Shelly's shower

this weekend we threw Shelly a baby shower. It was a safari theme like her nursery. I am excited to say she had a great time and received a lot of wonderful gifts to spoil their little boy. Here are a few pictures from the shower.

Jessica and I made her a scrapbook where she just needs to fill in fun info. One page has a monthly calendar and the next page has room for photos. We'll slowly convert her into a scrapbooker.

this is everyone who helped plan the shower: kate, kathy (shelly's mom), shelly (in case you missed the pregnant belly), kris, and me.

Now we just sit and wait for that little boy to join us. hopefully he isn't on shelly time.

missed a few cute pics from MI

Molly's new toy

Molly got a new toy when we came home from MI. She had too much fun pushing around grandpa's new chairs for us not to get her a push toy. We couldn't wait for her birthday. She loves her new Little People Circus train. We haven't even given her the Little People yet. Thought we would wait to give her those until the train started to become boring and we needed to spice it up. So far, we don't need the Little People yet. She has learned to climb on to sit and scoot it around. She loves to walk around the house with it and on the deck. Plus, the music rocks. Gotta love circus tunes and animal noises. This video is from the first day she got it. She has since figured out all the buttons and stores toys in the seat compartment.

Pictures from MI

So these pictures are backwards. Starting from the end of our trip to the beginning.We were lucky enough to have an entire row to ourselves without buying a seat for Molly. That is so the way to go. The extra seat was a nice surprise. Molly was such a good girl sitting in her seat with the seat belt. Of course, she did play with the seat belt but that was cause it was fun to unbuckle.

More presents for me! Molly was spoiled with gifts while we were home. She enjoyed a nice ladies lunch at Mrs. Boudreau's house.

She LOVES to climb!
