Colorado Shower

A group of friends from church had a baby shower for us. They made awesome plain food, just for me: grilled cheese, tomato soup, ants on a log (raisins in peanutbutter on celery), and even had a milk bar that you could mix in chocolate or strawberry. We got lots of great present including a diaper cake that our friend Amy made by hand! It has diapers all the way around each layer with lots of goodies tucked around. Our friend Kelly, who I have pushed into scrapbooking made pages for Tucker's book and each person wrote a little note on for him. I really liked Augie and Beckets, "Tucker! hurry! Let's play!" We played fun games like baby trivia, draw what Tucker will look like, the clothes pin game (with a twist) and even a daddy obstacle course. It was amazing how many Tucker's were born with a beard, inlcuding mine! Christine won that game, it's the first picture, but we also really liked Tim's "Tucker Spence: computer, Iowan, firefighter extraordinaire." For the clothes pin game: as we opened presents none of the girls could say "cute" or they lost their pin and the guys had to make some comment on every gift or they lost their pin. We got some interesting comments, but it made it really fun! The Now-Famous-Jeff-Cook-Daddy-Obstacle-Course starts with an embarassing story about Jeff. He got sick one day while he was home by himself with both boys, and Augie was being ornery and Becket was fussy. Augie decided to throw the remote into the toilet under Jeff as he was getting sick. Jeff tried to save the remote while holding Becket and poo went everywhere. When Kelly got home, all 3 were sitting on the couch with no clothes on except a towel on Jeff and she was informed that she could not use the bathroom or even enter it that night! Eric made an obstacle course that started with a water balloon in their shorts. They had to run around carrying 2 "babies" (sleeping bags) while doing various chores around the back yard without making a mess with the balloon. It was Hilarious! Doyle did a great job taking care of the kids, but his balloon popped. A couple of the guys finished pretty well, and a couple dropped the kids numerous times!
