Jenny's Baby Shower

Little Micah David, the little one that so many people are proud of!!

He is wrapped in nothing but adorableness!
Today I am going to share with you the party that was put on just because of him. :)

The Schultz' gladly let us use their house for the big occasion, being that it isn't quite so far out of the way as our house is. Friday morning found us getting up early and making sure everything was ready to roll. Roseanna Yeske was a big help with the decorating and getting things ready.
Being this was the first baby shower I have ever put together, I was very happy to have the help of my friend Meda Hyde and my sisters and Mom to help me out. With everyone helping here and there things seem to just fit right together.

Sister Mary (Micah's Mom) brought all the food, which was a great help!

Not to mention the adorable cake she made. I didn't get a picture of it before someone was eager to get it cut and ate, but you can still see how cute it really was!
The food was delicious!

We have a lot of babies either here or on the way in our church group right now, two have just been born and three more are on the way. What would we do with out babies?!
You win the game, you get a gift! 
One of our games was to guess how many pampers were in the diaper cake. The answer: 156 pampers. Winner: Jenny guessed the right number to the exact!!

Abigail - sister to the twins and cousin to Micah David.  Carol - Micah's little sister and aunt to Micah David. 

The room filling up with people eager to find out what they have to do.

Unscrambling words...
Jenny and I kinda came up with some crazy games for this shower. At first I wasn't sure how it was all going to work out, being that these games would keep us pretty busy, but people seemed not to mind and everyone really enjoyed it!

I was able to get some videos of the games, with some help of others, so that you can enjoy it too. :)

Baby food feeding race. Wow, it was quite the mess!

Azul and Jenny the winners!
Baby bottle race! Can you suck faster then everyone else?

We made it so that we ended up with four winners out of the baby bottle race. Those four people went into two groups of two and had to dress a baby , blindfolded and one arm behind the back. The two that did it in the fastest time won.
Hannah and I ended up in one of the groups, but were a few seconds slower then the winners, Jenny and Natalia.

Wow, enough pampers and wipes to last her a year!


This picture wasn't at the shower, but it was so cute I just had to post!
Well, that's all for now! Looks like we are headed for another busy weekend..

A Diaper Cake

Before I post about the baby shower, I thought I would post about the diaper cake Joanna and I made for Jenny. 

We got the idea off of internet somewhere and really liked it, so we gave it a try!

Her theme was Winnie - the- Pooh, so we collected things from here and there over the weeks and came up with quite a few things. Aunt Sharon also got things for it too.

It was surprising how many whinnie the pooh things we found.





It takes lots and lots of pampers!!!

You begin by rolling pampers and holding them together with rubber bands to make the different layers.




Then you wrap blankets around the outside of the rolls. 

We made our cake four layers, but you can make them smaller.

Here it is after we got all the things put on it.

It turned out really cute and I think that it is a perfect baby shower gift idea to give to someone!

A Wonderful Christmas Weekend!


  Well, we had a wonderful Christmas! How about you guys?
   We spent Saturday at the Schultz' (our adopted grandparents) and their family the Yeskes from Texas. We had a awesome meal, and then volley ball and games afterwards. It was such a blessing to be able to be with family and friends around this special day.
  Christmas is a special day for all of us!. Exchanging gifts, laughter and love, but we must always keep in mind the real meaning of this great day that everyone looks forward too. It's about Jesus birth that we truly celebrate this day. God sent us His ONLY Son to earth as a Christmas gift for all of us. To take away our sins, so that they might be made as spotless white. "...though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be washed as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." We have been more then blessed with such a Christmas Gift as that!

Eating an awesome lunch!





Look at all the yummy food.
