baby shower and farewell in Riverton

I love Riverton, Wyoming.  I love the people, the small town feel, our house (the Peden's home), the numerous city family-oriented activities, my in-laws, my friends... Before we moved a few friends threw me a baby shower.  I didn't get a picture of Cindy McDonald but she and Jessica Overy hosted it.  We played fun games, ate yummy food, visited, and I enjoyed some very thoughtful and kind gifts.  
 Joel was colicky for the first few months of life so I held on my lap for most of the shower and rocked him while the laddies looked on admiring him.   We played 3 different games.  The first was a blindfolded pick the safety pins out of rice bowl game.  I wasn't good at that.  The next was a see who can dress the baby doll the fastest with thick gloves.  I was really good at that.  Then everyone drew a picture of a baby while holding the paper and pen on their heads.  I had to pick the baby I thought looked the best.  That was a good laugh.  


I feel really blessed to have had the opportunity to live in Riverton.  Like I said, we met some WONDERFUL people and I made lasting friendships.  I have never felt so comfortable in my own skin as I did in Riverton.  Hopefully I can carry that with me to Spanish Fork. Thank you all Riverton buddies for making our year and a half so AWESOME!
