Mothers
Abundant in their love for
You, and always there to help
My Mom & Dad came up from St George on Thursday and so we planned a get-together for Ty's birthday and Mom's day on Friday.
My Mom & Dad came up from St George on Thursday and so we planned a get-together for Ty's birthday and Mom's day on Friday.
We went to Scera park- a beautiful park in Orem by the Scera Theater. We have so many memories of that place- a few random ones that come to mind are-
I took the kids to the Utah symphony at the ampitheater one summer, many moons ago- Tyler was only 2 and LOVED the 1812 overture and kept humming the tune all the way home and then, imitating the cannon part, would say "boom."
One of Tom & mine first dates. We went and saw the Smothers Brothers there- they were hilarious! At intermission, we got an autographed picture of us with Dick Smothers- which to my shock, Tom had somehow gotten to him and told him to give me a kiss on the cheek! So when I asked for his autograph I got a bit more. And I think somewhere there is a picture of me getting kissed with a totally shocked expression on my face! I remeber he talked with us and loved the fact that our names were "Tom & Jerri."

The indoor movie theater has a balconey with seats for two- so you can actually sit together with your date- very fun!
Anyway... we had a great time- I received some really nice gifts and cards- my kids (and their spouses) are terrific! They are so thoughtful and make me feel very loved and appreciated!

A shout out to all the Mothers in our family- daughters, daughters-in-law, mothers-in-law, Grandmas, Aunts, etc. and my Mom- you all continue to be an inspiration and an example to me!
The little kiddies on the blanket- Kaylee is a Mother-hen to be! She's just as cute as can be with her younger cousins- she'll LOVE having her new baby sister when she comes. Okay- here are their ages: Kaylee 16 months, Jensen & Brad 9 1/2 months- Go figure...
Jensen and Bradley get their first time on a swing. They were a bit unsure at first but they really enjoyed it. And what great little guys- 1 1/2 hours playing quietly on their blanket with a few toys while we all visited- truly amazing- they must take after their mom- believe it or not Kelli was my QUIETEST child- would play for hours by herself.

Kaylee loved the swing. Could hardly get her to give it up- except the slide was so much fun. Even the first time when she went flying down because Kyle let her go and her Mom & Grandpa weren't ready to catch her. She landed hard but jumped up and wanted to go again. She may be a trapeze artist some day because she already "flies through the air with the greatest of ease..." and never cries when she lands.
Kyle gets an "underdog"
I had just taken Kelli's boys down the slide and Tom was taking our picture when all of a sudden Ryan sneeked around and came down the slide and crashed into us- laughing hysterically! He thought he was soooo funny! He did startle me. I'm not sure what was wrong with my camera- why all the pics have a bluish tint to them- but it makes no difference now- because... read the next post!
