The Shower!

Last Saturday we had a baby shower for Sarah. It was so much fun. Sarah's Grandma Packard was a wonderful hostess and us sisters got to be in charge of the food. We're good at that! I made a lemon cheesecake... it was yummy.

So for the past few months I have been working on a blessing gown for baby Dean. Sarah picked out the pattern and I finally finished it the night before the shower. Here is the finished gown and booties. I think it turned out well.
Mom and Dad got Dean some outfits. Sarah is trying them on... She is just sooooo dang CUTE!
Sarah is looking at the booties.
It was such a wonderful time. Sarah's family is so great! I loved it.

Blasts from the past.

Today at work I met the inbound flight from Cody, WY.
As the passengers were coming off I saw Mr. Reily... My high school English teacher. Wow talk about some flash backs.
Then I saw Senator Simpson. He's always so nice.
So I'm telling my buddy next to me about Mr. Reily and some funny high school stories when the fight attendant comes in with a rather dashing paper boy hat. She says it's Senator Simpson's. Well I know he's going to Washington D.C. so I tell her I'll take care of it.
I head to the crown room and Senator Simpson is just checking in and I say, "Excuse me Senator Simpson. Does this belong to you?"
He looks at the hat and tell me, "You sweet child! Thank you. You're so nice to bring it from the plane." Then he gives me a little hug and a kiss on the cheek. hee hee
Then as I'm coming out of the crown room to go back to work I saw Wynn Manning. She says hi to everyone. She's off to D.C. to visit her son I think.
I didn't get a chance to talk to her due to the fact that I was walking backward on the moving walkway and people were getting mad at us.
So.. fun day.

New Project!

Here are our new shelves! Aren't they snazzy! Mom and Dad came into town today and I thought I would exploit Dad's knowledge and Dave's tools and enlist Karla and Dad to help build shelves for our food storage.
They turned out better than I could have imagined! Dad did such a great job. He worked the hammer drill and I held the bracket and level. Karla distributed the screws. Then after all the brackets were in place we grabbed Philips screw drivers and all pitched in. My favorite shelf was the bottom. We were all laying on are backs giggling... well Dad wasn't, but I think he was on the inside...
I really couldn't have done it without Dad and Kar.
Thank you guys so much!
