Welcome baby Easton!

I am so sorry for the lack of update on baby Easton.  I promise, this was not intentional!  Easton's mommy had a pretty rough day on Friday, and asked everyone to please not post any pictures until she could.  She was feeling better today and finally posted his stats and a picture, so I felt it was OK to finally post an update.

Mr. Easton was a big boy.  He weighed 8# 9oz and was 20 1/2" long!  (He was over a pound bigger than they thought he would be.)  He also has a head-full of black hair and the biggest cheeks of any baby I've ever seen!

Isn't he the most precious little man ever?

Mama and baby are doing great!

As Easton was coming into this world, my mother-in-law was being discharged from the hospital.  She's still not 100%, but hopefully will be better than normal soon!

Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers!

Even though it's Friday the 13th....

It's going to be a great day!

My precious mother-in-law has been in the hospital this week, and at one point, we were all extremely worried about her prognosis.

However, she got some good news yesterday and will hopefully get to come home today!

And while my mother-in-law gets to (hopefully) come home from the hospital, we are excited for another family member to be going IN the hospital!

My niece (Marty's nephew's wife) Misty, was admitted to the hospital at midnight to deliver Easton today!  I can't wait to meet the newest edition to the family!!

We would appreciate any good thoughts and prayers for my mother-in-law and for Misty, Matthew, and baby Easton!

It's going to be a great day....

I can just feel it!

Now we are just waiting on Baby Easton!

This was an extremely busy weekend!  Not only did we have a birthday party for Miss Mallory, at the exact same time, we had a baby shower for Marty's nephew, Matthew, and his wife Misty.  They are expecting baby Easton in January!

Needless to say, there was a lot of running around between venues last week.

Marty's sisters are SO talented when it comes to parties.  They can do just about anything! This shower was no exception.

We started with a small white room, and by the time Saturday got here, it was completely transformed!

Now, tons of pictures!

(Sorry they are so out of order. Blogger was giving me fits trying to upload them!)

The adorable cake made by Marty's sister (and grandma to be), Penny.

THIS is even more adorable! A diaper TRICYCLE!  Also made by Penny.

Incredible cake made by Marty's sister, Candie.  Look out Cake Boss....you have competition!

It wouldn't be a baby shower without cigars, would it?

Cake Pops.

Onesie cookies, also made by the Hill (Rosser) ladies!

The kisses had Easton's name on the bottom.

Sour Straws....they were the biggest hit of all the candy.

My crazy niece, Shelby.

I love the way they arranged the fruit using a cupcake stand!

Some of Easton's loot!

Thank goodness!  LOL

These were bacon-wrapped cheese cracker things with brown sugar.  They were SO good!

The spread with just some of the food.  I had to leave for Mallory's party before everything was out.

Oh my goodness....these hand-made cheese-it's were SO good!  Made by Penny, of course.

The proud daddy, Matthew.

Sign in table.

The beautiful mom-to-be, Misty.

This is the most hysterical picture ever.  This is Cliff, Matt's best friend.  He is such a ham, and the look on his face is priceless.  Cliff is about to get the shock of his life...his wife is expecting twins (a boy and a girl) in a few months!

They got so many nice things.  Baby Easton won't have to wear the same outfit twice during the first year!   We can't wait to meet this precious little man!
