SLC Shower!
What a wonderful weekend!! It was so nice to see everyone who came out to the shower. It was perfect! Everything looked so sweet and there was lots of tasty snacks too! The baby got lots of gifts and last Friday he even got a name! His name will be Jadon. He's named after his grandfathers James and Donald. He doesn't have a middle name yet but setting his 1st name was a HUGE step!
It still seems so surreal! I must have said that a hundred times on Saturday. I kept looking around and thinking "Is this all really happening? This is really MY shower?!?" But I had a blast and we got a lot of really great things. Ivy and LeeAnn really went out of their way making blankets and burp cloths! They made 17 burp clothes and a total of 7 blankets!! How amazing is that? Becky did an AMAZING job with all the decorations. They looked so cute! She also went crazy shopping for him. He defiantly has a ton of diapers now! I'm really grateful for all the people who made this shower possible. Amanda let us use her beautiful home and between her, LeeAnn and Ivy they put out a really nice spread of food and cupcakes. Becky made some really cute and yummy cookies too! Becky also was responsible for all the wonderful decorations, most of which are hand made!! They all put in a lot of hard work!
To top it off Sunday was Mom's birthday. Even though we had to rush home Sunday morning it was still nice to be able to see her on her birthday and spend the weekend together.
Anyhow. Here are a few photos from the shower. Somehow Becky and I didn't get a picture together :o(
Thanks again everyone! Love you all!! Chad and I are truly lucky to have so many people in so many places who love and care for us and our child!

Ivy's having a...
GIRL!!! So excited for her!! It's getting more real now that both of us are getting further along. I can't wait to see her and everyone else on Saturday! Seems like this week is really dragging because I just want the weekend to get here already.
Last Friday we went in for our follow up ultrasound. His heart looks wonderful so that was good news. They suggested I drink more water because his house doesn't seem as "fluffy" as it should. We didn't really get any great pics of him, he doesn't like to have his picture taken I guess! But we got to see him moving around and doing his thing. So the 1st picture is of his legs, he had them crossed. The 2nd is of his really round head and his little hand up by his ear.
Saturday we went to Gaby's 9th birthday party. I made her a cake. She wanted strawberry with strawberry icing and airheads... Very much a kiddo cake! Gladys had surgery last Thursday and just got her results back that the stuff they removed was non cancerous. So that was really great news!
Also last week we got to see Tricia and Sabrina and Stewart. Tricia came over and helped us with idea's for placing the furniture in the baby's room and where to hang stuff on the walls. I'm sooo glad she came over to help with that! It had been way too long since we had seen her. She brought her friend and her son, they were really nice! Sabrina and Stewart were in town for a few days and they came over to visit and even brought the baby several super cute outfits! Spoiled little dude we have hehe. Sabrina is due in just about a month! I'm looking forward to seeing her little girl. I bet she will be really happy to be done being pregnant for a bit! Her kiddos like to scare everyone and try to come really early! Little stinkers! But she thinks she's going to make it to her due date now so that's good. And she looks great!
Well that's all for now! Next update will be about the shower I'm sure! Can't wait!!

Happy Memorial Day!!
Ok I'm a day late... but I hope everyone had a great weekend with family and friends remembering those who have served to keep our country free. We went to Vegas on Saturday and saw Scotty & Journet. It had been a long time since we saw them but when we saw them and started talking it was like we had just seen them a day before or something. They will be back in town the end of July and if all goes well Journet will be able to make it to my baby shower! That was really exciting news!!
Sunday we went to the pool and a BBQ. The weather was wonderful. It's getting hot quick, I think I'll be spending some time out by the pool this year to keep cool and get a little exercise and maybe even get a little color on my skin! Plus the sun is the best way to get your vitamin D!
I was excited to turn the calendar over to June, even though I know that means it's going to be getting hot quick! There is so much happening in June the time will fly by. Friday we have an ultrasound appointment so maybe I will have some cool pics to post next time. Sunday is Gaby's birthday, she will be 9 already!! The following Friday we will be heading to Utah! Crazy how fast time is going. I can't wait to be up there and see everyone!! If Ivy's baby cooperates we will know what she is having by then too! And that Sunday is my mom's birthday. So I'm glad the timing all works out so I get to see her on her birthday. All that is just within the 1st couple weeks of the month. Then we have our Dr appointment and Brandi's birthday and Father's Day! Wow! And once June is over mom and dad will be on the way down to Mesquite to move into their new place!! What an exciting and eventful month we have to look forward to!
Anyhow, I will leave you with a pic of me from by the pool! Yeah, I know I'm white haha... Check out that baby bump now! He's growing in there like crazy, I really popped out in the past week!
Love
