Bridal Shower #2

I barely remembered that I was helping throw Katie a Bridal shower on Saturday and was able to throw together my salad and "Christmas" slush early Friday morning with a very helpful Riley Man.  Christmas slush is a favorite of ours over at Derrick's Grandma's house on Christmas day and I called her and got the ingredients which were rather intimidating but it was easy and tastes sooooo GOOD!  We have been enjoying the leftovers for a special treat after dinner!  Aunties Jeanne, Judy, Jill and I planned and executed the shower rather easily on Saturday at Church and Katie received lots of nice gifts.  The cake and chocolate fountain were my personal highlights added to the fact that we only have 23 days left before we fly out! 

It was fun and now comes the hard part...dress shopping and even worse swimsuit shopping : ( I have been doing some extra workouts to make it less painful and at this point I just really don't care anymore.  Derrick and Riley love me and they both tell me I look beautiful so that is all that matters.  Riley gives Mommy lots of hugs and kisses and then lays on my belly while I am doing sit-ups with Jillian so work-outs are fun again (and so much more challenging with an extra 20 lbs to "sit up" with)!  He tries to do arm crosses with Mommy and marches with a soup can in hand which he thinks is just like my weights.  He is a hoot and I should really let Derrick video it although I don't know that I want to broadcast my sweat fest!  


Thanks for help with the shower my dear Auntie's and here's to shopping!
