My Second Shower!

My amazing Mom and sister were kind enough to throw me a second shower on June 6th! This shower included family and friends. They hosted the shower at my parent's house in my dad's beautiful backyard. My dad spends so much of his extra time and energy in creating this tropical landscape and it was the perfect backdrop to our event.

My Mom and sister did an excellent job of entertaining my guests. We had some food catered from Alicias (one of my favorite places), and my Mom and sis made the rest of the food, including the delicious desserts!

Thank you so much to my Mom, Dad and Sis for a lovely shower and to all of my guests for attending!

My wonderful sister and Mom. Thanks so much you two for hosting such a beautiful shower!

GIFTS - I received so many wonderful gifts! Thank you so much ladies for your thoughtfulness and generosity. Here are some highlights...

Along with many other gifts, Josh's mom--Alison--made sure to purchase a Lakers jersey for Logan!

And of course, a Dallas Cowboys onesie--Daddy's favorite football team!

Beth made this beautiful stroller blanket and matching beanie. I just love handmade gifts!

I am so excited that my Tia purchased the artwork for Logan's nursery! She got him the "LOGAN" letters and four wall pieces that are bright, educational and go with the tropical theme in his room.

Nancy knows how much I love my wine, and she knows how much I'm looking forward to having some once Logan has arrived!

My best friend, Angela, and her family got me my jogging stroller. I'm so excited! Angela is an instructor for Stroller Strides (a fitness program for mothers and their children) and although Logan isn't here yet, I've already taken the stroller out for practice.
