Mother's Day and other AWESOMENESS from Rick!

So I was able to fly home to Utah for 10 days which was a much needed family time trip to see all my new nieces and so Rick's family could see how big I was! Rick's Mom gave me an awesome baby shower with family and friends and I didn't even think to take pictures, but with all the great people in life we were sooo blessed to have such great support from them. This is also the Maloy's first grandchild so there was lots of excitement and Rick's sisters have a bet going to see who is going to be the best Aunt. We got tons of baby clothes and a few other things like diapers and other necessities. I was able to spend half the time in St. George with my family and it was so nice to get the sisters together and meet the 4 new nieces that have joined the giant growing Wilson family. We did a family get together/shower for me, it was perfect! I was able to see everyone in my family which is pretty rare. We did an Easter egg hunt for all the kids and they had a blast. My sisters and Mom went in together on a gift for the baby so we decided it would go to the car seat and stroller combo. I ordered it last night and it will be here soon. My sister julie made a really cute baby sling and lots of other fun stuff and a few other sisters went in on such an adorable baby bouncer and Bonnie got us some super cute outfits for the baby. Overall it was a great trip to go home and see the Maloy's and the Wilson's we miss them all so so much! I got home on Easter Sunday to a very exhausted tired husband at the airport, I was so confused why he was soooo tired! We got home and before he let me get out of the car he said he had a little surprise for me so he wanted me to stay in the car for a minute. He finally let me come inside but made me close my eyes and this is what I opened my eyes too!





That's right! the cutest crib ever! So we had talked about to get a crib or not to get one till we moved back to Utah, we had decided we would wait and find one on KSL and just re-finish it or something like that. Well during the 10 days that I was gone Rick found one on Craig's List and totally re-finished it... here is the whole process he went through! He sanded it all down and then stained it and then did that process again so that he could get it to match the rocking chair we have.






This is just to show the color it was before and how much work put into this special secret project!

















Sorry I know it is a lot of pictures but I didn't want to take away from how much work Rick had put into this project! He put in well over 40 hours on top of being in French class and doing all his homework, he was up almost the whole night before he picked me up from the airport so that was why he was sooo tired and exhausted!

MOTHER'S DAY!
So again Rick surprised me with such a cute present. On Saturday he "went golfing" with his friend Zane but decided to make a little detour after and picked up some potting soil and a bunch of cute flowers! We spent the morning planting flowers together, it was a lot of fun and I will always cherish those moments we have together! Best Mother's Day yet! I know it was my first one but Rick set the bar pretty high!
