GREAT MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND

Kandice and I went out to Twin Falls to see Brian and Chelsie Saturday and Sunday. They wanted us to come out there to take some photos of them for their engagement and some of Chelsie in her wedding gown. The campus at CSI where Chelsie goes to school is absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It is designed in a circle with the most beautiful grounds in the center. We got some great pics and had a TON of laughs.



Brian is so hilarious and such a good sport. He trudged around with us three girls for most of the day and still had a sense of humor and kept us laughing. We got some great pictures of the two of them and beautiful photos of the beautiful bride.


After we walked miles and miles around the campus, we went to the falls. I had no idea that there were so many beautiful water falls in that area. All I knew was that they are all in the huge gorge that I always want to close my eyes when we cross over the bridge to get into Twin Falls as I am TERRIFIED of heights. The Shoshone Falls were flowing full force because of spring runoff and they were absolutely amazing. The weather cooperated and was sunny and beautiful and we didn't even have any wind, which is unusual for Twin Falls.





After dragging poor Brian around with us for most of the day, we got Chelsie all dressed in her bridal gown and headed back to the campus for more photos. She looks so pretty in her dress and I got all teary eyed when I saw her as a bride. She is my baby and it is kind of sad to think that the kids are all grown up and soon all will be married. We sure do love our kids-in-law though!


We got some really beautiful pics but can't post any here as I am afraid Brian will snoop!


After we were exhausted and sunburned, we went to the mall to look at dresses for me and then out to dinner at Applebee's and had great conversation, food and laughed and laughed. We all decided that we needed to order dessert and Kandice and I ordered the "Mile High Ice Cream Pie". Our jaws dropped and our eyes bugged out of our heads when the waitress brought it to the table. HOLY COW!! It was the biggest and tallest piece of pie I have ever seen! We had a hard time finishing it, but it sure was yummy!

Sunday morning, Mother's Day, Chelsie and Brian cooked us a yummy breakfast of french toast, bacon and hash browns and Kandice, Chelsie and I headed to Target to look for some different bride's maid dresses. Since we bought the dresses in March, Brit learned that she was pregnant and the dresses we had bought originally weren't for pregnant bellies, so we needed to find different ones. We found the ones we had found on the Internet the night before. They had all the right sizes and we were so happy to have found them so fast!



Then Kandice and I headed home. It always seems to be such a short drive to get to Twin Falls, but such a long drive to get back home.

We sure did have a fun weekend though and I am so glad that we went out there. Kandice had never been to Twin before and hadn't seen where Chels goes to school or lives.


After we got home, Glen and I went down to Jade and Brit's to celebrate Mother's Day with them after Jade got off work. We had a nice visit with them and a yummy dinner and pie and played with Branson. It was her FIRST Mother's Day! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY Brit!

There is no greater joy than being a mother and I am truly blessed with such great kids and kids-in-law. I absolutely don't know what I would do without my kids in my life and am so lucky that I get to spend time with them on a regular basis and we have good relationships with all of them! LOVE YOU GUYS!
