Showered With LOVE

Last night we went to Kat and Tay's adult CO-ED baby shower and let me tell you: it was a darn good time. Honestly, that's the way these things should run from now on. Men at a baby shower equals hours of endless entertainment. First off, they have no idea what anything is used for. And by no idea, I mean no idea. They shift uncomfortably in their seats the moment "ooohs, and ahhs" are uttered, and generally try to make jokes the entire time to offset their terror at having to be involved in any way shape or form. I cannot tell you how awesome it was to see our friend Tay opening all the gifts realizing moment by moment that life as he knows it is about to change. Being on the other side of having babies, Ty and I felt like old pros. And when asked for advice, Ty's short answer was and I quote, "Just pretend like you're asleep." Nice. (p.s. Ty, I'm on to that trick. Get a new one.)
That being said, our good friend Naomi was in town and we got to see many of our college friends which was pure joy. We love you Kat and Tay and we can NOT wait to meet your new addition! (I, for one, am chomping at the bit to know the sex...6 weeks!)





Have you seen a cuter prenant lady lately?

Dear Loyal Readers,
Of two things I'm sure:
1. This title makes no sense unless you are a twihard...
2. In light of #1: HTB will be the first to click on my link...
But I digress, as in the book it seems as if my little ladies are born with a set of teeth already. Harper is cutting her first teeth BEFORE four months. They are not even the bottom teeth, but the eye teeth! Pearson did this too, I just checked her baby book. I am weirded out by this. They really should not be able to bite this early, but alas. Watch your exposed veins world, I have vampire babies!
Sincerely,

Pinks (In Drag)

We went to the drag races at Pacific Raceways with our family tonight. A classic to be sure. Ty's uncles, aunts, cousins, Casey, and his MOM raced their cars. My favorite moments were: when a helmet clad Corinne smoked Pete in the first go-round, the little girls cheering their hearts out for Casey and Gama (who was BTW wearing a stellar racing outfit complete with silver point-toed flats, and how happy Grandpa Lang was watching. It was a great family outing, however, next time I am DEFINITELY leaving my little baby at home (it was LOUD, PTL I brought ear plugs...) That being said, Pearson LOVED it and I'm sure she will want to go back all too soon. Yet another preview of her impending love of bad boys who race for pinks.

Worth a Thousand Words

Here is a cute video of Pea "taking" Harper's picture...had she been facing her "camera" the correct way...here's the photo she might have taken:

Thinking Cap

We love this handmade hat of Harper's and she LOVES wearing it...you are too cute miss sweet baby H...

Brush Your Teeth With a Bottle of Jack

Mama's tired. My high school girlfriends were in town last night for a bachelorette party. I want to remember three things:
1. Manzo & Kt's signature dance move (see below)...

2. Kenna, the air mattress, what happened? We were on top of the world and when we woke up all you had to say was, "And we've sunk." and I knew by the way my hip felt that we were laying on just the carpet.
3. How time, marriages, kids, or moving doesn't change the dynamics of our friendship. I love you girls with a heart of gold.
Dancing, some drinks, and one HAPPY bride. Congrats Briezy!

Babies on the Brain!

Since she posted, I'm posting... Officially, I'm going to be an aunt again! Hooray!

Harper will have a cousin who is less than a year apart-we couldn't be happier for Andrea and Casey, congrats!!! Can't wait to meet the newest little Bell; he or she will be much loved <3

p.s. that makes the count 9: ladies who are friends and family that are pregnant and tonight we are going to a party where we find out the sex of Luke and Chelsea's baby!! (Not me, don't be getting any ideas from my post title-this shop is officially closed for business.)
That said, it's a Baby BOOM and we are loving all these new blessings:)
p.s. It's a boy!!!!! Congrats L & C
