Friend and Family Baby Shower

My friend Becca (below, with our good family friend Harriet) came down from Washington to host a friend and family baby shower for Emma. She did an awesome job complete with delicious bread and muffins and fun games. Pam (above, who I student taught with at Auburn back in 99-00) was able to come and also our good family friend Harriet.



Marsha, Gay and Erin also were there.

My friend Anna was able to come too! My mom was there too of course!

Baby Memory! When you got a match you got a candy bar that went with the baby word. For example, triplets=3 Musketeers, hospital bill=100 Grand, and C-section=fast break. Very fun!

Trying on her new hat!

Becca got the girls some fun dresses and outfits.

Emma and Marsha

Anna helped Emma get comfy. :)

Thank you for coming down Bec!!

Amber and Andy and Family

My friends Andy and Amber stopped by for a bit. They live in Washington and they have Ashlynn, Drew, and twins, Braden and Tanner. It was cute to see the twins with Abby's strollers.

Dan was at the District Swim Meet.

Valentine's Day!

Abby's card from Grammy!

On Sunday before Valentine's Day we got to have lunch with Noah and Mahlaya and Dave and Grammy. My mom used to make my Dad and my brother and me these heart cookies for Valentine's Day.

Abby decorated a few cookies on her own... I think she mainly just ate the frosting! :)

Uncle Dave with his nieces!

Grammy's grandkids!

Watching a video clip on Uncle Dave's iphone.

After lunch we went bowling!

Emma slept through the whole thing. :)

Abby and Mahlaya

Uncle Dave took his turn helping Abby bowl.

Abby made sure her hands were dry.

Yay! Happy Bowling!

Relaxing with Daddy...

Bath Time! Abby likes to help. The other day she dumped the tub all over the counter and floor! Then she slipped in the water! Very traumatic! :(

All clean!

Snuggling with Grammy.

"Teacher! Teacher! I know! Pick me!" :)

So little! Precious little fingers and toes...

More snoozing on Daddy.

Bright eyes and some smiles!

Darn sideways pics!! I thought it was funny because she kept grabbing onto the toy by accident.

Tired out from shopping with Mommy and Abby.

This was my cradle when I was a baby. My mom has it set up at her house.

Happy almost Valentine's Day!!

Abby and her babies. The boy Cabbage Patch Kid, Timmy, belonged to my brother and the girl, Eva, belonged to my mom. Eva was a gift from my best friend Becca's mom, Cindy, who did great Cabbage Patch Kid voices. :) The sweaters and clothes they are wearing were made by my Grandma, Beatrice Grace Midgley (my mom's mom and Abby's namesake).

Pretty girl! My baby Emma is growing up already!

Sisters...

My precious babies!!
