It's a Girl!

I have several posts I'm preparing to catch y'all up on, but first and most importantly.....
I'm an Auntie!!!

On Friday April 5th, my beautiful niece was born! She came exactly a week after her due date and two days before her mama's birthday!
Sandy endured 47 hours of labor (!!!!) and I am just in awe. Matt's parents are there (in CA) and I am so happy and jealous at the same time!! A few videos, several pictures, and a couple Face Times have occurred over the weekend and I am so proud to introduce you to my sweet NIECE......

Adelaide Tuttle Pepin

Welcome to this wonderful world Ada!

So happy for Mark & Sandy and cannot wait to meet her!

Shower for Baby Auten

At the end of January, Matt and I went home to help throw a baby shower for some dear friends of ours. We were in charge of putting together the activities.

This picture should be a huge indication as to what the shower theme was.......

And what could be more FUN than a skeet shoot, BBQ, bonfire, cake, 

and a cornhole tournament for a baby shower??!!!

I printed the "Wishes for Baby" as an activity for everyone to be a part of.

just a quick video

Matt and his dad set up lanes for the skeet shoot as well as built the bonfires. 

Later in the evening we had a cornhole tournament.

There were so many shotgun shells

My love and I

Time for cake and gifts!!

A Child Training Bible 

Brandon's shorts as a little boy

The parents-to-be: Brandon & Livia

We had a LOT of fun at the shower celebrating the new addition 

and we look forward to meeting baby boy Auten in just a few days!!!! 

Sandy's Baby Shower

How cute are the invitations?! 

They were made by my sweet friend Ashley :) 

My sister in law Lauren and I threw a baby shower for Sandy (our sister in law) a few days before Christmas. Since they do not plan on finding out what they are having, we went for the perfect neutral colors: light yellow and green. 

We did these in lieu of games!!!

 (find them here- i get mine printed at UPS)

    

We had Crystal Light Mojito and Lemonade (keeping up with the theme here)

Enjoying the yummy brunch food.... We had banana bread, egg casserole, 

chicken salad and egg salad sandwiches, cupcakes, chips, cookies, and fruit salad. 

My mama in law made the cupcakes and cute duck cookies! 

(everything she bakes is so yummy!)

Time to open gifts!

Mustache pacifiers and Clemson items

Laughter at some of the "suggestive" clothing

A snugglebug (of course)!!

(The shirt says "Mommy and Daddy's Future Running Buddy")

Proud grandmas/mothers? I'm not sure they have names yet......

We had a fun time showering Sandy with love, gifts, food, and prayer! 

We are excited for their new adventure in parenting!! 

And we look forward to meeting baby Pepin at the end of March/beginning of April!!!
