Our Gender Reveal Party

More fun pictures to show you from our gender reveal party! 


I added a little glitter to the mason jars for extra sparkle! Details on that DIY next week! 



Our friends tallied their votes for boy or girl. I forgot to take a shot at the end of the night because frankly, my feet hurt and little miss came down with a fever! Yep, we went from party mode to sick kid mode! 
The boy tallies definitely surpassed the girl votes though! So many peeps were wrong! 


Ashley and I are looking at a sono pic of baby H with her legs in the air thinking we spotted boy parts! Um, guess we aren't very good sono techs! 


The night was so special and fun! Thanks to all you RHOTK (our special code) that came to help us celebrate! And, a great big thank you to my best friend that drove a long way to help me with the party! 

Now, I better get cracking on baby girls nursery board to share with you!

It's a.....



As you know, our gender reveal party was on Friday night! You can see hubby's vote was a girl! Here's how the reveal went down! 


"What, there's pink balloons! Is this when I'm supposed to smile?"


I'm clearly still in shock! See, I was about 90% sure it was a boy! Ava and my hubby said it was a girl from the get go! And, they were right along with my nephew in the red shirt! "I told you," he said! 


"What's happening?" 


Hubby instantly collected his $100 from my dad for the bet they had. My dad was sure it would be a boy! He's got $100 less now! Thanks for the nursery money mom and dad! :) 


"Yep, I see the girl parts (3 lines). It's all making sense now!"


Girl Power! 
I'm joining the other girl moms!! 



 I'm so glad we chose to find out the gender of baby R with our friends and family. This awesome group of ladies made it one special evening! 

Even though I was quite shocked by the pink balloons, I'm quite thrilled now to be a girl mom! Ava is pretty stoked to have a sister too! We can't wait for princess "H" to join our family in early November! 

I'll share more pictures from the party tomorrow. Photographer Caroline took a ton of great photos for me and captured a lot of play by plays! :)

Chicken Parmesan {My Quick Version}



Yes, this Chicken Parmesan is as scrumptious as it looks and easy to make! I whipped mine up in about 20 minutes. Ok, so I might have cheated a little with a prepackaged seasoning, but that's what happens when you're busy and have a little one running around. Just keeping it real around here. No time for recipes from scratch! 

Ingredients:
  • 1 package Kraft Fresh Take Italian Parmesan Seasoning (found in the cold section)
  • 1 package of chicken tenders
  • Fettuccine noodles
  • 1 squash
  • A handful of carrots
  • Any brand of pasta sauce
  • Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

Directions:
  • Heat a skillet with enough olive oil to coat the bottom
  • Evenly coat the chicken tenders with Italian seasoning
  • Place chicken in the skillet. Cook about 5 minutes on each side or until brown and crispy
  • Slice squash and carrots and toss in pan to cook with chicken for the last 5 minutes
  • Boil pasta in separate pot
  • After chicken is fully cooked I added the pasta sauce to the pan and sprinkled Mozzarella cheese on top of the chicken to melt.
  • Serve over drained pasta 

And there you have a nice hearty meal for your family! Even my picky child ate some so I 'll say it's kid approved!
