Sis. Shannon's baby shower

7/11/09 At 1:00 pm was Sis. Shannon's baby shower. It was at the place by the Morton's house where we had the Easter singing. When we walked in there was a blanket on a table that we signed for Sis. Shannon. We had lunch there, there were vegetable sandwiches, pasta salad (I think), and fruit salad. Also, Sis. Cora and Ashley were there.

This was taken after lunch. Ashley wanted to take silly pictures while we waited for everyone to finish lunch. I deleted my silly picture though cause it didn't look that cool. So only Ashley gets to look silly, haha.

For the first game we played we had a piece of paper with a list of words. Like: 11 pound baby, Grandparents, Boys' names etc. Sis. Valerie held up a board with a lot of candy on it and we had to match the candy with the words on the paper. So for 11 pound baby, we put the candy Whopper by it. Sis. Valerie would walk back and forth to the 3 tables so everyone could see them, and Daneka was following her the whole time because she wanted the candy. Sis. Valerie gave her one and Daneka was all happy.

Sis. Judy won, she got all of them right. I got all but 3 right, so did a lot of other people. Here is my list:

Sis. Valerie had called Bro. Aaron and asked him some questions before the party, then for the second game we played, Sis. Valerie asked Sis. Shannon the same questions and she had to try to guess what Bro. Aaron said. All of us had to write down how many questions we thought she would get right. There were 12 questions, but for the first question Sis. Valerie accidentally gave away the answer so we didn't count that one.

Sis. Shannon got 6 out of 11 right, and that's how many I guessed so I got a candy bar. Yay! A couple of other people won too.

That was the last game, then we had dessert and Sis. Shannon opened presents. For dessert Sis. Michele made some monkey cupcakes cause Sis. Shannon loves monkey's. She also made little carrot cake muffins. They were both really good.

Sis. Valerie got a present I think from the Wayenberg's. Sorry if I got it wrong. She got a picture frame. She was like, "What? This isn't my shower!"

Sis. Shannon got two monkey stuffed animals. One was from Ashley, and one was from her sister-in-law Stephanie.

Her last present was a baby crib. She really liked that one, she started crying. Sorry if I embarrass you Sis. Shannon :) I didn't mean to.

We cleaned up after that. Stephanie gave all of us a little goodie bag. Her and Sis. Valerie were in charge of the party. Good job guys, it was a nice party!

On Sunday we had Sis. Cora, Ashley, Austyn, Cheree, and Jason's family over for lunch after church. That day it was raining a lot and there was a thunder storm. Our power went out about 3 times. It's funny because Matt and Ben went to their school to play ultimate frisbee with some guys. My mom was worried and my dad told them, "if you get struck by lightning then come home" that made Cheree and I laugh a lot. The boys came back soaking wet. Ashley and I had a drawing contest to see who drew better. Then us kids played Apples to Apples. That game went on for so long that everyone but Matt, Ashley, and I dropped out. We literally played for 2 hours. We got sooooo many cards, and forgot to take a picture with them all. Oh well, I don't think all of the cards would fit into the picture anyway lol.
