TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE FLOWERS


A forgotten tradition... But not so forgotten...  I remember my grandmother creating May Day baskets full of flowers (and goodies) and delivering them to us on the first of May.  As I grew older, I got to help create and deliver the gifts.  So, naturally, I shared this practice with my daughters.  They love it!

Imagine my joy (and surprise) when Kiara and I sent Katia flowers at BYUI and she sent flowers to us!

Katia took the original pic.
We all recreated it.
Who did it best?  JK

Ready to deliver our May Day flowers...
We love this holiday!

Our joy didn't just stop with our family.  Kiara and I delivered roses to some of the people we love most dearly!  

Happy May Day!

And guess what?!  That wasn't the only excitement on May 1st this year.  Medina Spirit won the Kentucky Derby.  Skittles love watching the "horsies!"  He was also in awe as he observed mommy, grandma and grandpa yelling "RUN!  GO!" at the TV for 2 minutes.  We drank virgin mint julips, thanks to Kiara.

Scott and I went to the movies with our YSAs.
We watched Secretariat.  How appropriate!

Katia is thriving at school!  She loves learning.  I'm so proud of her.

And I have to add some adorable miscellaneous pics:

We all are wearing my favorite color!
Rejoicing in the little things this Sabbath Day!
