Baby Shower

Please meet Alicia, momma to be of Audrina Faith Carter, my first grandchild. Audrina is due August 8th but the doctors say she can come at any time now. The baby shower was last Sunday and here are some pictures I'd like to share with you all.....

This girl did not wear ONE piece of maternity clothing this whole pregnancy. Makes me sick. lol

My niece Isabella standing over the indoor pond, do you see the fish? You can't see but it goes underneath both sides of the walkway.

These are the cutest hand towels

Alicia's girlfriends mom made this cake. It was so delicious, look at the little onesie.

Just look at these "onesie" cookie favors, aren't they just adorable?

I made these pacifier candies from life savors and jelly bellies!

Picture of Nick (daddy to be) 6 months I believe

It was a VERY hot day, so most of us stayed indoors but the view from the deck was great.

Can you see the deck pool down below? Is that cool or what!

The colors of this display were so vibrant I loved it. She put the dips in the pepper shells!

Here are the Great Grandmas

Jackie left a comment on this photo that I seemed to be the only one who knew this picture was being taken. hahaha

Alicia's mom Carolyn on left and her cousin

This lovely bassinet belonged to Alicia when she was a baby and was restored and adorned with gifts from Alicia's grandmother and Aunt Audrey.

Gifts, gifts and more gifts.... The array of colors are wonderful aren't they?

Lovely blanket and pillow hand made by her grandma in Montana.

These are the prize gifts because they are "Carter's" bags, (our last name)lol

Jackie thought the baby needed a bear so she went to Build A Bear and made one! Isn't it just the cutest!

She was saying she need more lap because the gifts kept falling off. lol

This one of my favorites. It says, "Daddy's Bling Bling".

Another hand made quilt, just lovely colors.

Have you ever seen a baby spa and shower? What will they think of next?

There were four of these at the start of the party........Some one was having a good time and it wasn't me.....I had to drive. Bummer.

Thank you all for stopping by and visiting this post. My next post will be of Audrina herself so please stay tuned....and have a wonderful rest of the weekend.

Bridal Shower Part II

Here is the long awaited part 2. Life has been so busy that I was literally afraid that I would not get these posted so I am doing to with minimal to no comments. In the last three weeks I have been to a bridal shower, family gathering, surprise birthday party for Jackie and a baby shower!!!!! Got a cup of tea anyone??

Janeens notes for the shower

All the wonderful favors Janeen made. They were totally awesome!

Jenifers great idea to put all the salads inside larger plastic bowls filled with ice! Kept everything fresh and cool with no worries.

Our signature two tierd personal wedding cakes! Orders anyone?

Jackie and Brian

You definitely can't have two cooks in my kitchen. Jenifer and I need more room for our animation.

This weekend I will hopefully upload Alicia's baby shower pictures. She went to the doctor today, Wednesday, and she is 50% thinned and has lost her plug last Sunday so doctor said probably within the next two weeks! Goodness, I need a break.
