First, wake up and fold the laundry and start the dishes... feed kids and get them changed... shower... go shopping and end up running into my Brown cousins... catch up with how they're doing.... run into my Wilcox (Chris and Cheryl) cousins and catch up... finally get in the car. I'm 45 min late for a luncheon for all the new mommies and mommies to be thrown by my VTer who's also part of the RS presidency. They waited for me... whoops! They ended up having presents from some of the sisters... which made me feel dumb cause I got things but didn't give anything. Then Jer had to get the kids ready for me to take to a baby shower in SLC. I left to pick up someone from Provo to take with me... part of the way down I realize that I forgot the present, turn around and went back... picked it up... Jer had to wrap it while I was on my way back... Thanks Jer! Went down to Provo, got lost on the way to her house... end up finally finding it at 3:15 when the shower's supposed to start at 3:30 and we still have a 45 -60min drive. Finally get there and I realize I'd forgotten half the present... I hadn't told Jer where it was. And I was the only North American that came... they were all Latinas. Which is fine with me, I had fun catching up with my Spanish and there was actually a big surprise waiting for me... it was just funny because all the Latinas acted like I had no idea what was going on... big surprise for them.
Here's my big surprise... The sister on the left was Hna Lopez... A sister missionary from our mission that is from El Salvador... I left the mission field thinking I'd never cross paths with her again... and yet here she is... living in UT for the last year with her two boys (a 3 year old and a month old) and her husband working for the church in manufacturing... Loved saying hi to her again!
The shower was for Mayra Cueva Clawson... she's only got about 5 weeks left and I think it's pretty funny... I'm fatter in the picture but she looks more pregnant than I do, I've only got about a week and a half left. Partly becasue I'm taller than her by about 4 inches... and my baby's dropped already where hers hasn't. And probably also because mine's a girl and hers is a boy... maybe he's a husky boy? But looking at this picture I can see why some people are still surprised to find out that I'm pregnant and not just fat. I don't exactly have the typical pregnancy shape do I...
The kids had fun playing in the water... Sammy had fun trying to sneak chips from other peoples plates... I hope he's not going to be grumpy at church today because he had corn... And Ada had fun trying to participate in the shower games.
