April Showers....

Last night Josh and I, along with my mom, Jimmy and Jill, hosted a couples baby shower for my cousin Jared and his wife, Courtney. It was no ordinary baby shower...instead we spiced it up a bit and did a "daddy" shower in honor of dad-to-be...Jared! It was really fun...and turned out super cute! We went with a sports theme and asked guest to bring a daddy related gift. We served sports related food and had the final four b-ball games on as well...everyone really had a great time!

Here is the invitation we sent out....Josh came up with the catchy rhyme, of course.



Here are some pics from the party...


We decorated with sports things...and had pictures around of Jared playing sports when he was little...


Jared played tennis when he was in high school, so mom put this together for the front door.


Parents-to-be...Jared and Court! Courtney is schedule for a c-section on Thursday. We can't wait to meet Pierce Henry Popelka!!


Popelka cousins...


Hostesses with the mostesses..


We served wings and sides from Wing Stop for dinner and key lime pie (Jared's favorite), cookies, ice cream sandwiches and fruit kabobs for dessert...yumo!


Everyone came up with great daddy gifts! We gave Jared and baby Popelka a framed A&M Jersey...every little boy needs one! Gig 'em!


Court's fam....


Jared's fam....


Chris, Ashley and Uncle Robert. My favorite quote from the night...."Ashley, that Chris is a good one...just like your daddy and the Wal-Mart pharmacist." -Ashley's 85 year old grandmother


Mom and Aunt Deb....2 hot grandmothers! :)


I LOVE him...

This is SUCH a great idea! What a great way to get the dad involved in all the fun party stuff, too!
