Trip to C - town!

...Cardston that is. I can't believe it had been over 4 months since I was home! At Christmas we went straight to B.C. to meet up with my family, and so far this year we just hadn't made it down there - so I was really looking forward to our trip down. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint! On Friday night we met up at the Keg with Tom & Ashley and Jeremy & Paige to celebrate Nick and Ashley's birthdays. Y-U-M! The best part for me was the fact that Nick and I had a gift card, so we could order whatever we wanted and not have to worry about 'breaking the bank'. So awesome :) It was fun to finally be able to meet (and snuggle) baby Gray and also to see Paige prego. Our babies are due less than a week apart so it is fun to have someone that's going through the same thing as me at the same time.

The boys: Tom, Nick & Jer

The girls: Paige, me & Ashley

Saturday afternoon we had quite the shindig at my Mom's house as she and Jill threw me an awesome baby shower. We had a fabulous turnout, and it was great to have SO many aunts and cousins there, as well as a bunch of really good friends. Thanks for coming everybody - it was so fun to see you!

My cute niece Dani

Isn't my Mom adorable? I just love her!

Vinnie just happened to be in town for her Grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary, so I lucked out in getting to see her and have her come to my baby shower. It was so good to see you Vin, it had been WAY too long!

Megan, Andy, Shaunie and Aunt Lorraine (all of whom I don't get to see near enough - so I'm really excited for the Hull reunion this summer!)

Abbey & Grayden

Just showin off some of the goods...

My Mom/Jill and Sheila Hall (Mom #2) made these two adorable 'diaper cakes'.
So fun and so cute!

A pic with the rest of the Hull ladies that came: L-R : Tisha, Aunt Glenys, Dani, Jill, me, and Eryn. (with Mom and Grandma Hull sitting in front - Oh and I guess I should mention that the two adorable little boys are Eryn's twins Josh & Zach)

Our weekend capped off with some Schow/Bennett family time on Sunday as we all got together for Grayden's blessing. Cindy and Ashley hosted an AMAZING ham dinner afterwards, and I can honestly say that it 'takes the cake' as far as any sort of family get-togethers go. Seriously. Ham with a delicious ginger sauce on top, stuffed baked potatoes, yummy salads, homeade rolls and a fabulous cheesecake for dessert. More please! Maybe I can hire them to do a dinner for me???
