Ella's Baby Shower

March 17th, 2012

We celebrated the upcoming birth of our soon to be daughter Ella Patricia Travis. If you don't already know, we are naming her after my mother who is no longer with us. Her name is Patricia Elinor and so we decided Ella Patricia.

We were surrounded by family and friends to celebrate. Our shower was coed and we even included a beer drinking contest, out of baby bottles of course. And Tommy won, but he did cheat... He took the top off the bottle!

We received so many beautiful gifts. Thank you to all who sent gifts or attended. We greatly appreciate everything. Miles between us did not keep us from feeling so loved. We received a crib from my "moms" My Aunt Nora, Aunt Eileen, Aunt Katy and Lyla and families. We also got Ella's car seat and stroller set from my brothers, Josh, Andrew, and Ben. Her big car seat was given by her Tia Fernanda from Chile. Her Pack and Play was given by Trinity. We received so many more gifts that I can't even start to list or we would be here all day.

The shower was thrown by our very close friends Trinity Munoz and Jaymie Minter.
We have asked Trinity to be Ella's God mother when she is baptised in July in Marinette,WI.


Enjoy the photos and videos. We love you all! Thank you all for your love and support!

We got plenty of diapers... well maybe they will last a little while.


Tommy sure loves pink zebra print!!


Our Diaper Cake

March 17th, 1983 My mother wore the pony and blue and pink ribbons on her corsage for her baby shower. I added the yellow rose since it is my favorite color and is often used in remembrance. So I had my mom with me during my shower as I prepare for my journey into Motherhood.
