"SURPRISE" Baby Shower for Brooks!

So this past weekend Stephen and I headed over to Blackfoot to hang out with Ryan and Carrie and the fam while they were visiting for the weekend, we went up to Rexburg on Saturday for what I thought was a family luncheon at Ansley and TJ's....but when we showed up it was actually a surprise baby shower for me and Brooks! So shocked....I had no idea! EVERYONE was in on it, even my mom and no-one let it slip, AmaZing! It was awesome and we got a lot of really great things!

Beautiful table of goodies! I have such talented sisters-in-law! (You can see them hard at work in the kitchen)
Me and Donnalin- thanks for the baseball outfit!
This is me with an amazing quilt made by Merilee, Ansley, and Carly I believe....(sorry if I left someone out) and I'm about to open a basket of fun from Robyn- THANK YOU!

This is me with a gorgeous "diaper bag" from Carrie- THANK YOU!

Cute little booties from Melissa and her girls!

Sisters- Thank you so much for all your time and hard work, it was a great shower, fun was had by all!

Thanks mom for the cute stuff and the pack-n-play!

Stephen wanted me to be sure and tell everyone THANK YOU from him too!

We couldn't ask for more love and generosity from all of our family and friends!

We LOVE sushi!

Stephen and I went on a date on Friday night, just the two of us! I've really been wanting to spend some quality time with Stephen because he's been studying so much for the CPA and school that we really don't sit down together and hang out as much as we want to. We tried a new sushi place and we were a little nervous when we walked in and were the ONLY people in the restaurant and all the cooks were white guys. But the food was actually really good....don't worry I ate veggie rolls, but I was really jealous of Stephen's "raw roll", it looked amazing! After dinner we went to a Halloween party for some free dessert and then we went to the movies and saw "Hancock", not bad. Thanks for spending the night out with me it was really fun, I love you Stephen!

Happy Halloween

I love that Nikki and I always want to carve pumpkins for Halloween, but the boys really end up doing most if not all of the work.....what good troopers they are, thanks boys!
Nikki and I are just in charge of picking out the designs to carve, mine is the spider, Nikki went with "Boo" this year.

Here are the boys and their finished work, yes we let Kelan eat spiders.
