Grayson Gets Showered with LOVE x3 and 4!

Well, I must say that Grayson is one lucky little guy! In the past two weeks he has been showered with more love in Chicago. Last week, my wonderful co-workers threw me a shower. Everything turned out great! It was so thoughtful of them to do that! Thank you Kate, Adie and Sonha!

 On Saturday, we had our last shower, it was actually a couples shower. The girls who hosted did a great job of making it fun for everyone. The shower was a Texas/Cowboys theme; all of the decorations were awesome! We feel so blessed to have great friends! Thank you Leila, Nicol and Jordan! We had a great time!

 They bought the letters, before they knew his name;) But we still loved seeing Baby Slataper!

 Matt got a "large" pacifier, and I got a "mom to be" tiara. They also gave out bandanas for people to wear for the Cowboys/Texas theme!

 Lookin' large with only 4 weeks left!

 During the shower we had a few "Battle of the Sexes" games - apparently the guys won...but I am not sure anyone was keeping 'real' score

The games got heated! We had a great time at the shower, and I must say I have never been to a baby shower like this one, and I LOVED every minute!

Maternity Photos

Last weekend, Matt and I went out at took our maternity photos at Montrose Harbor with Patricia Anderson Photography. I actually chose her, because she does the most adorable newborn photos...I am really more concerned with Grayson's photos than our own, but I LOVE our pics too! She really captured what we wanted. Since we live in Chicago, we wanted to add some of our Texan roots, but Chicago also has a beautiful lake, so we got to capture that as well. She did a great job and I cannot wait for her to take his photos shorty after he is born! Thanks Tricia!

  XOXO,

Babymoon in Scottsdale

Last weekend, Matt and I headed to Scottsdale for warmer weather and relaxation. He has been so busy with school and I have been rather busy with work, so it was nice to get away from the city and just enjoy one another before Grayson arrives in May. Here are some pics from the weekend. We had a blast!

TPC Scottsdale - Matt played and I rode along

Our last night...for some reason I did not get someone to take a pic of us together

XOXO,

Grayson Gets Showered With Love x2

This past weekend Grayson was showered with love in Sugar Land by some of my aunts and mom's sweet friends. Everything turned out beautifully and it was able to be held at my parent's new house! They have been working so hard on it for so long, so I was thrilled we were able to celebrate this occasion there. Thank you to everyone who came and celebrated with us. Only two months to meet our little guy!

Balloons out front - ironically there was a neighbor having a party or shower too with blue and white balloons. Needless to say, we had some guests make an appearance at their house before making their way to ours!

They treats and table arrangements were AWESOME!

Each arrangement was put together by the hosts. More pictures of other arrangements to come!

There were little rattles on the ends of the fruit - SUPER cute!

M&Ms with Grayson's name! These were picked over by the time I got a pic!

A wreath where guests could write a message to me or Grayson. These were so fun to read!

My grandparents and cousins came in town

My handsome hubby!

My sister has been wanting to do a baby mama photo... (excuse my Casper the Ghost legs - I stay bundled in Chicago)!
