I had to add this photo as I LOVED little Avery's face on the right!!!
I thought it was so cute that during one of the games, Reese kept raising her hand to answer the questions!!
Reese and McKay playing with balloons!! I wish I would have taken more photos as the whole party was SOOO cute! I loved all the decorations, games, etc!
The table display of food and treats! It was a book themed baby shower so we used covered books for height on the table and through the party:
Our beautiful Amy:
The diaper cake was one of my favorites as it was looking ok but as the flowers were added, it just looked amazing! And yes, they were all real beautiful flowers from our hostess's yard!!
A cute setting for Amy to sit and open all her gifts:
Here is Rachel adding the name tags to our "Name Tree":
Party guests, Emily and Kaitlin. Huge thanks to Kaitlin for helping me set up!! It would have never gotten done without you!
The lady of the hour, Amy, and another friend, Brooke.

The guests sat on blankets...picnic style!!
Of course, there were fun games. Love this photo of Kaitlin:
And then we got to watch Amy open all her cute books and presents!! Thank you, Amy, for letting us throw you a baby shower! It was so fun, and we LOVE your little Alivia!!!
This year Reese switched back and forth between wanting to be Rapunzel, Scooby Doo, Rapunzel, an Ice Cream Cone, and finally Rapunzel again. Once she said Rapunzel the last time, I told her that was it and she couldn't switch any more!! :) I think she turned out to be a beautiful Rapunzel!!
We carved pumpkins and Reese helped and painted a few small pumpkins as well!
Hanging with friends at the Trunk or Treat!

Showing off all her loot!!
On Halloween we headed out to the neighborhoods and then met up with some cousins which Reese loved!
Checking out all their candy!!!
When we arrived at the mall, there was a small line that wrapped around a water fountain. So Reese practiced making wishes and throwing pennies in the water. Her one wish was to get lots of candy on Halloween!! Crazy kid!

When I originally saw this event on Facebook, I was picturing cardboard cut outs of the cars that we could take pictures with. Nothing big, but wow was I wrong! This was an amazing event! We first got a large Cars bag with a coloring book in each bag. Then we moved over to the next table where they had a game where Reese won a color changing pencil and Trevor won crayons. Then we moved to the next table where Reese spun the wheel and won a Cars Beach Towel! And I won a car air freshener. (not as exciting as the beach towel!)
The next table was just bowls of goodies to pick from! We could each pick a glass magnet or glass key chain. Everything was fine quality! Sometimes events like this give out cheap items but not today!
Finally we made it to Mater, Finn, and McQueen, and they were amazing! They were life size and real cars!! They were seriously cool!! We were told that they couldn't be driven but that they were just huge remote control cars!! Awesome! Reese wanted to get her pictures taken by herself:
SERIOUSLY COOL, right?!
They also had giveaways for the new Cars 2 DVD that is coming out next month. We thought they said Reese's name and got all excited but it wasn't her!! :( Still a VERY successful and fun afternoon! Here is Reese carrying all her loot through the mall!!
The start of the game was fun but scary for Reese. She started crying when they let off the fireworks, especially the really loud fireworks.
We were at the VERY top in the nose bleed section but I didn't care. It was still awesome and very loud! Trevor had told me before that this stadium is the loudest stadium in the country but I didn't realize how loud it really was until I was there! It is crazy!!!
Family shot. We really were at the very last row! My thighs were burning by the time I climbed to our seats! :)
In the middle of the game, someone got a little tired and crashed! I still can't believe she fell asleep in such a loud place especially since she won't go to sleep for me at home! :)
I accidentally cut Reese off but thought it was a nice shot of Trevor and me!
It was a fun and very close game. Seahawks lost but it got really exciting towards the end!
