Weekend of best friends & baby showers!

I had a great weekend with best friends from college! It was so much fun to be back together again but I am exhausted from all that we crammed into 48 hours! I took lots of pics so here is my weekend in pics...

Friday night dinner at Senor Tequilas in Little Rock! I felt like we were all back in college except 3 of the girls that have babies in their tummies! :)

Nicole, Emily, me and Jess

Gracen, Katie and Stefan


Saturday morning was Gracen's shower for baby Eli!

Gracen and I lived together for 3 years in college! Love her!

Summer babies! Due 6-15-10, 6-16-10 and 7-22-10

Nicole hosted Gracen's shower and her house is so beautiful!! There was a great turn out but didn't get a pic of everyone that was there!

The hostess with Gracen.

Eli Reed Stogsdill's cute cake that was of course from Ricks! :)

Katie and Stefan back together again! Katie lived in France for 2 years and we are so happy she is back home!

Lunch on Caper's patio was so good and the weather was perfect!

This a sneak peek at El's nursery! I just loved his bedding! I will post on his room when he gets here in June!

After seeing El's room almost ready... we (Katie, Emily and myself) decided that Halle Kate Jones needed a place to sleep! Before this weekend... Stefan didn't have a nursery. After this weekend, she had a new guestroom/office and Halle's room is well on its way to being a real nursery!

Katie and Emily put the crib together!!

Then at 11:30pm we decided to make a trip to Walmart to get paint and clothes to paint in! I think at this point we had lost our minds but we just really wanted to help Stefan since she is 31 weeks pregnant and no nursery! :)

Spray painting the cream whicker nursery furniture all white at midnight!

Sunday morning, we made another trip to Walmart for more paint and put a second coat on the furniture before Stefan's shower at 2pm!

Rachel (sis-in-law), Brooke and myself at the shower.
Mommy-to-be with all the yummies!

Halle Kate Jones' cute cake from Rick's bakery!

Miss June onesie... so cute but lets just hope she doesn't come 2 weeks early or we will need a Miss May! :)

There were so many girls at this shower too! It was so good to see everyone. I just wish the rest of our Pledge class could have been there with us!


Our sorority's saying was "It just keeps getting better" and it really does! Miss you friends already!
