Abby's Baby Showers!!

Mikey, I and our kiddos are so blessed with our friends and family who bless us with all their love, and share in our excitement in having our first daughter!! We are so thankful for you!

Kinship Baby Shower for Abby!! 
Last week Amanda and Bob threw me a baby shower during kinship! Bob made my favorite BBQ Chicken! Amanda made a delicious strawberry cake and we had such a blessed time in fellowship with our friends from kinship! The Marroquins and Rosales family came! They all came together and blessed us with 31 Company bags and purses! Two really cute and comfy blankets, and head bands galore!! I didn't take any pictures that night but we had such a fun time! We love our kinship group and are so blessed to spend our every Friday evening growing in the Lord together.


Abby's Mamaw, Grammy, Grandma and Grandpa Baby Shower

The next day was Saturday and our kiddos Grandparents had so much fun throwing us a beautiful Baby shower for our friends and family! We had so much fun and were so blessed with everyone who was there! Mamaw and Grammy made a yummy brisket and Chile and bought a beautiful butterfly cake! Grandma and Grandpa got dressed up in Pink and Purple and decorated the house in Pink and Purple with butterflies! My Cousin Chico made this fruit basket that looked like a baby sucking on a pacifier! Very creative!! We got lots of gifts for Abby!! Beautiful dresses and outfits, diapers and wipees, blankets, crib sheets!! We also got more gifts the next day at church! And we continue to get more gifts and clothes for Abby! We are so ready to have our baby!! Mikey and I are still in the process of getting her room all ready for her! Everyday brings us more excitement knowing she'll be with us soon!! 

Here are some pictures of my baby shower at my parents house! Niko and Nathaniel had so much fun also! Even though the party wasn't for them and they still don't know who Abby is they were just as blessed spending that time with family and friends! The McKay family brought them their very own gift of trucks which added to their excitement that day! 



Fruit baby! (Niko and Nathaniel can't wait to eat)


Daddy and Mommy feel so blessed with our beautiful growing family!  We still can't believe that almost 5 years ago we were saying "I do".. Time is going by so fast and I am so blessed to have this man by my side, growing our family together and each day our love grows more for each other. And I think we still look young! :)

I have a few weeks left! Here is our belly shot!! It was taken by mistake! 
Such sweet times celebrating You Abby!!!






So what have we been doing in preparation for you?
 We have been out shopping with Mamaw and Grammy! Here is a picture of your big brother Nathaniel riding around in Grammy's car at the Outlet Mall! I can't wait to take you shopping there!


Nathaniel is also doing his best to do pee pee in the potty before you come! He's trying his best but he mainly likes playing with the potty! 


Your big brothers ask lots of questions about you... mainly wondering when you'll come home, when they will be able to play with you, if they have a baby in their belly too, and they can't wait to show you all their toys!! 


We can't wait to meet you! You are a blessing sent from God to us! We love you our little Mariposa Abby! (Our Butterfly)
