Baby shower, Blanket, and Pictures

This past weekend I hosted a baby shower for my best friend Theresa! She is expecting her first baby BOY, March 10! We had the shower at the fire station in Battle Creek, and had some cookies and appatizers! I was also very excited about the 'diaper cake' that I made! For those of you not knowing what a diaper cake is, is its just diapers rolled up to form a tierd cake and then you can decorate it however you want. I didn't go too overboard beings it was my first time, but I still think it turned out super cute!! Everything turned out really good and Theresa got a lot of nice things! I forgot my camera in the mix of trying to get everything ready that morning, but luckily Theresa's fiance was in Ida Grove so was able to stop at my house and grab it for me:) HA... Now its just the waiting game on Mr. ??????? to get here, Theresa and Jeremy are keeping the name a secret until he is born:(

Also while at the baby shower one of my friends' mom brought Miss Kendra and Blake a present!! JoDee had come to see me after I had Kendra and told me that she was in the process of making a blanket and that she would get it to me as soon as she got it done!! I had actually forgot about it until she came up to me with the present!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it... It is a 'rag quilt' I think is what they call them!! But it is so versitile and will grow with Kendra for years!! Blake also got a little something too, JoDee made him a Spiderman pillow case!! Of course he is in LOVE with it!!

To end our very BUSY weekend (well, my busy weekend) we headed to Sioux City bright and early Sunday morning to get Miss Kendra's pictures taken!! We have been trying for a month now, we finally got them done though!! They turned out SO CUTE and there were so many good ones I wanted them all, but opted out of that because I knew that Jodi could do the same pictures for me:) I don't have a scanner so I just took a picture of the picture for you to see:) HA... Whatever works right?!?!
