Our Nephew Jude's 1st Birthday

 I can't believe Jude is already 1 year old.

 I remember being in bed in our cabin in Silver City when we heard a knock on the door. It was late at night and It was a co-worker telling us we had an emergency phone call from our family. 

I thought, "Oh no, who died?" I prayed as Joshua took his flashlight and walked down to the Silver City Store to take the phone call. A few minutes went by and my heart was pounding dreading to hear the bad news. I heard Joshua's foot steps on the front porch. Joshua opened the door and exclaimed his brother Matt called and said that he and Jenna were having another baby. I was relieved to know that no one in the family had died and that we were going to have another Niece or Nephew. 

This little boy has a wonderful smile that lights up his whole face.

All of Everly's living Great Grandmothers.

Jenna did a breakfast theme for the food. 

 Our cousin Shauna who is OBVIOUSLY pregnant and Paige and Jude's Mama Jenna, who is NOT so obviously pregnant as well. Both on their 3rd baby.  

Joshua and his Dad look like twins in this photo.

Wine and Cheese Party

Getting ready to go out is a big event in our house. We turn on loud music and go through our clothes. Our house usually ends up a disaster while we end up looking neat and beautiful. We have this one mirror that is only big enough for one model at a time and sometimes the models get a little frisky about who gets a turn to stand in front of it first.

Everly's Baby Shower

My Mom threw me the most beautiful shower! She spent so much time working on it. She planned a bunch of fun games and made all the decorations herself! It was so pretty. The theme was NEST and the colors were brown and pink. My Grandma came down and helped my mom prep food and do all the cleaning. My Dad worked out in the yard and had the place looking spotless. The time and effort they put into this really blessed me. I can't thank them enough. It was so wonderful seeing all these ladies I have not seen in a while. I am so thankful for everyone that came. I was just SO blessed on that day. Thank you Mom! Enjoy these pictures.

My body was so swollen on the day of the shower due to the heat and due to the fact I was retaining water because (ok I admit it) I ate a bag of hot cheetos the night before. I was really not feeling well after that and haven't done it since!

My friend Cesilee made all these cupcakes to look like little nests. They were super yummy. 

Julie Pasco made all these sandwiches and pinwheels, not to mention a bunch of other food. Such good food!

 Smelling diapers to see which melted candy bar is inside. 

All of us in line according to our due dates! :) Heather just had her baby girl this morning! I can't wait to meet little Hadley Lane! Only 13 days left until MY due date! I can't wait! Thanks to all of you who came to the shower! Everly has the cutest wardrobe now.
