I started my Sunday with a baby shower given by my best friend from childhood, Jodee Leader. It was a very "pink" and "girlie" gathering with lots of fun stuff given to us for our baby girl. I can't wait for her arrival and dress her in all of the adorable outfits I received! I got lots of pink things including washcloths, hooded towels, diaper bag, sleepers, bottles, high chair, bouncy seat and blankets. After having two boys, it is such a nice change to go from blue to pink! Another cool gift I got was a gift certificate for a blog makeover, which I hope to do sooner than later! This generic layout isn't cutting it for me anymore, and hopefully a cuter one will get me blogging more consistently, too, since everyone says I don't update my blog enough! Jodee once again out-did herself with yummy polka dotted pearl cupcakes, a delicious brunch and super cute pink and chocolate decorations! She is always a wonderful hostess and can throw the best parties! I really was fortunate that she wanted to do this for me and it really got me in the mood for this little girl's arrival. I think it also made it feel more "real" and that it will finally happen...it seems like I've been pregnant forever, so now the light at the end of the tunnel is more clear! Thank you, thank you, thank you Jodee for the fabulous shower and taking the time to do this for me! I had a great time!
Charlie decided the other day that he didn't want training wheels on his bike anymore, since he thinks he is seven, not four! So, we gave in, and tried it and after only a few tries (and falls) he got the hang of it! He gets better and better every day and thinks he is pretty cool! He still falls some, but only after he has been on the bike awhile. Good job, Charlie Hayden!
Daddy, Cameron and Charlie spent Saturday at Mahoney State Park with Great Grandma Joyce and her friend, Delmar, while I spent the day in Clarkson, NE with eight of my high school classmates catching up on old times. To view my day, go to my friend, Jodee's blog, "Follow the Leaders" below under my favorite blogs. Anyway, Grandma and Delmar camp at Mahoney every summer and are the camp "guides" for the other campers while they are there. The boys always have a fun time fishing, roasting marshmellows and enjoying the outdoors! The boys especially loved fishing because between the three of them (well, mainly Cameron) they caught 36 fish, and not just little ones! Cameron thought it was pretty cool catching such big ones, since he usually only catches small ones. All in all, they had a super time and love hanging out with Great Grandma Joyce! Thank you, Grandma, for showing the boys such a great time!
Here are pictures of Cameron and Charlie's new bedroom that they are sharing. They each have their own twin bed and new dressers /shelves displaying all of their "baseball stuff'". They really love their room and Cameron says it is so fun to have Charlie "living with him"!
