Crystal and Jim, the hosts of our Small Group, are expecting their third baby in early June and we are all so excited for them. Since they really had all the clothes and toys that they need for little Olivia, we decided that we would throw them a surprise diaper pounding. (For those of you who are wondering what a diaper pounding is, it's basically a baby shower, but instead of clothes or other baby gifts, you "pound" them with diapers!) Needless to say, they were quite surprised when we all walked in with lots of diapers!
Noah and I spent most of the day preparing the things we were suppose to bring: a diaper cake and cupcakes. Noah sat in his Bumbo and talked with me and watched while I put together the cake and decorated the cupcakes. (And don't worry, the only time I stepped away from the table and didn't take him off of it was when I took this picture - the reason these were recalled was because people would put the baby on an elevated surface and leave them there while the parents were no where to be found. Trust me, I'm too protective to just leave him there without me in arm's reach!)
Here's the finished diaper cake and cupcakes...
Normally, by the time we get to small group, Noah is already asleep, but not tonight! I guess he knew that there was a party tonight. At least he got to enjoy some time with our friends - he really likes Heidi!
He did finally fall asleep though and of course, it was before we could get a picture of us with Michelle and Ella. I can hardly believe that she is almost one!!
And the star of the show: Crystal! Doesn't she look just beautiful?
If Olivia is just a cute as Isabella, I don't know what Jim and Crystal will do with themselves when the girls reach high school! ;)

That diaper cake is beautiful!!!
I can't believe that diaper cake!! It's so cute and elegant all at the same time! I will totally copy that cake and the cupcakes with the clothespins someday!
I love your diaper cake - it is beautiful.
I saw your post on Jill’s Blog and had to come see your diaper cake. It is really cute. I have never made a diaper cake, but have attempted a towel cake (I was so proud that I was able to hide in blue towels with the brown that I posted pictures on my blog too.) It turned out to be a lot harder then I thought. I think this must be the year for babies because I have three friends all expecting at about the same time. And all boys. I wasn’t sure that I would attempt something like this again, bur your and Jill’s diaper cakes are so cute, I might just have too! Did you get a how to diagram or instructions from anywhere?
