May was not less intense than April (my fault I started a new project--Dollhouse), but it has been a month full of good things. The one not good thing is that Weston left to do summer sales in Springfield Missouri. It's been had to see what he has to put up with out there and we've missed him on things like mother's day, Sav's birthday and my birthday. Instead of buying a couple plane tickets to go visit him for his birthday in June, we decided a better use of the money would be to get him a nice scooter so he can access more people for potential sales. Hope he earns enough to make the sacrifice worth his while.
Jared and I took my parents down to St George the first weekend in May to see our nephew Trevan play head gypsie in "Hunchback of Notre Dame." Heidi made a very fun time of it for us--homemade sourdough pizza, swimming, foursquare, and a 90 minute class at Orange Theory!!! We also got to go out to eat with Heidi and Gabe and Heidi gave me an early birthday gift! We loved spending time with her and her family in St George.
We did an impromptu horseride with my cousin Shanna and her two kids who own horses up past Curly Springs. It was a beautiful spring day and I really enjoy having any time with my cousin Shanna Whitely Hunt. Jared did an impromptu camp out with Aaron and the horses on a different weekend (whew, a night to work on the dollhouse), I'm glad he is getting our horses out so often!
Fiora and her boyfriend David joined us for mother's day and my birthday which made me feel so loved and happy! Fiora was so sweet and bought me a permanent bracelet for Mother's day and for Savanna too. Mother's day was rough because Jared and Savanna were sick, but having Fiora with us made the day special. I got sick the next week and took three days off work. Didn't even work on the dollhouse I was that out of it. Bleh.
I probably should have done a separate post for the Juliet pictures, we are a little obsessed with our granddaughter. I try to visit her at least once a week and they come for Sunday dinner, love my baby time! She was sleep trained this month and although it broke my heart that she cried for so long the first night, but she is doing so much better now at sleeping through the night and all that beauty rest is making her grow like crazy, and she's cuter by the day!
My sister Kynsie had a baby on May 2, Elsie Ryn Raymond. Jaren and Kynsie are proud and happy parents. She is a tiny little 6 pound baby angel. We are very happy for them.
Savanna turned 24 on the 17th and we took her out to brunch at Sunday's Best. I babysat Juliet overnight so Savanna could get a good night's rest for her birthday and then babysat again so Mckay could take her to a show later that day. We love Savanna and low seeing what a good mom she is to Jellybean.
I turned 47 on the 26th and shared my birthday with Memorial day. Which means I had the day off work and Jared and I got to play all the day long. We worked out, went to the farm, took a 13 mile bike ride down to the lake, stopped by the cemetery to pay respects to Jareds parents, my grand parents, and our baby Lillian, then Savanna made us amazing brunch of eggs benedict, which was so good! Savanna bought me some miniature porceline dolls for my birthday, and Fiora bought me a miniature sunflowers. Jared got me a ebike! Totally spoiled. I got a nap and a bath, and to end the day we were able to meet some of the Barretts in the canyons (thanks Alan dad for finding us a spot) for some potluck dinner. Jared smoked some porkloins and Savanna made me blueberry pie. I blew out all 47 candles! It very perfect day. Fiora and I got to get a treat the day after my birthday and I love any chance I get to spend with her. And many other friends (Shannon Young, Cami Turpin, Shawna-Amy-Kim-Wendy) took me out to dinner or bought me gifts or gave me cards, I felt very loved this year! Thank you to everyone who sent me well wishes and love, hope you know I love all of you.
I know I'm doing this post a day before May ends but I think I better before something else happens I have to document! May was full as full can be. Good thing work at the MTC was slow so I could recover there, haha!
