Taryn's Baby Shower Weekend

 Burleson's Summer Concert Series held downtown on Friday nights; Mike and I were going to dinner at Fresca's and we were able to see a little bit of it :)
 Mike and I at the Rangers vs. Mets game Saturday afternoon for Mike's work; it seems like just the other day we were there last year celebrating; we were in the Bullpen Suite
 The balcony of the suite just above the Mets bullpen; awesome watching them warm up a bit!
 Sunday afternoon just before people started arriving for Taryn's Baby Shower; here's all the food on the kitchen table; it was all sooo good!  We did have a lot of leftovers, but Martin (a guy from work) came to pick up some of them and bring them to work for the guys.
 The drinks, diaper cake, cake, and gifts were all in the dining room; altogether, there was plenty of room for everything to be laid out, which was great!  Mike and I were super happy b/c we were nervous about it haha.
 Me, Jill, Taryn, Katy K, and a wife in the living room/dining room area while the guys were in the kitchen eating
 Me holding Taryn's prego belly :)  Mike and I get to be an Aunt and Uncle again haha.  We've been best friends since 5th grade (so for 16 years) so this is a BIG deal to have a baby on the way!  It's so exciting!
 All the guys in the kitchen around the food; Mike, Francisco, Cody, Tullis, Alexander, and Kesler
 Taryn and Cody around all their loot :)
 The soon to be mom and dad opening their gifts in the living room
 Everyone watching the happy soon to be parents open their gifts in the living room
 Another view of everyone watching
 And more people joined the party
 Katie, Tullis, Porter, and Griffin in the kitchen getting their food since they got there a little late :)
 Mike and I sitting on the couch with the dogs in the background watching; they were both so good!
 All the guys taking a break from playing football in the backyard; Mike, Francisco, Cody, Kesler, Alexander, Tullis, and Porter
 And us females staying inside talking about pregnancy; Heather, Katy K, me, Taryn, Katie P, Griffin, and Jill
Mike and I playing with the puppies in the backyard after everyone left.
It was a great baby shower and everyone had a blast!  We were soo glad it went so well and we're so glad Taryn and Cody enjoyed it!  They got a bunch of good stuff and they're definitely prepared for Wyatt to make his appearance.  It was a great weekend spending so much time with Mike and updating the house a bit before the shower.  Mike hung the speaker wire through the attic for our back speakers and we updated the guest bath by painting, getting a new light fixture, and toilet paper holder.  We also got a new light for the kitchen chandelier.  It was a great motivation to update the house a bit so we were psyched!  Altogether, things are going well and we can't wait for our cruise next month!!  It can't come soon enough!
