Okay just be prepared to see a lot of pictures! Most of these are for my family that don't live close by! Last night my wonderful sister in laws Dusti and Robin threw me a baby shower and it was really wonderful I must say! Here are a few friends that were able to celebrate with me!
Jamie, Janalie (due in 3 weeks), Natalie, Janae and Kathrine!
Jamie, Janalie (due in 3 weeks), Natalie, Janae and Kathrine!
This is my sister in law Kadee, my mom (sorry your eyes are kinda closed) and Ruth (pretty much another mom of mine)
This is my Powell side of the family, Jennifer, Robin (due 6 weeks after me), my mother in law Terrie and Dusti!
We played a fun memory game where you would match 2 words (ex: twin boys, if you found both matches your gift was "Mike N' Ikes" or if you found both matches of Breastfeeding your gift was "Milky Way") it was really fun!
We started off the evening with Italian Sodas and they were SO Yummy!
We had a sit down dinner and we had Rigatoni's yummy Pasta with Chicken or Sausage and there to die for Salad and Yummy Bread! I could eat this daily I think...
How cute are these plates and napkins, perfect for the beach/surf theme huh! I saved one of each for his baby book!
This is the table decor, fun shells, candles, flowers, sun glasses and flip flops - So creative!
Here is a closer look at the flip flops and glasses from the table centerpieces! Love Them...
They had posted Facts about pregnancy and parenting and also parenting tips, SO Funny!
My mom was kind enough to make a delicious cake and I loved the decorations! So festive, thanks mom!
Here are some of my gifts, of course I couldn't photograph everything, but I really appreciate the generosity of those who came and supported me at the baby shower! We really had a wonderful time! I love this bib, I hope it's true
Crib bedding
very needed, onesies, lap pads, wash cloths, soap and mittens
SO cute outfits, funny ones, surf board ones
Being that Melissa lives in Laguna she wasn't able to attend the shower, but sweetly mailed the funnest gift, this cute frame for babies room, and the surf board bib below!
The last 2 photos are from Dusti and they are adorable, I think the orange onesie will be his coming home outfit from the hospital! The tag says up to 7 lbs so let's hope he can squeeze into it, Ashlyn was 8 lbs 9 ounces so I have a feeling he will be as big or bigger!
I really feel blessed to have such great friends and family! It is wonderful to feel the support and love from so many... A HUGE thanks to Dusti, and Robin for putting this all together and to Terrie, Jennifer and my mom for helping with the food/dessert and celebrating this little guy that will be here in 8 weeks! Love all of you...

Sorry I wasn't able to make it. It looked like a lot of fun though and the decorations are definitely very cute.
Love the beach theme. SO cute! Congratulations.
How fun!! It is so fun to see pics of everyone. I love the beach theme too.
Andrea!! I am so glad that you found my blog, it is always great to catch up with old friends. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I have been taking a blogging time out for the last while as I was really busy and in the middle of a move. It looks like you guys are doing great, your daughter is adorable and good luck with number two on the way. What does your hubby do? Your shower looks like it was a lot of fun! Let's keep in touch!
I have a gift for you!...Hopefully i can get it to you before that little sucker comes out. Bummed i couldn't be there.
We are huge fans of Italian Sodas! There is always at least five flavors in my cupboard. But, we did switch and start using 7up instead of the carbonated water. That way we use less syrup and then I can use the 7up for other things!
ANDREA, I felt like I was there just from looking at all the pictures. Thanks for thinking of me and sending an invite, I would have loved to see you and your cute belly! Congrats, can't wait to see the baby pics.
Hey Andrea! I just found your blog through a little blog surfin'. Your family is so cute and you are such an adorable prego momma. Best of luck with the baby when he arrives. Your shower looked so fun and I loved the theme. I am going to add you to my links if you don't mind. Check us out at www.sjwimmer.blogspot.com.
