Baby Shower

Over Memorial weekend, Greg and I made a quick trip to Northeast Missouri for a baby shower with my family and our friends. Amy and Jessica threw the shower at Mark and Amy's house and it had a rubber ducky theme. It was a crazy weekend as my family was trying to replant corn, bale hay, and spray. And of course the cows got out on Sunday right before the shower, as they always tend to do when we have a family function. I don't think Andy had a birthday party for a long time without us leaving to go put cows back in (His birthday is June 7). It was great to catch up with family and friends, even though it was a little on the warm side of things. The kids all played together really well and enjoyed the sprinkler. We got lots of great presents and now I'm in the process of putting things away here. I think we are going to need a bigger house for all the baby stuff!

A few pictures Amy sent:



Us with the awesome cake Jessica's coworker made. I brought the duck portion back to Oklahoma and shared it with my coworkers yesterday. They all loved it. Kaitlyn, my cousin who will soon be driving, made the cookies and decorated them. They were delicious and super cute.



My siblings and spouses and parents went together and had this cradle made for us by a friend's uncle. They paid him and in turn he makes three more to donated to a woman's shelter in St. Louis. How awesome it that? It had to stay in Missouri for now because it did not fit in the car.



Thanks Amy and Jessica for a great shower and to everyone else who came! It was great to see you!
