Ground Breaking....Samford Family Style

Yes, we're odd, but I think my family has always been considered a little odd, so we embrace it!

My parents are getting ready to embark on the journey that is building a house with their son-in-law (Seth) designing and building it. If that's not a recipe for family disaster, I don't know what is! :-) Kidding! Anyway, the building process is about to get started so we had a "Ground Breaking" photo op today.

Ava was working hard with her shovel!


Reese surveyed the grounds for us.


She was working so hard the poor baby cut her cheek!


Jacob Sisters - my mom made these cute sweaters for them. Brightened up the brown around us!


Samford Sisters (now she's just days away....and I'm sure not appreciating me posting this!)


More house and baby progress to come!

Cole's Shower!

On Sunday we had my sister Nicole's shower. I had hyped up the shower to Ava all morning and she kept talking about how she was going to go to "Cole's Shower". As the shower went on during the day, Ava kept saying, "I go Cole's shower" and I would say, we're at Cole's shower, and it would be a back and forth debate about her going to Cole's shower. As you will see from one of the pics below, the shower didn't have much of an impact on her, she was looking for something better apparently!

The lovely Aunt Cole, just weeks away! I made her hold the animal balloon....I don't know why



Nicole's sister-in-law Kristen (shower co-host) made this adorable diaper cake



Some decor from the day (Giant animal balloons can benefit any party!)


Soon to be Grandma Davis and Bebe (we'll see if baby Davis calls my mom by that)


The diaper bag that my mom and I made for Nicole


Ava painting her toes while Nicole opens gifts (can't be bothered by gifts if they are not for her)

Reese was entertained by the balloons ALL day. Here she is with Great-Grandma James




Can't wait for the day I get to post my new nephew's pic on the blog! I've been anxiously waiting my turn to be the crazy aunt at the hospital! :-)
