On Saturday, my Aunt Jackie, Carrie, Emma, and Becky gave me a very nice baby shower. The theme was little pink baby feet-it was so cute!! It was nice to see so many aunts, cousins, and friends attend! Again, Sweet Pea was very spoiled. Thanks again to all for the very nice gifts. I can't wait for her to arrive to start using them!!
While I was home visiting for awhile, I was able to get in on the annual camping trip with my family at Lake Thompson. My niece Anna and I drove there Friday morning from Mitchell. The weather was typical for Memorial Day-windy and cold! Nonetheless, I had a great time being with family and friends, making it even harder to say goodbye when I had to leave early Sunday morning. I am very appreciative of my Mom & Dad who got up with me at 3:30 AM on Sun. to drive me to the airport in Sioux Falls. Thank You! 
I think Justin was the favorite uncle this weekend for bringing his 2 four-wheelers. The kids loved the rides all weekend!

My college girlfriends, Holli, Dena, and Nikki gave me a wonderful baby shower at Bracco's in Sioux Falls. It was so much fun seeing so many friends, since it had been since my wedding. Also attending were my mom, Izabella, Anna, Pat's mom Kathee, and his two sisters, Molly, Michaela, and niece Chloe. Sweet Pea was very spoiled by everybody! Thanks again to all for all the nice gifts. It means alot to us!
Despite their busy work, Dan, Justin, and Jessica came to visit for 6 days. They had never been to this part of the country, so it was fun showing them life in the desert. We did many of the things as when mom & dad were here, but because the weather was nicer we were able to do alot more hiking. 
The top picture is on the tram going up the Sandia Mts. Once we got there, we hiked the rest of the way to the top of the Mt, and then back to the tram. It took us 3 hours round trip. The top picture is Dan and Pat at Kiwanis Cabin, a stone cabin built years ago for stranded hikers. 
Pat and I taking a break-it was much needed for me!
Hiking to the waterfalls in the Jemez Mts.
Dan hiking down from ontop of a waterfall. I don't think he was able to make it much further than shown. It was pretty steep!
The five of us having a delicious lunch in Santa Fe at Coyote Cafe.
Back at the Miraculous Staircase in Santa Fe-Justin is determined that he is going to figure out how it was built with no nails. He bought 2 videos, and many brochures/booklets. He claims he's got it figured out, but waiting to reveal the mystery.
Justin and Dan both rented Harleys on the last day they were here. Because they had a late flight out, they were able to get in about 6 hours of riding through the mountains. Jessica rode with Justin, but because of my preggo belly, I wasn't able to ride with Dan. They also rode through Madrid (where Wild Hogs was filmed), while Jessica filmed them coming into town & pulling up to Maggies Cafe. The video was neat-however not as intimidating as the Del Fuegos!
