Friday night we had a baby shower for my cousin, Stephy. I was in charge of the decorations. I LOVE the internet - I found a couple of really cute ideas online - and they turned out even better than I hoped for! I just wanted to share them...in case anyone can use some ideas - who knows, maybe these ideas have been done over and over a thousand times and they're just new to me *shrugs* oh well.
Here's my beautiful cousin, Stephanie! She's such a cute pregnant mama! This will be their first child - they're having a girl and decided on the name McKayli Elizabeth *swoon* I think it's absolutely beautiful! She's due July 3 - but will likely be more like a Father's Day gift than a firework :)
...and of course, the sock rose bouquet :) I whipped this up while watching Lost Thursday night. I think they turned out pretty good!In other news, sorry I've been such a bad blogger lately! I feel like my life has been a whirl-wind lately! It seems like I've got something to take care of EVERY night of the week - which leaves little time for blogging (although, if I'd nap less in the afternoon, I'd prolly have more free time in the evenings... *pshh* like that's gonna happen!)
I did manage to get away Saturday night though. Heidi and I had a chick-flick night at the cheapie theater and watched 27 Dresses - WOW - that was a great show...and just what I needed! I totally cried when...(hi-light between the perens ONLY if you've seen the movie - I hate to be a spoiler!) (when her dad gave Tess her mom's wedding dress! *ACK* I was so sad for her - the wench didn't even like the darned dress! AND then she cut it UP?!? What the HECK! *grrr* I'm a sentimental fool so this really rattled my cage. I was FURIOUS!) ...anyway it was such a good show. I loved it!
We're leaving for Utah on Thursday for 10 days. I'm really excited about this trip. Time away from the office and the daily grind is just what I need right now! I cannot wait to be in my parents' house! That's really what I'm looking forward to most. They live in the tiniest little town in now-where, Utah - and there really isn't much to do down there - but there truly is no where else I'd rather go to unwind and relax...well, not on our budget at least *lol*
I can't wait to sit up late at night in the living room with my mom, everyone else in bed - in our pajamas, with our blankies, sipping hot cocoa, chatting, laughing and giggling, making up scenarios about our dreams for the future, dad yelling from the other room, "ReNee, come to bed!" *lol* There's really nothing like it!!
BUT, the whole reason we're going to Utah is to see my baby sister sealed in the Salt Lake Temple to her hubby! Ahhhh...I'm so totally excited for this! I can't wait to be in the temple with her! And, then the next week we'll be having a baby shower for her. An occasion I might have missed otherwise. I'm glad these two very important events are happening so close together so I can be there for them. I love you, Cher! I've always been your biggest fan! Ever since I was 8 years old, waiting [impatiently] for you to be born - and now we're waiting for your little guy to get here! I'm so happy for you, sistah!

CUTE shower ideas! Way to go with the socks, they look beautiful! I want to go to Utah and hang out at your parents house too, it sounds like such a fun time! ;) Our girls had fun together today in class, Katie came home and told me all about it!
I think your decorations were cute! I've never seen any of them before. You'll have to tell me how to do the sock bouquet. I'd like to do it for my sister's shower. So cute! Have a good trip. There's no place like home!
Decorations are soo cute! Way to go!
And have fun in Utah! I'm glad you will get to hang out with your Mom like that. Those are the best times aren't they?! I miss my mom!!
