My Woodland themed Baby Shower!

Finally we get to MY baby shower! It was last Saturday and super awesome. My good friends Bentley and Jessica totally out did themselves. The decorations were fun, the food was good and they kept it as eco friendly as they could. :)

PS this is a long post with a lot of photos.

The invite said, 

"Were wild excited and happy to say

A special tiny critter is on his way!"

So cute!

Jambo trying to get his drink on

Yay for a cloth diaper wreath!

There were photos of Neil and I hanging all around the party, most peoples favorite photo was the one of Neil and I with the argyle sweaters on.

I love the cupcakes. They look like little nests!

Jessica made this awesome table runner!

Jessicas mom made this quilt for me so everyone could sign it and send Jack love messages! (PS: I know you read my blog, so thanks Jessicas mom !!)

I love these little girls. They are so friendly and lovey.

I love Mary Ellens face here..

Charlie was having a good time

Angie painted me 3 woodland murals for LJ's nursery! So awesome! I have such talented friends!

Stella really liked to shake Charlie, poor kiddo. It was pretty entertaining though

Diapers make awesome hats didnt you know?

After this she took the "stuffing" out and laid on it. She TOTALLY knew what it was. Super smart little girl

Isnt my dress the cutest? And its not maternity (Old Navy $5!)

One of my good friends came down from Virginia Beach to come to the party. Oh yeah.. by the way this is the most awkward photo EVER. I love it!

He also took most of the photos during the party so yay for him. Thanks Michael for coming AND for the photos!! So glad you could make it!

This is me with Jessica and Bentley, btw not one good photo of all 3 of us where they arent grabbing my boob. ;)

Most AWESOME quilt ever

Well, Id just like to say. I am blessed with a pretty awesome mother in law. Were pretty alike which makes me laugh since supposedly "you marry your mother" or father or whatever. I was always nervous Id end up married to a dead beat.. or Id be a single mom cause thats how my mom raised me and I never knew my dad.. so there wasnt much to base it on. Anyway, my mother in law is great. :) She also quilts and knits and crochets and all that fun crafty stuff. When she found out I was pregnant I think she sent this kiddo a present once a week! So this is the first blanket Ive received Im just behind on blogging it all. Anyway, this one was too AMAZING to not blog. 

She asked me a while back what sort of fabrics I wanted in a quilt she was going to make. I already knew weather it was a boy or a girl I wanted a Dr Seuss quilt. I was ecstatic when the new Seuss line launched. Im a pretty big fan of the Dr. She mixed together fat quarters from the Celebrate Suess line and and Cat in the Hat line Kaufman made and it turned out AWESOME.

This is the best view of the whole quilt I could get by myself. Isnt is awesome and lovely and bright?

The back looks just as cool.

Gotta have some of the Grinch in there.

She bound it with black and white polka dots which I really think set everything perfectly.

Nicole's Dr. Suess themed baby shower!

I have been looking to the first of our squadrons baby showers for quite some time. I also knew the hosts were going to pull out all the stops. We seriously have some talent when it comes to throwing parties. I wish I were as talented as them.

Everything was so fun and bright. Im a big fan of Dr. Suess myself so I loved all of the little details that were added. All of the food had cute Dr Suess inspired names.

HELLO CUTEST CUPCAKES EVER!

Happy Mama and one of the hostesses!

Cale is going to be a lucky boy! He'll be a very well read little one too.

How cute are these gloves for TICKLING!?

and as you walked out you got a book clip! Genius. Ive been wanting to read some in bed recently and since I dont have a lamp(dont judge) it makes it hard. So I was quite excited about it.

Kelly, Barbara, and Courtney you guys threw a great shower! It was lovely!
