Spring Cactus

My mom got me a spring cactus for mother's day and I thought it would ever bloom. I was wrong it finally did. Very pretty I must say.

Sadly all the blloms are gone now and it looks like a regular ole cactus but I am going to get it to bloom again next spring.

Gage calling 5-8-11

Gage got to call on Mother's day so we all went to Brian and Kollette's house to talk to him. It's hard to believe he only has 6 months left on his mission and he will be home.

SuperHero day at the O 5-13-11

My work had a unity day on Friday the 13th and the theme was Superhero. Jared hadn't been working much so we didn't have a whole lot of disposable cash (really we never do) and the people on my team had expressed those same concerns so I decided to get to work to make our costumes and some fun decorations. I used my Cricut to help out. We decided that our team would be the O-vengers and here are some fun pictures from the day.

Instead of the Bat Phone we had the O phone

Brianna's Baby Shower 5-14-11

I am such a slacker on my blog lately and there are a million reasons why it hasn't really been updated since Mother's day, but the main reason is I have been too busy out enjoying the summer now that is finally here. I am working on cleaning the house today since Jared is at work and I have no pressing plans. I though it would be nice to update my blog as well.
So I will start with Brianna's baby shower. Amy was the one to mostly put it together. All I had to do was the make the invitations. I think they turned out rather cute.

Then I made her a card to go along with the present I got her

The baby comes out of the buggy and then the card opens.

My mom made some refreshment.

Cute diaper motorcycle made by Kim

Some one made her a super cute diaper cake. One of these days I would like to attempt one of these.

Cute little Ruby enjoying some food

Cute decorations

The expecting mother

Bunch of people waiting on food.

Cute paper plates

Kaitlyn eating

Yummy!

The hungry masses

As if we didn't get enough food. We get super gross baby food. I had to make it better with whipped cream. This was actually a game we played trying to guess the food

Presents

Beautiful girl

Playing another game. This is a fun game that I played at Kim's baby shower when she was expecting little Ruby. It started raining and even though we were under the deck we still got wet so we had to go inside for a bit.

Back outside to unwrap presents

Posing

Back inside to check out the bag of cute clothes she got.

And that is the conclusion of the baby shower. As you might already be aware little Michael Teagan Bryce made his debut on June 3rd, but that is a different story for another post later, right now it's back to vacuuming the living room
