Happy Smiles, Baby Showers and Sister Time!!

I love this cute boy's missing a tooth smile. You are loved our sweet boy:)

What a beauty! As "boyish" as this girl wishes, she is all girl in looks and attitude. Love you!

Rocking out in the pjs! With Auri just tagging along as usual.

She is beginning to climb on EVERYTHING! She has become such a handful, I can't keep my eyes off of her for 10 seconds or she's climbing up something dangerous.

I had been planning on Anna's baby shower for maybe two months. Of course the weekend of her shower, a big storm was coming through, so I sadly had to cancel. I was super bummed! Because we had planned on all the sisters and Mom to get together for a super fun night. So on that Saturday, the weather was good enough so we packed as fast as we could and raced to North Ogden. Seriously almost the entire state, sheesh! I made it right on time (should have been there an hour early, but we made it!) What a fun time with family, friends, aunts, cousins,  and babies all over! 

In the crazy of getting there I had my Mom and Annica pick me up so I could "quickly" put together my baby diaper cake I'd been planning on making for her. And this was the result...

Haha! You're welcome Anna. ;) It was a funny looking baby, but I was feeling so good thinking of such a cute thing for her. That is until Tenille walked in while I was mid stuffing my baby with a SUPER cute baby diaper cake, way better than I'd be able to make. Dang. We laughed so hard! One, that it was hilarious that we both thought of the same thing! Two, the different in us. Me coming in like a crazy tornado, stuffing my baby while everyone is sitting in a circle, my kids running wild and crazy, not prepared. Tenille coming in, everything all together and calm. One day, I will be calm and organized. If only in my dreams, one day! ;)

She was DONE. Poor kids, dragged every where that day. She was hungry, needed a nap or to just go to bed, and a grouch. So of course I was even more stressed with a crazy baby to chase.

We love you Anna! Can't wait to hold my sweet baby niece!!

And now for one of the best nights ever! Once I dropped my children off to Grandpa and Ty Ty, I was a different person. We all got babysitters and met up at Iggy's for some yummy food. And who would happen to be our server that night?? Monica Martinez!! I was thrilled. Monica and I were best friends since the 3rd grade. Inseparable till high school. It was so much fun to see her. And her little sister Melanie works there too and was there that night. We had such a wonderful time. I really miss Monica. (I think it was on Quoi's 3rd birthday Monica and I went out with Sequoia to Ihop and had a yummy breakfast and got to catch up on the years.)
 And I love how grumpy me and my sisters are when we are hungry! It is blah, until that delicious food is running down my tummy. Then PRESTO! A changed human being! Happy and fun loving instead of a demon:) 

Me and my cute family:)

Melanie and Monica:)

Me and my oldest bestie:)

We went The Hampton Inn (if my memory is correct!) after dinner and we all stayed in a big huge suite! Tenille and Jon happened to have a gift card from a customer for one night in their biggest suite. So they were so sweet to share with us! I loved it! We sat around just chatting in our PJs till later into the night. I love my mommy and my sisters so much. What a wonderful time to spend with them.  I was so lucky to sleep in between my mom and Kimi and got to listen to Mom snoring all night. So between pushing her and yelling at her to stop (I'm a very mean person in the middle of the night) I didn't get much sleep. But it was totally worth it! And Mom, yes I still love you, I just hope you still love me! ;)
