Mother's Day/Kim's Baby Shower - May 12, 2013

Although my little family already had fit in quite a bit by the afternoon for Mother's Day, we still had one more excursion to make. Adam & Kim graciously hosted a little get-together at their home for the Halecks and we got to tag along as well.

These girls are so cute together! It's so awesome when they get together and I don't need to pay any attention to Lucy at all. And she loves being with her cousins. They get right down to the business of playing.

Master griller, Adam with Jared & Vince. You can always look forward to a delicious array of meats from this family.

You can never beat an impromptu merry-go-round.

Since Kim's little baby boy would be due in just a couple of weeks, Heidi & Emily had a little family baby shower set up for her. Heidi put up some darling decorations (that also served double duty as little favors for the girls to keep).

Little baby Grey. He already looks so different (have to catch up on blogging, have to catch up on blogging). Kim was nice enough to let him use her brand new little rocker thing. I had never seen one before but I loved it! And the best part was that it folded up so it didn't take up as much space but was taller than many of the other rocker chairs out there so you don't have to bend over as much. I also love the colors and pattern. I imagined it must have been some really expensive boutique thing but it ends up it is Fisher-Price and you can buy it at Target for a very reasonable price.

This little chunk seems so much bigger than Grey in these pictures but my little boy is already catching up. Of course, Rowe is still substantially bigger.

Emily got the expecting couple another bouncy seat so there can be one for each floor. It's always nice to have multiple places to put the baby.

You can never have too many baby blankets. But seriously, I barely had any blankets for Grey because everything I had was pink! It's nice to have a little blue.

Heidi gave her sister some magic pillow and a fancy schmancy video monitor.

And of course, there were plenty of clothes!

It's so great to have extra adult hands to take care of all these babies!

Heidi also made this darling room decoration for baby Hugh. She had not idea what the colors would be but just happened to get them right.

What a great way to spend Mother's Day. Emily and I did not go home empty-handed either. Vince and Peg gave us some yummy chocolate dipped strawberries from Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory. Heidi also gave us the comfiest pants ever from Victoria's Secret. A wonderful way to end a wonderful day.
