SURPRISE!!!!!

Well, I guess turnabout is fair play; I found out last night, that I am not the only one with something up their sleeve. At about 7 last night, Pamelia, LaNae, Kim, and Liz picked me up for what I thought was a girls' night out. The plan was to gather at Baibry's for conversation, delicious food, a lot of laughter, and a little sinful dessert to top it off, or so I thought. As I walked into Baibry's last night, I was greeted by a resounding SURPRISE!!!! It actually took me a moment to realize that the surprise was for me. It turns out that Sophia had been scheming and had in fact threatened Rich at church on Wednesday night, to insure that I was indeed going to be there on Saturday night and be none the wiser. I must say Rich did a great job; I had NO idea! I can't tell you how much I loved everything! Sophia treated me to supper and dessert, and I got soooooo many cute things for Colton! Of course, we made sure that we still kept to some of the game plan: conversation, delicious food, a lot of laughter, and a little sinful dessert to top it off. I have to officially say that I have the BEST friends; last night meant more to me than I can say. Sophia even took the time to write me this sweet and touching poem.





A Poem for Colton


Baby Colton, oh so sweet,
How soon your parents will get to meet,
Their third brave son, valiant and strong,
They'll want to hold you all day long.


Brooke and Emma are waiting here,
To help and hold you, oh so dear,
Braden is excited to show you his love,
Spencer will watch you from above.

From the heavens we know you come,
We hope your life will be full of fun,
Your parents will teach and watch you grow,
Sweet baby Colton, we love you so!




How could I not cry after reading that poem?! Sophia, you are awesome (even if you did make me cry)!



Thanks ladies for everything; last night meant more to me than you know! I couldn't ask for better friends!

Carrie, that is so sweet. This made me want to cry. I remember all you went through when you had Spencer, and I think it is wonderful that she included him. I know we have talked often with others of our other children. Thanks for sharing. And congrats on the upcoming event.
