Youth Baby Shower!

We officially had our first baby shower this past Sunday night, April 19th. Our awesome youth group threw it for us and it was sooooo much fun. See below for all of the fun and games!

This was the gift table. Well, the youth gave us one big gift, that was awesome by the way, (see below). This is also where the phenominal diaper cake was that Lindsey did an excellent job with. And on the right are some cards and a box. Each person at the shower wrote a personal message for me, Robert, and Charley and put them in this box. We are not allowed to open it and read them until we come home from the hospital. So for now the box is on a high shelf in her room, so mommy won't be tempted to spoil the surprise :)

Here is a close up of the phenominal diaper cake discussed above. Also, you will see there are baby pictures of Robert and I on either side. Kind of weird, but we were able to find a very similar picture of both of us doing the exact same thing (holding this yellow brush) around the same age....guess it was meant to be :) Also, the black bag sitting in the front is actually a bag of pink and green M&M's. But they're not just any M&M's, they have mine and Robert's faces printed on them with "Mommy to be" and "Daddy to be" on the other side, where the
"M" usually would be....very cool!

Here are some of the tables of the youth and adults. This is some of the girls.

Our table with big fat preggo mommy :) Notice my plate is empty!

Erik, Lindsey, and Julie! (and Liam)

The boys!

The fabulous dessert table! Note, if you haven't noticed, the theme is pink and green. So naturally there was a pink and green cake on the dessert table. I wish I had taken a picture of the inside. The cake was actually a pink and green checkerboard design....thanks Jennifer Morganthall! So yummy, and cute!

Game #1: See which male can guess the baby food by taking a little bite of it. Soooo funny! They thought it was quite disgusting, but as it turns out, Wesley was pretty good at this game.

Erik feeding Robert. I think these were prunes.....Gross!!

Game #2: For those of you who don't know, Robert will tell you that our "perfect" child will come out already potty trained, so we are not going to even have to worry about diapers. But just in case that is not true, we had a who can change and clean the baby the fastest contest.

Someone placed a little surprise in Robert's. It was actually melted Reese cups...so gross looking, but his reaction was priceless!

Of course Mommy had been done with her baby for several minutes at this point. I was just looking on to see what the heck was taking Daddy so long :)

Done! He was so proud of himself. Notice the clothes are no longer on the baby. He decided to just take them off completely, thinking that would be easier and cleaner.

Game #3: Can you guess who this is? This game was just for the girls. Some of the girls brought in pictures from when they were a baby and we all had to see if we could guess who they were.

Our Big Gift! We like to call this Charley's Cadillac. It is a very nice Eddie Bauer travel system. Thanks so much, we can't wait to be able to use it!!

Game #4: Can you guess how big Mommy's belly is? I think Ivy thinks I have an elephant in my belly or something :)

The Proud Parents-to-be after a night of great fun and fellowship with some of our favorite people! Thanks again to everyone, it was perfect!!
