Family Fun

I LOVE when I get to spend time with my family and on Saturday, I got to do that all day! Saturday morning was my sister-in-law, Trisha's, baby shower. My mom, sister-in-law Brooke, and I all rode out to Surprise to go to that. Trisha is due in March and I'm soooo excited to finally have a niece. Her name is going to be Mackenzie Ryan Fenn. Trish got tons of cute stuff at the shower and my brother's girlfriend (also one of my good friends) Olivia was also at the shower--she's practically family! We're just waiting for a wedding..we'll see. Anyway, they had a chocolate fountain and lots of yummy treats to dip in it. After that we went back to Josh and Trisha's and all the boys took my dad out to go look for a truck! While they were gone, we girls ordered Chinese and watched American Idol that Trish had taped.
Finally the boys came home...with a new truck...not one that they had bought of course but one my dad liked very much. It's very rare that my dad does anything for himself so it was fun to see him excited about something for once!
That evening we had a little birthday dinner for Braden who turns two tomorrow! It was fun being with all the family, laughing and having a good time.
Steven and I also did some fried plantains on Friday nights and I was surprised how much I liked them. There are a few pictures of Steven cooking those! And Jeremy's adorable dog Diesel and Olivia sucking helium :o) My dad and Josh weren't too sure what was going on when they walked in the door.
