The Fantasia Family: {a baby shower}

{a baby shower}

I gave my friend, Jen, a baby shower at my house last night, which I have never done before. It was a lot of fun to celebrate her upcoming baby girl, mostly because I actually got to buy pink things which I never find myself doing these days. I made her a diaper cake as a gift which was a little time-consuming, but very fun. I love all things crafty, so I actually enjoyed it. There was plenty of great food at the shower and my friend Lisa, who helped me host, made the beautiful trifle pictured as well as an AMAZING spinach dip. So good! For party favors, I dipped fortune cookies in pink (dyed) white chocolate and sprinkled chocolate sprinkles on top. They turned out really cute. However, I would like to mention that when I ate one, my fortune was more of an "unfortune". It read: "Today is a disastrous day. If you can't beat 'em, join 'em." What? I specifically paid for FORTUNE cookies. What a rip off. Haha.

I was so sad when almost everyone had left and I realized I had forgotten to get a group picture. Bummer. Jen (the mommy-of-honor) is standing next to me in the white. She is naming her baby girl, due on March 24th, Teagan Kay Wegner and also has an almost three-year-old baby boy named Kai who, I'm sure, will be a great big brother.

for laughs...

8.23.2011 - As I leaned down to kiss Eli goodnight he puckered up and grabbed my face and started tilting his head from side to side, not letting go. Mom (after prying him off): "Eli? What on Earth was that?" Eli: "I was kissing you like a princess, Mommy."

7.30.2011 - At church the Primary teacher asked Eli, "what are some rules in your home?" Eli: "No biting!" Teacher: "That is a very good rule, why do you think that's a good rule?" Eli: "Because biting can hurt my teeth."

6.14.2011 - Dean: "I love you, Mom. You're always so pretty." Mom: "Thank you, Dean. I love you too." Dean: "But I love you even if you're not pretty." Mom: "Well, that's good. But which is it? I though you said I was always pretty." Dean: "You are. Except when you're in your pajamas... but I still love you."

4.25.2011 - Dean: "Mom, I need you to start writing down every funny thing I say and sending it to my friend Landon's house."

4.23.2011 - Eli: "I'm three and I love to slide but when I'm four I'm going to be scared of sliding, okay Mom?"

3.22.2011 - Dean: "Mom, I wish I was 26 instead of 4." Mom: "Why? Being 4 is awesome." Dean: "I know. But then I could be old like you." (Uh, gee. Thanks. Dare I tell him I'm 27?)

2.19.2011 - After an exhausting soccer game during which Dean's best bud Jordan apparently ran faster than him. Dean (with a little bit of annoyance in his voice): "Why are Jordan's shoes faster than mine?"

2.14.2011 - Mom: "Okay boys, you have to go to bed on time tonight so Mommy and Daddy can have a Valentine's date together." Dean: "That sounds fun. Can I come?" Mom: You wouldn't want to come. We're going to be boring." Dean: "Why? What are you going to do?" Mom: "We are just going to give each other lots of kisses." Dean: (After pondering for a minute and with a bashful smirk on his little face) "That's kinda gross... buuuut I guess that's okay."

1.12.2011 - Dean: "Can you have two husbands, Mom?" Mom: "Who else would you have me marry?" Dean: "Me. Does that mean that I have to give you my CTR ring for you to wear?" Mom: "Aw, that's so sweet, Dean. But you should keep your ring so you can always remember to choose the right." Dean: "Alright, then I'll get you one from the machines at Walmart. Those ones are WAY bigger than the one Dad got you!" (For the record, the one Dad got me is plenty big. But it sure doesn't have candy inside. The kid's got a point.)

11.25.10 - (As Dad keeps driving past gas stations on our Thanksgiving road trip.) Dean: "Mom, Dad keeps passing gas!"

9.22.10 - Mom: "Did you have fun playing at your friend's house today?" Eli: "Yeah, and I probably didn't bite David." Mom: "What? Did you bite David?" Eli: "Probably."

10.15.09 - Dean: "Mom, help. My nose is walking." Mom: "Don't you mean running?" Dean: "No. It's not going that fast."

10.1.09 - (As Dad caught Dean pestering a bug.) Dean: "Don't worry, Dad. This bug will be dead in twenty minutes."

9.19.09 - Mom: "Sometimes people get cranky when they feel sick." Dean: "Oh, then I think Daddy gets sick a lot."

7.17.09 - (When Mom had the flu.) Dad: "Mommy is puking." Dean: "Cool! Can I see?"

4.3.09 - Dean: "I like spiders because they have 'ape' legs."

2.19.09 - Mom: "Are you being a cowboy?" Dean: "No, I'm being a horse. But only boys can be horses, and girls can only be cows."

2.4.09 - (Dean with a Mr. potato head part stuck around his ankle.) Dean: "It's stuck! It's stuck! Please get it off me." Mom: "Oh no, Dean! I think it's stuck forever." Dean: (with a sob) "If you were Daddy you could do it."

1.29.2009 - Mom: "Dean, why are you naked?" Dean: "Because I just took all my clothes off."
