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!!

Last Week...

...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

Mommy-Daughter Night

Thursday night, Isaac went to play poker with some of Sunstate's biggest customers (and soon to be customers). Since he left around 4:30 and didn't come home until well after Grace and I were asleep, we got to have a whole mommy-daughter night! I get to spend every night with her, but having quality time with just the two of us is pretty rare. This means that nights alone with mom get to be extra special treats for both of us! When Daddy left, Grace asked "ah da da?" about one hundred times. Once she got over the fact that he was gone, we had a lot of fun. We started the night out watching Wall-E and building castles out of Mega Blocks. Then, Grace helped me unload the dishwasher while our dinner finished cooking: She's the best helper ever! We had pasta, corn, garlic bread, and cut up Beddar Cheddar brats for dinner; some of Grace's favorite things: After that it was bath time.  Once she got all clean, we played with her Dora foam soap. Grace really

Junior Ranger Day

Saturday was Junior Ranger Day at the Water Safety Center at Lake Mead.   Isaac's brother, Zacarias, was working and invited us to come down and check it out.   We're always up for anything that the girls might have fun at, so we got ready and headed down to the lake. It was right next to where my parents dock their boat, so it was pretty easy to find.   When we first got there, Grace was a little shy and skeptical about everything. It took her a while to warm up.   We found Uncle Zac by the fire truck and Grace hesitantly climbed inside with him:     She was a little afraid until I took her to the front of the trucks and showed her the lights. Then she thought it was "sooo cool!"       Charley was pretty curious and kept wanting to check everything out:       Grace saw Uncle's helmet and thought that was pretty neat. Then Daddy checked it out, too:       Since Charley was so curious, Daddy gave her a b
