An Idaho Baby Shower

My Aunt Margie and Sue threw a baby shower for me in Idaho. It was such a sweet and fun party. They threw it in the back room at Polo's Cafe, Which is this cute yummy little Mexican place in Burley. Since I crave Mexican food constantly now that I am pregnant it was perfect. They did the cutest owl theme and it was just a wonderful day. I got to see family I haven't seen in quite a while, Got to combine my mom and dad's sides, and got to see a few cherished friends. Over all it was a really wonderful day and such a thoughtful thing for Margie and Sue to do. Also, Rhylee and I were spoiled rotten. Mostly Rhylee. LOL.

We got a bathtub and bath supplies, lots of adorable clothes. I so want to pull her out and play dress up for a few hours, and we got lots of cute books. So many wonderful, thoughtful and useful things. Thanks so much to everyone who came. It meant so much to have you all there.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving was good as usual. We drove to Idaho on Wednesday night, when we got there we went out for dinner and then stayed up late baking pies and visiting.

Thankgiving day was good, we had sooo much food and we kept forgetting stuff cause there was so much food, then we would be like oh wait we forgot this we forgot that.. but it was a good day. we enjoyed getting to spend time with Margie since we hadn't seen her since like March.

Meeting up with Amanda & Sarah's unnatural obsession with Jack and the box

While in Idaho I was excited to meet up with an old friend that I have known since Mr. McBrides 5th grade class. We went to school together even into college as we both went to ISU.. I of course only stayed for about a year. We lost touch over the years and I wondered often where she was and how she was. I was excited to reconnect with her over facebook of all things, and she met up with me while we were in Pocatello.

Then there is Sarah's obsession with Jack in the Box, we don't have them in Utah so she had to get a fix while we wer there.

Many pictures to pose with

Margie's Birthday in Idaho

For Margie's Birthday that was March 3, we went to Idaho to celebrate with her and went shopping in Twin Falls. I made her a Garfield cake. I was in kind of a hurry and my decorator had broke.. so it's not the best cake i have ever decorated but it worked.

The long drive home

So the Drive between Burley and salt Lake is a pretty boring one. So to pass the time and keep myself from being carsick I decided to take pictures. The sky and mountains were so beautiful that day.. there was as a storm that was rolling in so I got some really pretty pictures of the clouds and the mountains...I am not that great of a photographer, but I thought the view was too beautiful to pass up

so this one was taken from the windshield and it was partially through that tinted strip along the top. I thought it looked cool.
