A Baby Sprinkle

A few weeks ago I had the wonderful privilege of giving my sister, Megan, a baby sprinkle for baby girl #3! Megan was on full bed rest at this point, but was so happy to relax and enjoy spending time with her girlfriends and family.  Our theme was, "Ready to Pop"...

This was a Memory game with pregnancy terms listed on the cards.  If you correctly matched a pair of cards, then you received a candy bar that was related to your term (Example:  Baby Giggles= Snickers)

I couldn't have done the decorating without the help of my mom, Aunt Janet, and cousin Leah.  I had an amazing decorating team!! 

Thankfully, the party day was nice and sunny; however, that affected my photo of the 'Welcome Baby' clothesline.  Anyway, it was a nice gift surprise for Megan. 

Reading to Pop food station (Various types of POPcorn, POPular cheese ball, fruit POPS, and of course cakePOPS that I learned how to make) 

Anxiously awaiting baby girl Ferris!! 

Congratulations Megan! 

Indiana State Fair

After our move up to Indiana, we decided that it would be a good idea to squeeze in a trip to the Indiana State Fair before I had to head back to school.  Emersen, myself, Todd, Nina, Zoe, and Logan had a great time! Even though I'm from IN, I've never experienced a state fair and it was just like another other 'county' fair (Soybean Festival, Corn Festival) just with more and more things to look at, ride, and of course eat! 

"Tractor Tram"! It was so much better than walking the whole way! 

We tried the petting zoo area, but as you can see, Emersen wanted no part of the animals.  Um, she is doing the 'bathroom' hug so she doesn't get any germs :) 

Then we were off to the games and rides.  She was very hesitant to ride the rides, plus not as tall as Logan and Zoe, and finally, she has a crazy mom who fears carnival rides. So....we decided to play a fishing game and she did an awesome job! 

Foofa prize!! Happy Girl!!

Then, all of a sudden, Emersen's attitude about the rides changed and she decided she wanted to go on a ride with Todd, Logan, and Zoe.  Hopefully you can see her right next to Todd.  Of course she picked the boat ride that went in all directions, but had a great time. Todd has the video of this and all the girls hysterically laughing, so I will post that when I can. 

Off to the next ride; the motorcycles!

We had a great time at our first trip to a State Fair!!
