Mother's Day 2010

So below are some of the pictures from Mother's Day. The whole family went to Austin, TX this year to see Andrew Keenan get blessed. It's the first grandkid in our family and it was also the first time any of the family, except Steve and Mom, have met him. Can I just say that he has got to be the cutest kid ever? I know you're all out there thinking that can't be true, but really he is! I'm saying this as a totally unbiased judge also. He's just so stinking cute and skinny!

Anyways, I drove down with mom, dad, grams and Brittany and the drive was killer! In the end it was totally worth it, but we left Mesa at 8am Thursday and got to Austin and 3ish Am Friday! It was a long day. But at 8am I got woken up when Mhari let the dogs out, but I got to meet my nephew so I forgave her and let the little guy steal my heart! Friday night I went with James to pick up Kiersty and Seth from the airport and that was quite an experience! At the Austin airport there are no waiting zones like they have in Phoenix and the guards there are strict! We circled the airport like 4 times, spent some quality time at the Shell gas station- where James broke the toilet....- and got yelled at by a guard to keep moving! Saturday Mhari had a BBQ planned to celebrate Andrew's blessing and so we got to meet some of her friends from the ward and such and see some old friends of ours from Lubbock. It was fun although the weather didn't cooperate with us very well. Sunday, Andrew got blessed and we saw some more friends from Lubbock and then went home and celebrated Mother's day with an awesome dinner and good company! Mom, dad, grams and I had to leave real early Monday morning. That was a pretty sad day. Kalli and Kiersty were staying til Wednesday and Brittany is living in Austin this summer so I missed some more quality time with the sisters but enjoyed the ride home with mom, dad and grams. I've gotta say that I slept a ton on the ride back. I guess the weekend just wore me out!

Now I can't wait for Christmas when we'll all be back together again and celebrating in Utah this year! I can't believe by then, Andrew will be a year old. He's not my son but I can seen how parents say time just flies!
