It keeps on raining

showers of love that is. Today was my families baby shower. It was hosted by my Aunt MC at our house. I don't have many pictures to share of this shower because my aunt and godmother took a bunch of pictures on her camera and is giving me a cd of the pictures, so far now I will share the few my mom captured on my camera. Once everyone arrived we ate and then started the present opening.


My sis B made the diaper cake.



We got a lot of books, afghans, and wonderful things at today's shower. After all the presents were opened, we enjoyed cake and cupcakes! Thanks to our wonderful families for all the great things we have gotten this weekend to help welcome our lil C into the world!

Showers of Love

Tonight Mr. C's family threw us a baby shower. It was hosted by my sil's Sissy & H and my mil at her house. We once again got lots of wonderful presents from all of our family. Here are some pictures of me opening up all the presents.


This cake was amazingly delicious...i had a piece that was chocolate with a mouse filling.. To die for, i really couldn't have eaten the whole thing. The other half was vanilla with a strawberry filling.

After I got done opening presents, we cute the cake and everyone just mingled. It was a great evening!

Let the showers begin!

Today was my first baby shower! It was hosted by my cowokers. They decorated the white boards in the conference room, below is a drawing and an inside team joke.

Alyssa made me a diaper cake, she did a wonderful job!! So creative and adorable!
The spread of desserts! No actual cake and I was perfectly happy with that, I am more of a desserts person more than a cake person. The dish by the diaper cake, made by Alyssa, is one of my favorites, she calls it something different, but I call it Fat Man's delight and it is delicious! Thanks Al for making it.

Me with a cute lil outfit for our Lil C!
We got a lot of really cute outfits, and practical presents that we will get a lot of use out of. Thanks to all of my coworkers for the wonderful shower and great presents!

2nd Annual C Country Craze

Mr. C and I love the fall, we love Halloween, we love gardening, it is one of our favorite times of year. Since the first year Mr. C and I started dating we have visited a pumpkin patch and carved our jack-o-lanterns. When we found our property and moved into our house we decided that each fall we would host a party at our house. We would grow pumpkins and have them ready for the kiddos to pick and our families to display at their homes throughout October. In 2008 we just had Mr. C's family over on a Sunday afternoon, fried fish and picked pumpkins. In 2009 we named our event the C Country Craze and had both our families over in the afternoon, made chili, did a hayride and let them pick pumpkins, and then we had an adult hayride and bonfire that evening. Each year it just keeps getting better and better! We added another hay wagon this year since last year we were not able to fit everyone on the adult hayride. We also moved where we planted our pumpkins and planted more of them, so we actually had to take a hayride to get to the pumpkins!

The tractor and wagon's before the kids hayride.

It could have been such a great family photo if our other dog would have been more photogenic.





We had such a great day and night! So much fun!!

Fast Track Child Birth

So today we attended our child birth class, although we are just at 31 weeks, this weekend was the best weekend with our schedule's for us to take the class. The morning started off alright, it was more about natural pain management than about the nuts and bolts of what was going to happen. After lunch we got all the gory details. Mr. C and I were talking afterwards and he was like, it really wasn't that gross, I said no hunny you are used to field dressing deer, and seeing the inards of animals that you hunt and kill so you shouldn't be that grossed out. After the class was over we took a tour of the hospital and birthing suites. Overall i am glad that we went and feel that we both understand a little more about what could happen when i go into labor. At least now Mr. C knows where to go!
