A Baby Shower For The Little Slugger

As promised, here are the photos from my sister's baby shower. We went with a loose sports theme for "The Little Slugger".

I ordered all of the printables on Etsy, printed them at kinkos, and then cut them out and put everything together at home. It was very easy as long as you have simple tools like a paper cutter, hole punch, tape, etc. The tissue poms and other decorations were made following simple ideas found on pinterest.

My sister made this awesome diaper bike. Isn't it amazing!
Cookies by my talented sister.
Red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese frosting.
Another pinterest inspired creation by my sister!

We played a few simple games, one that involved guessing the size of her pregnant belly with string and another where you had to guess the baby food flavors (It's harder than you'd think!).

Little "helpers".
One of my favorite things that we did was paint onsies for the baby. We bought a variety of sizes and colors, paints, made some freezer paper stencils, and let everyone have at it.

What's going on over there Keri? LOL!
Here are some of the finished products. LOVE them!

Yes, my daughter painted her soon-to-be boy cousin a pink star. That's how we roll.
Pac-Man. My fave.
While the women hung out inside being crafty and awesome the men were outside celebrating the way they know best. With cigars and beer. 


Congratulations Heather and Matt! Can't wait to meet the newest addition to our family!

Maternity Photos

My sister and brother-in-law are expecting their first baby this summer and over the weekend we hosted the baby shower at my house.  We decided to take advantage of them being in town and headed outside to do a quick maternity shoot. I'll post the shower photos soon, but for now, here are the maternity shots.

One of my favorites.
Another favorite.

And just for fun, here are some of the unedited outtakes....


Thanks for being such a good sport Matt! :)
