AZ Baby Shower

Courtney, kindly threw me an amazing shower here in AZ, and I felt so spoiled by the end of it. Everybody that I really care about, here in Mesa, was at the shower, and brought so many wonderful gifts for our baby girl. My mom also came into town for it, and we were able to get some things done in the baby's room (mostly sewing). She also bought me my first sewing machine, as an early birthday present. It's hard to believe that in 3-4 weeks, we will have a baby in our home, to take care of :).

Getting pedicures!

 Some of the pillows my mom and I made :)

Maternity Photos

I was up in the air about taking maternity photos, and wasn't all that thrilled with the idea, but the closer we got to the end of this pregnancy, I started to think it might be a good idea, and I am SO glad that we made the decision to have the photos. We had Ashley (from our ward) take the pictures, and I am so happy with how they turned out. 

Here are a few of my favorites :)

Easter Pageant

Each year, the Mesa temple puts on an Easter Pageant. Last year was the first time I had gone (with the young women), and Tyler had never been, so we thought we definitely had to take advantage, seeing as this would be the last year without a babe. Anyway, we got invited by Brad & Court, who were invited by the sister missionaries and our friend Joe, who's been coming to church the last few months. The missionaries and Joe were able to get close seats, but we were a little further back (still good though :). The pageant really was amazing, and it's neat to see how many people are involved. 

Afterwards, we were able to talk to some of the people who were in the pageant, and they were telling us that the costumes were created to look just like clothes during the time of Christ's birth/Resurrection. They even had a historian come out and help with the costumes. Anyway, if you didn't get a chance to go this year, make it happen next year!
