Baby Shower is Over !

Well the baby shower is over and Krystle got lots of stuff for the baby. Seems funny though that a lot of her friends and co-workers called or texted her that something came up and they couldn't come. So it was just family that showed. Grandma Judy had a huge bag with lots of gifts inside. Mawmaw Vida and Aunt Ann also came. Krystle had never met them but they got her a housewarming gift and a baby gift. Darlene did too. So, all in all, Matt and Krystle got a lot of nice things.

More about Baby Shower

Well tonight I was watching tv when the doorbell rang. It was Krystle and her mom, Rose. They had been to the Dollar Tree and bought all kinds of stuff for the shower. All the stuff is baby shower items and this is meant to be a housewarming too. Thats why we said "housewarming/baby shower" on all the invites.
I had meant for this thing to be classy but it seems they have other ideas. So I guess I'll have to go along with the party balloons, ice cream with the cake and punch, and streamers hanging all over the room.

Drama ! Drama!

Well, Krystle's mom just has to have her way with lots of drama thrown in too.
I had planned the housewarming/baby shower for Matt & Krystle, got them to pick a day and I found a time that would work with Matt's work schedule. So we tell Rose. She gets huffy saying she can't take a day off, but can take other days off, so what the hey! Well she tells Krystle in no uncertain terms that I am trying to take her place in Krystle's life. Huh, can't help the fact that Matt and Krystle both call us for help since when they call Rose she says she can't help or she promises to help then never shows.
Anyway, Rose had a hissy fit says she won't come to the shower because of me. Krystle talks to her (several phone calls all night long) and they decide to change the times for the shower but to still have it at my house. So I guess I must get ready to deal with more fireworks as I've already planned the event and all the foods.
Can't you tell, even though I'm trying to be nice, it still irks me that this is happening. And she will still get her way!

4th of July

Well we had a really good 4th. We were invited to Juanita and Fred's party. It started about 1 pm and was starting to break up around 7:30 pm when we left. There was lots of food, karaoke, and friends. I took lots of pictures with the professional digital camera Daddy left to me. I'm still trying to get used to it-going to take lots of practice.
Afterwards, I picked up Matt and Krystle to go see the city fireworks display at 9 pm. Then Matt decided to have his own fireworks show-bottle rockets and a tornado alley, which was really noisy.
All in all, had a really fun day!
