Baby Showers!!!
My sweet friend Becky had a fabulous baby shower for me about one month ago. It was so fun to get together with friends from Pemberley and celebrate! Josh and I are so thankful to everyone for all of the amazing gifts we received for our "little man" to be, and to Becky, Beth, and Carol for helping out so much to make the shower so much fun!!! I have to admit that before the shower I was so nervous because I always feel so uncomfortable at parties given in my honor. If only people gave the shower for the 'dad to be' instead of the mom as Josh does better with the attention! It turned out to be a blast and I realized I had nothing to be worried about!


The second shower was put on by Kayla and Danna (and of course my mom helped out quite a bit as well). Most who attended were family and friends from outside of Pemberley. It was so fun to see so many people I haven't seen in so long. Some of the young women from my last ward (where I was part of the presidency) came to the shower and it was so fun to see them. I just love those girls! I am so lucky to such wonderful friends and family! Baby showers are a lot of work and I really appreciate all those who played a part. Our baby will definitely not go without... thanks to all of you!!

Josh's parents, Sergio and Shari, and his sister, Robyn (and her daughter Jordan) came from New Mexico to be here for the shower. What amazing family... They came all the way from New Mexico! It was so fun to have them around! Josh borrowed rock band from one of his young men and boy did we rock! Robyn and Josh even stayed up until about 1:30 a.m. to try to unlock more songs. I couldn't make it past 11:30! :o)

It was fun to have my family and Josh's family for dinner! It was a little tight, but we eventually found a chair for everyone!

After dinner we played a little croquet! Or should I say "extreme croquet"! Josh gets very into his croquet... although my brother who was lagging behind from the beginning somehow managed to win the game! Josh didn't take it too hard! :o)


My brother.... The Winner!!!

It was so great to have you all come visit! Thank you so much for such a fun time!! We love you!
