Baby Wren's Shower in Boise

Little Baby WREN NOELLE is due to come in a few weeks, so it only made sense that THE MOSER GIRLS took the trek down to Boise to shower Wren's mom and dad, my cousin Zach and his wife Carmen, with lots of PINK LOVE.

Grace and I went down to the farm Friday night, after her basketball game, and got up early with G'ma Joan to start the bus route.  First stop, Ben & Kelly's to get Kelly and Miss Millie.  (Lolo got to stay home with Daddy, what fun!)  Then on to (what used to be) the Flying J to pick up Katie and Megan. (Abby had her first softball of the year, so she stayed home with Daddy, what fun!)

The trip down was great...three littles in the way-back, Katie and Kelly in the middle, and Mom and I driving VERY SAFELY to the southern part of the state.

We got there just in time for the party!  Megan and Susan (Carmen's SIL and sister) hosted the sweetest party (where Grace and I won the "Guess the Children's Book Title" game, but who remembers those things?!?)  Zach even stayed around to see what gifts were given and to then assemble them in the living room.

Aunt Christi and Zachariah T. Bottom. (only older cousins remember childhood nicknames...)

And is Carmen with all of the cousins' KIDS!  Millie, Whitney, Megan, Grace, and Conner.  Our girls were so excited to have time to play with Erin's kids...Conner always brings those magnetic blocks...

Cousins!  Kelly, Ellie, Katie, Erin, Megan, Zach, and Carmen.  (Well, cousins and in-laws...no married cousins...ha!)

Cousin Zach sent the baby Seahawks jersey for Zach's daughter...very fitting, coming from Garrett!

And this is my favorite part of Moser get-togethers:  standing around the island, talking.

...and eating.

We did a lot of that.  :)  Aunt Christi always puts out quite the spread!

Mom came with a lot of G'ma Caroline's novels that she just couldn't get rid of...a box of Nora Roberts for Cindy and a box of Debbie Macomber for Christi.  They were thrilled.  (Ha!)

Here are those blocks!

And while the girls were gone, the boys hung out in their jams all day watching soccer, playing technology, and playing with toys!  What fun!

A&W was the lunch stop of choice...and in my weakness I let Grace get an ice cream cone.  She was so generous to share with her little cousin, Millie.

It was such a great fun, quick trip.  We love to have happy reasons to get the Mosers together!
