Welcome Baby Kaleb!

April 8, 2013

If you asked me about kids more than 72 hours ago, I’d say, “Umm…yeah. Cute.” Then that would be the end of my conversation.

Sure they’re cute and cuddly, but I never really had a strong connection to anything that wore a diaper. But this weekend changed everything — my nephew, my god son, and the first baby in our family was born and O.M.G. I can’t get enough.

Welcome baby Kaleb.

Kaleb’s mom (my sister) had a tough 50-hour labor and we anxiously spent the weekend in the hospital waiting for his arrival. When he came, we were all instantly obsessed.

He may live another state over, but I can’t wait to take him running… err…I mean take him to ice cream… err…I mean do whatever normal aunts do. He’s not even my kid and I just can’t wait to spoil him rotten.

Now where can I get a baby tri kit?

Baby-Oh-Baby, It’s A Baby Shower!

February 4, 2013

It’s after weekends like these that remind you no matter how much your family can drive you crazy, family is a beautiful thing.

I headed to Reno this weekend to throw my little sister’s baby shower and I was ecstatic to celebrate her and soon-to-be nephew, Kaleb. The theme was “chalk” with burst of baby blue, complete with a lunch, dessert, mimosas and more.

I kept the games to a minimal amount: yarn around the belly, plate on the head to draw the baby’s face, babies in ice cubes and guess the baby’s stats.

The boys also celebrated with their own “diaper party” – bring a package of diapers and play poker.

Happy baby shower, Caroline, and we can’t wait to meet you baby Kaleb!

Baby blue game prizes that read: Baby-Oh-Baby, You’re A Winner!

Chicken salad sandwiches, Chinese chicken salad and veggie pasta salad.

Delicious lemon blueberry cupcakes made by my cousin, Jacqueline. Other desserts included peanut butter blossoms, rice krispy treats, banana bread, brownie bites and milk shots.

Let’s revisit these sandwiches for a second because they were simply amazing. With chicken, cranberries, celery, green onions, and sweet pickles, mixed in a dressing with the perfect secret ingredient: curry powder. I’d highly recommend these for any party. (Recipe Via)
