Parties and random week stuff.

I love any excuse to get to hang out with friends and baby showers and birthday parties are the best reasons to see friends! So last Sunday, I went to one of my former co-worker's baby shower! Aubrey, the one in the middle, is having a baby boy named Shepherd at the end of March! I can't wait to see this cutie pie!

The shower was done by Katie at Katie Grace Designs. She can really think of every single detail. She is so creative and such a good party planner! Like these cute boxes that we all signed and will be put in Shepherd's room!

The main table was a hot cocoa bar! There were toppings, flavors and these awesome chocolate spoons!!

All the guest got to take home a hot cocoa mug and one of the chocolate spoons! I am so glad that I got to attend such a sweet shower for such a sweet friend!

Sunday night, I went over to Jennifer's parent's house to eat pizza and cake for Jennifer's birthday! They are like my family and I enjoy any time I spend with them!

Jennifer had some help blowing out her candles! Sweet Brody didn't know what to think about the sparkler candles! :)

The gals at the party, minus Ms. Janis and baby Jillian! :)

When I got home from the party, I got some good snuggle time with my little boy!

This is a random pic but last week when we had our big winter storm, we had these huge icicles on our house! Matt brought this one in for us to see because is was SO LONG!! (I put gloves on bc it was so cold! ha!)

This week has been busy at work making up from all the snow days. I am really excited about the weekend though because one of my very best friends is coming up to stay with us! Stefan and Halle Kate haven't been here since August and I am just dying to see them! We plan to eat some good food and just hang out!

Lastly... The Westminster Dog Show was on tv this week! I missed the first night but caught the second. But a friend of mine sent me this link to see all Shiba's in the competition. I loved seeing all those little Romeo's smiling as they walked around the ring. You can see all the dogs in the competion at Westminster's website!

I wasn't a huge fan of the Scottish Deerhound that won but I am sure there were many deerhound owners that were very excited and proud!

mccoys 1st birthday.

Mccoy is my friend/co-worker's little boy. I love when he comes to visit us at the salon each week! I remember last year, I left for a vacation to Mexico and told Erin to not have her baby before I got back. Well... the day before I got back, I got a text saying she was in labor and the baby was coming that night! Then later that evening, Mccoy Emerson Box was born! He is such a joy to be around and I can't wait to watch him grow into a precious little man!

Matt and I went to his 1st birthday on Saturday and had so much fun!

The party theme was Sock monkeys!

Look at this cake that Erin made herself!! Crazy!!

Mccoy also shares his birthday with his grandpa so Erin made them each their own smash cakes!

Birthday boy with the Metropolis girls!

I just love this little boy!

And I love his momma too! Erin also went through infertility before getting pregnant with him so I can't even begin to thank her for the support she has given me in the last year! So glad to have these sweet friends in my life!

Brody and Dog party!

Brody Francis came over on Monday to play with "Nomeo" while his momma ran errands. I had the best time with him!! He is talking so much these days and I just love seeing him learn new words! I think he is seriously so smart! :)

He says "dat a" in front of everything so this was... "dat a doggie wa-wa".

He chased Romeo around the yard and Romeo LOVED it!

His other favorite thing at Juju's house is the "backum"! See video below... he seriously loves this thing. But honestly who can blame him, I love that Dyson too! :)

He wanted Romeo to have plenty of toys to play with! :)

About an hour after being here, it was during his afternoon nap time and I could tell he was getting tired. I just gave him is paci and his monkey and we laid down. I told him we were going to take a nap and go night-night. It was so funny because I pretended to be asleep and he just talked and talked then all the sudden he was still and quiet. I couldn't believe he had actually gone to sleep! I was so proud of myself! ha! And he slept for about an hour and 15 min before Jennifer got back and woke him up to go home!

Here are some CUTE videos of Brody talking and playing with Romeo!!

Monday night, Romeo was invited to his Shiba friend's Birthday Paw-ty!

How cute is this invitation?! His momma has a side job of designing invitations so that's why they are so cute! Check out her site at...http://girafficarts.blogspot.com.

Leslie and me with our shiba boys!

Romeo loved Socks! Notice his foot, it looks like he has on a white sock hence his name! :)

Romeo and Tucker wrestle the whole time they are together! It wears them out which we love!

Sweet shibas.

Not so sweet shibas. HA!

HAPPY 2nd BIRTHDAY TUCKER!

All the dogs got their own doggie cupcake and a bone for a party favor! So cute!

Some of the dogs getting their cupcakes!

Thanks Jennifer for letting keep your sweet boy and thanks Leslie for inviting Romeo and me to the paw-ty!! That was a really fun Monday! :)

Back to reality...

It feels so weird to be back in the real world and not walking around busy Manhattan! I seriously LOVED NYC! I never thought I could live in a huge city like that, but after last week, I really think I could live there! It was so weird when I got off the plane in Northwest Arkansas and there was no hustle and bussle and all I could see was green and birds chirping! ha!

Romeo was SUPER excited to see me! He sat in my lap all the way home from the airport and this is what my clothes looked like when we got home!!

To say he is shedding is a understatement!! I have been trying to brush him a lot so hopefully he will blow this coat fast with the warm weather here to stay!

My sweet, sweet husband and dog got me this beautiful orchid because they were so glad I was home! :)

Sunday was a great lazy day at home with my boys! Matt mowed and I did laundry and unpacked. I knew if I didn't do it then, it would be a week before it got done. I had a lot of shows on the dvr so I laid on the couch the rest of the night with this sweet boy!

Tonight was an exciting night! Jennifer and Josh Francis had their gender reveal party!! They had an ultrasound this morning and then waited to tell everyone until tonight at the party.

Sweet big brother Brody! I think he was just so excited to have so many people at his house!

Cupcakes were filled with colored icing so that when we bite into them, we all found out at the same time!

Team BOY!

Team Girl!

IT'S A GIRL!!! Jillian Kate will be here at the end of September! I can't wait to buy lots of pink for her!

I can't believe this baby boy is going to be a brother! It seems like yesterday that Jennifer was pregnant with him! I am so excited for my good friend and I'm glad that I get to be apart of her precious baby's lives! :)
