Showering Danis & Drew

My mom and several other women hosted a shower for Danis and Drew this weekend at our home in Conway. I got to go home to help (lots of cleaning and decorating), and my sister came home as well! We had such a great time and I think the shower was a success. Here are a few pictures:

First, the cake, drinks and dessert room.

Present time!

Danis is super excited about something. :)

Great gift idea. Wok with all the Asian seasonings and spices you could ever need:

Danis's great-grandmother quilted every one of the grandchildren a quilt before she passed away. Danis's mother saved it to give to Danis for her wedding. So sweet.

Look at all the great gifts they got!

Per usual, I just said something super funny:

The three amigos. So fun catching up with Christin. Can't wait to meet Baby R at Danis's wedding.

Conway Re-Design

Just a few pictures of my mom's redecorated house. It is gorgeous!

Here's the first view of the den. Love the new chair and ottoman.

Another view of the den.

Third den view. The presents on the new table are not always there... just for Danis' shower!

This is the front living room. The color yellow in the first picture is the most accurate (it's not near as bright of a yellow as the second picture makes it seems).

The kitchen. Again, it's not that bright of a green. I love the new china hutch (and I decorated that piece myself)!

You can see more of the re-design in the next post with pictures of Danis' shower.

Faces

This is a random post, but here it is. As you may know, my computer crashed over the break, leaving me with a blank computer slate for the second time in two years. I lost everything... again. All of my pictures, etc. Then last week my phone started a quick trek to the phone graveyard. It wasn't turning on, wouldn't connect to my computer, and I realized I might lose all my pictures on my phone as well. Then I got really upset. I was concerned I would lose all my pictures of my Dad. So once when my phone actually did turn on I sent several pictures of him to myself so that I could have them no matter what. And now I'm sharing them with you. Enjoy... the faces of my Dad. These are just a few and the most recent, but they're what I've got now.

This is a great one... look how good he looked.

St. Patrick's Day last year... we were at MD Anderson.

Sweetly resting. Quite rude of me to take his pic with his defenses down.

Great picture of Mom and Dad.

At my brother's rehearsal dinner.

Enjoying the sun and beauty during his short time here on Earth.

Miss you Daddy. You have such a beautiful face.
