Alyson's Shower

I know the title of this blog is Nicole & Her Boys, but I just had to post some pictures from my cousin Alyson's baby shower, which was last weekend. I can't wait to see baby Christian in a couple of months.
My cousin Wade's wife, Megan, made the adorable burp cloth Alyson is holding (above) - it's too small to see very well here, but it's white and has "Christian" stitched on it in red. Megan has some really cute designs (check out www.love-austin.blogspot.com), if you're shopping for a unique baby gift.
Okay, I'll admit that the only reason I'm posting this one is because my cousin Rachel (on the right) threatened my life if this picture ended up on Facebook ...so I found a way around that. :-) I made Alyson and Rachel do a "Charlie's Angels pose" so I could get a sillouette of both of them pregnant. Rachel is due with a baby boy, Nathan, just six weeks after baby Christian is due.
I love this picture because it's hard to get all of these women together at one time. From left, this is Alyson, my Aunt Re, my grandmother, my Aunt Debbie, my mother, and my cousin Rachel. It's not our whole family (I really wish Amanda could have been here, but Denver is a long commute for a baby shower), but it is a lot of my favorite people in the world.

Thanks! Looks like yall had a great time!

Thanks for visiting!

I'm new to the blogosphere, and since I plan to stick with pictures of my kids for the most part, I doubt that this site will be of interest to too many people. But you're welcome to pop in whenever you'd like to see what we've been up to!

About Me

My photo
Between Dallas and Ft. Worth, Texas, United States
My husband and I have been married for 11 years, but we've been together for 19 years - over half our lives! We moved from east Texas to the Dallas/Ft. Worth area in 1998. I became a stay-at-home mom a few months after our oldest son, Alex, was born in 2004, though I do work a few hours each week while he and our youngest son, Owen (born in 2006) are sleeping. Although I know I'll have to go back to work full-time once they start school, for now I plan to cherish the days of getting out of bed at 8am, lazy mornings spent at the park, and sharing every meal together.
