Robbie and I were lucky enough to take a quick trip to Oklahoma to see his family over Labor Day weekend.  It was a lot of fun for me to finally meet all of his siblings and nieces and nephews.  It was really hot that weekend so I look awful in all of the pictures, but I will post some because I know people want to see them.  Robbie and I took our camera, but of course did not take a single picture so here are pictures other members of the family took.

Saturday early afternoon there we got together at the park for grandkids pics.  The adults hung out and tried to stay cool.

Saturday evening they surprised Robbie and me with a family baby shower.  We walked into a room full of gifts including a diaper cake that must have taken forever to make.  We are so blessed to have amazing families and are grateful for all of their love and suppor.  Here are some pictures.

This is one of the few pregnant pictures you are going to see of me.  I was a hot tired mess!



 Isn't this fruit baby cute!

Julia was our helper opening presents and giving them to us.  I was holding baby Bella and Robbie was opening gifts.  Julia did not think he was opening stuff fast enough so she helped us out.

Sunday was church and hanging out followed by an amazing Korean meal with Eric and Sarah Parks!  Eric is a roommate of Robbie's from BYU.  Monday we woke up, went to breakfast with Katie and James, packed up our loot in the 44 inch duffle bag we had to buy and headed to the airport.

We had a lot of fun!  Thanks again Church family for the fun trip, all of the gifts and for thinking of us!



My friends Rochelle and Dave have five of the cutest kids you've ever met.  They are like family to me!  I made quilts for all of her kids and she kindly took pictures for me so I have a record.

It is fun for me to see these quilts again.  I have loved making every single one of them!  Rochelle and Dave are like family to me.  I am grateful for the friendship and support and for letting me part of their lives.
