A couple showers

Saturday at lunch time was Destiny's bridal shower.  They have been married almost 3 years now, but they are finally going to have their big reception with everyone invited next month (their actual wedding was just immediate family because it was last minute).  Her sister threw her a shower and it was a lot of fun.  My favorite was the food- it was so good!  There were a few different sandwiches: curry chicken, one with apple and brie, and the best egg salad I've ever had.  There were scones with vanilla clotted cream and lemon curd.  There were a lot of fruit and vegetables.  There was also punch and cake! Mmmmm.....



Kellan came along because large groups of ladies love babies.

Afterwards we dropped the boys off at my parents' house and we went to an AWESOME Sounders game. They won 4-2 (woot), but it was also a very exciting game!

Today was another shower.  I picked up Jordan and headed to Ashlee's baby shower for little Axel in Covington.  She got so many diapers and presents, I think she is set.  It was pretty fun, and there was good food.

There was a game everyone had to make diapers out of TP and I got to do it from my team.

Opening presents.

 Here is the blanket and burp cloth I made for Axel (the blue ones).  The pink one is for Andy's cousin Megan (the one that comes up to WA a lot) because they just had little Elsie this week (can't wait to meet her).  It is in the mail :)

I got back from the shower just in time to head next door.  The family that moved into Megan and Lee's old house, Dave and Georgia, invited us over for a BBQ.  They have 2 little kids, age 4 (boy) and 7 (girl).  Sawyer had so much fun playing with them.  He had a hard time leaving.  We had a good time talking with them and our other neighbor in the cul-de-sac, Jameson, who is also around our age.  They had grilled shrimp, burgers, and ribs, and topped it off with the most delicious peanut butter ice cream pie.  They just moved from New Jersey (he's in the army) and they should be around here for a few years so we are glad to make friends with them.  Another bonus, they have little garden boxes and sent us home with fresh spinach and lettuce :)

 I am exhausted and sore from walking.  It will be nice to have a break tomorrow :)
