Axel's baby shower











Axel's baby shower was yesterday and we had so much fun! Auntie Tera was here a week earlier and made the banner. We got our cake at "Nothing Bundt Cakes" and it was a pineapple upside cake with buttercream frosting-one word, YUMMY! One of the games my sister Jenny prepared was for a couple of groups to make up words to familiar tunes about Axel so we can sing those songs to Axel. We were all laughing so hard. The first song is to the tune of "Farmer in the Dell" and it goes:

Dad lived in Chino, dad lived in Chino

Uh Oh, the dairy's there, dad lived in Chino.

Dad picked the wife, dad picked the wife

Woo-hoo, they tied the knot, dad picked the wife.

Austin got here first, Austin got here first

Hi ho big brother came, Austin got here first.

Now Axel's in the house, now Axel's in the house

Yippee our baby's here, Axel's in the house!


Second song was to the tune of Mary had a Little Lamb:

Gayla had a little man, little man, little man

Gayla had a little man

his name was Axel Mead.

Everywhere that Axel went, Axel went, Axel went

Everywhere that Axel went

he followed Austin's lead.

He followed him as he grew up, he grew up, he grew up

He followed him as he grew up

to be just like his bro.

Together they would laugh and play,

laugh and play, laugh and play

Together they would laugh and play

They were always on the go.
