John Deere Themed Babyshower

Happy Hump Day!

Thanks to my 5 new followers--only 15 more to go by next Wednesday (6/15) to reach my goal of 300 followers in 3 months.  If you're not a follower yet...do it!!

Today's post involves some exciting news.  My cousin Lee is engaged and he and his fiancée are expecting a baby boy named Dylan at the end of the summer!  I couldn't be more thrilled and even though I'm not technically the future aunt (I think it's cousin twice removed or something like that), I told Lee I will be called Aunt Allie!

Lee and I on his farm!

My mom and I decided to throw Lindsay, his fiancée, a shower at the end of July.  Lee lives on a farm and is quite the country boy so I thought a John Deere theme would be appropriate.

When I first found out Lee was going to be a new Daddy I raced over to my favorite local baby store, Babystuff & Kids 2.  I saw this and decided that if the baby turned out to be a boy, I would have to get this.

I've never planned a shower and it's been quite some time since my mom has, so we're both very excited.  Here are some inspiration pictures!

Aren't these invitations cute?


We were thinking of getting a cake from Westhampton Pastry Shop.



Cupcakes could also be nice...

I was thinking it would be cute to decorate with John Deere toys that the baby could then have.


I also would love to make a diaper cake (something I had never heard of before blogging)!

Hopefully I can channel some of this amazingness!

Anyone have tips or ideas for me?  

Have a great day!
