Spoiled...

The last weekend of August was a BIGGIE for us! Not only did we get to celebrate five years of marriage (woah!) surrounded by many of our family and friends, we also celebrated Baby K at a shower in honor of the little miss! The party truly was a group effort and we are so thankful to everyone that made it possible. It was so great to gather friends and family together to prepare for the arrival of Baby K (who for all you that have been asking, remains nameless - our short list of three names will be headed to the hospital with us where we will meet our daughter and choose the name that suits her best :))

August 25, 2012... what a difference five years make!

Such a cute idea - everyone (including folks that couldn't attend the party) filled out baby stats...
lots of early October, mid-8 pound baby predictions!
Thanks John and Sommer for such a great way to commemorate the little miss
(and for the GORGEOUS flowers throughout the party) :)

Beautiful poolside setting for the party on an AMAZING Seattle day!

Lots of helpers to open gifts :)

Bob really got into the fun ;)

Our gracious hosts - thanks for welcoming everyone into your home Uncle Jim and Debbie Jean :)

Dad manned the BBQ (of course!) - look at all that yummy salmon!

Even college friends got in on the fun! Ali handled invites like a champ (with a teeny baby of her own!) and Becko made SUPER cute frames with baby pictures. Thanks, ladies!



The Kehrlis put together a great bar and brought a YUMMY cake (perfect for my MAJOR sweet tooth!) Thanks Catherine for picking such a delicious treat.

thanks Robie, Debra, Maddie and Chasie for the delicious food!



Two of three great-grandparents in attendance enjoying the sun!
(Bob's Grandma joined us to celebrate her 7th great grandchild too -
no photo evidence of that at the moment...)

Our new niece, Patrice, was a MAJOR highlight (as were all of the nieces and nephews) -
thanks for making the trek John & Sommer and Bill & Rhiana!

Such a fun way to prepare for our little girl - thanks everyone!

And if that wasn't enough celebrating... Earlier in August my awesome co-workers hosted an amazing lunchtime baby shower. We have one spoiled little girl already :)
