Baby Block Inviataions

I have been working on a Baby Shower for my friend Amanda for a few months now. I am so excited that this Saturday we will actually get to celebrate the arrival of her 1st baby boy! (She has 3 adorable daughters). I cant tell you why but once this idea for her baby shower invitations came into my head there was no stopping me,  no matter how many late nights in the garage it took!

I had 100 blocks cut at Ghanal Lumber, that part was simple... 

Then they all had to be sanded!!! 

Once they were all sanded I set up a table in my garage and took the gallon of Modge Podge I bought and got to work! One side at a time x's 6 sides and then repeated it all over again with the top coat over the paper.

The only side of the block I didn't post is the MAP to the location of the party,

 which is on the bottom of the block.

I wrapped them up in cellophane, tied it with tulle and TADA! 

And Luckily I had some help hand delivering these beauties all around Orange County!

 

I'll post pictures of the actual party next week :)

EASTER

Here's a recap of easter festivities...Not included is Easter Egg Dying because Aunt Kadyn was nice enough to do that with the Riley and Sid when she babysat!

Ms Dianne's "Funny Bunnies" but on a spectualr show for us :) And Sidney got to play with NAVY (Scouts Little Sis) whom she adores)!

Girls watching the performance and probably thinking... When do I get to be on stage?

 Sidney wanted nothing to do with the bunny. The photographer placed a chair for her to sit in next to the Bunny but she picked up the chair and moved it farther away from him! OH Sid :)

I LOVE that Aven and Riley Love eachother SO much! They are always happy to see each other and at least once a day Riley asks if Aven can play:) Cousins are the BEST!

 Sidney and Londyn The cutest girls EVER!

Sidney clearly telling someone to stop!

My siblings, who I am SO grateful for! They are the best Aunts and Uncles, and brothers and sisters anyone could ask for.

 Easter egg hunt at Memoms!

                                                                                           

St. Patricks Day

I'm SOOO behind! Here is my attempt at catching up....

Ms. Diannes St. Patricks Day party... 

Irish Jig, Pot of Gold (Found by the irish kid Riley) and best buds (Scout & RIley)! 

I LOVE Scouts hat/wig in the pic below!

 Riley LOVES Leprechauns, he's always trying to find and catch one! This year he was convinced that cabbage would do the trick! He had me write a note with VERY specific instructions, and set the bait!
