Baby showers and stuff

My little sis Betsy is going to have a baby by the end of the month so Amy and I decided it was time to have a shower for her. We held it in Wyoming at my mom's house on Sat. The roads were terrible so I decided to leave Mark and the kids home. I didn't want any more people out on the roads than needed to be. It took me awhile to get there and back but I thankfully didn't have any incidences.

Bes's shower was fun. I would post pictures but I left my camera at my parents. :( I don't like not having my camera. What if the kids do something embarrassing and I want to capture it for posterity? Amy and I made little cucumber sandwiches, toffee dip and apples, cookies, homemade slush, and pickle wraps. Very girly food. Bes made a haul and I think she was happy.

About 1/2 hour after the shower my sisters and I were going to take my mom out to dinner for her birthday and we got a text from Kendall in Hawaii that said, "It's crazy about the avalanche" or something to that effect. We didn't know what he meant but we had a really bad feeling. It turns out that 3 snowmobilers from Star Valley were caught underneath a massive snowslide and died. They were all from Smoot, Wy and had at least 9 kids between them. One of them unfortunately was Betsy's OB. She was shocked to say the least and felt terrible for the Dr's family, being a young widow once herself. She will now go to another doctor in the same practice for her remaining 2.5 weeks and the delivery.

Needless to say, we all lost our appetites so we didn't go out to dinner and I instead headed home. It took me about 3 hours instead of 2 but I was really glad to get home Sat. night late.

Zane is being transferred for the first time tomorrow. Love ya Z!

Life is good and go Mitt in MI!
