Jewels of My Heart said...

I am excited Paula! I will just have to pray and get creative to raise the money.....
Mom.... are you there????????? Your daughter is getting quite "sassy" I do believe she needs a bar of soap in her little miss sassafrass mouth.

Jewels of My Heart said...

ohhhhhhhhhh it's so short now.... that is cool... now perhaps I won't get so lost. hehee

Tab said...

I'm here. It takes alittle more than soap to shut her down. LOL

April said...

I was on the phone to my dear friend Rachel helping her get on the chat. What am I being sassy about? I lost. HELP. Where did Kelly go?

Tab said...

Sorry I miss spelled addresses, for yur quilt blocks.

April said...

I am so excited that you are coming to Disneyland or Disney World Daleea.
I need to figure out where we are..It went short while I was on the phone and now I'm confused. Over 200 comments...this is wild and so much fun.

redmaryjanes said...

Are you all still there? Looks like we went quiet for a minute.
I am going through my e-mails to send out the gift list.

April said...

I'm here. Don't worry about the typing mom. We understood what you were saying.

Jewels of My Heart said...

I was reffering to your wisecrack about the blog address little MISS

Jewels of My Heart said...

Where did everyone go??????

Jewels of My Heart said...

April, I will plan on going but my Meeshka will need to come to... I couldn't go to Disney with out him. But, it will all come down to that stinkin' green thing called money!

April said...

Oh that...forgot already. Eliana is going to get away with so much if I don't sharpen my brain and keep it together.

Oh man Patrick is massaging my shoulders. This chat has gotten me all in knots. lol So much stress.

Tab said...

Hi rachel, have you made it to the chat yet, the two of us can tell lots of good storys on April. Just teasing you April. You are a wonderful daughter, and will make a super wonderful Mom

redmaryjanes said...

We would like to take Eli to Disney sometime soon, but we are limbo with Sophia

April said...

You can tease away mom...I have a turtle shell on...isn't that what mom's have to have.

Tab said...

I can't wait to be Ni Ni to Eliana

April said...

Well, maybe we should have the Disneyland thing be the whole families. Maybe we can get a group discount.

April said...

Did Kelly leave and I didn't know it. I think people have left and I haven't said goodbye.

Tab said...

Yes turtle shells is needed. And a tender heart.

April,
HAPPY BABY SHOWER!!! I'm so excited to be able to be a part of Eliana's special day! I would have never guessed that we would be able to share this special time together, with you in Washington and me way out here. : ) How does it feel being the expectant mama? The center of attention at your baby shower? : ) We feel so blessed to hold Eliana close to our hearts in prayer...she is such a precious girl. Can't wait to get our arms around her. If only I could see you, I'm know you have that motherly glow...Happy Baby Shower! Love you, Rachel : )

Tab said...

Deleea you are on my quilt blook list also.

Paula said...

Where is everybody??
I have to get showered and Hannah dressed, so I'll be away from the computer for a while.

redmaryjanes said...

What a beautiful comment Rachel, teared me right up.

Jewels of My Heart said...

Well friend...... thank you for having me at your beautiful shower.... Thank you Kimberley for all you have done.... I am praying for you April and your precious Eliana.
I need to go play with Peep... she is gazing out the window at her brother riding his bike and it is breaking my heart.
I will talk to you soon friend.... Have a beautiful day everyone!
Kimberley please send me her list when you get a chance.
hugs to everyone

redmaryjanes said...

I'm here Paula, so I'll cover for you : )

redmaryjanes said...

Thank you for everything Daleea, I will get the list right over to you.

April said...

I'm here in my mommy glow of un-showered stench. lol

Hi Rachel. I would like you all to meet Rachel. We have been friends as long as we can both remember. She is a dear friend. Thanks for coming. Hi Gracie (that is her beautiful daughter).

Paula said...

April,
YES, we can make the Disney trip to be whole families!!
Then us girls can sneak away for a cocktail while the hubbies are watching the kiddos!!

Jewels of My Heart said...

thank you so much for putting me on your block list... my very first block was from Kimberley. Extra special. I still need many, many, more. lol So I thank you!
Rachel that was beautiful........... now, go get in that bubble car and get Eliana!

April said...

Thanks for coming Daleea. Please don't get anything on that list. You have done so much already. I'm just thankful you were here to celebrate with me. Thank you for your friendship. Love you.

Paula said...

Welcome Rachel!! Hope to meet you in person one day!

Jewels of My Heart said...

No, Kimberley..... Thank you.....
enjoy your day ladies

April said...

Sounds perfect Paula. Love the idea of the hubbies watching the kiddos. That way we can also ride the big rides. Okay, I'm wanting to go to Magic Mountain like right now so I can ride the big rides one last time before I am too old to enjoy them.

April said...

Kimberley,
Thank you so much for this shower. I am having such a great time. What were you talking about fund raising? I love the idea of no needles.

Paula said...

Oh, April, give me a break, you are such a spring chicken, I'M the one who may be holding up the group with my walker. haha

April said...

I told you once the coffee got in that I would be doing the Daleea conversation. lol

Rachel are you there?

redmaryjanes said...

You are so welcome April. I am very happy to be able to host your shower with my fab co-host Paula.

You are a great woman. It is a blessing to know you.

redmaryjanes said...

Man, I turn 40 this year.

Paula said...

Kimberly I haven't done anything to help you. Its all you girl, your blog looks great by the way!!

April said...

LOL. That isn't an option Paula...you are going to have a year old baby and a newborn soon. You HAVE to be a spring chicken.

I thought you were in the shower? Don't you have another baby shower today? That one shower and proper clothes are required.

Paula said...

So, Kimberly you're a spring chicken too! I don't even want to talk about birthdays! You won't see any mention of it on my blog when mine comes :)

Tab said...

April is so afraid of needles, I can't believe she even thought about this.

redmaryjanes said...

Paula girl, you can't hide from me....someone will tell me when your big day is and I'll do a HUGE post about it : )

April said...

You ladies are the best. I just love it. I am feeling like a spring chick all of a sudden. Makes me feel like this is not my only shot at being a mom. Maybe I will be like Paula at ...well I won't tell your age, but like her with newborns when I'm X years old. That would be great.

Paula said...

Paulettes shower is tomorrow, I got mixed up. And yes, I'd better go take my shower, I hear Hannah grunting and I know what that means..poo poo comin
sorry to be gross at your shower :)

redmaryjanes said...

April,

Verna and I want to design a fundraiser for you.

We just need to come up with something good to raffle off or give away to somebody.

redmaryjanes said...

Paula,

If she isn't used to a lot poo poo talk, she will be soon!!!

Paula said...

No, you won't Kimberly because I think April is the only one who knows and she'll be paid off LOL

April said...

I know I know and I even know how OLD she is going to be...should I spill the beans right here and now?

Paula said...

You had better not, little missy!

redmaryjanes said...

Oh yeah....we're on it!

April said...

So who is going to be the high bidder for the information or will it be the lady hiding behind that great body and those newborns?

Paula said...

name your price :)

Tab said...

Look out Paula, she will spill the beans. If not now later.

Paula said...

I know Tab, thats what I was afraid of. April and I are A LOT alike :)

April said...

Kimberley you and Verna don't have to do anything for us. You do so much for everyone and we will be fine. I think I'm going to be brave and do the plasma thing. You have so much going on and you are giving me this great shower.

redmaryjanes said...

It will all come out in due time.

I'm sorry I seem to be gone, but I keep getting e-mails for the shower.

Paula said...

I'm off to change the poo poo
Love you guys!

April said...

LOL...name your price. Don't worry I'm pretty cheap...yeah right.

redmaryjanes said...

Too Late April : )
Verna and I have already been working on it.
We just need something good to raffle off.

Tab said...

Then be warned, she is devious.
And she has you number.

April said...

I love poo talk... I have some great stories from when I used to watch babies and I have a dog. Go get Hannah changed.

April said...

You are really getting emails about the shower? That is crazy.

April said...

Okay, I think Paula is gone now...I will give it a second and then I will tell all. You know she expects me to.

redmaryjanes said...

She's going to go bonkers on you!

April said...

Ya think?

April said...

Her birthday is in September...but I don't remember what day.

redmaryjanes said...

Now honestly, do you have anything laying around that we can raffle off? Maybe I can get Daleea and Verna and maybe some other ladies to partner up and give away 3 or 4 blog headers, and we can auction them off on your blog. The holidays will be coming up and people want Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas Headers.

redmaryjanes said...

I have a Sept. birthday too, now I'm curious about when her day is.

redmaryjanes said...

The fundraiser in me is coming out.

April said...

I'm on the phone with her and she won't tell me...hang on we will be right back.

Tab said...

By the way, Aprils BDay is May 2 Ann. June 9,

redmaryjanes said...

Good Job Mom! I'll get May 2nd on my calendar.

redmaryjanes said...

That is too funny! April, you are trying to get the date out of Paul?

April said...

RMJ- You know my birthday. I got Paula's birthday...

April said...

I hope we get to 300 comments. Wouldn't that be great. Okay, I'm back in the saddle again. I promised not to tell Paula's age but her birthday is September 13th.

redmaryjanes said...

Yes, I caught your birthday this year.

Which day is it?

redmaryjanes said...

Mine is the 28th. So we are close, but it would have been cool to be the same.

I'm sure you will hit 300. Your shower is blowing up my blog! : )
I'm so happy with how it has turned out.

I hope you are too.

April said...

I'm thinking about what I have. I have some little hand knitted baby outfits my mother-in-law made and I don't think she will notice one more being gone. I just made another tag blanket. lol Let me think.

redmaryjanes said...

The best fundraisers I have seen have one big prize and people donate around $10 to be entered to win. We just need to find the one big prize.

April said...

One big prize. Hum. I have a thought. We will see if my mom freaks...I have a check that her and my dad sent for the adoption and maybe I could buy something with it and make more money? What do y'all think?

April said...

Oh boy...no one is talking...getting nervous.

redmaryjanes said...

I don't want Mom to freak. Let me know what you think. It's just an idea. Whatever you want to do is what we'll do.

redmaryjanes said...

Well, I think we might just be winding down a little bit. I'm going to keep the shower up all day though. I know that there will be comments all day long on here for the list.

April said...

I have a Chicco Carset/Stroller combo that is brand new and cost $300 that I will not be able to use. The car seat is rated the safest. We could just do the car seat alone...because the stroller I can use.

redmaryjanes said...

Why won't you be able to use it?

April said...

It does seem to be just you and me talking. By there being two winners it seems like there have been 10 people that have requested the list. That is so exciting. Thanks for doing this. It has been so much fun.

redmaryjanes said...

I think that would be a great giveaway.

April said...

It is an infant carrier and Eliana will be too big. It still has tags on and everything. The stroller I can use, but the car seat I will not be able to.

redmaryjanes said...

There have been 11 people so far. One woman named Lisa sent me an e-mail. I don't know who she is for sure though, so I am waiting for confirmation back from her. She's probably someone I talk to all the time and just don't recognize her hotmail address. I'm sure I'll be embarrassed when she tells me who she is.

There will be more throughout the day though I'm sure.

10 is a good shower turn-out though : )

redmaryjanes said...

The car seat sounds perfect then! Can we find a good photo of it on-line with it's safety rating?

Tab said...

That is fine with Mom and what about your car sit that is to small for Eliana

April said...

I am so surprised. I was thinking if we got to 5 I would be happy so I am ecstatic. I don't know who Lisa is either. How much fun to find out though. I will be coming back all day..I usually do anyway you do so many post and I love reading the comments.

April said...

I will do my research after I shower and get you all the information. Thanks mom. My parents bought it for us so thank you guys. I can get good pictures if I can't find it online.

redmaryjanes said...

I'll talk to Verna about it. You will need to get a chip in for your blog. If you don't know what that is, I will help you. People click on the chip in and make their donation to your paypal account. If you don't have a paypal account, please get one...it will help a lot.
You will get an e-mail a confirmation by name of each person who makes a donation and you can enter them into the raffle to win the carseat.

redmaryjanes said...

Sounds like we have a plan : )

April said...

I'm hoping I'm the 300th comment. Okay here it goes.

redmaryjanes said...

You are!!
That is so cool!
This was a good shower.

redmaryjanes said...

I just received an im from Verna asking if you have a donate button on your blog.

April said...

Yeah...I was...okay, back to what I was saying. I do have a paypal account but I need to figure out the chip in thing.

Here is what the carseat looks like...there is much better pictures out there and I will get a good description. I just wanted you to see what we are dealing with.

April said...

No I don't have one.

redmaryjanes said...

That is sharp! You have the base too?

April said...

This is the whole system that I have.

redmaryjanes said...

I sent Verna the link for baby seat that the base. You keep the stroller. We'll see what she can design. She is amazing.

redmaryjanes said...

Ok, I am going to sign off and join my family. I'll keep coming back to check the comments though!

Have a wonderful day my friend!

April said...

Thanks. Have a wonderful day. Good bye everyone who is left. lol. I'm going to go shower and maybe see if I can sew something to sell on my blog. Thank you all for your support. This was so much fun. I will be checking back through the day.
