OH... BOY!

Baby Boy Bolerjack is on his way...

and we decided to throw a baby shower!

The theme of the shower... or what became my inspiration

was the phrase "OH...BOY!"

I used lots of "B"s for Baby...Boy...

and their last name is Bolerjack.

Plus- I love the way a monogrammed B looks-

Lori Bolerjack is the mother-to-be... she is a lifetime family friend, and very best friend of my sister, Brandy.
Viv, Jody, & Brandy all came up from St. George to pull this thing off...
Together,there is nothing we can't do! Plus we laughed quite a bit and had a good time working together on something for someone we love!
The colors were chartreuse green and brown to match her nursery...

The week before the shower I made all sorts of lollies and pinwheels out of scrapbook paper...

it is a good think I have a total scrapbook goddess hook-up... MARGIE!

I used various sized Chinese Lanterns in Brown and white zebra, green, brown and white.

My favorite piece of decor was this Oh Boy banner.

I saw one on Celebrations at home and LOVED IT!

I changed the colors and the font a bit... but I was pretty happy how it turned out.

I was sure glad my sister Jody came to town... she is a baker extraordinaire and made all sorts of fun cupcakes. We also had dipped fortune cookies, cheesecakes, red velvet cake, and pineapple coconut cream cakes.

I did monogrammed pennants and colorful circles for the cupcake toppers.

The cream cake is made in a jelly roll pan and so it isn't the most beautiful thing to have setting out. I didn't want it to look like a ward dinner so... we pre-cut the cakes and put them in little individual wrappers. A really good idea when the cake is yummy enough, but not pretty enough to serve.

I knew there were over 100 people invited so I wanted to serve something that was easy, I could do partially ahead of time, and was somewhat inexpensive to do...

ANSWER= PASTA!

I made red meat sauce, Alfredo sauce, and a pasta dish I made up and my family calls Pasta Milano.

Green salad, and pretty artisan bread... easy and yummy buffet!

It was a great night... There were over 100 people that came and the best thing was all the food got eaten and everyone had a fun night!

There is nothing quite like good food and good friends to welcome a much anticipated baby boy!
