My Dad had a quick business trip to SLC on Friday, Feb. 6th. I took the day off work and planned to spend it with my mommi-o. Mom doesn't usually come with Dad on these quick trips so I was thrilled when she said that she'd be tagging along. Mom was surprised that I was so excited for her to come, I typically freak out about cleaning when I know she's coming. (Like she's bringing a white glove and a camera crew to expose me for the fraud of a homemaker that I am.)People, the trick is just to keep the rooms clean that visitors are likely to see. I can keep a living room tidy, and the bathroom clean. My mother-in-law has taken it upon herself to clean my kitchen floor daily, so I was all set for my mom to come. There would be no reason she'd have to see my bedroom, right?
Mom came to Utah with just two things on her To-Do list. 1. Visit with Karen 2. Go to Taco Time for Crispy Bean Burritos. Grandiose goals don't you think? I'm happy to report that she accomplished both.
Dad got done with his job early and we were all able to go see the Elk at HardWare Ranch near Logan. It was super fun! I think the other folks on our wagon were a little put out with how many questions and comments my parents had for the sleigh driver. They spent 20 minutes talking about the kind of hay the elk were fed and how it differs from the hay that we feed our llamas, etc.
We ended the day perfectly by eating dinner at Maddox. Fresh baked rolls and Raspberry Honeybutter. Can you say YUM?? We had a wonderful time together and I looked forward to spending more time with them on Saturday. The plan was for M & D to come down to Springville and spend time with my family, and my niece Caitlin and her fiance, Morgan. Mom showed up with at my house sick as a dog, with a high fever and severe nausea. So guess what she wanted to do? Lay down on my bed. IN MY BEDROOM? ACK!!! I made her put on a blindfold first and then guided her through the piles of clothes and books and games and musical instruments. She said that it was just like I was 14 again. Only this time she can't ground me.

Sounds like you had a nice time with Mom and Dad! Those pictures are great!! Sorry that Mom got the flu ... dang it. Can we go to that restaurant? It sounds awesome.

Fun, your parents look great Karen. I laughed at your description of your bedroom because it totally brought me back to your bedroom when we were teens - remember that waterbed?
