OUR DEVIOUS DAY FOR DEEDRA! WELL, SNEAKY MIGHT BE A BETTER WORD!!

OK, so most of you know that we were contacted about a "Surprise Party" for Deedra by the Young Women's President. In the beginning, we were under the impression that is was a "Birthday Party" . Tammy was trying to figure out how to keep Deedra at the house so the President could come pick her up at home at a specific time. We told Tamara that we would make arrangements to go over to her house and she would be under the assumption that we were there to visit and fix the bassinet! All the rest of the family was to go to Deedra's ward at 6:45 to be ready for the BIG SURPRISE! Then the president was to pick up Deedra at 6:45. Well, Sunday, when we actually did hold the "Semi Surprise" party for her at her house, Tammy comes with the revelation that the Young Women's party was actually going to be a "SURPRISE BABY SHOWER"......all plans have changed now due the the fact that Michelle is throwing her a shower this Saturday, which we are all invited to. OK, we (Tony and I) are still the rue for the young women's plan so we go to Deedra's last night and Tony actually fixes the bassinet. I play with the kids and make small talk with Deedra.
Nikki, shows me her new play dress that a friend gave her. I really don't know where she picked up this pose but it actually looked pretty good with the dress!
Our little "Budda?" LOL She can be hilarious!

Garrett doesn't want to be left out so he poses for picture after picture, grins and says "cheese" over and over...............

And over and over..........................................................................

So much so that we find him in his room with his toy camera trying to take his own picture and saying.........you guessed it! CHEESE!!!! Way cute!


By 5 to 7, I'm beginning to wonder when the Young Women are going to come and pick up Deedra?? Is it still a go? Did we get our wires crossed? We were puttering around in the new addition and Deedra is telling me how excited she is to watch the new season of "LOST" which starts at 7 PM !!

YIKES! (IN 5 MINUTES!!!) so I excuse myself and say I have to use the can. I go to the bathroom and call Tammy and say "What's going on? Are they still doing this? Deedra wants to watch LOST! Tammy assures me that they just left the church to go pick her up. Soon the door bell rings, Deedra goes to answer the door. Soon she comes back and says "Are you here to watch my kids?" We play dumb (something we are VERY GOOD at) and say "What?" She explains that someone is there to pick her up to take her somewhere.....we go into the living room . After getting a story from the Young Women's President, I tell Deedra that I will take the kids to my house. "Give me your Van keys, I have no car seats." They proceed to blindfold her and I load the kids up, Tony goes home and all systems go!

I think she was wise to what was going on by now but it was fun to follow her to the church and partake with the girls and their leaders. They had some good eats!

The whole lot of us SNEAKY WOMEN and Deedra!

She got some really nice gifts !

Jack Jack will be well taken care of!

It was fun and that is one happy little mother! It was a fun evening and I was happy to be a part of it! Sorry you missed LOST! Was it worth it?
