Baby Shower for Brynlee!

My two bestest friends, Nikki and Jen, gave Brynlee and I the best baby shower ever. It was a small personable get together for my closest friends and I. It turned out simply perfect, with the most adorable decorations, the yummiest lunch, and the cutest bundt cakes ever for dessert! Nikki even made the cutest favors/thank you's to give everyone!

Everything turned out so great and Brynlee and I got alot of great cutesy girly gifts! It makes me that much more excited for Brynlee's arrival! It was so much fun to see pink!!!!

I wanted to show everyone a few things that my Mom has given Brynlee. First is this special Cabbage Patch Kid Doll that she had a special outfit made for to match Brynlee's room. It was so special because Cabbage Patch's were really big when I was little. My Mom has told me several times about the stories of her spending the night at stores like Lionel Play World just to get a ticket to see if she would get a doll. She just couldn't let Brynlee go without having her first CPK Doll from her Grandma!

Then there is this so dang cute princess lamp that I had found and of course Grandma Wendy thought it was just perfect as well. I am just lovin' all this girly stuff!!

Hayden's Gift for His Baby Sister

I have been trying to come up with the perfect gift for Hayden to give his baby sister when she arrives and for sister to give Hayden. I was trying to think of something more sentimental that each of them could keep rather than just a toy or something. For Brynlee that was easy but for Hayden it was a little bit harder. So this is what I came up with....

We took Hayden to Build A Bear to make a stuffed animal for his baby sister. I was hoping he would have chose a cute soft bunny rabbit that they had or just a plain bear but he chose Hello Kitty instead. Which actually turned out to be a super cute idea! She was so cute with her big bow and necklace that came with her that I thought she didn't really need to be dressed so as we were walking up to pay Hayden was sad cause he wanted to dress her. So I found a cute pair of Hello Kitty Jammies that I thought would be perfect but Hayden was just not satisfied with that. He wanted an actual dress for her. So we picked out a dress. I wouldn't say that it matches her bow and paws the best but it's what Hayden wanted for his baby sister. Oh, and the best part of it is that we recorded Hayden's voice that's now inside of Hello Kitty's arm and it says. "Ummm, I Wuv You Bwynwee!" That's what he chose to say and we just took the first thing he said. I think it's a adorable and hope that Brynlee will want to keep it forever!

For Hayden I just couldn't come up with anything that I thought Hayden would think was cool and have interest in besides toys. But I wanted it to be sentimental. So here is what I came up with. A new beat and Transformers. For those of you who don't know what beats are at our house, it's Hayden's favorite blankets. My friend Jen's Mom, Claudine, had made Hayden some receiving blankets when he was born. We just loved them that as Hayden grew bigger we asked if she would make some more for Hayden but a bigger size. Hayden loves them and still does to this day. He doesn't have to take them every where or carry them around all day, he just wants them when he is sleeping or like when he goes to the baby sitter. I think it's a comfort thing for him. He can't have just one either. He has to have the entire wad. Like 2 to 5 at a time. Whatever he can round up!

I am looking for cute flannel Transformer material but haven't found any. So in the meantime, I did find some cute material that has guitars on it. So for now he will be getting one new beat with his new Transformers. I think the beats or more of a sentimental thing that I know Hayden will want to keep for a very long time. The Transformers are just cause I know he will think those are cool!

So now that I have all of that under control I can only hope that the Hospitals will now lift the restrictions of under age 14 visitors. I am hoping and hoping that they do before Brynlee is born!

Happy Valentines Day!

What a great Valentines Day we had at the Peterson House! Mommy finally got a brand new car!! 2010 Nissan Murano LE. It has all the bells and whistles made possible! I'm one lucky Momma!!

But of course my two favorite boys couldn't let the actual love day go by without giving me some special flowers! And of course Nate and Hayden also gave Grandma Wendy some special flowers too! I am so fortunate to have my sweet boys in my life!

Thanks Boys for making this a most memorable Valentines ever! I Love You Both Too Much!!

(That's what Hayden says when we ask how much he loves us.)
