boise baby shower

so quinn is the master of all suprises. he always has been and always will be; i don't know how he does it. last weekend i came home from work and saw a huge sign on our front door that said "SUPRISE!" i walked inside and saw my bags packed. quinn had been hiding a secret from me for about two months that my mom and sisters were flying me up to boise for a suprise baby shower. it was the best suprise ever seeing how i haven't seen my family in a while and i won't be able to go to the double wedding in may.

i posted a gazillion pictures of the shower thanks to nancy. i forgot my camera and she showed up with her incredibly nice camera and generously took pictures throughout. love you nancy.
it's tradition in my family to have my mom make the blessing outfit. it is adorable...and good thing its not long-sleeved because we all know that his arms will never fit any shirt as long as he gets his dad's go-go gadget arms.
i think that this was the time that everyone was laughing at me when i got excited about seeing 21 on the tag of a shirt when it really said 2T. my mom said that i've got a long way to go.
you know quinn is going to put this thing on him every day. this kid has no choice but to love the number 21....there is really no way around it.
the best gift was when i opened lyric's present and read a card that explained that she too was going to have a baby. i'm so excited! our kids are going to be the best cousins ever and totally hang out all the time. (i guess we should find out if she's having a girl or boy first before we make them best friends).

my sisters are seriously the coolest!
quinn's grandma is just loving these pee pee tee pees i got as a gift from hollie. if you haven't heard of them...yep, they really are a little tee pee for the little pee pee when changing his diaper. i would much rather use those than my hand. thanks hollie.
i think that karen and cocoa (quinn's mom and sister) had their hands on my belly the entire trip. i loved it, but i think buddy liked it even more because he didn't move around as much that weekend.
thank you mom for such a fun weekend. i love your guts!

That was such a great surprise. Your belly was so adorable. I always knew you would be a beautiful prego woman. I kind of want a girl, so Sophie can have a sister, because sisters are the best, but if I have a boy they will definitely be best friends. If I have a girl, they can be kissin' cousins, like Landon and Elle! And yes...your sisters are the coolest!

That looks so fun! You have a great family. I would love a surprise like that. Oh wait that wouldn't be near as fun since my family all lives with 10 minutes of me!
