Baby Shower


Last Sunday 4 of my most precious girlfriends, Christi, Liz, Kelley, and Leslie hosted a very special baby shower. Thank you LIZ for opening your beautiful home for another great party. The afternoon was full of so much laughter! The room was full of wonderful friends that span a lifetime, so many different seasons of my life were represented in different faces and friendships that I cherish. There are no words to express how much I enjoyed celebrating this new season of life w/ these girls. Baby H was showered w/ lots of great essentials: onsies, mittens, caps, toys, meds, baths time necessities, diapers, car seat base, books, infant seat, exersaucer, the BOB stroller!! Thank you for all the wonderful gifts!



Leslie's crafty work. I love the diaper cake. The flowers are still surviving at my house.

The Bunny cake. Christi was sneaky and had Tommy email her a photo of the baby's bedding so Angie ( My favorite cake lady) could create this cute cake and might I add, yummy!! Angie makes the BEST CAKES! I use her for EVERY occasion. This was a sweet surprise!



My Precious Hostesses : Leslie (I adore her. Fast Friends. Great Friend for Life) Kelley Ann (My Soul Sister), Christi (BFF), & Liz (I love hanging out w/ Liz. Very talented. Great Conversations, Huge Heart, Great Friend for life, Servants Heart)



My special helper, Chloe. She was so excited to help open gifts for her baby cousin. Thank you Chloe bug.

Monica.. the WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER.. of the fun game we played during the shower. We were not allowed to say "Baby". If you got caught saying baby then someone could steal your clothes pin. I was doing pretty good and had racked up 4 pins, then Sneaky Monica waited for her moment, caught me off guard, and got me to say baby. As you can see, I am not the only one she got... She was on her A game.


Family: Coco, Chloe, Joy


WMHS: Nikki, Christi, Robin & Melba (I have known Robin since elementary school & melba since Jr. High) Robin lived the next street over from me growing up and we were best friends.. we hung out every day growing up. Melba was one of my best friends from Jr high on and remains a very precious friend to me. I met Christi & Nikki our freshman year in high school. Christi and I became BFF after graduation and I could not ask for a more loving friend/sister.

Lacey (Kelley's sister and my friend), Kelley Ann (my soul sister), Monica (Melba's sister and my friend) and Melba. I love being w/ Monica & Melba because I always laugh so hard. Ya know the true from the gut laughs. These girls are special. Kelley, Monica and Melba are my go to moms for new parent advice. They rock!!!


Brenda Kay. My beautiful, talented friend. BK is the friend that keeps me on my toes. She is the one that God placed in my life to sharpen me just by watching her live her life. I am blessed that all my girlfriends sharpen me, but there is an extra something special that I get from BK.



Cayce.. Just about the cutest thing. Ms. Cayce is ever so sassy and stylish. So much fun to be around. We need to do some double dating w/ our husbands.


Heather. Huge heart. Sweet friend. Shout out to her mad skills @ Softball. Heather was invited to play in the softball world series this year. Can't wait to hear all about it. I miss flag football days!

Can you say Hello Beautiful! Jennifer is beautiful, her smile, the sparkle in her eyes can only be matched by the sparkle she adds to the party. Always laughing, always loving life, always fun to be around. And a BIG CONGRATULATIONS... JEN just got engaged! Jason is one Lucky guy, but I know he has to be special to win Jen's heart. We are so excited for JMO.


Brittney... another great friend! How did I get so lucky w/ all these beautiful friends... Inside and Out. Really!!! Britt has such a servants heart and is a joy to be around.

Most of us girls met at Fellowship Church. We had the best singles group!!! These girls made that season of life so much fun!!


Johnny. AKA: Bubba or HRH. LOVE Johnny!! As I have said before Bubba is a great friend and one that makes me laugh all the time. Smart & witty. I have known Johnny since my high school days. One of the family. And he is already spoiling baby H.

WHAT A FUN DAY!! I felt so loved and know that Baby H will have the best "aunts" and "uncle bubba" to love and pray for him/her. Thank Ya'll SOOOO much for celebrating w/ me and helping me get prepared for the baby.
