All about the lawyers

The oath
Ben saw me pull out the camera so what did he do,,,, turned away.... Jerk!@!

this past Thursday Ben was sworn in and is now a member of the Utah Bar and can now practice law officially!! Yeah... They have this program you have to go to where you say an oath and sign a roll and everything (so official) So we headed over the Salt Palace but ended up being late because we couldn't park anywhere and with downtown construction you can't turn around anywhere, so i ended up having to drop Ben off so he could get in right as it was starting and i had to go find a parking spot. Thanks heavens my mother in law came down and saved me a seat or i wouldn't have seen anything. they didn't even have enough seats for all the lawyers that were getting sworn in. Ben got lucky and some friends had saved him a seat and my mother in law was only a row lower then them so we got a good look at Ben when they called the wrong name for him and everything else... it was fun to see even if Ben thought it was dumb we came and it was a fun day of no work, shopping, and eating out after with Ben's mom. We even found a dresser for the child which made me very happy...

And Another Baby Shower

This past weekend we headed up to Logan once again and had my family baby shower... I have the greatest mom and sisters to come up and throw the shower... and i have the greatest in laws, they are always there for whatever.. I headed up Friday afternoon with Lisa and the kids and then hung out with my family and went shopping for the makings of Ben's daddy diaper pail kit..-lots of fun- then we had pizza and Ben finally made it up. We, well i should say my mom made her famous and my FAVORITE pumpkin cookies and her mini cheese cake things. Saturday Ben headed to Preston to hang out with his brother and we set up and got ready for the shower..the shower was a lot of fun and i got lots of cute stuff.. after the shower i went over to Melissa Johnston's, she is one of my favorite ladies!! I watched her kids for like 4 years and she is the best bow maker ever so i took a list over to get some bows made... Well she made me lots and i spent lots of money but they will be cute., Conli informed Lisa and Brent that since we still aren't set on a name that she was going to call the baby- baby Emily- till she got here. All of my family are waiting on us to decide on a name and sorry to say they'll probably have to wait till she gets here for her dad to OK one... Sunday we spent the day in Idaho with Ben's mom and then headed home because we both had to work Monday.. It's was a good weekend--long-- but good.. thanks again to my family for all they did.. And Casi we missed you and wished you could of come..

Yesterday after i got home from work i decided that i needed to start trying to get everything organized in the babies room... well that's a little easier said then done, we haven't got her dresser yet so i don't really have anywhere to put anything. So instead i just went through all the presents and put all her bathroom stuff away and made a list of all the stuff we still need.. wow we have a lot thanks to Jena and Lisa !!! thanks for having girls before me and then letting me barrow all your cute stuff..



we still have way to much to do...
