baby shower... more like WEDDING!

so for a few months, christalyn's mom and i planned out the theme and decor for her baby shower. it was kind of stressful considering it was only the two of us planning, but we made it happen. now we joke about how maybe we should start our own event planning business. NOT. i don't think i could handle the pressure. i definitely pushed my creative buttons for this one. we chose yellow and orange as the colors because no one knows the sex of the baby. we used doilies for some femininity and i think the clubhouse colors gave it more of a masculine feel.

the following photos are off my iphone 4s. i've been patiently waiting for our friend michelle(the professional photographers)photos from the shower, but i decided to just go ahead and post my photos anyway. once i get the professional photos i'll share those as well. (click on photos for a bigger version)

burlap welcome baby banner markena made and the pool table covered in gifts 


wishing tree tags being made and cute photo baby collage of iam and christalyn in a frame i made.


the shower was held in our friend jason's neighborhood clubhouse. it was a huge space and great for the 40+ people that came.



we gathered tons of different glass jars and bottles and made beautiful bouquets in them. 


 grape, lemon, lime, and mint icecubes for the punch that mani and i made.


onesies :) 


sundae bar and cute water bottle labels markena made




 the wishing tree table :) 




and the beautiful preggo :)



overall the shower turned out to be so much fun and was beautiful. we got a lot of compliments on how it was the best baby shower anyones been to before :) i'm glad. 2 more months and that baby will be here... can't wait!

bday





just wanted to share some photos from matt's birthday. we were weary about how it was going to turn out considering the "hurricane" that was supposed to come through that day, but the rain stopped at 7pm and didn't come back at all during the nite. we were able to do some grilling and spend time outside. the weather was breezy and cool and about 25 people showed throughout the nite.










just a few shots-

parties always move into the kitchen
