A Mom-velous Weekend

Why is it that I'm always writing about the last weekend as the new one is approaching? Anywho, last weekend my mom came down for a visit! She got in on Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday afternoon. It was so wonderful to have her down!

When she got here on Friday, we gave her another tour of the house, since the last one she got was a while ago. And by a while, I mean, none-of-our-stuff-was-moved-in-and-we-were-removing-wallpaper while. Then we relaxed and let her and Yale reminisce and make new memories. It's so cute to see Yale with my mom. You can tell how much he loves her. He hadn't seen her since Courtney's wedding, but as soon as she walked in the door, he looked at her and started crawling to her as fast as his little legs would take him. It was adorable. And you can tell how much my mom loves him. Seriously. She kept reminding us the whole weekend. And even after she left. That's a good thing.

So anyway, we hung out and relaxed a little. Then my mom and I headed out to my aunt's house for our girls night. We had some delish dinner and then went to see Thriller at Tuacahn (a Halloween dance concert). It's just like the one up in SLC, but the theater is much cooler, because it's outside. Of course, that means it was colder. But we snuggled up under blankets and had our hot cocoas. It was wonderful, as always.

Saturday was another low key day. We went onto campus so my mom could see Lish's office. We walked around campus and got the grand tour there. My mom hadn't been on Dixie's campus before, so that was nice. Plus, it was a beautiful day! When we got home, Lish and I got ready for a little "date" and my mom watched Yale. Lish and I went to the temple because we don't get to go as often. And my mom and Yale snuggled while he took a nap. We got home and picked up my mom and Yale and went out for dinner. That night my mom and I stayed up late talking, which was really nice, until I didn't get as long of a nap as I wanted the next day. Still worth it though.

On Sunday, Lish and I both spoke in church, so my mom watched Yale for us. He was really good for her too, which was great! Then my mom headed out after that meeting so she could get back home before it was too late. I love having family come visit us! And my mom is such easy company. Of course I didn't take any pictures, but she is coming down again for Thanksgiving, so I will definitely get some then!

Thanks for such a great weekend Mom! We love you!
