St. George

We just got back from a fabulous trip to St. George. We went to celebrate my grandma's 82nd birthday. Her birthday just happens to be on Valentine's Day. That holiday represents her so well. She is the kindest, most loving person I know. We enjoyed being with her on her special day.

HapPy BIrThdAy GraNDma!

When you have a Valentine birthday, you get Valentine cupcakes!

My grandpa lives in an assisted living. He cracks me up and we love him so much. He pretty much is...well old, and doesn't even remember who I am anymore. We went to the Chuck-a-rama (always a St. George treat!). I sat next to him, and he leaned over to my grandma and said, "who is that lady sitting next to me". He was serious, but it made me laugh. We went to the park. (Sorry Haley, we went at the last minute or I would have called)Even I joined in the fun.Went out to eat with our great friends from Cleveland.Swam in Omi's pool.
Played in my mom's hot tub.And tortured my mom's cat. Seriously, this poor cat was mauled all weekend long, but I think he likes it. My kids love this cat. I don't even know it's real name, but my kids call him meow meow (original.)
It really was a nice get away. The weather was great, family and friends to be with, and great food.
