Baby showers, and baby showers and more baby showers!!!

Ok so there is so much to catch up on. Life has been full of fun and busy events. I have them in order to what has been going on in the last three crazy weeks of my life.
So below you will see all my fun baby showers that were thrown for me three weeks ago, but this one that is posted first took place this last Saturday which was of great SURPRISE to me and Kyle. Some friends of ours that we knew that were once in our ward that we loved (ZACK and SHALLY) moved on us and decided that we needed to get together and have dinner before this baby comes. Well, Shally sets it all up and tells me that her and Zack will pick us up at six and that they would love to treat us to dinner. So they come that night to treat us to dinner and ask us if it's ok that we stop by the Jones home, (who are in our ward) really fast to drop off a dessert to a party that they aren't going to be able to make. Well me and Kyle weren't thinking anything about it because one, that's totally Shally, she does anything and everything for people and two, they use to live right across the street from the Jones so their pretty close with the Jones I would assume, and three, Zack was talking to them on the phone while we were driving over there and he stated that he had the Boyer's with him and that we would just stop in really quick to say hi cause we were on our way to dinner. So we all walk in to say hi really quick and drop off some dessert and when we walked in everyone yelled.. SURPRISE!!!!! Me and Kyle were so confused. It probably took us about 3 minutes to figure out that it was for us. We were so surprised after they told us that it was a baby shower for us. WHAT a great ward we have. I loved every minute of it because Kyle was actually a part of it. We made Kyle sit in the main event chair and open all the presents. He loved it:)
Thanks again to all those who came and supported us, it was really nice to be surprised and know that you are thought of.
This is me making Kyle sit in the main event chair to open all the presents!
Kyle loving the flowers for her hair!
This was the best, Brooke McCune from our ward made Kyle his own diaper bag kit, it was hilarious. It had the gloves, goggles, nose clip, the diapers and baby powder, with the tongs to throw the dirty diaper away. Kyle was a great sport and put it all on for everyone.

This was the beginning of the bag before Kyle dove in for the suit up!
This was my baby shower that was thrown for me by my St. George girl friends earlier that morning. Shannon was the coordinator on this one and couldn't have thrown me a cuter shower. Thanks to much for all your planning it really meant a lot to me:)
You can't tell me that this isn't the cutest thing ever! I can't wait to take her pictures in it!
This was my girlfriends from my college life. My best friend Desi and Kaylee threw this shower for me up in Ogden. It was so good to see all my old roommates and friends! Again I can't thank those two enough for coordinating everything.

My best friend Desi that is always so good to me, how I lived my life before she came into it is beyond me. If we could only be closer to each other :(

This is Kaylee for those of you who don't know her, she is about 4 months pregnant here.... I think and you can't even tell. Were both so excited to have kids together. I just can't believe that's whats really happening.

I couldn't believe that the Thornlys really made it. This was the family that I nannied for, before me and Kyle got married and their so so so busy I thought for sure that they wouldn't be able to make it. I loved every minute of catching up with the kids and parents. I sure do miss them!

And of course the family baby shower. My mother in law is great, she threw me a shower while up north which turned out great. I got so many nice gifts and couldn't thank the family enough for all that they do for me and Kyle. Thanks again to the great sister, mother, aunts, grandparents, cousins and friends that Kyle and I have that support us.

Here is a picture of my lovely sister in law and our good family friend Mindy. We had to of course get a picture of the three pregnant girls! PS my sister bought me that really pretty crown to wear the whole evening. It says, "Mother to be" as if you couldn't already tell by my big belly.

And last but not least my mom and good friend Brecke threw me my first baby shower. And you can imagine how, "momma Lopez "went all out! This is a picture of the left over cake that she had made for my shower. It was originally two tiers, and man can I tell you how delicious it was. We forgot to take one the night of the shower, and of course my camera was dead, so my mom has most of the pictures from that night :( Thank you so much mom and Brecke for all that you did and have done for me. I can't tell you much fun I had that night!

My good old drill team friends, it was so much fun seeing my girlfriends that I use to spend every waking minute of my life with, if only I could see them more often!

Here's the whole party, you gotta love my mom's friend who is front and center in MY baby shower picture. We had a great laugh at that one. Thanks to all of you who came it was so good to see you all, I love and miss everyone of you.

And to start off the main event before all the baby showers was my brothers birthday. Conveniently I planned my first baby shower on his birthday so we all got together the night before for dinner. SORRY!!!! I want to let him know how much I love and appreciate him though. I can't explain how close I have grown to him. I can't thank him enough for always being there for me. He suffered with me bugging him and his girlfriends growing up, to coming to a lot of my dance performances when little, attending my high school drill team competitions, watching me graduate from high school, helping me off to collage and dealing with me crying because I missed everyone, to listening to me cry more over my relationships with the boys, to being a part of my wedding, watching me graduate from college, and listen to me throughout my whole pregnancy. He truly has always been there for me. I have always told my mom while growing up that I wish I could just clone my brother to be my husband. What a great brother, husband and father he has been. He has taught me so much about life and how to have a good marriage. I can't thank him enough for the support that he has been to mine and Kyles marriage. I hope that he knows how much I love him, and can't wait for my little girl to get to know her uncle :)
