Pump It Up

Gavin LOVES to bounce around...SO, we decided to head over the bridge for a family jump night at 'Pump It Up'. Yes, that's right...jump time for the whole family!

Gavin wasn't the only one who had a blast...I know first hand that Mommy and Daddy had just as much fun! Just look at those smiles... :)

(Sorry about the blur...it's hard to capture a perfect pic when everyone is bouncin')

Polka Dot Showers

I had SO much fun planning and co-hosting a unique baby shower for my BFF. Amy and Anthony are expecting a baby this upcoming October but we have no idea if the newest addition will be a girl or boy...
I vote for TEAM PINK!

SO, to coordinate with the nursery we planned a black/white shower theme filled will polka dots galore and a touch of red accents. Oh, how I love all things coordinated! :)

The Invitation made by ME! It took a very long time but it was well worth it...

The Cake- a black/white polka dot umbrella (perfect for a shower) with the touch of red words welcoming Baby Orapallo!
AND a diaper cake...The Favors filled with Cherry Balls deliciously perfect to represent the SWEET baby coming our way...and the polka dotted accent ribbon.
The Centerpiece- I love how these turned out...beautiful and multi-functional! I filled the bottom of each vase with some of the deliciously sweet cherry balls, added 8 guest favors, topped off with fresh flowers, and added an accent polka dot ribbon! ADORABLE! :)
Guest gift bags- filled with some cute prizes, these coordinating polka dot bags were meant for a party like this!
Yes, by now you can see my obsessive compulsive disorder kicked in, but what can I say?...party planning is one of my favs!

AND now on to the GLOWING expecting mother...how beautiful!
Baby O was surely blessed with lots of wonderful gifts... I absolutely adore preggie baby bumps...just look at these lovely mama's! :) AND you have no idea how thrilled I am 2 be an auntie (AGAIN)... only this time 1 month apart!


CONGRATULATIONS Amy and Anthony! Babies are a BLESSING beyond words and I am SO excited for Baby O to make HER/his debut...coming soon! :)
Lots of LOVE to your little family!

Pillow Talk

Every year, we take G to the 'Annual Pillow Parade and Carnival' which is held in my hometown. It is such a nice family outing...YUMMY food and SWEET treats, FUN rides and games, lots of entertainment, and running into old friends.

Gavin had a blast with his little play buds- Jaxon and Kaydence







The best part about it is for Gavin to experience the same Pillow festivities like I did as a little girl!
