It's Raining Babies!

Have you ever wondered where the term "Baby Shower" came from? Why not just say "baby party" or "you're going to need so much new crap that we feel a little sorry for you so we're going to get together and have a party"... On second thought, Baby Shower sounds a lot better.
Anyway, my family threw a Baby Shower for me and Daxton at my mom's house on Saturday. There were some super cute decorations and wicked good chineese chicken salad along with my brother and sister in law's famous egg rolls. We played a game with songs that all had the word "baby" in them, and then another one where you have to figure out what kind of chocolate bar has been melted into a diaper. After having two and a half kids, I didn't think there was much that could gross me out, but I was so wrong.
I wanted to put a shout out to my work-friends for having a shower for me at my favorite restaurant Lorena's, and my since-elementary-and-high-school-friends for having one for me the day after at my next favorite restaurant, Robintino's. I brought my camera with me to both events, but apparently it works a lot better if you actually take it out of the case and use it. I'll know for next time!

Better Late Than Never...

Our family had a fun Easter this year. Not that that's a hard thing to accomplish when you celebrate a holiday that combines candy and presents. I know that Easter isn't only about those two things, but I think it's safe to say my kids wouldn't get too thrilled if all we did was talk about The Resurection. It's all about the candy at their age. And mine too if I'm being honest.

Here Fishy Fishy...

Last weekend me and the mister decided to take the kids to the Living Planet Aquarium in Sandy. I have been wanting to go there ever since they moved from the Gateway, and it seemed like a good day to do it. Gavin and Kaylee loved all of the exhibits they had, especially the place where you can put your hands in the water and touch the stinky fish and the sting rays. If we hadn't literally dragged their soaking wet bodies away from there, they'd probably still be there.
