School Baby Shower

The ladies in my department at school threw me a surprise baby shower.  It was the sweetest thing, and I cannot say how much I appreciate everything that these ladies have done for me over the past few months.  I could not ask for a more caring and generous group of people to work with every day.  Both Baby Barnes and I are so lucky!

There was cake and lots of goodies to eat.







Our amazing department.





Lorie made Lincoln a quilt and a crocheted blanket.  She's just super talented.







There were LOTS of diapers.  These ladies knew what I needed.



Of course I had to have a photo with the cake before we cut it.  It was vanilla with pineapple filling.  My favorite!




I'm a really lucky girl, and they got me with this surprise.  I'll have to think of a million ways to pay them back. :)

Mer's Bridal Shower

My cousin Meredith is getting married in June to her true love, Casey.  He is a great guy, and my sister and I threw them a wedding shower.  It was an amazing day filled with great food, laughter among friends, and reminicing with family.  A beautiful day to celebrate a beautiful couple.

Church Shower

The ladies from Bible Truth Church threw a shower for Emmy and me. It was held at the home of Carol Cory. It was a beautiful garden party, and once again there was a great turnout. There were a lot of people there from out of town so I was pleasantly surprised! The food was great, the company was awesome, and I am so blessed to have such an amazing church family. The baby received so many beautiful gifts, and I am excited about putting them in her room!

School Shower

Some of my fellow English teachers threw me a shower at the school. Everything was beautiful, and I was pleasantly surprised by the number of teachers that showed up. That day at school was a crazy day so this was a wonderful way to relax. It really makes you feel good when people are so nice! :)

Family Shower!

My dad has a really big family, and they know how to party! In this family, a shower is more like a family reunion. Everyone shows up, and they have a good time. The shower was held at Raeassia Jacob's home out in the country. She has a beautiful house, and it the perfect setting for parties. She went above and beyond on this party. She and all of the other hostesses put together a shower that looks like it should be in a magazine. I have a whole album of pictures on Facebook, but here are a few of my favorites. See the cake? Rae made it!! If you every need a cake for a party, shower, or wedding, she is the girl to call!

Wendy's El Campo Bridal Shower!

As I have talked about in previous posts, my cousin Wendy is getting married. We are as about as close as two cousins can be, and we have grown up together. Some have described us as "thick as thieves." I don't think this is a fair description since they have no proof that we have ever done anything illegal. Anyway, she and my sister threw me a BEAUTIFUL lingerie shower when I was a Bride-to-Be so now it was my turn to "shower" her with pretty things. They were taking care of her intimate apparel needs in her hometown so I decided that a regular "home necessities" shower was always a good thing. We had the shower at the home of Raeassia and Darryl Jacobs. They have an awesome new house out in the country. The epitome of everything that is beautiful and classy. It was the perfect venue for our shower. There were twelve hostesses including Rae and myself, and everything turned out wonderfully. Rae made the most beautiful cake and cupcake tower. (You can see from the pictures that it really was a master piece. And BONUS, it tasted wonderful as well. If you have any cake needs, you really need to give her a call...everything she makes is awesome.) A lot of people showed up to the party, and the bride and groom received a lot of pretty gifts. I am so happy for Wendy and Jason, and I can't wait until the wedding!
