Last week I flew home for a quick trip to visit my family before baby Grady comes. It was so much fun to hang out with my mom and sister, Stacie (the only one of my siblings that still lives at home) and to see some of my friends.
Dinner with the Family
My parent's home is a construction zone right now so we had plenty of chances to go out to eat! They are re-doing the kitchen, family room, breakfast nook, etc and so it was a little bit of a mess! To make matters worse, from 10AM to 9PM one day we had no power so it was kind of a tough day, but we all met up for dinner and had a fun night anyway!

Yorba Linda Baby Shower
The fabulous ladies from my home ward threw a beautiful baby shower for me. A big thank you to Sunee Madsen, Leslee Grigoruk and Holli Brown for all you did to make it a lovely day!
Did we mention that we've named our unborn child?
(By the way, I don't want to hear about it if you don't like that name...seriously people, keep it to yourselves!)
Yummy brunch food :)
I wish this picture wasn't all "glare-y" but it was the only one we got with all the girls.

Leslee had the cutest baby matching game...so much fun!
Yes, she does!
My mom's gift (among other things, of course!) was to decorate the baby's room. In August she flew in to paint the baby's room and ever since then she has been working on the bedding. We picked out the fabric together, but I didn't get to see the finished product until my shower.
This is the bumper...I love it!
Here is the hand stitched quilt...how cute is that?
And the back is my favorite part - minky!
Thank you to everyone for coming to my shower! It was so wonderful :)
In-N-Out
A must for every trip to California!

That purple looks so pretty on you! You're such a cute prego momma!! I'm so excited for this baby to get here!
How fun is that!!!! I love your unborn child's name :) It is nice when the parents can agree on a name before they HAVE to name their baby because the baby is/has come! Hugs to you, Kevin, and your baby bump.
how fun to be with the fam. good luck with the next few weeks!
