So last month, my older sister Karalene and I decided to give our next younger sister Brenda a baby shower (she was having her 3rd child and had never had a baby shower) only problem was we wouldn't be able to be there, we both live in Cali and she lives in Utah along with most of our other family. So we figured we could plan it all and with the help of our great sister in laws and mom we could give Brenda a great baby shower. Well we decided to drive out and surprise her for her shower. Our youngest sister Erica also came (she lives 5 hours away from Brenda) Karalene traveled 4 hours to drive with me and help me with my 3 youngest kids I took on the trip. (Brianne and Easton stayed here, so they wouldn't miss any school, and a huge thank you to Jared, who made it possible that I could go and a gigantic thank you to my friend, Heidi for watching my kids when Jared couldn't, I owe you big time!!!!!) So Karalene and I talked non-stop all the way there, the kids did good, but Jace didn't like it when it turned dark. I was so glad Karalene could travel with me and help me out with my kids and driving. It was a great trip!! I was gone for 6 wonderful days!! (1st sisters trip I've gone on, but won't be the last!!) So here's my beautiful, giggly sister Brenda at the baby shower!! (yes, she was surprised we were all there!!)

That is such a darling picture of you and your sisters! I'm so glad you were able to come and visit with your family. It looks like you had a great time being together! And I still can't believe you were here--so fun to talk with you!
