New Baby Nephew Part 1

I did find that anniversary pic of Matt and I. We are at the fish hatchery, you can see it in the background.
So my sister is having my new nephew! 

Here are some group shots of Naomi Grace Jones baby shower. 
Brayden Michael Jones is due August 19, 2013

Grace's baby shower is June 22nd the morning before our family reunion. Here Grace is 32 weeks pregnant. Here is a shot with family friends and church friends.


Here Grace and her friends.

Here Grace is with family. Jones' are left and Smith's are on the right.

Three generations of mothers:
Pauline Giles Smith (75), Diana Lynn Smith Jones (55) and Naomi Grace Jones (18)


Grace is so much like mom, she would totally deny it, but her mannerisms, her build and so many other elements are like mom. Mom has supported Grace and loved her through every day.

All us girls: My baby sisters are such beauties! I love them
Elisabeth Rose, mamma/nana, Naomi Grace, me, Lydia Hope, Rebekah Faith

Baby Brayden will be so loved.

  All the girls helped to make this day so special for Grace. Abbey (Adam's girlfriend helped out too)




Abbey Smith (cousin) helped set up, bring food (Abbey, Sara, Amy, and Pam were wonderful)
These newbie girls were so funny trying to decide what these new baby things were called and what they were used for.
 One of our activities was to paint on the baby onsies. So grace has a onsie painted for each month of Brayden's first year. She is to take a photo each month with the baby in its onsie.


This skinny girl will have no problems with getting off that baby weight. We got fiery cheetoes as per her request. :)





We had such a good time. All the friends and family that came really showed so much love and support for Grace. We had fun games like guess the baby belly measurement, find the poopy diaper (each seat had a napkin folded like a baby diaper with mini pretzel sticks dipped in chocolate for a treat) one diaper had green paint smeared, guess the baby socks, and paint the onsies.

We are giving Brayden a grand welcome.
