Baby 'Girl' Shower

 I had some wonderful friends throw me a baby shower.  Thank you to Emily Jensen, Elisabeth Balderree and Kim Lamont.  The decorations, food, gifts and conversation were all so amazing.
The refreshment table and some of the cute decorations.

Opening up some of my gifts, my friend Kamry made this cute onesie and hair bow.
I got so many really nice gifts.

We didn't have anyone else to take the picture, so here is Stephanie in this one.


 Thanks to all who were able to come.  I really appreciated everything that went into throwing me a baby shower, and I'm so grateful for the wonderful friends that I have!

Trip to Zion

We took a 3 day trip to Zion Ponderosa Ranch Resort.  Shane completed a Ragnar relay race, and camped out with his team while the boys and I slept in a nice warm cabin. :)
It wasn't easy trying to entertain two kids alone while being 31 weeks pregnant.  Luckily there were plenty of activities to do around the ranch, like play on the playground.
Michael was able to do the trampoline bungee.
He was being so good, it was very tempting to get on the trampoline with his big brother.
Michael found kids to play with - Ping Pong, Billiards and Tennis.
The pool and hot tub kept the kids entertained, although the water was a bit cold for me.
We thought he would go on the slide, but then he got scared.
Shane taking the plunge into the cold water.
The three boys enjoying the water.
Michael going on the zip line.
Matthew riding the pony.  I only have a couple more months left until our baby girl arrives! :)
He wasn't too sure about getting on the horse at first, but then loved it.
Our last day in Zion, Shane and Michael went on a hike to the totem pole.
He didn't want to go on the hike at first, so he might look a little bored here.  It was nice to get away for a few days and enjoy some cooler weather!
