The Best Baby Shower Ever!

Jenny came home to Arizona to visit this Summer while Nick was out on field exercises, getting prepared for his inevitable deployment this Fall. We took advantage of this opportunity and had the Best Baby Shower ever for Jenny and Jaxon.

All the Mamas, Grandmas, and Great Grandmas... how fun for Jaxon to see this picture someday... Grandma Lolly, Mama, Great Grandma Reba, Great Grandma Barbara, Grandma Carmen, and Grandma Sunny.

Jenny's "Baby Bump". And she gave her baby bump a name.....it's Jaxon!

Drinking Games! Everyone enjoyed the Beer (rootbeer) drinking games...and yes, they are drinking from a baby bottle! Yep...that's Aunt Diane, Aunt Aubrey, Uncle Mitch and Uncle Tommy!

And the winner is....Uncle Tommy! But Aunt Aubrey was so close to taking him down!





Gurgle, burp, gurgle, burp, burp, burp!



Oh what Fun! And as you can just imagine, all these guys needed a good burping when they were done!

Grandma And Grandpa, amazed at all the nice gifts everyone brought for Jaxon!

Eewww....The poopy diaper game! We caught Garrett and Uncle John cheating when they were licking the diapers to see what kind of chocolate bar it was.......

That was just too wrong for pictures!

Uncle Cameron and Aunt Aubrey chillin' on the back patio....

What an awesome cake! Thanks to Grandma Sunny!

Even Jaxon's Grandpa's are in on the Drinking Games!

Grandma Lorna couldn't be here, but she sent this handmade Army camo quilt for Jaxon...I am sure this will be Daddy's favorite quilt!

Grandma Lolly couldn't resist the old school sock monkeys. Hopefully Jaxon will have fun with this quilt.

And here was the highlight of the party...everyone had tears in their eyes. Nick sent Jaxon a gift for the shower. Jenny opened it and just fell apart. He sent a Build a Bear Army dog and when you press his hand, Nick's voice says "Daddy loves you, Jaxon". Jenny also received a similar bear when she and Nick began dating, with a different message of course.

It was a very tender moment!

This was just too cute!
