Baby Shower in MN!

So... I hosted a baby shower. I flew to my homeland of MN and treated Miss Heidi Lee to a morning of food, fellowship, and gifts all for the celebration and anticipation of Baby A to be here. Lee is having a baby boy so obvi she needs things to spoil the kid. We did that children's book style... all things children's book was represented. Please enjoy the photos from the day.

Off I go with just a backpack.
Thanks Spirit Airlines!

Affirmation Stations are a must for a party entailing Lee.

Here fave movie is "Baby Mama", hence
the name of her chair.

Just SO beautiful. Someday I will want a baby and
someday I hope I can be this cute, this prego.

Obvi, I had to visit my buckeroo, Josiah, while I was home amongst 11 other people. I filled my days with people, something I have not done much of since being in IL. Welp, thanks friends... for such a great time with each of you.

Misc. April Happenings to be Mentioned

Even though I did not post in April... I still think there were things to post about. Here is a photo montage of what we did spur of the moment in the month of April.

Grandma's Bday Bash - 80 years old

So my grandma is officially 80 years old! It seems like she is younger than that but alas, she is 80. For her birthday party, we had a grill out here in the Chicagoland area at my Uncle and Aunt's home. All the grandchildren and great grandchildren were there except for four which is a great turn out. It has been a long time since all the family has been in one room and that was surely a blessing for my grandma to see. Not only did we celebrate Grandma but we also went to a middle school play to watch my second cousin have a solo in the play "Annie Jr." which is Annie but with all middle school kids in the cast. It was certainly a middle school play but Anna, my cousin, did an outstanding job.

We took a lot of photos and are so happy to be apart of my Grandma's big bash.

We got grandma a record player for all
her old records. She loved it.

Easter in Iowa

For easter this year, we went to Caleb's house. It was a blast as usual seeing that all were there (except Nate, Kelly, and Miles). We went on a long walk down "the path", chillaxed to the max, went to Grandpa Briden's for lunch, went to the new church in Waverly, and played endless things with the kiddos. It is totally great to be apart of this family and to savor all that I thought I would miss out on being an only child. There is a lot to live after you grow up, I am just doing the sibling/aunt thing a lil upside down. Please enjoy the photos of the weekend. Kids are just so cute.
