Daddy Shower















For a change of pace, there won’t be any mention of pink in this blog! It will be hard for me though! We have been blessed with several baby showers and so many wonderful gifts and Tyler has been very grateful (also grateful that he doesn’t have to go!) But this weekend he got a mini-version of his own baby shower! His best friend Chad emailed us on Friday before we left work to let us know that he had several gifts for Paige and he would be bringing them to the evening festivities. You never know with Chad what it might be...it no doubt would be good whatever it is because he is an amazing gift giver but there is just no telling...it really wouldn’t have surprised us if he showed up at our house with a live pony! The only clue he gave was the gifts were not from any registry but that Paige really needed and would love the things he got. When we met up with everyone, sure enough, Chad was waiting with a table full of beautifully wrapped gifts! I told Tyler it was his turn to open gifts and I would take pictures. Disclaimer: hopefully my dad and uncles miss this entry because they aren’t going to like it!
Tyler and Chad are HUGE University of Texas fans which is very hard to swallow for their friends and family that are die hard OU fans! Well, As you can imagine, Chad provided 2 years worth of UT gear for Paige!! From 6 months to 24 months she has t-shirts, onesies, and the cutest cheerleader outfit including bloomers AND a very comfy blanket to lay on while she watches football with her daddy! I don’t think anything could have got him more excited than having sports gear for his little girl! We will also have to track down some Astros gear for her since we are big fans and try to go watch a few games a year in Houston.
So Uncle Chad and Daddy are very excited to have some of their manly past times to share with the newest member of the family and are excited to get her into watching sports and teaching her how to play poker. As long as I can keep her coming home without swearing and passing gas, I will be happy for her to have her bonding time with the guys! Enjoy the pics of the mini-man shower!!
