Haylie Baby

Haylie and Matt will soon be welcoming a new little one at their house. Haylie's girlfriends wanted to throw a Baby Shower to celebrate. Even with a bit of a MST (MormonStandardTime) beginning, we had a great turn out. [Oops! Sorry Haylie & Jen! LOL] I think I counted 16 of us when everyone finally came.

Background story: Before I had Liberty, I decided I was going to be the "Baby Shower Party Girl" for all my friends. I have an entire folder full of games and things.Well, let's just say.. where does the time fly? My baby's 10 this next month and the Baby Shower Folder needed a little bit of dusting. Oops! I'll just say that I've been saving them all for Haylie! LOL

At the shower...We visited until everyone got there and then we played a few games. First, we played a Candy Bar Matching Game. Kinda like Memory but the matches were a candy bar & a baby word. Things like: Engorgement & Mounds, Twin Boys & Mike&Ike, Breastfeeding & Milky Way, Baby Girl & Baby Ruth, Umbilical Cord & Licorice Rope, Bottle Feeding & Milk Duds, Conception & Skor, Sperm & Swedish Fish. Ya know- things like that. Haylie actually teased at the beginning and asked "Is this G Rated?" I teased her back and said that nothing about having a baby is G-Rated!!!! LOL The girls were getting frustrated on remembering where the matches were. They were blaming it on lost brain cells from having children (LOL) so I kinda gave them a few hints along the way! We had a good laugh.

Next we played the Memory Game. I brought out a platter full of "Baby Essentials" and let the ladies examine it for 2 minutes. Then I took it away. I gave them a bit to write down all the things they could remember. Some tried to cheat but they were no match for Jennifer and ended up doing worse after their papers were taken. See!!!! Cheaters never prosper! LOL. Teri & Ellen won with like 25 of the 31 items. Yeah! Haylie got to take all the items home!

The last game we played was a Mad Gab Game. We broke into 2 teams. The first team to figure out all 30- won! It was so funny to hear them because it was so clear to those in the kitchen what they were saying. But they had to repeat some of them tons of times to figure them out: Hilarious! Here's some for you to try. Good Luck!:

Prizes for the winners (which I never took pics of. Sorry!) were those "layered cookies in a jar". They looked so yummy! Thanks Kenzie!

After games, Haylie opened presents! Her and the baby got way spoiled. Some really fun stuff. Home-made quilts, baby toys, a Porta-crib gc, clothes, a diaper bag, a diaper cake, gift certificates, an adorable Indian Papoose Snowsuit (oh yeah-she picked it out! ;) and tons of other stuff! This is definitely one LUVED baby! Whatever it is! ;) [They didn't find out what the sex of the baby is and it has really stressed people out! Haylie is loving it a bit too much! She likes to torture us! LOL] I found a cute Keepsake Book for everyone to sign. It keeps track of all the guests, gifts and even had a place for advice and luv notes to the Mommy!

After games, we had a fabulous lunch! Jennifer's meatballs, KTuck's feta cheese & tomato bread thingys, veggies, pastel M&Ms and 2 delicious cakes. I found the most adorable plates and napkins for the Shower. Unfortunately, they never got in any picture. I DID however find a pic of them on the Internet so I included it on the collage. "Mom-to-be"! Aren't they cute?? And look at Haylie's tummy! I love pregnant tummies!

Good Luck to Matt & Haylie in their new adventure!

Thanks for giving us an excuse to Party!

Luv ya guys!
