Saturday was such a special day! I got to celebrate Baby Gotcher’s pending arrival with a baby shower hosted by my dearest friend Julie. She transformed the backyard of her Gilbert home into a lovely, nautical themed wonderland so I could have the darling outdoor shower I’d always dreamed of. It was perfect, complete with absolutely wonderful weather and my very own Pinterest-inspired diaper cake! Thanks to our awesome families who helped out with delicious food and dessert and the many wonderful friends who were able to join in on the fun, Baby Gotcher and I could not have felt more loved. It was so much fun to have so many special people all in the same place and be able to share in this time with all of them. I couldn’t be more thankful!

I brought along my camera of course, but I didn’t spend much time behind it other than grabbing a few details shots along the way. Luckily, several of my gal-pals were willing to take charge of the “big scary camera” so I’d still have lots of photo memories to commemorate the occasion – thank you Meghan, Stacy & Julie! You gals ROCK!

Can you believe these? One of our brides/friend made these camera themed burp cloths for us! So special!

It wouldn’t have been a party without some of our beautiful RD Brides!

Two of our brides are expecting as well so we had to grab a “Bump Buddies” picture together!

I couldn’t stop smiling and I’m guessing our little guy felt the same way  even if you can’t tell on the outside :-)

This handsome guy made a guest appearance at the end of the party to help load all the fun baby goodies into the car. Love him!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to Julie and everyone else who helped make it so special! I’m so blessed to have so many amazing women in my life! Love you all! Can’t wait to introduce all of you to our little man in a few short months! He’s pretty lucky to be born into such a wonderful group of people.
