Memorial Day Goodness

 We piled into my mom's car for our trip out to the Herriman Cemetery.

The flags are my favorite thing to see and it's always windy out there so they are always flying.

Flower wrangling.

 My mom's parents' grave.

Family shot by Lori.

My dad met up with us for lunch at Astro Burger (so tasty) and then we all went to the movies.

Landon snapped some selfies on my phone.

14 thumbs up!

Spring Revelry

I took myself to Thanksgiving Point on Tuesday (after having lunch with Amie) for four hours of strolling in the Spring sunshine and taking over 600 photos! Taking photos of flowers is one of my favorite things to do so it was an excellent outing for me and I thoroughly enjoyed being alone so that I didn't have to worry about anyone being bugged by my frequent stops. I wandered around and soaked it all up, plus hardly anyone was there so it felt like I had the place to myself.

Which photo is your favorite?

Mother's Day Weekend

On Saturday evening we gathered at Lori's house (hence JoJo is in this picture) to celebrate with our mom.

We had shredded pork sandwiches, fruit, salad, chips and queso and Carmelitas for dessert.

Landon did homework upstairs and Whitney and the Maher girls played a game downstairs (Robyn's kids weren't there).

Robyn and her boyfriend came a little late, but her kids were with Jared.

Adam and Amy's girls all made cards for my mom, which was mighty sweet.

My mom cried when she opened the card I made for her (victory is mine).

Here's a better look.

After church on Sunday we braved the cold wind to take our traditional Mother's Day photos. Landon had already changed out of his church clothes so I had him put his shirt and tie back on, and I put on flip flops (I didn't wear those to church).

It is super difficult to get any sort of decent photo because of all the silliness involved.

More weirdness.

Can you see that Whitney is pretending to lick me, ew.

Pretty much we end up with a shot like this.

Landon grabbed my phone and took a bunch of pictures of the two of us, this is my best angle.

Things came to a screeching halt when we went inside and Whitney had me read this poem she wrote for me out loud. I know she was going for funny, but it pretty much crushed my soul. I ended up crying for a little while and then took a long nap. I'm not a fan of Mother's Day because there's just too much emotion going on for me.

Landon made me this Jimmy Fallon-theme card and wrote a bunch of thank yous to be read like Jimmy reads his thank you notes on the show.
