Showered With Love - Nugget #2

Last weekend, Nov 11th my sisters, sister-in-law, Nicole and Becky threw Holmes nugget #2 the  perfect shower. As usual the details were darling, the games were a hit and the food was delicious. I'm so thankful to have these women in my life and for all of those that help celebrate our soon to be bundle of joy. Thank you all for your friendship, love and support! 

Walsh/Holmes/Romero girls (and hosts)

Mom and her girls, thanks for being such a great role model

Me and my girl, soon-to-be big sis

She enjoyed herself

Stevie: mom this is way too small and looks like a boy's shirt

Me: this is for the baby not you silly

Stevie: Oh baby Timmy!

Friends

Kristy is due in Dec, and we've been great friends since pre-school. So excited our kiddos will be close in age, just sayin maybe the future West High Warrior v-ball team

And the ultimate game hosts

The Details 

The jury is still out but so far its 11 boy and 9 girl....what's your guess?

Love My Cousins

Stevie loves hanging with her cousins, they are so good to her. Although there's a pretty big age gap they always include her in whatever they are doing, we're thankful for each of them.

And yes she knows the Taylor Swift song, thanks to grammy.

Halloween 2012

This Halloween was simple and perfect. We got our tinkerbell dressed, met up with the Smart girls and headed to the Riviera Village, where they shut down the streets and the stores pass out candy, it was perfect for their age and will be a tradition moving forward. Then we headed to the Smarts neighborhood for a few traditional door knocking trick or treats, the girls were professionals by this time, nice and loud with their TRICK OR TREATs, a video to come next post.

And their off

Trick or Treat, they loved getting CANDY. (Kylie was so sweet she would always ask for one more for her friend Stevie, and would put in  her pumpkin for her, what a great friend)

Stevie had a blast (a picture's worth a thousand words)

Daddy's Biggest Fan

Earlier this month Tim ran the MB 10k with Josh and Aunt Linny, which they all did 50 mins or under. Nice work guys. While they ran we cheered...and got to watch the Smarts kiddos while they ran too.

Stevie ready to cheer on Daddy

Tim lookin good on the first mile

The cheerleaders

Mile 2 you can see Aunt Linny and Tim, which she's in front but not for long:)

Although Josh came in first, Tim second and aunt Linny third, Stevie will always think her daddy's #1

Then we headed to the fair, she conquered her first big kid slide

Well kind of:)

Just because, these days she's into paint and not just on paper

Happy Monday

Lately

Can you believe we start fall SATURDAY? Not me, my months feel like weeks and before I know it we'll be bringing home our new little nugget. But until then we've been celebrating friends birthdays, playing dress up and having sleepovers at the Romero's.

Friends:

Stevie loves dress up

Stevie and Kylie getting Sophie's party started:

While Grammy and Papa celebrated 40 years of marriage out of town we shipped Stevie off to the Romero boarding house, she didn't cry once and loved being her cousins. Here's Kate and Stevie in their princess nightgowns

Prepping for Fall, here is my pillow I made thanks to Emily's teaching.



Stevie's Prediction for Jan 25th

We'll see in about 5 months if she's right.

Mom and Dad say the jury's still out:)
