Babies, babies, babies - our family is definitely in a season of babies and I love it!! The best part is, it's not us! ha ha :) So I can just dote on other little babies, my nieces and nephews, and enjoy the joy and excitement for my sisters&brothers-in-law. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my own "babies", but there is something to being just past that stage, feeling very content and blessed with our family, and getting my baby fix at the same time. In the past year, we've welcomed two baby girls, Cambria(9mo) & Shiloh(3mo), and will welcome two more babies this fall!

I was so honored to be asked to make the cake for my sister-in-law Brittany's baby gender revealing party. I couldn't wait to rip open that envelope the day before the party to find out whether I'd be baking a blue or a pink cake! I had so much fun baking, decorating, making pops etc - I usually have some sort of major disaster happen in the midst of creating something, but everything actually turned out alright, yay!

The happy parents-to-be, first timers, Rudy & Brittany :) Doesn't she look stunning w/ that pregnancy glow?! They had everyone choose to wear a mustache pin for boy or pink bow for girl. They thought it was going to be a boy. . .

The cake and pops, I had SO much fun with these! It's a. . . .
.
GIRL!!! Yay, pink cake! They were surprised :)
.
M is so excited he's going to have another little cousin (ok, maybe he's more excited for the cake ;)
.
Both babies coming this fall will be girls, so fun that Kaylie will have so many girl cousins to grow up with - 4 so far! Don't worry, Matthew has one boy cousin as well, Kylian, closest to his age :) And I'm sure there will be more!

Holding my baby holding her baby cousin, Shiloh, my sis-in-law Simone's baby girl. We haven't gotten to see her much with our schedules, but I showed Kaylie a pic of Shiloh about a week ago and ever since every one of her babies has been Baby Shiloh. She was so excited to hold the real Shiloh! :)
.
Cambria, such a cutie!! She is Eddie & Briana's little one, just started crawling, so sweet :)

Asleep on the swing mid-party, this little party animal wore herself out :)

What a blessing a growing family is, I can't wait for just a few years down the road, getting together for holidays, parties, summer bbqs, such a fun family time!! I grew up in a small family, whom I love very much, but never really had much of the cousin experience - I'm just hoping and praying my kids cousin experience growing up is awesome :)
