Belward Baby Shower!

This past weekend, Reagan and Tommy and I packed up the car and headed to Raleigh to attend Keith & Colleen's joint baby shower.  They were wonderful hosts and on Friday night they treated us (and Keith's family) to dinner at a local B-B-Q place called The Pit.  Reagan even got to test out the new crib in the nursery!  (I'm an idiot and forgot to take pictures of the nursery, but it's absolutely gorgeous and it made me sad that we didn't decorate one for Reagan.  Not sad enough to do anything about it, but anyway, I digress...)

On Saturday, friends and family came over to enjoy refreshments, talk of the new baby on it's way, and just show support for the Belward's.  All in all, it was a fun gathering and I think Colleen & Keith got a large part of their registry knocked out:)  Colleen looked fabulous as always, and Keith was looking pretty good too (and demonstrating his dedication to P90X by exercising with his new 20-pound weight...Reagan).  It was great to see Keith's family again and they are always a source of much entertainment.

Sunday morning brought even more good food (4 different casseroles and a giant fruit salad) and great conversation with everyone.  We were sad to leave, but grateful to be a part of the celebration.  Now all we have to do is get to April 18th!!  Congrats again guys, we're so happy for you and Reagan can't wait to meet her new cousin!


Check out the bottom/middle picture...Colleen is definitely ready for motherhood! And on the right/middle, Keith looks quite comfortable too!


Here's just a snapshot of the shower decor details that Lynsey worked so hard on.  She did a fantastic job planning and working with Jill & the caterer.  If she doesn't go into party planning, I might go behind her back and set up a website for her!

NC Girls' Weekend

Image
Since Jason is out of town, we decided to schedule an impromptu girls weekend visit in North Carolina. It was great to see Lynsey & Colleen and their families. Jessica, the girls and I drove down Friday night and got to Lynsey's just before midnight. We didn't do much, but hang around the house and play outside on the first day. It was relaxing and fun. Brian was awesome and played with the kids while Jess, Lynsey & I did a workout in their amazing home gym. Colleen came up with the boys around lunch time on Saturday. All the kids fawned over Miles, or as they have names him, Baby My My. I think Savannah really enjoyed not being the youngest for a few days. Saturday night, we ordered pizza, ate way too much, and Grammy Betty came over. We haven't seen her in a long time and it was wonderful to chat with her again.  The next day, we woke up to some snow! We played outside again and the kids played well together which was nice for us adults. Colleen and the boys ...

Bath Time Fun

Image
Typically, after Jason gets home and eats dinner, he is on bath duty. It gives me 10 minutes to clean the kitchen, set up his coffee and make his lunch for the following day. One day last week though, everything was already done, so I snuck in to watch the fun. We recently got some Mr. Bubbles for Reagan and she LOVED them. She's such a cheeseball!

Bath Time: PAHM Style

Image
I've mentioned it before, but I will say it again: I love Play At Home Mom !!! This site is the best for ideas to interact with, engage, and teach your children. Reagan takes a bath almost every night. She has the typical assortment of toys (rubber boats, cups, a turtle, etc) to entertain her, but lately, she just leaves them in the bag. I decided to introduce some new things during bath time and they were a huge hit! Here are some pictures from our "adventures in bath fun." First up: BUBBLES ! It's a bit too cold to just hang out in the yard blowing bubbles, so I decided that bath time would be the perfect opportunity for a mess free bubble party! I LOVE this shot.  Secondly, (and straight from PAHM), I added: WATER BALLOONS !!! She absolutely loved when I poked a small hole in them and they became "water fountains!"
