Baby Shower

Last weekend my friend Heather and my sister in law Jamie offered to throw us a baby shower for the twins. I wasn't really expecting a baby shower for having a 2ND (and 3rd) baby but since they offered we took them up on it. We figured if we could get some diapers out of it then we would be happy. I decided that I wanted a "family" event so husbands and kids welcomed, more of a BBQ atmosphere rather than a formal baby shower, that way everyone can enjoy it!!! It turned out the be one of the nicest days we had had all spring, which was great. Jamie had a kids pool set up so the kid could swim, there was adult beverages (sadly I couldn't participate in that) as well as some kid friendly drinks (unlimited for me--ha ha)

Here are the kids playing in the pool

Heather and Jamie out did themselves, they decorated with my jungle theme that I have for the girl's room, there were colored lanterns strung all around, and a TON of food. Some of my coworkers came, Aunt Donna came--of course spoiling the girls along with an amazing Jungle cake, our friend Lindsey who we haven't seen forever came, and our neighbors Sheila and Dorian and their kids came, and Dan's parents were there. Unfortunately there were a few that couldn't make it, but I know that they would of rather of been there then having to go through what they were at the time.

Here is our family picture, soon to grow by two more :)

We were very shocked to see that not only did we get a TON of diapers, but we got our double stroller we were wanting as well as one of the two matching car seats!!! That was a HUGE shock for us because those two big items came from Heather and Jamie who already invested in the baby shower. It is nice to know that our family and friends love us and know that having one baby is expensive let alone two. We also got a ton of clothes as well so the girls are pretty set for outfits since I saved all of Morgan's stuff from when she was a baby.

It was nice for us to just get out of the house and hang out with friends and family. Morgan had a blast swimming with her cousins Maggie and Gabriel, and her friends Reagan and Brooks. In fact she ran around nonstop from 4 to 1030 that night!! Needless to say we were in the truck for 5 minutes and she passed out.

It was a great day, full of surprises!

Here is the diaper cake that Aunt Donna made (amazing!!)

I love, love, love this picture, so cute!!! Uncle Dan helping Morgan with tying balloons on her shirt!!!!

Here is the amazing cake that Donna made--she is talented!!! and yes I had to change into more comfortable clothes, although nothing makes me comfortable at this point.

First/Last Camping for the Summer

Most of you all know how much Tyson and I love to camp but when we planned this pregnancy we really didn't think about the camping season for some reason. But then again we weren't expecting twins. We are not going to be able to get anymore camping in this summer as I cant travel too far out of the area and the weather here in Boise has been awful and we just now got on our first camping trip this last weekend. Unfortunately it will be our last until maybe the fall if the babies are doing well. We did quite a bit of camping last year so I know that Morgan was kind of "used" to it, but this time around it was even more fun cause she is getting bigger and can do more stuff.

The weather was perfect!! We got up there pretty late Friday night so that was chilly, but Saturday was warm as well as Sunday morning. Morgan loved taking the dogs down to the water and throwing rocks in the water, we had to take a few trips down there to keep her entertained.

This trip I decided to let Morgan have her first Smore as well, she wasn't so sure what to think about it and picked at the marshmallow and then didn't like it when her hand got sticky.

We are hoping that September/October we will get a few more trips in, we took Morgan on her first trip when she was only 8 weeks old, but then again, it was only one baby so we will have to wait and see how things go.
