An Idaho Baby Shower

My Aunt Margie and Sue threw a baby shower for me in Idaho. It was such a sweet and fun party. They threw it in the back room at Polo's Cafe, Which is this cute yummy little Mexican place in Burley. Since I crave Mexican food constantly now that I am pregnant it was perfect. They did the cutest owl theme and it was just a wonderful day. I got to see family I haven't seen in quite a while, Got to combine my mom and dad's sides, and got to see a few cherished friends. Over all it was a really wonderful day and such a thoughtful thing for Margie and Sue to do. Also, Rhylee and I were spoiled rotten. Mostly Rhylee. LOL.

We got a bathtub and bath supplies, lots of adorable clothes. I so want to pull her out and play dress up for a few hours, and we got lots of cute books. So many wonderful, thoughtful and useful things. Thanks so much to everyone who came. It meant so much to have you all there.

Autumn's Baby Shower

Mindy planned a baby shower for Autumn that we had at my house. I was frustrated and exhausted and didn't think it was gonna come together, but it did and it actually turned out pretty nice. I had workd really hard to get my stuff made for her gifts. We have had so much going on that I am surprised I was able to get it finished. I am excited but at the same time being pregnant is kind of frustrating. You have limited energy and cannot do nearly half as much as before. And we have so many things going on that we are trying to do and finish before school starts, and then I am basically useless Mon-Thurs becuase after a 10 hour mentally exhausting day I have nothing left when I get home. But, at any rate I did finally manage to get the stuff done for her party. I made her a diaper cake, and though it was my first attempt I think I did pretty darn good. I actually wanted to keep it. LOL.

Here is the diaper cake

The blanket I made for Autumn

The burp clothes I made for Autumn that match the blanket I made for her.

The diaper cake with the bath set I put together. I put nightime baby bath, lotion and powder together in tule and then added a binky that matched.
