Baby Showers

March 21, 2009
My mom and sister and I threw together my baby shower in about a week. My family in Boise had spring break so they were able to come by with their kids. It was a lot of fun. Mostly family were in attendance so it was intimate and a lot of fun. My mom did a great job throwing everything together and she found some really great games. She also made the food! She is so great. I can't thank her enough for all she did for the shower. If you were not informed about the shower I'm so sorry. We did not even send out invitations we just called all the people we could think of 1 week before. It would be my fault too because I did not invite if I knew you could not make it, I didn't want to any one to feel guilty for not being able to come. The gifts were awesome and really gave me a head start with things I would need before she comes. The last couple of weeks I have been putting her things together and it was so fun to go through all her things and imagine her being able to use everything. It made things so real.

Felicia, Carolyn and Brylie.
Megan and Carly, my twin nieces. My due date falls on their 9th birthday. They are very excited to say the least.
The boys in attendance. My brother Justin and Cruz, my newest nephew (Not Justin's baby)
Part of the crew.


One of the games was to sculpt a baby out of play-dough. The big pink one is on its stomach to show off the curvaceous bottom. --Sculptor-- Justin Ricks (My older brother)
We also had to cut a string to guess how big around my belly was. 7 mo.

I was also spoiled enough to have a second baby shower thrown by the girls at work. We went to Craigo's to eat and played a couple of games. We talked and had a lot of fun and I received some more great gifts. Thanks for Heidi and Michelle for also paying for my dinner! Good thing it was all you could eat or I would have racked up quite the bill :)!

You look so awesome pregnant. I have to chuckle because I am only 15 wks and literally as big as you! No joke - look at my blog. (: Congrats. I'm excited to see pics of her.
