Baby Shower!

This past Friday I threw a Baby Shower for my friend Rachel and her baby girl Kaitlyn.

She's already a Mom to two little boys, so we had to celebrate the arrival of a GIRL!

Mya was in on the party to, she enjoyed the attention and didn't care that Mommy got to hold the Kaitlyn alot.
Haha! My friend Rebecca, bet she wouldn't like me posting this pic.
We played the Candy Bar Poopy diaper guessing game, too fun.

The guest of Honor, Miss Kaitlyn Lucille!

She'll need to grow into the headband & ribbon clip I made her, she's sooo tiny.

A lady from church made her these little cowboy booties....stinking adorable!

Should have taken a pic before the food got eaten. But I made yummy choc dipped strawberries with pink choc drizzle on top and choc cupcakes with PB frosting. And of course served some healthier items as well. I had orginally spent 3 nights making cheesecake pops, but then it was slightly undercooked and way to soft after they got dipped in chocolate. Jeremy didn't approve of me serving, so I threw them in the freezer and now I'll get fatter eating them. Oh well, live and learn.

Ava modeling the clip I made, turned out cute, but kind of bulky.

And I made this cute applique onesie for the baby.

I had to experiment and make a Diaper Cake, I've been wanting to make one for awhile now.

I forgot to take a pic of the final results, I put fake flowers around the top and couple on the other layers. I've seen alot of cute ones where they attach binkies and toys and other baby items, but I'd already spent enough money on the whole shower, so I kept it simple.

It was so much fun to plan and carry out, though I wish I would have gotten invites out sooner. We still had about 8 women and some kids come to play with Ava, so it was good!

What we've been up to...

Gone Fishing!
Miss Patriotic Mya was waving and dancing for us...waiting for the Fireworks to start.

KaeLynn reading to Mya. She's going to make a good Big Sis pretty soon..

In love with Smoothies! Yum-O!

Yes I'm cute...now give me that camera!

This is a HUGE Sturgeon fish that we saw at the Bonneville Fish Hatchery!

The pic doesn't do it justice!

In front of the Bonneville Dam, kissing some flowers.

Man, it's windy by the Dam.

The same time we arrived, so did a HUGE busload of Amish peeps.

(See the lady grabbing the guys butt? Is that allowed with them?? :)

Grandma Frey & Ava, checking out the fish swimming up the fish ladder.

Poor little guys work so hard!!!

(And more Amish in the back..had to include them in my pic)

Ava & Daddy~heading out of the Zoo

HI~I'm sleeping, no leave me alone.

Ava's FAVORITE animal at the Zoo...I think I've posted that before, like the last time went.

But this is all she wanted to see, and later in the day she was sure we had missed it and wanted to go back. Not a chance girl!

Grandpa Frey and his only Grandchildren!

I know you all wanted to see a pic of the Bear enjoying his lunch!!!

It was a little chilly when we got there, so she stole Mya's blanket.

You're rocking it Ava!

ROAR!!!! Beware, I'm on the move!!!

Just thought this one was cute.

And this one too...love baby bums!

We had Jeremy's parent here for a visit for 6 days. We kept busy and wore us all out. The girls love having Grandparents to play and spoil them. I think Mya grew quite found of Grandpa Frey. Ava was won over by the candy and Ice Cream they bought here. They wanted to get the girls something, so we went shopping and picked out matching outfits for the girls. I forgot to take a pic of them together wearing it, but it's the one Mya is wearing on July 4th. We are only a few weeks away from a 2 week trip to Southern Cali, Las Vegas, Arizona, UT & ID. I'm so not ready!!! But it's going to be fun and exhausting. I'm so excited to see friends that I haven't seen in awhile and of course all my family along the way!!!! :) And best of all....sitting on the Beach, playing in the sand and riding some waves on the Boogie Board. Woohoo!

(And just for my record....Mya is now 10 months old, crawling all over, and pulling herself up on everything. She recently started creeping along furniture as well. Her 1st tooth-O- came in at 9 3/4 months old. P- is just about to break the skin. She is still so happy and content. Except when Ava drags her around and attempts to pick her up. She's starting to fight back and grunts/ or screams at Ava when she wants to be left alone. Her and Ava have screaming matches all the time...just for the fun of it and it's pretty dang funny, though deafening. She is loving all sorts of finger foods now. Ava is still the same...sassy, disagreeable, cute, loud, ACTIVE, & crazy. But we love them!)
