Octopus and Baby Showers

My, my, how the time flies!
Lots of things have 
happened and lots of
things are going to happen still.
The weather has begun
to warm up,
which is GREAT.
Tyler is all done with his
thesis project!
He defended this past week
and kicked some major
butt.
I was really impressed 
with him and it 
seemed like everyone else
was, too.
But, I mean, who wouldn't be?

Well, who would like 
some pictures of Kale
enjoying the warm
weather?
I knew it.


Kale. LOVES. Popsicles.
And I am conditioning
him to love 
the banana flavored
ones above all others.
 

Kale also loves to 
play in the water.
And by in the water,
I mean, around the water.
Or, controlling the water.
He loves to be in charge
of the hose...
 

Or pointing his octopus 
sprinkler at others...
 

Or throwing a ball through
the water...

Or running around the sprinkler
and using the hose
as a finish line...

We also had a day
where we went to my friend
Kristen's house and 
Kale played with
her son Bauston in their 
kiddie pool.
There's nothing like watching
two silly boys
play in the water together.
Sorry, no pictures of the event, though.

Speaking of Kristen,
she threw me a baby shower yesterday!
It was wonderful
and SO many people came.
Kristen went ALL OUT
and it was a great time all around.
Here are a few pictures:


The next picture is of the 
surprise Kristen had for me.
Her son had been excited
for weeks to show 
me the surprise.
He ran out to meet me at my
car when I got there and 
made me close my 
eyes and took my hand to lead me
to it.
It was so adorable.
And totally worth it,
as you can see:

Did you see the Nike socks???

My mom couldn't be
here, for obvious
reasons, but she
sent a card that I opened at the shower.
Love you mom!

This is Kylie, Kristen's little sister.
She was one of my 
Activity Days girls
and she helped out a lot.
Thanks Kylie!


And, of course,
this is Kristen.
She spoiled me so much
with this baby shower
and I just can't thank her 
enough.
I'm really going to miss 
her when we move.
I value her friendship so much.
Thank you thank you
thank you Kristen!

 I also want to say a special
thanks to my friends 
who came to the shower
and gave me presents:
Mindyn Clark, Emily Hall, Rachel Smith, Valerie Calaway,
Tawny Winn, Kristina Jakeman, Jessime Robinson, Glenna Grow,
Georgia Arnold, and an especially
big thank you to Tally Wyatt (Kristen's mom)
for letting us have the shower
at her house.
Everyone is so kind and generous
and leaving them all
is not going to be fun.

Well, that's about it.
We've got less than 2 weeks
until Kyle and Heather's wedding.
3 weeks until Tyler's graduation.
and 4 weeks until my
due date!
Life is good :)
