Busy Saturday


Last Saturday my neighbor, Gwen, threw me a baby shower.  It was an open house at her house, lucky for me she lives kiddy corner from me.  A lot of different ward members came.  I was surprised how many people came.  They were all so very generous and we are so blessed to have so many good friends in our neighborhood and ward.  After a couple of hours, the people stopped coming and I took the goods home and showed them to Tony and the boys.  It totally filled the whole crib with all the goods.

A little while later family started coming over for Tyler's family birthday party.  We had a full house of our family and we loved it.  Someday we will have a bigger house and it wont be so squishy, but besides that it went well.  Tony got out the grill and cooked hamburgers and hotdogs and then after opening presents we had some cake and ice cream.  I couldn't believe it, during dinner I ran out of ketchup.  I ended up calling my neighbor, and "borrowed" some from them.  It was a funny thing to ask for, but thankfully she had some.  The boys had a great time playing with all their cousins and Tyler got some fun gifts.  Luckily the weather was pretty good, so the kids played mostly outside and down stairs.  Tony and I got Tyler an explorer kit and Tyler has played with it everyday since.  It is good to see him use the things we buy him.  It was a very long day, but a good one.  I thought for a while I might not make it to any of the activities because my contractions we coming so fast and strong for a while, but they calmed down and the baby is still cooking.
