Well I know I havent updated in a really long time, Ive been both busy and super tired/lazy when I get home from work. We had my baby shower in Riverside on April 18th. It was great, and Perk, Tara and Kimmie did a great job. I was so happy to see everyone, and had a great turn out. Jeff's Mom Robin and Nancy flew in for the shower, and lots of friends and family I had not seen in a long time showed.

On Friday when I arrived Tara, Perk, Woman, the kids and I hit the Market Broiler because I was of course craving crab again. Then we all went to Kimmie's to make Mexican Wedding cookies for the shower. They are delicious.

Me 'n' Perk

That evening I hit the local bowling alley to celebrate Shannon's birthday and finally meet Travis in person. I do see him often digitally, but in person was much better.

Here I am getting ready for the shower. Notice the amount of space between me and the ironing board. It was a tight fit.

The shower was great, Thank you so much Perk for your hospitality, you outdid yourself.

I thought this was a great pic. Perk n' Audrey

Maureen, Me, Shannon and Baby

Can you say Washington Elementary? Yea, Ive known them all since elementary. Perk, Tara, Me, The Changster, and Jessica.

Im not really pissed, I was answering a question about how to work the camera, but look at all that loot! Coleman made out like a bandit.

The girls n me

Yes I did have a piece of cake after the shower. Im sure Ill get over that after Im not pregnant anymore.

Me, xtra chin, and Jennifer

Sara and I. Sara reminded me to stick out face to hide my extra chin. Poor Sara, I hope your knee is better.

A couple of weeks before my shower Anthony came down and we went out to eat. Got to see Petra too.

We also had a spinning day up at Dulitz farm in Springville. It was a great day and knitters/spinners met up from Bakersfield to Fresno. We had a great potluck too.

Cant talk about Riverside with out a shout out to ol' Bert

I talked Jeff into taking me to the local zoo in Fresno. There were only like 10 animals there! Just kidding, it was really small. I spent many days as a kid at the San Diego zoo, so I guess I was spoiled. I was expecting something more like that. It was a good place to walk around and get some exercise tho.
