Amy's Baby Shower

We were finally able to hold Amy's Shower for her on Saturday.

Even though the weather was a little tricky, we had it as planned and the turn out was pretty good. Thank you everyone who helped make this a special day for Amy and Little A.J.

The cake and the cupcakes. Whinnie the Pooh is her theme so the cake was done in the classic Pooh colors.

The food table. Thank you Sonya, Savannah, MJ and Elsa for helping set things up for us. Sonya got a little more than she bargained for when we had to shovel snow out from the door so we could get in the building, but she volunteered to shovel so a BIG THANK YOU to you.

Amy talking to everyone about a game to play, with her Mommy-to-be Banner on.Everyone listening to directions for a game.

Some of the guests.

Co-workers and friends.

Dawn really getting "into" the dirty diaper game. They had to determine what was in a diaper by looking, smelling or whatever means they could come up with! The gift table

Amy very tickled over something that was said. She received many nice things that will definetly be put to good use in a few short weeks. Thank you everyone.

Preparing for the Baby Shower

Well we were hoping to have pictures of the babyshower to share by now, but because of the weather we had to cancel it last Saturday and it will hopefully go on this Saturday!

We were getting all the decorations and party favors ready the last week of vacation, Riley was still here so she was helping get the things put together.

Look at that intent look on her face! Well I guess Amy has a pretty intense look too! They were both concentrating pretty hard!

We got all of the table favors filled and ready to go, now we just need Mother Nature to cooperate with us!

Hope to see everyone this weekend!

Happy 2009

Happy New Year, Everybody!

No she hasn't partied too hard, she was just being silly showing off her headpiece that she made at Nana's house!

Brenden being so seriouse about the toy he's checking out.

They made paper airplanes, they called "fliers" and were testing how far they could go. Riley showed Brenden how to hold his so it would fly instead of just go thunk on the floor.

Riley posing for her picture, she gets in a "take my picture mode" sometimes and you have to do it right. She told me, no don't hold the camera that way, hold it this way. I couldn't hold it sideways to get a closer shot!

She was very engrossed in making her card for mommy and daddy, we brought some things upstairs for her to do because it was pretty cold in the basement to work down there.

Her entense work on the headpiece that she made. She's threading the beads on the string with a plastic needle.

Finally, pulling the bead all the way to the end of the string.

And welcome to winter, again! We got about 10 inches of snow since Friday at noon. And it is still snowing now at 7:oo p.m. Saturday! The poor tree in the back yard doesn't even look like a pine tree!

Here's our table outside the back door, it looks like a fondont cake on a cake plate. But that it about 10 inches of snow on the top. Thanks to all of that snow we had to cancel Amy's shower today, and reschedule for next weekend. It's supposed to be cold, but maybe not so much snow!!
