Baby Shower in Kansas

We traveled home to Kansas this past weekend for a baby shower thrown by some of my good friends from high school - Lindsay & Sheila. The shower was so nice! And we got some really cool stuff.
Big thanks to Lindsay and Sheila for doing such a great job planning and throwing the shower. And thanks to everyone one who was there. It was really nice to see everyone and just catch up. Not to mention all of the awesome gifts. We were blown away when we looked at everything again that evening. Our little guy is pretty blessed!



Me & Mom.





Look at those snacks.. Mmm.. they didn't have to tell me twice to go eat. Sorry I can't help it that I'm ALWAYS hungry.. HA!



Check out this cake. Kim - one of my friends from high school made and decorated this. She is very talented. It tasted great and as you can see it was super cute!



Gift Time!







One of my favorite childhood books!









What an awesome start to Baby Boeckman's library!





This is just small bit of the gifts.. you get the idea.. pretty cute stuff!



The whole gang from high school.

Baby's New Friends

For Valentine's Day Joe gave me and the baby a couple of new friends that will live in the baby's room. The first one is this dude, he is an Ugly Doll.



Here is the other one.. MOD sock monkey.



They have both settled in pretty well, and they can't wait to meet Baby Boeckman!



The last Valentine's gift from Joe (Daddy) was this cool growth chart.

The Final Piece Has Arrived!

Well we were a little worried for a while because the dresser was unavailable for about two months. But finally Target got some in stock, and I put in my order immediately. So our last piece of furniture is assembled and ready to go. Now all we really have to do is finish some last little details and put new things away as we get them. You might wonder why the wall is blank above the dresser, but don't worry that is where the Alphabet poster will go, once I find the right frame for it.



This lamp was actually mine when I was a baby. Pretty cool, huh? So we have a little vintage piece for the room. I was pretty excited to discover this last time I was at home visiting Mom & Dad. Dad had a whole table of stuff laying out for me to go through. And among that was a few lamps from my childhood. I was excited when I saw this one because it not only matched our theme, but the colors matched perfect too! I guess I can't be too hard on Mom & Dad for never getting rid of things.. HA!
