Our car went kaput 2 hours before we were supposed to head to Utah - so that was really lame. We had to figure out how we were going to get up there, and it was pretty stressful. We had been borrowing a truck that belongs to Tyler's family, but didn't want to drive it up and back because it is small and I have to sit in the middle, and when you are 8 months pregnant it is EXTREMELY uncomfortable to sit sardined in the middle with your knees up to your chest. I had a bit of a breakdown (I blame the hormones). Then Tyler's dad called us (he had no idea what was going on) to see if we wanted to bring the truck back, and trade him for a car. What a blessing that was! So we loaded up the truck and set off. I guess we just weren't meant to leave at the time we wanted or something... Less then a year ago we had the battery and alternator replaced in our car, and that is what we thought went out again- every time Tyler would stop the car would just die. So it ended up just being the battery, which thankfully was under warranty.
Here is where it gets fun...
We brought my Mom back home with us so that she could help with my Baby Shower, and watch Nathan while we went to a BoyzIIMen concert.(You are the BEST EVER Mom!!!) We got to eat some yummy steak before the show and then we had extremely good seats (Thanks Dad!). We were in the center, 5 rows back from the stage. It was such a good show. They are Tyler's favorite, and so he LOVED it. They sounded so good- and it was really fun to watch. I was laughing SOO HARD at all the crazy ladies rushing the stage and screaming. And there were like 40 year old men swaying and rocking out. It was quite the sight! We had a really good time, and were deaf by the time it was over.
(Sorry it is a cell phone video- so not the best)
The next day was my Baby Shower. My cousin's wife Angela threw it for me, and my Mom did a HUGE chunk of the the food. We got loads of cute girly things, and had lots of fun. Meg took all of our pictures- Thanks Meg! The food was all so yummy- We had a chocolate fountain with strawberries and pretzels, fruit pizzas, homemade rolls with meat and cheese, these sausage cheese wanton things, veggies, punch, and My Mom and I did cute Polka Dot cakes...mmm I am getting hungry. Thanks everyone who came, helped, and/or sent gifts. We love you all, and really appreciate you! Angela you are the BEST! Thanks for throwing such a wonderful party- We LOVE You!
We are in the home stretch now, and have to finish getting things ready! I am starting to get nervous about being the Mother of 2. I sure hope I can handle it!!!

Love the cake, the rag-edge quilt, and the blessing dress!! Holy cow, Ava is going to look like royalty!! Wish I was there! You can send me some of the leftover food. It looks like you had a full on gourmet lunch buffet.
