Keris Baby Shower

 Our dear friends Chade and Keri Miller are having a baby soon. I am throwing Keri a baby shower. I love planning this kind of stuff even though it is a lil stressful. Keri said she is doing the babys room white and pink with bugs. So me and my mom made her pink blankets with lady bugs on them. We also got her a bow to put on the babys head. Tara came over early with me to help set up. Most of the decorations were from Ranaes and mines wedding.We ended up having quit the turn out. I was glad that it all went well. First everyone just snacked on the food that was prepared. Then Keri introduced everyone so we could pass out presents. We were pretty much done once presents were opened but I also had a game, "how many skittles?" that people had to guess and the closest person got to keep it. The girl who got it was a neice on Chades side of the family. I really hope that Keri liked it. :)

Bee's Game

We are finally going to a bees game. I say finally because if you remember from our first date Chris said we were going to a bees game but we didnt because it was in California. So I have always told him that he owes me a bees game. His work gave him free box seat tickets to the game. It was a lot of fun. I had never been in any kind of box seat before so it was a cool experience. However we didnt do much of watching the bees because tonight is also the first night of a BYU football game that we had playing on the TV inside the box. We did sit outside for a minute to have the Bees experience. We got free diner and desert. Since it was somewhat a work thing Tara and Austin were there too. It was nice to spend time with them and meet other people that Chris works with. The bees lost but thats ok because BYU won!!!!

This month there are a lot of birthdays. There is both our moms, Josh, Stockton, and now Samuel. My family got together to celebrate them. Yes we still hide their presents just like we always do on birthdays. My mom keeps trying to get rid of the tradition but I will not have it. This year Stockton is turning 16, I know its crazy.  Then we all had diner together followed by cake and ice cream.

Ward Campout

This weekend were going to the ward camp out, mostly because Chris is in charge of it, being the Elders Qoarum President. Kassi Nelson rode up with me because Josh and Chris went up early to get a spot and put up signs. We mostly talked and listened to music. Im just glad that we didnt get lost. We borrowed the Millers tent because we dont have one yet. Chris was worried about the turn out but we were really happy with the way it worked out. A lot of our close friends came. A few couples just came for the evening and then left. We got a beautful sight that gave us plenty of space. The boys made a shooting spot in back for their bebe guns. Some people braught their kids and Im not going to lie but it was pretty entertaining. Their were only boys and they were quit adventurous.When it got dark we had smores and they tasted really good. We stayed up pretty late talking with everyone. So heres the bad part, Chris asked me to get blankets, I thought it was just incase it got cold. Now I realize it was because we didnt have sleeping bags and he wanted something to sleep on. So we had two flannel blankets for the two of us. It was a ruff night, but a good excuse to snuggle close. Luckily some other people were smart and braught extras, they were kind enough to share with us. The morning was pretty fast, we got up made fire, breakfast, cleaned up, and headed home. I like camping, Chris doesnt like to feel dirty so he showered right away.

Dinosaur Museum

Chris and I decided to go to the Dinosaur Museum with Chade and Keri, along with another couple and their baby. Tonight was one dollar tuesday or something like that. The last time that Chris and I went to this museum it was our second date, when we first held hands. We decided to take a picture by the special spot. :) You cant really see it in the picture but its the swimming dinosaur in the small cage right after you pass the big bugs. It was really fun because we goofed around and had some good laughs. Chade and Keri are such a fun couple.

Colorado

Chris got an amazing promotion at work. Now he has to travel at least 3 times a year. He is going to observe his first one this time in Colorado. He will be gone from August 15 to August 17. Since I dont have school or work for another week or two I decided to spend the time alone at my parents house. I dont sleep well by myself, I havent really slept alone before. It was fun to be with my mom and kind of feel like a kid again. I did boot camp with Teri and Krista every morning. It was hard work but it was worth it. I worked on some blankets for Keris shower with my mom. Hayden was so sweet. He slept in the living room with my the first night. The second night Stockton was at a sleep over so I slept in his bed in their room with Hayden. It was fun to talk with him. The last day that I was there I helped John do parking at West Lake High School. As soon as I was done Ranae and I met Alyssa at Target. We were going out to eat with her because it was her birthday! Now the three of us are all legal to.....nevermind. I got home late and waited for Chris to arrive! I loved being with my family and feeling like I did when I lived at home but it was sure nice to have my hubby back. I sure missed him.
