A couple weeks ago my friends had a baby shower for me. Almost all my friends were able to make it. My friend Lauren even came from Boise. I just feel so blessed to have so many great friends! *I have to mention how dang excited I am for the Bill Murray onesie the Brittany’s (Blanch & Wilkes) ordered for our baby.
Also a few friends from work got together to do a lunch/baby shower for me. It was really unexpected for them to do that, but so nice. Amy Gittins threw it for me…she made the cutest invites I have ever seen & she paid for my lunch (we went to Chilis)!
My family got together on Pioneer day for a baby shower & swimming at my aunt’s house. We always have such a great time together…and my aunt Karen sure knows how to liven things up. We had a holding breath contest in the pool, which she called the “sleeping baby”. We had to “sleep” (float) then when we couldn’t hold our breath any longer and came up for air we had to “wah” like we were waking up. It was just a spur of the moment game & so silly, but I’m glad my family will participate in those things!
Porter’s fam has also been so supportive. We had a little shower at his Grandma Macey’s place (his aunt Liz made the cutest little treat bags – I wish I would have taken pictures of little things like that to put in baby’s scrapbook). And in a week we’re having a BBQ with Heidi’s (Porter’s mom) fam…it’s actually at Heidi’s best friend’s mom’s (uncle’s 2nd cousin’s little brother’s…just kidding) house…which sounds funny, but they’re just like family.
I’m sure it’s probably really boring to read about the showers, but I just feel so blessed and want to make sure everyone knows how thankful we are! People have gone out of their way to serve Porter & I and it’s hard to express just how grateful we are!
Thanks everyone!!

Sorry I wasn't able to make it to your shower. I'm glad that you had fun and a lot of people came. It sounds like you aren't going to need to buy much stuff for your little girl.
"Sleeping baby" sounds like an awesome pool game! I love those random, hilarious, spur of them moment games. I am sad I missed the shower fun, but I can't wait to see your cute girl in December!
When you two are as great as you are, what can you expect??? I'm so happy for you, and super sorry I couldn't make it to EITHER party! Boo on Pickleville running my life! Keep smiling, you're going to be a mommy soon!
I just discovered your blog! Love it! That shower was such a blast. I can't get over how good you look. At Karen's swim shower when I was preg with Rocky, everyone was calling me "the buey" (sp?) ...you know.. that round, floating swimming marker. It was so fun to see a bunch of moms and moms-to-be playing silly games in the pool without any kids. I love our family.
Glad to hear that you're getting lots of help with baby stuff. It's so fun to get new things for baby... better than for yourself, I think! Wish I could have been to the cousin shower. I bet you are looking so cute!
It's about time you updated! ;-)
is your little girl here yet? we can not wait to see pictures!
