Baby Shower at School

A diaper cake!

 Today was the finale in a three day marathon of baby shower goodness! My first grade team hosted a baby shower at school with delicious treats and wonderful gifts!

Goofy poses of course!

Lots of great gifts!

Diane even made a surprise appearance (there in the background). She was on my team when I first started teaching; she retired two years ago. We all called her our mother hen :) All her chicks will have babies now!

Even though it's blurry...you can still see the most awesome team ever! 

I forgot to take pictures of the cute cupcakes...they were orange and turquoise frosted and delicious!! They also made yummy sherbert punch!

I already have a list of the last few essentials that I think we need before Baby Reed gets here. I have both my registry coupons ready too! All that's missing now is the baby :)

Baby Shower with Family!

Today I had my second baby shower! This time it was with my family and Clint's family (and a few family friends too!). I had a great time seeing family that we don't get to see often and I always love when Clint's family and my family can get together :) All together we had about 35 people there!

First we had some delicious snacks and cake/cupcakes!

Fox in Socks theme!

 We played a quick game about both of our birth stats.

Everyone had a minute to check out the poster and then remember them for a quiz! 

Then we started with gifts :)

 Wowsa!!

My stepmom put on the invitations to bring a book instead of a card, so we received LOTS of books :)

Mrs. Reed's Star Student...so cute!

Lots of cute owl things!

Also lots of cute Dr. Seuss items!

Many silly photos!

 My dad was the paparazzi for the party so of course I had to give him lots of great photos :)

A couple of my uncles and my dad brought everything across the street to my house so I didn't have to! Bonus!!

Just a rundown on the many gifts we received: a jumperoo, highchair, activity mat, lots of toys, lots of clothes, lots of books, bath time gear, diapers, wipes, wipe warmer, Boppy, car seat protector, lots of socks, tons of bibs, couple gift cards, giraffe mat, burp rags, a couple blankets, and some cash for the baby bank!

We received so many great presents and are very appreciative of everyone!! I can't wait for little baby to use all his wonderful gifts!! Now...to just get everything washed and put away! Good thing my maternity leave starts in 4 weeks!

Baby Shower with my Friends!

Last night my two good friends Augusta and Rebecca threw Clint and me a baby shower for our friends! Check out the awesome cake that Rebecca handmade!! It was delicious!

Augusta made the adorable owl decorations herself!! My friends are so crafty!

Clint's mugshot in case he ever goes to jail.

Yummy taco bar!!

Friends!!!

Stations of games! As Clint said, "You can tell that teachers put together this party! Are we all in station groups??" You can also tell that Clint pays attention to my teacher talk :)

Baby bottles filled with different beers - they had to guess which was which.

Augusta took baby pictures of both of us and copied them. Then she cut them into strips and you had to create a baby picture of our future child!

Sippy cup races!!

Baby food mystery! Jared was totally into the baby food tasting! However, he was beat by a true momma - Jessica.

The newly-parent game. Clint pretty much blew this one up. We had to eat baby food if we didn't match answers.

Prizes!

Some of the awesome gifts we received! Lots of essentials!

A great start to the baby's library!!

We also received a few outfits. the doorway jumper, and a couple cute hooded towels - can't have too many of these for when the little baby starts swimming! 

This afternoon I have a baby shower with Clint's family and my family! Stay tuned for more pictures :)
