No Pink Allowed

My very first baby shower was thrown by Kristy, Tawny and Carly. They are such amazing friends and put together such a manly boy shower for me.  It included slogans like "no pink allowed" and "pink stinks." I absolutely love the idea.  Plus, who better to throw the shower than my friends that all have little boys! (Kristy just had her 2nd baby boy in June, and Tawny was just about to have her little girl the following week; don't they both look spectacular?!)

 My mom even came to town for the shower, and these are her friends that have migrated to Utah (except Sheri, but she spends a lot of her time her anyway). Mary, Sheri, Christie and Martha.  They have all had an enormous impact throughout my life.  Such great examples. I love them.

My aunt Sue and cousin ('s wife) Cindy came down from Riverton.  It's always so fun to see them, and to have family on my dad's side so close. All the rest of them live in Idaho.

 

Love these chicas too! Amanda, Jacinth and Anna.  Such great friends. :) They make me so happy. And

You can't have a family event without a cousins picture. Kirstin was also there but left before we had a chance to tak the shot. I love that all these cutie patooties are close by. It makes me very happy, especially now that we are only a half hour apart, rather than 2 hours.

I've been friends with Jo since birth pretty much, and friends with Carly since freshman year at BYU.  Both of them are such great moms and examples. I am so lucky to have such great friends, and that they are close by.  These girls are in Salt Lake, which means I need to be seeing more of them!  I love them!

 

Kim and Sheri.  My other sister and my second mom.  Love love love them.

Jen was also in town for a day for her friends wedding, so she and Lucy were able to come for the festivities too.  I love my family. I'm so blessed.

And what an amazing friend I have in Kristy. She organized everything and is so good to me. I love her and her adorable family. Thanks for my first baby shower! And thanks to everyone who came and spoiled Baby Mac.
