SURPRISE Shower!

Last Wednesday when I showed up at my friend Britni's house for our ward playgroup, SURPRISE...instead of playgroup, it was a shower for my friend Alissa and myself! No one breathed a word about it and I LOVE surprises! The food was great and Alissa and I got so many cute things for our little boys (who will be about 7 weeks apart). What an awesome ward we have here in AZ!! Thanks so much for planning it, Britni, and thanks everyone for all the cute things! I loved it!

We got matching onesies with little "ties" and "missionary tags" on them from our sweet R.S. Pres. I LOVE them!
The counselor in the R.S. that I work with on the Enrichment Board, gave me this darling set of "baby scrubs"--aren't they the cutest thing?! Now our baby can match his daddy!
Here are my preggo friends in order of when we're due (and that's not all of them either...)
Alissa, Kristy, me, Natalie, Liz, and Britni. It's so funny--most everyone in our ward (and that I know for that matter), is having a boy!

The amazing ladies (and kids) that we get to hang out with here in AZ! I'm so grateful for their friendship.


Isn't this the cutest diaper cake my friend Alissa made me? Thanks, Alissa!

That's so fun. :) I wish we had a bigger ward sometimes. I have some great friends there anyway. That must have been a really fun surprise!

How fun! That's crazy that there's sooo many pregnant ladies in your ward! Such cute gifts! I can't believe you're still wearing shorts. NOT FAIR!

How nice to have a baby shower thrown for you! It's getting so close, isn't it? Not close enough, but closER at least.

I can't believe how many pregnant people we have in our ward!! So crazy, but fun for all of you! I'm so mad by the way, that you didn't tell me it was your husbands birthday the other night! You get free dessert on your b-day! You missed out! haha. Just come in again and I'll give it to ya!

How awesome is that I am so happy for you guys and your new little one on the way. it sounds like you have great friends. I am sure it makes it so much easier to have all these friends when you are so far from home. I miss you lots

The Only bad thing is that the sale was only one day. But if there is something you want I can go in and see if they have it. or the next time I go in there I can call you.

I was totally going to start my comment out by saying "that's so fun!"- but you may notice my twin already sai that...
Anyway. What a cool shower. I can't believe how many prego friends you have!
But I do know that it really must be the year to have boys because everyone I know either just delivered a boy or is expecting one- myself included!
Is this a plan on the Lord's part? Who knows.
By the way- The first thing I noticed about the prego women in the line- not the bellies- but the tan legs!!! I'm so very very jealous!

Sorry that I missed the shower. Okay, so I walked into that upstairs bathroom last night and about died that you saw how dirty it was. I hope you didn't catch anything. I will call you to come over when I clean it. : ) Thanks for coming we had a great time.
