4th of July and Baby Shower (belated)

We had a great 4th of July! We watched the parade (only had to walk 20 yards to get there :), had an awesome BBQ with some friends, and finished off with watching Stadium of Fire from up in the foothills.


Our friends' kids had fun playing with our sprinkler.






Jennifer was cool enough to throw me a baby shower before she moved to Florida! So these pictures are from a little while ago (May 31st). We had a storybook theme where people could read their favorite kids book before I opened their present. It was fun to hear everyone's favorites (even the tear-jerkers). My favorite story is Green Eggs and Ham.



Cousin Chelsea's little girl. (I don't know exactly what relation that would be to me)


Molly! (Our friends' little girl.)


Zac helped me get the house ready by taking down the hideous pink beads in our already pink bathroom.


My friend Emily and little Molly.



Cousin Annette's story was a cute tear-jerker.



Grandma and Aunt Diana both read from A Child's Garden of Verses which Grandma gave me (or rather Anne) a copy of later :)


Of course I got lots of fish and ocean creature things from Jennifer!










Anne's allready a music fan, if I ever listen to loud thumping music she starts kicking a ton and when I practice the piano she calms down and just gently taps.

Turns out I wasn't the only Dr. Seuss fan. Aunt Kary did a wonderful rendition of One Fish Two Fish.
