The theme of Sheila's baby shower was

"Come Celebrate Sheila's Little Pumpkin"

Sheila's Shower!

Yesterday I drove over to Buffalo for my Sister-in-Law Sheila's BABY SHOWER!

It was so much fun! I am so glad I was able to go!

She will be having a BOY, due October 16.

(I am rooting for a 10/10/10 baby! See what you can do about that... K?)

 Sheila opening the card I made her!

 Gifts... she got lots!

 Gift from Katie (next to her) :)

 Yes, Baby Boy, your mom is HOT!

 She is going to KILL me for this one... but I think her belly is ADORABLE!... and this is the only shot I got!

(You'll thank me later!)

One of my favorite decorations...

The Pumpkin Fleming Family!

Sheila has some amazing friends in Buffalo! The shower was BEAUTIFUL! There was a great turn out, and she got a lot of great things for the new baby!!!

Congratulations Rob & Sheila!

Can't wait to meet your little boy!!

(Remember Little One 10/10/10 would be a pretty awesome birthday!)

The Great New York State Fair

Saturday Mom, Sarah, Sophie, Ella, and I went to the Fair.

We had tons of fun!

Here is Sophie & Ella waiting for Mu & Mommy to get out of the bathroom so we could go in...

Sophie got to hold a baby chick in the 4H building. She was so cute with it! She even kissed it on it's head!

Mom in her cute hat!! She was looking at the baby pigs... her favorite part of the Fair!

Ella wanted to walk everywhere... here she is coming out of the cow building! Ella is having a blast!!! Mom looks a little nervous!

Ella zonked out half way through the day!

Sophie followed shortly there after!

Rob & Sheila

A couple of weekends ago we went to Buffalo for the weekend to visit Rob & Sheila!

We had a BLAST!

Unfortunately I didn't take very many pictures :(

Oh well. We went to a Scottish Festival! It was fun... but we didn't stay long.

We went to Fudruckers!!! It was SOOO GOOD!!

Sheila & Rob

Andrew & I

THAT IS THE GOOD STUFF...

We also went bowling! Rob kicked us all! Check out 9 & 10 .... 4 STRIKES IN A ROW!!!

Now that is EXCITEMENT!

We stayed over night, and I remembered how much I love air conditioning!

Went to church in the morning, and came home to a WONDERFUL Sunday dinner! Amazing!

Thank you SO MUCH Rob & Sheila for having us! It is always such a blast to be with you guys!

We cannot wait to do it again ... well, I guess we'll have to!
