BIG BROTHER PARTY!!!!!

I know, I know, I haven't written in way too long.....so what do I mean by "Big Brother Party"?


MY CHARLESTON IS GOING TO BE A BIG BROTHER!!!!!





One morning a few months ago, Ashley and my Charleston FaceTimed me, which was nothing unusual. However, she said my Charleston had something he wanted to tell me; and then she held up an ultrasound picture, and she said "He's going to be a big brother!" NO WAY!!!!! I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT!!!!! I NEVER EVER EVER EVER EVER THOUGHT HE WOULD BE A BIG BROTHER!!!!!! I think, more than anything, I was in shock because it took awhile for it to sink in. I honestly didn't think it would ever happen. So of course I asked, do you know what it is???? 



CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?????? After talking with them, I cried for about 254 hours .... yes, I said 254 hours because I cried forever.....thanking God, thanking Ashley, thanking Cameron, and yes, thanking my Charleston. Because Charleston gets what he wants.......and guess what he wanted?????!!!! 

A BABY!!!!!

This little boy is going to join our family sometime in September, and I cannot wait to meet him. And again, I'm sure I will cry for another 254 hours. It's just me. It's what I do. 


So.......earlier this month, I gave my Charleston a BIG BROTHER PARTY. Ashley didn't want a baby shower, so I found a way around that!!!! Can I just say, that my little Charleston knows how to plan a party????!!!!! I have NEVER had so much fun picking things out with him. We talked, we laughed, we got mad at little mama & kicked her out of the planning (true story!), we shopped, we made decorations. So here come the pictures.


First, a theme....he wanted The Very Hungry Caterpillar. 



Then came our Hungry Caterpillar Project Day!!!!



Egg Crate Caterpillars



Toe Print Caterpillars






Hand Print Caterpillar




Balloon Painted Caterpillar




Very Hungry Caterpillar Paper Chain




And finally, the day of the BIG BROTHER PARTY arrived!!!!




The BIG BROTHER!!!!












The family of 3, soon to be 4 :)


We had the party at a restaurant called Table 26 in Turlock. They were absolutely amazing. They embraced my Charleston AND the party - helped us in every step of the way - & served us delicious food. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!! You made our day simply perfect.

Soon, I will be nana to 3 little boys. I am thankful.
