Not just a baby shower... a Mustache Bash!

Our baby shower was Sunday (May 20th, 2012).  I was very excited to see everyone, but very excited for it to be over.  The week before I had hit exhaustion and getting the house ready was a lot of work, on lack of sleep.  The party turned out amazing and I don't think it could have been any better!

 Candy & Dessert Bar! 

 Candy & Dessert Bar!  I used my Silhouette to cut out all the flags in the cupcake and puddings that had mustaches & Jaxson's name on them.  Turned out super cute!

You can see everyone in the kitchen getting food.  Doug & Burt made amazing food in a hole in our yard!  :D  Pit BB-Q and used the Pork & Beef for tacos with rice, beans, salsa... so much yummyness!

Everyone getting their food and sitting down to eat!

 The banner above says "Mustache Bash" Hard to see with the lights.

"Jaxson" banner and the two games we played.  Diaper raffle & guess his stats that will be won once he finally makes his grand appearance.

We got a Jumpy with a slide for the kids!

Games again!

 Everyone outside before going in to get food. 

Matt & Doug

Everyone outside, and we also got a Game Trailer for the kids you can see in the back.

Mustache Bash!!!  Can't tell you how AMAZING the silhouette was when making the banners.  We didn't have one hideous store bought banner there!  All of them I made so they all matched (color wise) and it was nice to have his name on some of them!

Mustache & Tie Banner

 The Candy side of the Candy & Dessert bar!

My sister in law.  Candy bar model maybe in her future???  Oh oh oh!  You can also see in the background the candy boxes I made for the candy bar!  I cut all those on the Silhouette and glued a cute little label on them!  love it!

Over all it was so amazing!  Lots of gifts to spoil little Jaxson.  TONS of diapers, like so many I can't find room for all of them!  lol  Lots of people showed up.  I think the estimate was about 40 adults and like 12 children and only a few people didn't show.  So glad we got to share the day with everyone.

Addicted to Vinyl


As you can see, I got the Silhouette and I'm addicted.  I Vinyl like everything I own.  Today after I packed Jaxson's New diaper bad, I had to stick some vinyl some where.  So, first I put his name on the buckles on the straps, Jaxson and LaCoste one on each side.  I also added his name to the back of his wipes case... Must say I LOVE LOVE LOVE this wipe case, it's Skip*hop and the opening on the top slides.  This is amazing cause some of the ones I use for the daycare kids that come in their diaper bags drive me nuts cause sometimes they just will not snap shut!  And the bottom left is the holder for the dirty diaper trash bags.  :D  I made extras to put on his bottles and other random stuff too but I haven't gotten that far.   Might even stick some on the car seat and stroller.
