So Spoiled

We were so spoiled by our friends upon arriving back in Idaho from Michigan--Ashlyn has had a total of 4 baby showers. I know. It has been so much fun. Our first one was the week we got back--and I don't have any pictures! My friend Dakin threw it for all our old friends in our old ward, which we loved so much and were so sad to move away from. It was great to see all my old friends and some of my young women (beehives back then--laurels now!!) came. We felt very loved and it was such a good time.

The next shower was thrown by my good friend Chandra, who is amazing. As you will see from the pictures! I was horribly sick that weekend (seriously. I've only been waiting for my baby shower for 4 years, and then I get the stomach flu that weekend?!? ) , but it was by a huge blessing that I actually felt okay during the shower! Before and after? Not so much. But it was beautiful, and so many of our friends from the ward and my piano teaching buddies stopped by, it was wonderful and again we felt very loved!

Check out the pictures of her adorable treats and decorating:

This is the only picture of Ashlyn with anyone at a shower! These 2 girls are in our ward, so super cute. One is one of my super-star piano students, so this is a cute picture to have.
The third shower was in Idaho Falls--thrown by Tara (although I think my mom actually put most of it together) --with our family. And Kaylin and her mom, since they are my family too! Ashlyn got passed around, and it was great. My grandma flew in from Denver just for that, which was really special. It was a lot of fun. Again, no pictures. I know, I am such a loser.

The fourth shower, I should have pictures of sometime.. it was just a couple of weeks ago. It was a little get together at a restaurant with some of the wrestling moms. They were so nice to put together a shower, and Collin came, which I believe was his first (and probably last) baby shower! They had the poopy diaper game where it was melted candy bars, and well you can picture Collin's face. He was like "this is what you guys do at these things?" pretty funny. Ashlyn had just gotten her shots that day so she wasn't exactly chipper, but she was still a good sport letting all the moms hold her. It was fun.

Thanks to everyone who has been so kind to us doing these things and coming to them! It has been so nice to feel so loved, and with paying off adoption and travel fees not having to buy clothes has been AWESOME! We are very blessed to have wonderful friends and family!
