baby shower

-
I have the best friends ever. Seriously. They threw me and Baby Girl a baby shower. It was PINK! I love pink, so this is not a problem with me. I thought I'd share some pictures from the shower. Please ignore my facial expressions; I look silly in most of these pictures (we'll blame it on the pregnancy).

My friends, Rachel & Kim, who threw me this awesome shower to welcome our girl!

This beautiful quilt not only matches the baby's room but it was made by my good good friend/mentor, Linda.


My storytime boss, Kim, made this beautiful blanket. I love the pattern and colors. Very girlie.


The food was delicious. I could eat that popcorn every day. The watermelon was perfect. And the leftover gumballs have made the boys very happy, even if they were pink.


There was a headband making station. This girl's bald head is going to be beautiful! 


A pink ombre cake. It was SOOOOO yummy!!!


and beautiful!


Baby naming game. Not sure if we had any contenders but some good laughs for sure.


More trying to think of names. Big A's grandma came to the shower; I really appreciate her support always. It means a lot! Everyone who came (and those who couldn't make it) are so loved in my life. 


My little sister got baby the book "Vader's Little Princess." Hilarious book and the boys have read it probably 15 times each since getting it.


My friend, Jessie, said this Avengers shirt screamed our baby as she was walking by in Target. For sure. And the boys have worked out that baby will be Wasp for Halloween. 


Baby's first dollhouse from college friends Jessica & Kate. They brought their baby boys (cousins born 20 days apart, I believe) with them. It was nice to meet their sweet guys. And Moose really wants to play with this dollhouse - this kid and baby toys that make noise.


Baby Girl got some beautiful clothes! She is going to be well-dressed.


This little doll and teether are from my friend, Judi. Very unique and so cute. So tiny!


Diaper cake made by Kim. I love diaper cakes; they are creative and functional.


My parents watched our boys while we went away for this weekend, our first "babymoon." While we were gone, she had the boys make these butterfly prints for baby's room. Not 100% sure which wall they will go on but it will be nice to have something from them in her room. Love them!

Overall, this was the nicest shower. Just fun. I got to laugh with family and friends, stuff my face with good food. I felt so loved!!

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

something

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
