Showered with Love: Celebrating Baby-Brinlee 07/2025

Marla and Brylan sitting together at their baby shower, surrounded by balloons and gifts, ready to celebrate Baby Brinlee — a ShauneNation moment to remember.

From the moment Marla shared the exciting news, we knew Baby Brinlee would be surrounded by love — and not just from the girls. This past weekend, that love came to life as friends and family gathered to celebrate the sweet bundle on the way. The shower was full of laughs, thoughtful gifts, tiny baby socks, and heartfelt moments — but what made it even more special was seeing just how fully supported Marla is by Brylan. He stood proudly by her side through it all, smiling ear to ear, helping out wherever needed, and showing everyone he’s not just along for the ride — he’s ready to be an amazing dad. It’s clear that Baby Brinlee’s arrival isn’t just about becoming parents — it’s about building a strong, loving team, and these two are already off to a beautiful start.

Unwrapping the Love: Gifts for Baby Brinlee

Every gift was a treasure, and Marla and Brylan couldn’t wait to unwrap each one. From colorful bags to carefully wrapped boxes, each present told a story of love, support, and excitement for Baby Brinlee’s arrival. Whether practical essentials or sweet keepsakes, these thoughtful gifts filled the room with joy — and gave everyone a chance to share in the excitement of what’s to come.

No riders yet, but this little rocking horse already stole the spotlight. Sitting front and center like a symbol of what’s coming, it quietly waited while Marla and Bryan opened cards and shared thanks. One day soon, that saddle will be full of giggles, bouncing curls, and wild pony rides — but for now, it’s a quiet promise of what’s ahead. Even sweeter? The rocking horse was lovingly restored by Marla’s sister, Darcy — a gift filled with heart, history, and a whole lot of ropin’ in the love.
