Welcoming Baby Knox

My sister and Scott recently welcomed Michael Knox Jones into the family. About a week before the little guy arrived, we hosted a shower in their honor. My sister has so many wonderful friends from school, work, single days and more, who joined us to celebrate.

Mom baked a yummy brunch menu and I did my best to provide some entertainment with the baby Price is Right game. We had a couple lucky ladies who had done baby shopping at Target in the last week, so they definitely were at an advance.

There was no shortage of present helpers! The kids were busy and anxious for a turn.

Mostly just loved hanging with some of my favorite ladies...^ 

Thanks, ladies! Such a fun morning!

A Party for Ashley and "What's Her Face"

My best friend Katie and I hosted a baby shower for girlfriend and former BYU-I roomie, Ashley, this weekend in Provo. Ashley is due on May 10th and is having a baby girl. She and her hubby, Ryan, have decided to keep the baby's name a secret until she is born (much to the chagrin of both sets of grandparents :0). As a result, we hosted a party for Ashley and little "What's Her Face". Ashley's mother and sister were able to drive in from Colorado and her mother-in-law and sister-in-law flew in from Seattle. We also had a few girls from Ashley's ward, childhood and college days. After some delicious chicken tortilla soup, with all the toppings, we played the baby shower memory game and decorated the most adorable onesies.
