Norton/Hightower Baby Shower

On July 2, Matt and I drove down to Salt Lake for my last baby shower. Laurie put the shower together for the Norton and Hightower families and the whole thing was hosted at my grandma and grandpa Norton's house. The theme was: Fischer baby under construction!

Laurie went above and beyond with the construction theme! All the decorations were darling! The food was delicious as well! Grandma made grilled cheese sandwiches and we had fruit and yummy desserts!

Laurie put together a "Daddy Diaper Toolkit" for Matt to help him change messy diapers. His kit included a tool bag, wipes, air freshener spray, gas masks, safety goggles, a baby toy, and duck tape!

I am lucky to have the Hightowers as family! Ashley, Melanie (who was due with her baby girl any minute!), Chelsie, and Stacey all came to support us!

I also had a group of aunts and cousins who were able to make it to the shower!

The construction theme even included an outfit for me to wear! Matt was more excited about the vest and hard hat than I was!

Thank you so much to my amazing family who came to the shower to support us! We are so lucky!

Girl's Night Out!

While I was in Salt Lake for the baby showers, I was also able to go see "The Little Mermaid" at Hale Centre Theater with my mom, Kendra, Jenna, Myrna, Kamie, Karen, Kamie's niece, Jenny, Lisa, and Kari. It was the perfect way to end the weekend! The show was amazing and so was the company! I love going to shows!

Friends Baby Shower

The same day as my family shower, I was able to go to Natalie's parents' house for another shower with all my friends! Laurel couldn't come to the shower but I was able to visit with her before the shower and catch up. All the other girls from Skyline made it, and it was so fun! Lindsay was also able to come from our college friends.

Natalie did such a great job putting everything together! All the decorations were darling and we had yummy dinner. The best part was dessert! Natalie had Dunford chocolate doughnuts because she knows that they are my favorite!

Again, everyone was so sweet and generous! It was fun to get gifts from my friends who have babies and toddlers and to see what their favorite things are! It was also fun to get gifts from my friends without kids and to see what they picked out! I am so lucky that all our friends have kept in touch over the years. Through weddings, divorces, babies, moving, college, and all the other crazy things that have happened in the last 10+ years of our lives! I love you girls!

Fischer/Decker/Fox Baby Shower

My mom has been so excited for the baby and has been planning the baby shower for about as long as she knew I was pregnant! She was so worried and stressed and I felt so bad because I knew that it would turn out amazing and it did! My mom invited all of the Decker family, Fischer family, and some friends and so many people came to support us! I felt so much love from everyone!

The decorations were gorgeous! My mom used a lot of the colors from the nursery (navy, green, and gray) and included my favorite things- BOOKS! Everything turned out amazing! We had delicious chicken salad sandwiches, fruit, salad and desserts and my mom had the backyard set up so everyone could sit in the shade and relax!

My mom made a ton of darling wood signs with quotes about reading and had them set up all over, and made this cute banner with baby pictures of Matt and I.

This little tree was where people wrote their advice and hung it. It was so much fun to read all the fun ideas from friends and family.

This was what welcomed all the guests to the shower

And even better than the beautiful decorations and amazing food are the people who put it all together and came to support Matt and I and our upcoming baby boy!

My amazing mom is going to be an amazing grandma to baby boy!

Katie, Kallie, Denise and Ruth! Jeff's family is so amazing to support us!

The best part of showers is visiting with everyone! I wish that I could have talked with everyone for a lot longer!

Cute Claire! I can't believe she is old enough for big girl parties!

Alex and Cass helped my mom put the shower together. They are going to have so much fun being aunts! I am so glad that I got to be an aunt before we started having kids.

Getting ready to open presents

Everyone was so generous! Baby boy is going to be so spoiled.

My mom thinks she is so funny...

Becky and Lizzie were the only people who were able to come from our group of friends. It was so much fun to see them again and get caught up on their lives. Lizzie is expecting her first baby in a few months so it was fun to compare!

Ramona and Mayla (and Pam and Candice) came from the Fischer side, along with a ton of friends from the ward in Sandy!

What an amazing day! We had so many people come by and we were very spoiled. I am lucky to have such supportive family and friends who were willing to come out to Eagle Mountain to visit. I love you all!

What Do You Do In The Summertime?

After we got back from St. George, I have been looking for ways to keep myself entertained. This is the wonderful, albeit a little boring at times, part of summer for teachers! Some of the things I have done this month include work- yes, I have spent a bunch of time working! I had to go to a science training, had a half day work meeting with my team and principal, and spent three days at a robotics workshop at USU. I have had plenty of doctor's appointments, spent time helping Matt work on his parents' house, cleaning, and golfing! I am somehow addicted to golf right now! It is so much fun, even though I have a huge belly and am rapidly approaching my due date, I can't say no when Matt asks if I want to golf. Everyone thinks I'm crazy for going golfing, but it has been so much fun!

36 weeks pregnant... Not sure how pregnant Matt is

Photo bomb... Randy and Nate are good sports to golf with a pregnant lady

Matt and I have also seen Kenzy and Devin a few times for bowling and mini golf! It has been so hot that it is hard to get outside! My feet are soooo swollen! If only we had a swimming pool....

Richmond Baby Shower

On June 13, Jenny threw a baby shower for some of our friends in Richmond. The invitation she made was darling!

For the shower, we met at Angel Nails in Smithfield for pedicures! Kamie, Jenny, Claire and I had a blast getting spoiled!

After pedicures we went over to Costa Vida for dinner! Kenzy met us there and we ate and opened some presents!

My ward here in Richmond also threw a baby shower for me! I didn't take any pictures, but it was so darling and so many people came to support us! It was so fun to talk with all the ladies in the ward and get to know them better. We are so lucky to live in such an amazing place with such amazing people!
