Finally in the middle/end of July it was time to drive down to California for our Annual Lutes Beach trip. We drove down on Friday and on Saturday Joshua and Mallory flew in and Andrew and Ben drove down. A couple months ago Mallory and Joshua announced their pregnancy to everyone and we were all so excited to finally have another Lutes cousin. Rylee has been the youngest cousin on the Lutes family side and she is 9 years old so it is exciting times for our family to be growing again. Mallory had her ultrasound earlier in the week and decided to find out what the sex was but not tell anyone in our family so that they could do a gender reveal when we were all together. She had ordered doughnuts and the sprinkles would tell us if the baby was a boy or a girl since they would either be blue or pink. We took a vote beforehand and the majority of us thought they were having a boy. They had Mom open the box and...
BLUE sprinkles!! It's boy!!
So exciting and such a fun way to tell the sex of a baby because then we all got to eat the doughnuts! Yum! Rylee and I had some gifts to give the soon to be new parents and I was so excited to give them the onesie I found.
Once Avynlea made the cute baby quilt for Michelle Rylee really wanted to make one for Joshua and Mallory's new baby. I was really concerned about how Rylee would do with cutting and sewing a quilt since she is a couple years younger then Avy but she also exceeded my expectations and did such a great job. She did the cutting and the sewing and I was only their to show her how things were done and it turned out so cute. Joshua and Mallory are into dinosaurs and we found some cute Dino fabric at Hobby Lobby and then we bought a pack of red fat quarters since that matched the fabric and it is Joshua's favorite color. We felt the quilt would work great for a boy or a girl but Rylee said it looked more boyish and was really hoping the baby was a boy.
It turned out so cute and Josh and Mallory loved it! Great job Rylee!!
Jaylynn stayed the night so she could be with her cousins and with such a full house it was hard to find space for everyone so these three ending up "camping" under the kitchen table.
