Phoenix Baby Shower!

For the baby shower, all of the girls put in so much work! In this picture everyone is playing the name-that-poop game. There is a candy bar in a few diapers and you have to try to guess which candy bar it is. I tied for second with Corbin...mostly because I am addicted to chocolate and can pick it out anywhere. But a few people were getting grossed out 'cause well...it just looks gross!
Jeff cheated by licking it. But I had to put this picture up because how often do you get a picture of your brother licking brown stuff out of a diaper!
Here is an example of one of the diapers.
The baby shower was "nautical" themed and so we had all kinds of darling things. The meal we ate was even talapia and fries and a caesar salad! It was so yummy and clever at the same time!
Here is the gang getting everything ready to go!
Putting lemons in my favorite mason jar glasses. Darn those are cute glasses! :)
Everybody sitting around eating crab dip!
Emily taking pictures of herself again. Jk. It was totally a sisters pic. Just don't judge her....she is still in her swim suit.
The girls made this adorable little sign for baby Everett. Who knew you could sew on paper! Now this is hanging over Everett's window in the nursery.
Here is the insane diaper cake that chel put together. It is so darn cute and better than a regular cake because...it doesn't make your hips big and you can use it later! :) So nautical.
The girls also made these adorable little cake balls. Which...I know from experience that it is very hard to get them to look that cute.
Lastly here is the table setting. These are all the pictures that I took until my camera died that night. But just a thanks to my family for putting on an adorable fun shower for us. Everett got so many cute things and I am so excited for him to be born just so we can use them! :)

ps. Pictures of my Salt lake shower will be coming soon... as soon as I get the pictures from Aubrey. :)

Canning or...Jarring with the ladies!

Weston was so excited about this little girls balloon. :)
Here is Jenna. No she isn't canning watermelon...although that might be sort of good.
Here is the finished product!
Chelsea also made a whole butt load of tomato sauce and it took ten million years to cook but it turned out awesome!
This is me...resting the weary old tootsies, and by that I mean my feet. Mom made me sit down because Emily pointed out that my feet were so swollen that they were starting to look like Yoda's feet.
Deacon...helping out as usual... :)

The assembly line of hotties. Yes...mother that includes you.
I was the outcast at the stove...that is why I am making these faces.

Brian's Rocket

Brian and Aubrey proudly collecting the remains of Brian's rocket!
Quinn and Drake...aka...the peanut gallery. :)
The beautiful beast. Oh and just so everyone knows the story, Brian got this rocket from Drake as a little project and he spent so much time making it. It turned out so awesome and we had the perfect day to blast it off.
The launch pad. We also had a couple false starts which was so exciting to count down from ten and then have to do it again because of technical difficulties. :) We had a blast. ha ha oh I crack myself up.
Aubrey with her somewhat evil mischievous face.
And of course...Brian below. What a cutie. :)

Birthday Party!

My good friend Ana Rosa was throwing a birthday party for her two kids. One of the birthday themes was Indiana Jones and the other one was an art theme. She hired me to help her out with the cakes and the party favors. I had such a blast doing them, but I didn't do a very good job ha ha. I told her that I should pay her for having to use the stuff I made. But it was a blast nonetheless. Here is the Indy Cake.
I also made his invitations like a treasure map. I tried to burn the outside so it looked legitimate but I almost set my carpet on fire and it was too windy to do outside. :)
These are sour gummy worms but they are supposed to represent snakes...ya know...since Indy is afraid of snakes.... anyway. The other cake I made looked like an artists pallet and we even put a paint brush on it but I forgot to take a picture of it because I was so tired. I finished that one at like midnight.

Yellowstone

For part of Brian's birthday celebration we went to Yellowstone for the day. Brian has been there lots of times as a kid and I have never been so it was fun for him to show me around. We saw lots of awesome things, ate a picnic lunch and got frozen yogurt! We had such a fun exhausting day. :)

Brian and Emily's Birthday Bash

So of course, as we all know, Emily and Brian share a birthday so we decided to have a shared birthday party at our house. We had a baked potato bar and lots of other yummies. And of course, we had to get them their own cakes so it didn't feel like they had to share a birthday. I made Emily a Pink lemonade Pie and Mitch and Kristin got Brian a huge fruit pizza pie. They were both so good. After Kristin fed Tricky we all ate and we sang (Transtrum style). Then we held up this giant lighter (that was in the shape of a golf club...thank you kirkhams) and Emily and Brian took turns blowing out the flame and making a wish. (I had no candles.) It was a blast but we had to end early because Em was heading out to Provo and we all got really tired from all the carbs. :) (P.S. That day, Emily and Mitch and Kristin went to Yellowstone and the day before this Brian and I went golfing for part of his birthday. I was only like 50 over par! It was a blast and we played until we couldn't see anymore. Happy Birthday Brian and Emily!)

Fire!!!!

So a few weeks ago there was a fire down by INL and all the smoke got caught in the cloudy sunset and it was probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Brian took all of these awesome pics! Dang he is good!

25 weeks!

So I told Brian we needed to take pictures of my gut before I exploded. Here is me at about 25 weeks! Yay! only 15 more to go! Oh and I was trying to be silly but Brian wanted me to be serious....very difficult
