Family filled weekend

Last weekend with my mom was so fun! But of course it had to come to an end all too soon. Monday morning I took her back to the itty bitty airport and she was on her way. But to think that the next I see her will be when I'm having a baby! I guess I can hold off a few more weeks. 

On Friday my mom spent most of the day with my aunt Juliana who lives about a half hour from here. David's cousin was going through the temple for the first time in Salt Lake so we made our trek up there and barely made it by the time we found a parking spot. It is madness in the city! It of course was a good experience being in the temple with a lot of David's family but it was even cooler having experienced a live session! I didn't know that was a thing. But it was neat.

I was a little disappointed by the guy we asked to take our picture. He totally cut off Moroni on the close up!!? Luckily, he got one far out too so I guess I'll have to deal.

It's just beautiful though isn't it?

Following the temple, we got a quick bite to eat and then headed to another one of David's cousins' wedding bash.  She wasn't getting married for another couple weeks or so but I guess they have so much family here in Utah that wouldn't have been able to attend the wedding so they wanted to have a little luncheon type thing for them (and us of course Ü).  It was fun! I met alot of David's cousins and family that I hadn't met before. His sister Caitlin and her family from Idaho came down for it as well so it was nice getting to spend a little time with them as well. She has the cutest girls ever that just sit and behave perfectly. Even when I am trimming their hair! They say the cutest things and I love that they call me Aunt Cassie. My others nieces and nephews are just learning to talk and my name so they aren't to the "aunt" part quite yet.

A lot of the time spent together while mom was here (mostly while David worked) was sew! I've had a sewing machine for lots of years now but I've never really used it or really known how. So, my mom and I went to the craft store, picked out some flannel fabric and came home and made some burp cloths and blankets for the Little Mister! It was so fun and exciting. Granted they're just square blankets that I hemmed. And all I really did was sew a straight line, but I'm so glad that I did. At least I feel comfortable doing that now. This baby is going to be the best wrapped and best burped baby in all the land! Mom picked out a fabric that says "I love grandma!" We didn't even get the one that says "I love Mommy and Daddy!" 

"It's more important," she said. So there we go. 

See that? I even rounded the corners!

Now I just need to be confident and make something else. Probably the hardest part for me in actually buckling down and sewing something is picking out the material though! Theres sooo many cute things out there, who knew?

It was a jam packed weekend but it was AWESOME.
