Construction Baby Shower

About a month ago I put together a baby shower for my sweet sister-in-law Jessie. It was so much fun and I thought everything came out so cute. So I thought I would share a few of the pics with y'all.

Creative Juices

I am getting pretty excited for this weekend. My brother Brent and his wife Jessie are coming into town and I am throwing a shower for their baby due in August. Brent is going to school for construction management and recently received an internship with Oakland construction. A huge deal since they are awesome, and they have and office he can get a job at in Durango when he graduates. So in honor of this cute boy and his construction man dad I am throwing a construction baby shower. I love being able to have an excuse to be crafty and this has been so much fun getting all my creative juices flowing. I will post pictures from all the decor as soon as possible. So question: What are some of the best baby shower games you have played?

Happy Easter

Taytum was in love with Easter this year. Monday night we started it off by having the story of the Savior's death and resurrection for Family Home Evening. I was impressed when Taytum repeated to my dad the next day that we learned about Jesus and the tomb. Friday evening we dyed Easter Eggs for Taytum's first time. She ended up with multi colored hands from using her hands instead of the tool but she had a great time. Saturday morning we had breakfast and an Easter egg hunt at Monee and Papa's house (Grandma and Grandpa VanBuskirk). Taytum really enjoyed finding the eggs and we had a great time watching her. Her enthusiasm was contagious. She played with her cousin Addyson and the parents and grandparents enjoyed watching as the girls broke into their candy with great excitement. This morning the Easter Bunny left Taytum a trail of eggs leading to her Easter basket. She was so busy collecting the eggs she didn't even see the basket of goodies. As she was opening it up she told me that it was so cute and had a lot of ''oh's''. But my favorite was when she said, " Thank you Easter Bunny". She got to wear a beautiful dress to church and she enjoyed looking like a princess for the day.
