We had a busy Memorial Day that started on Sunday. We went to visit Grace's grave that evening. We were lucky enough to run into Kirsten & Matt and Landon there too. Kirsten was sweet and made Muddy Buddies for Grace. That was one of her favorite treats. I remember how much she use love them.
The kids got to play with Landon. My kids LOVE HIM!!!! And for the record, so do Matt and I ;)
Madden had a great time running around and trying to name all the letters on the headstones. He's really into saying and recognizing letters and asking how to spell different words.
On Monday we made a trip up to Garland to visit Justin's grave. It's hard to believe he's been gone for 3 years.
The kids had fun running around this cemetery too and all of them tried to climb the trees.
On the way home from Garland we stopped in Willard to see Matt's grandparents' grave. Madden had to use the bathroom so our visit to this cemetery was short lived.
Then it was home to a bbq at Celeste and Shaun's neighbors. They're nice enough to ask us to join them now and again when they smoke some kind of yummy meat. This time it was turkey. It was really good.
After that we headed to my parents with the plan to visit my grandparents graves. We ended up staying to play at Mom and Dad's and helping pick up LOTS of branches in the yard from Dad and Russ cutting limbs down. Boy were there a ton of branches and twigs but there were a lot of us too so it made for a fairly quick job.
We never did make it to the other cemetery's. We'll make that a priority to get over there very soon.

That picture of Madden crawling around to look at the letters reminds me of how Landon moves. So funny! I love that little L takes after him in his locomotion it is so funny!
Thanks for posting the pictures. I wasn't able to make it out to Gracie's grave.
I love that picture of Mason and Landon together. It is so cute! Seriously your kids are getting so big I can't even believe it.
