BOY oh BOY

Give the Blue Team a big fat check cause one of my best girlies is bringing a sweet little boy into this world come January! We are completely thrilled for the E family and can't wait to meet the newest addition! I was honored to co-host the showers for Baby E and the glowing mama!

I had so much fun putting together all the sweet little details! My inspiration spiraled out of control once I found the perfect shower invitation in such cute signature colors!

All the decor coordinated to fit the Tiffany blue/golden orange baby theme down to the tiniest details. I made a matching Thank You display for the guest favor table.

I scored these great little frames that really did compliment
the invitation and thank you displays so well!

The guests' favors were my absolute fave! I found delicate opaque boxes, filled them with jumbo Tiffany Blue gumballs (perfect for the friends shower), then topped with a sweet golden orange bow. The family shower was similar although filled with Tiffany Blue jelly bellies to represent Amanda's beautiful baby bump!

My next DIY project was the baby banner ~ It's A Boy! I made each letter to coordinate perfectly with the shower invitation!


Coordinating all the way down to the yummiest cupcakes! These signature colors were so much fun to create. I called in my back-up girls for their helping hands to assemble the dessert table and they mastered it! D was thoughtful to put a touch of blue icing inside the cupcakes to represent the baby boy that we were celebrating, and as always I love to put the icing on the cake!

I was sure to make a BOY, oh BOY cupcake topper!

Cutting the Cake!

The other tasty treats were also a huge hit...
Thank You Hilary for your hard work!

The games were too cute...and also coordinating!

And, well, you can't have a baby shower without the adorable baby clothesline!

All the ladies had so much fun showering the Mama-to-Be!

This very proud grandmother is beyond thrilled
to spoil her very first grand-baby!

Amanda and Bryan, enjoy your sweet little man...

they sure know how to steal your heart!

Gators for the Goal

Our little mister has been wrapped up in sports this year. First it was T-Ball, now it's Soccer! The season flew by quickly, and G couldn't wait to add one of these to his trophy collection.

As always, we are VERY proud parents to an active little dude that loves to try new things, and is so full of life...and smiles!

We ended this season with a fun little game...
Daddies versus the Gators!

The boys whooped up on their daddies that's for sure!

G couldn't wait to bring home his 2nd trophy this year!

Starting mid-December Gavin will be playing a duo...indoor basketball and indoor soccer! Stay tuned for a busy mama with a tot who loves to always be on the move! ;)

Just Because

I love my husband just because...well, because he makes me smile. No scratch that. He makes me laugh, everyday! I love him just because he is such a great daddy. A great cuddler. A great kisser. A great optimist. A great listener. A great husband. A great friend. A great...everything! I love him just because, there are so many reasons to love this man!

The other day Gavin brought me the sweetest little package. It was a personalized Vintage Pearl necklace with our names. Something that I've been 'eyeing' for quite some time...and my husband surprised me with it just because!

Cheers to a HAPPY NOVEMBER!
