Spirit Week

Avery's school had what I like to call 'Spirit Week' this past week. Each day was a different dress-up day! I think it was more fun for me to dress her up each day, but I know she will enjoy these days when she gets older!

 

Monday: Favorite Team Day - Boomer Sooner!! 

Tuesday: Mix-Match Day!

Wednesday: Crazy Hat/Hair Day!

Avery and one of her teachers, Miss Jessica

 Thursday: Hall Color Day! (She is in the GREEN Hall!)

Friday: PJ Day!

 

On Friday, parents got to go have a picnic with their babies at lunch out in the meadow!

Family Pics

So, it has been since Avery's newborn pictures that we have had professional pictures taken. With Andrew in baseball, it has been hard getting a time that would work out. So, this past Sunday we finally got some pictures taken. Kate Gaines with Hannah Kate Photography shot our photos. We have known her and her family for years from when we were in Norman. I absolutely LOVE how they turned out. We went to some old barns in Norman and the weather turned out just perfect. Here are a few of my favorites!

Showered by love!

The past two weekends have been jammed pack with baby showers! We had our Texas shower on May 28th and then had an Oklahoma shower on June 4th.

Our Texas shower was hosted by all the lovely ladies in mine and Andrew's family; Judy, my mom; Mary, Andrew's mom; Kristi, my sister; Heather Marshall, sis-in-law and Heather McGuire, sis-in-law. We had it at Andrew's brother's house in Fort Worth. It was a couple's shower and was full of family, close family friends and close high school and college friends of ours. It was a great turnout and we felt so blessed to have everyone there! Here are a few pics from the shower!

The dessert table. The cake was so cute and it was D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S!! It was carrot cake (our fav with cream cheese icing)!!

Cute 'Avery' burp clothes made by a close family friend!

Our Oklahoma shower was hosted by some of my girlfriends up here; Lindsay, Jessica, Amber, Lisa, Karen, Ashley and Maegan. It was so good to have a fun group of girls get together and I absolutely love all of them! I have some very creative and talented friends who handmade gifts for Avery! Here are some pics from the shower!

Pretty diaper cake!

Cute outfit my mom sent for Avery!

Nursery

Here are some updates for what I will be doing for the nursery! Hopefully here in the next week or so we can get paint on the walls, furniture in, and then let the fun of decorating begin! I will be posting pics as we progress in the process!

Here is the bedding we are going to be going with! I am kind of obsessed with gray right now and just love how simple and chic this bedding is! It is a very light gray damask print with tan ties.

Here are some pieces I have ordered from Etsy.com. I absolutely love this website and love how it's everyday people creating these items with their own hands. Prices are great and items are unique! If you have not checked it out, I highly recommend!

These name blocks were custom made for Avery for a GREAT price. I got the set of blocks plus shipping for under $30, a STEAL!

I just love this pillow, it is so fun and whimsical! I am accenting with the color coral and thought this pillow would be a great addition to the chair in her room!

I was not very impressed with any of the baby books out there, they just seemed so babyish. So, I found this seller and loved her stuff! The outside is covered in fabric and will feature an 'A' with Avery on it. Can't wait to get this in and get started on filling in the information!

Also, here are a few fun items I have picked up from a local store, The French Cowgirl!
