After months of prodding by my sister, Peter and I finally took a quick trip to Utah last week. Yes. I took this crazy little man on a plane, by myself, while 8 months pregnant. I promise I'm not completely insane. Just really missing my family.
Petey did really well on the flight - probably because it was only 1.5 hours long and he got to watch
Cars. Frankly he was in heaven since we flew out of Long Beach where you still are able to go outside and walk up the stairs to the plane. This little man loves his airplanes.
Against all my protests, my cute sister Tracie and SIL Kristi threw me a baby shower the first night. Of course, I loved it and it was so nice to be able to see so many family and friends all at once. Plus, Tracie really knows how to throw a party. The
food people, was stellar. Which is quite important to a pregnant woman you know.
I also had Tracie do my hair before the shower mainly because I had decided to become a blonde again. I think the cut and color turned out wonderful even though my crazy pregnancy hormones turned my hair a nice bright strawberry blonde the first go-round. The end result however, I am a big fan of.
Me with some of the cute baby loot.
My mom, Tracie, Kristi and I. It was so nice to spend so much time with all of them - we even took an evening to go to the
BYU Dancesport competition together. Which was fabulous as always. Travis' comment? "I'm just glad I didn't have to go." I'm pretty sure all of our husbands felt the same way, hon.
Some of my wonderful book friends made it to the shower too! This is
Holly (who used to work with me) and
Angie (who runs one of the
best book blogs around) here with me. I'm was so pleased they both could make it. I seriously buy so many books on their recommendations alone.
My only sadness was that I didn't get a good picture of all my friends from Provo -
Angela, Amber, and
Katie - even though we enjoyed a yummy Magleby's breakfast together one morning. Those girls kept me sane all through Trav's masters program and still remain some of my very best friends.
It was a fantastic trip tho although I was very, very glad to come home. Thanks again to all my great family for showing me such a wonderful time!

You look great! Tracie did an excellent job on your hair! And look at your mom... :) She hasn't aged a bit! :)
I was looking at the first picture of Peter with the stickers with our Elliot and he said, "Look at all those stickers on me." It's funny how similar our little boys are still. I remember them crawling around together when you were still living in Provo.
Best of luck in the last month of pregnancy!
Joe and Charlotte
It was so great to see you! We miss you so much out here but this is just a good excuse for more California trips!
8 months preggers? You have to be kidding. You look so great! I love the color and cut.
