Get Your Jewelry On!!!

Christmas was coming and my bestie just started a new business where she sells great jewelry for $5...that's right folks, just $5!!!!  Check out her blog here.....Fashion for 5.  I of course want to support Liz and so I decided to host a party.  We had some yummy drinks and a great time shopping! Check out all the pics and let me know if you are interested in hosting a party...I can get you in touch with Liz!

Since I didn't get any great pics of my Christmas decor, you can see a bit of it in these pics :]

No joke y'all, she just comes to your house, sets all this fun stuff up and you get FREE jewelry in the process!  We had a great time and my friends got some great gifts for the family and friends!  Thanks Liz for such a fun time!  Love you and your $5 accessories!!!

Baby Besties :]

So my friend Liz has the cutest little girl named Willa...she's 2 months already, and I just can't believe it!  I forgot to post these pictures when they were taked a while back, so here goes....Joey holding Willa :]

The hand off...

Ahhhh, Willa's so happy, and Joey looks so proud :]

I swear that Willa was not being choked by her jacket :]

Sammy had to get in on the action....look at them holding hands :]

Notice Willa looking at me like "this is the coolest lady I know, no wonder she and my mommy are besties!!"

Notice Sammy looking at me like "Mom, can we keep her?"

Well, we can't keep her, but I'm so glad that the Rock kids and Stout kids are gonna get to grow up together!  Can't wait to see them form everlasting friendships :]

That's How We Ring In The New Year!!

So another year has come and gone, and we celebrated with our dear friends Liz and Kevin!  Liz's sister was in town with her two kiddos, and we all went to Pamapedia's house for some celebration time.

Miss Ruby was visiting from Cali...I almost got in trouble for taking this picture because I hadn't consulted with Ruby's agent :] She's big in LA people :]

Joey and daddy played!

Kevin and his little princess Willa!!

Sammy hung out in the Jenny Jump Up with her tongue out of course!

Awwww, the new momma!!!

The whole group playing the Wii!

I was trying to teach Joey and Maddox how to play Mario Cart!  It was super awesome :]

Ally trying to beat my sweet precious 2 year old :]

I can't believe after all the years we have babies at the same time!!!  I can't wait for Sammy and Willa to grow up together :]  They are going to be besties like Liz and me....just wait and see :]

The night was fun, and it ended around 10 as our New Year's often do.  We packed up the kids and headed home.  Johnny and I were actually awake at midnight, we rolled over and kissed each other good night...a great end to a great year!

Whew...She Made It!!!

So I'm sure some of you keep up with me on facebook and have seen some of my posts on my dear friend Liz.  She is el preggo and has complete previa.  She actually went into the hospital a few weeks ago and almost ended up having to deliver the baby due to complications with the previa. Well, we prayed and God chose to answer...Liz was sent home and put on bed rest until she reaches 36 weeks.  At that point, her sweet baby Willa will be delivered via C-Setion on December 1st.

Now, why the title??  Well...her friends Anna, Amber and I were throwing her a baby shower and today was the day!  Whew...she made it to her shower with baby Willa still in her tummy!!!!!  Huge praise to the Lord on high people!!  Here's how the day went down...

We got to Liz's mom's to set up a bit early...we got the food out, decorated, then waited for the party to get started...here's how it looked...

mmmmmmm, who doesn't love a candy bar??

Here's the yummy cake our friend Holli made!!  Check out that board...she goes full out people!

The entire spread.....chicken pasta salad, goat cheese/pesto spread with crackers, fresh fruit, and pigs in a blanket!

Cute banner made by Amber

When Liz walked in she cried which made me cry :]  We had to get a pic with her before everyone arrived!

As mentioned above, Liz is on bed rest, so she plopped herself down in the yellow chair and we took care of her for the day!

Lots of people came to bless Willa and her parents!!

Super cute bunny slippers!!

awesome burb cloths

precious!!

The hostesses got her a Pack n Play!! She was super surprised!!

The party was a hit, and everyone had a great time!  We pray for Liz, Kevin and Willa until the day Willa arrives.  May God bless this family with an easy delivery and recovery, and a wonderful life to come centered on our maker!  Love you Liz!!!

The End!!
