The Twins Baby Shower #2

On Sunday I was thrown a baby shower

for Harper and Hudson

by my amazing Mom and Sister Meg.

Here is the invitation:

It was hosted at one of my favorite little places called Arcadia Farms.

Here I am with the hostesses.

How gorgeous was the table?

The baby bump sure is getting bigger!

The menu

Delicious appetizers

My entree- Strawberry and Chicken Salad

The amazing dessert 

The party favors were Essie nail polishes in shades of pink and blue.

 With my niece Sadie, sister Jocelyn, sister Meg, and Mom.

Sweet friends and they are sisters too- Lisa and Sarah -with Meg.

Again with Sadie and Jocelyn, with my sweet friend Megan.

My mom with two of my wonderful sorority sisters Liv and Sarah.

We played a fun celebrity twin game, opened presents, and laughed a lot.

I had a great time with friends and family celebrating the twins.
Thanks for everything Mom and Meg!

 Ps - here is a pic of Mom, Meg, my Aunt Marty and Rea Rea. 
He so badly wanted a pic! :) 

The Twins Baby Shower #1

On Saturday 

I was thrown a baby shower 

for Harper and Hudson 

by my wonderful friend Holly.

She invited my sweet friends from school as well as my mom and sister.

It was so great to catch up with all of them, whom I have missed so much!

Here is the invitation:

 Before the Shower

How adorable are these banners?

She also had these cute cupcake toppers!

Here I am with Holly, the hostess.

My mom, sister Meg, and I.

Friends chatting and munching.

We played a "baby word scramble name" and I won! Holler!

And the guests played the "how big is the belly game". 

Surprisingly three people were spot on.

I feel like that rarely happens in this game!

I got some adorable baby gifts which I will blog about later!

I had a wonderful time with my friends celebrating the twins!

Thanks Holly for a great shower!

Sunday Social- Food Edition

1. If you could only eat one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Mexican Food! 

It's a good thing I live in Arizona!

2. What's your guilty pleasure/comfort food?

I love desserts. 

Pretty much anything really.

 My go-to's when I'm home are cookies and milk but I could eat frozen yogurt daily!

 Love. Love. Love.

3. What's the weirdest/craziest thing you've ever eaten?

Probably rattlesnake.  We used to take out of state friends and family to a western place that served it as an appetizer. It seemed like an "Arizona thing". I can remember thinking it tasted like chicken- pretty bland.

4. What foods do you avoid at all costs?

Fish.

 I like sushi (the really simple/not-sushi-ish kind). 

But that's about it.

 I wish I liked it because it's supposed to be super healthy for you. 

But it grosses me out. 

5. What meal reminds you of your childhood?

Mac and Cheese with a side of green beans.

6. Share one of your favorite recipes and the story behind it.

I am soooo not a cook.

And everyone in my family knows it.

But one thing that I do know how to make is strawberry/ pretzel salad. 

(except for the one school pot luck where I totally added WAY too much sugar)

And people actually request it at family functions.

Who knew?

There really isn't a story. I think I originally tasted it at a school potluck and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. So boom. I made it.

TV Addict

Since I'm pretty much stuck at home all day 

there has been A LOT of TV (trash TV to be exact) watching going on!

Here are some of the people I've been spending my time with:

Big Brother 14

Wasn't this scene so funny?

 "I picked the brawn and the brains and now..."

 I don't really have any favorite person that I'm rooting for this season, but I love the drama and how it changes each week. Why does Joe scream all the time? I hate him. Frank blinks A LOT. Like an abnormal amount. And is Ashley high or something? She is bizarre. 

Bachelor Pad

I love Ed. I think he is so flipping cute and he cracks me up. His wasted in the pool scenes crack me up. So do his animal sex noises.  I have a hard time with Jamie. All I can think about when I see her is that awkward kissing scene with Ben. Gross.

Real Housewives of New Jersey

For the record, I used to love Teresa and Juicy Joe.Mostly Juicy Joe. I always thought he was so cute. (Don't judge.) But boy has this season changed me. They are a serious piece of work. I'm now on team "everyone else". Melissa and her Joe are a freaking riot. Love them. But I think I would be friends the most with Jacqueline. 

Real Housewives of New York

While I thought this season got off to a slow start, they completely made up for it with the Florida episode. Holy smokes. Aviva's dad was hilarious. I seriously laughed out loud this entire episode. When he talked about "squirting orgasms" and Mario spit his drink across the table- amazing.   

Teen Mom

Okay. So my friends talked about this show for years and I never caved. Until now. I'm addicted. These girls are train wrecks and I can't turn away.  I seriously want to adopt Caitlyn and her bf. They have crap luck for family but def are getting their stuff together. His dad dating and beating up her mom? Seems so incestuous. And Farrah? She is the rudest girl I've ever seen. And honestly seems like she is a bad mom to Sophia.  

Bristol Palin: Life's a Tripp   

I know. I might be the only person in America watching this show. But I like to see her relationship with her family and bf.  I also think it's neat to see Sarah Palin as a mom at home. I like her. Sorry I'm not sorry. 

Keeping Up with the Kardashian's

When the show first started, I loved it. I felt like the girls relationship with their mom was so similar to my sister and my relationship with our mom.   Then I stopped watching for a couple of years.  Now I'm back. And yep. I still think we are like them.  We tell each other everything. I like Kim the best but I think Khloe and Lamar and adorable together. And I like Scott, probably better than Kourtney. But I love her hair right now. 

Trust me. There are plenty more shows that are taking up my DVR. (It's a good think Nick and I have our own DVRs because he hates all of my shows.) I'm just kinda done blogging for the moment. Hope you enjoyed my TV opinions!! What are your favorite or must watch shows?!? 

What I'm Loving Wednesday!

Happy Wednesday!

Today I'm linking up with Jamie to share what I am loving today! 

Enjoy!

(1)

I'm loving that I had an ultrasound today and saw my two little babies!

The pictures of my pictures aren't great- sorry, I wish I had a scanner!

But here ya go:

 Left side is Harper's face and right side is a close-up of her nose and mouth. (Imagine like she is smashing her face against a window- that's what it looks like!)  Harper was weighing 3 lb 15 oz today! My big girl!  She is also a wild and crazy baby.  The ultrasound tech couldn't believe how much she moved- it was pretty fun. Oh, another side note- she is no longer breech. But the tech said the way this baby moves- who knows what she will be tomorrow! 

Left side is Hudson's face and right side is a close-up of his nose and mouth. (Imagine like he is smashing his face against a window- that's what it looks like!) Hudson was weighing 3 lb 5 oz today!

I'm loving my sweet boy Reagan.

Today was his first day back at pre-school.

He had a great day and was well behaved. He also was super successful going potty. I was a nervous for his first day completely without us or family and the potty. But no accidents! Not even at nap time?!? Whoo hoo! 

Here was his report from today.

(3)

I'm loving how the babies room is coming!

Here is a sneak peak!

(This is the wall over the cribs.)

(4)

I'm loving this sign I made for the front door.

Let's hope it works and the solicitors and neighbor kids stop ringing the bell!

(5)

I'm loving this sweet gift I got from my old friend Ashley in the mail.

People are so stinking thoughtful!

I'm super excited about these WubbaNubs. I've heard great things!

How adorable are these onesies she ordered from Etsy?

I'm thinking maybe coming home outfits?!?

(How fancy were your coming home outfits? How did you decide what to have your baby wear? With Reagan I went the sentimental route and he wore the outfit my mom got us when we first found out he was a boy.)

(6)

I'm loving the Pinterest tutorials on how to make DIY canvas prints. Have any of you tried to make your own canvas prints? I LOVE how they look, but I don't want to spend $$$ on them. I would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm loving my amazing hubby Nick.  He has been such a super dad and husband while I have been pretty much stuck on the couch/bed. I am so lucky!
