Showering Stella...


This past weekend we hosted a couple's shower for Tom and Sydney and Baby Stella...due to arrive in September. Tom and Sydney are great friends of ours and recently relocated to Northwest AR for their jobs...oh how we miss them! We decided to invite the boys to this shower so we could all hang out...and so we could make them play games that would entertain us...boy did that work out well! We had lots of help in putting this shindig together and Jason spent ALL day Saturday in the blazing heat powerwashing our entire house, taking care of the lawn, spraying for bugs, putting up Xmas lights, and setting up for the shower...he was pooped by the time the partying began but this was all stuff that we needed to do and this was our reason for getting it all done! Here are some pics from the shower...

We had a great spread of food...fajitas, beans, rice, watermelon, and cupcakes with Andrea's famous homemade chocolate ice cream for dessert...yummy!!!

The games were HILARIOUS! The first was a blindfolded diaper changing contest...doll has diaper on and guys have to remove "dirty" diaper, clean baby, and put on new diaper. Our contestants were Tom and Kyle...both Dad's to be and both never having changed a diaper! Tom did surprisingly well and even wrapped up the dirty diaper like a pro...Kyle on the other hand was pure entertainment for everyone. It's a good thing you have 5 months to master your diaper changing skills Kyle! A few things out of Kyle's mouth during the game include:


"I don't get it...where are the holes?"

"Okay guys we're going to be here all night" (This after Tom was already done and Kyle had the diaper wrapped sideways around the doll's stomach)
"Was that supposed to happen...well I think I will just tie this in a knot" (This after he accidentally ripped part of the diaper off and couldn't find the adhesive to secure it)

Needless to say Tom won this game hands down...great job guys!

Our second game was a bottle chugging contest...four grown men sucking 4 oz of water from a slow flow nipple bottle! They were all out of breath and it took them nearly 5 minutes to down these bottles...pretty funny and great job Bryan!

After all of the shower events we all scurried inside to escape the heat and the guys had RockBand out in 0.4 seconds...they had a lot of fun. We closed out the night watching the video that we all put together to honor (and poke fun at) Tom and Sydney before they moved...we had lots of fun and we can't wait to meet Baby Stella!
