old? Time flies so much faster when you have a baby! This month she got to go see Dr. Vu for a check-up and didn't even have to get any shots. She was super excited hanging out in the waiting room and even learned how to say "cars": At nineteen months, Grace weighs in at 26 pounds, 4 ounces. This puts her in the seventy-fifth percentile for weight. We absolutely love that she's so squishy. It's makes it much more fun to smother her cheeks with kisses. She is also 31 inches tall. This is in the sixtieth percentile. Baby must have gone through a growth spurt since her last check up, because she was only in the thirtieth percentile back then. This month Grace learned a lot of new words. My favorite is when we say her bedtime prayers and at the end she says, "aaaamennn". It's so precious! She's now obsessed with Elmo and says "Ah Ehmo?" for "Where's Elmo?". She's also go...

Charley turns FIVE!

Char Char, the five year old. That doesn't even seem real. This girl has grown and changed so much over the past couple of months. She's lost her toddler look and is total big girl status these days. (She does still have her chipmunk voice, so at least I can hang on to that.) Charley will be starting Kindergarten soon, and we have her orientation this upcoming weekend. I'm not ready for that. With Grace, I was so excited. Charley still feels like a baby to me. She, on the other hand, cannot wait to join her big sis and the Sebastian boys at school every day. Charley recently had a doctor's appointment where they told her she didn't need any shots, and she was so happy after anticipating them all day. She weighed in at forty pounds and stands forty-four inches tall. She's in the fiftieth percentile for weight and the seventy-fifth for height. She is in size five in almost everything and is wearing a size ten in shoes. Char loves her dresses a...
