May: Weekend #2 (Mother's Day + Family Pics)

Another weekend has flown by. This time Drew and I left St. George a little early to get to Cedar before his mom got home. We surprised her by cleaning her house for her! The gift of service is pretty great I'd say. It leaves you AND the receiver feeling happy!
Saturday was our annual Mother's Day service day at Grandma Carol's house. It was a fantastic day! And it was Drew's first time too. A bunch of our family from my Dad's side of the family showed up and we all worked around the home and in the yard. We planted flowers, washed windows, and pruned trees and much much more. We ate some yummy food topped off with Grandma Carol's famous fudge jumbles and sugar cookies-- so good!
The next day was Sunday, Mother's day. We made my mom a bouquet of all of our hands and got her some plants to put in her pots on her front porch. It made her happy :)

We went to Grandma Micki's house for a sandwich before going to church. Drew and I gave her a big box of junior mints and a note that said, "you were 'MINT' to have a wonderful Mother's Day!" haha.. we're so clever.
Later that day we had family pictures. Grandma Micki's entire posterity was here for this great event and the weather just so happened to be crappy. However! It cleared up for us right as we got our pictures taken and the sun came out. You would never be able to tell that just hours earlier it was snowing/raining huh?!

We were so blessed. Prayer really does work.
After pictures we stopped by Grandma Carol's to say goodbye to her and Grandpa June before heading back to St. George. Drew and I gave her some V8 juice with the saying "Happy Mother's Day! We love you 'berry' much!"
<Grandma Carol's bathroom wallpaper is wonderful.>
We stopped in Cedar on the way home to visit Drew's mom to wish her a happy Mother's day. We gave her a spearmint plant with a cute pot because she loves to put mint in her water and stuff!
So that was our second weekend in Richfield for the month of May and it was wonderful to celebrate all the moms and mom figures in our lives. 
Love,
Kate
