My mom came to visit us last week and we had a blast! It was so fun spending time with her. I did her hair at the old salon and when I was almost finished putting the foils in, I saw a huge cockroach from the corner of my eye....I looked down, screamed and ran out of the room....leaving my Mom in the chair totally confused. She's brave, unlike me. She got some spray and was ready to kill it but we couldn't find it. So after we washed her hair out we went back to the room to cut it and as i moved the garbage can the giant cockroach ran out from under it. My mom sprayed the crap out of it until it slowed down, swept it up, put it outside and hit it with a broom a few times and called it good. When I had finished her hair we headed out and lo and behold...the cockroach was gone! It had survived all that torture! I hate cockraoches...I've only seek like 3 since we've been here and 2 were dead, but I have a feeling I'm never going to get used to them. I can't kill anything that crunches...NASTY!!!

Anyways...My Mom bought us some plants and flowers and we did some gardening. we bought some plants to cover the hitch in the front of our house...I know it sounds totoally white trash, but I love it...not the hitch, but our home! :) I'm excited for the plants to grow big so you can't see the hitch anymore!!! :) We also went to the Blue Bell ice cream facotry which is an hour away. We showed up and the tour was totally sold out so we watched the video tour and ate a bunch of ice cream...it was delicious and we got some cute pictures! We made lasagna, apple crisp and some yummy avocado dip for quesadillas and ate at Blue Bakers...which is amazing. We woke mom up at 6:30 so she could experience Shipleys Doughnuts...and although she thought we were crazy...I think she realized after having the fresh 6:30 a.m. doughnuts...that it was totally worth it! :) MMM MMM MMMM!!! My Mom is amazing...I love her more and more the older I get. We saw a jacket thing from Miley Cyrus's clothing line and my Mom and Bryce said it was cute...so I tried it on, even though it's WAY too stylish for me and realized they didn't have it in my size. So when my mom went home and saw it on clearance and in my size in Redding, she bought it for me...she's so thoughtful like that! I love her. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful family. Thanks for visiting mom....we really loved having you in our little home.
