Such nice people) we had a great shower. I wasn't able to be there because we had already moved to go to school but they video taped the whole thing. Tyson's parents brought the video tape and gifts with them when they came to visit. So nice huh?

16. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW?Again, a little fuzzy. I blame that on being a mom.
