Finally, the promised pictures have arrived! Monster trucks and Baby Showers....they totally go together! Dad, Lucy, Elliott, Uncle Jason, and Cousin Rowan all went to a Monster Truck Rally this month. They had lots of fun with earplugs, pizza, flags and autographs. Here are a few shots Mike took of the festivities.

Some crazy dinosaur Monster truck and the kids:
Fun times...I think we are making it a tradition until the kids outgrow wanting to go. Of course, by that time the baby will be old enough to go so we will just start all over!
Speaking of Baby....
The Shower!
Heather and Emily planned and pulled off the best shower ever! We had it at my sister-in-law's, Kristine's, house. This was perfect because I didn't have to do ANYTHING! Heather and Emily planned and prepared it, and Kristine hosted. I am especially grateful for Kristine's hospitality because it meant I didn't have to organize, clean and decorate my own home for the event....THANKS!! Look at the spread on the refreshment table! It was a garden party theme, so there were springy colors and beautiful flowers everywhere. There was also a hint of tea-party thrown in. The treats were all small finger-foods like you would find at a pleasant tea time. Heather and Emily also gathered mismatched tea cups from local thrift stores and used them as decorations, the drink glasses, and the take-home gift...they were loved by all! It was casual; no games planned, so there was just plenty of visiting and eating and much fun to be had. It was perfect. Thanks guys!Here are some of the girls enjoying their spot of tea and cakes.

Heather snapped a quick picture of yours truly. It is the only official pregnancy photo I have , so enjoy it!
Gift time is always fun...especially at a baby shower because everything is just so CUTE!! The kids gathered round and we opened up the goods. Thank you everyone...for a while there it seemed like my baby would be naked forever! He will now be clothed, wrapped, moisturized, diapered and played with! We are set!
Here are the lovely ladies that made it all happen...Thanks so much best sisters EVER!!!

What a Blast --- from Monster truck noise to baby shower sweetness and love.
We wish we were there -- but we have miles to go before we sleep and those extra miles to Boise and back were just not calling out name. Next month they will be and we will be there.
The shower looked wonderful and inviting. Smiles, loves and beauty everywhere -- We love you all.
