Memorial Fun!

I am so grateful for my freedom! And I do know the Price!

So, how many of you made it to a Memorial Day service? That night I was watching the news, and they had a veteran on, he said that anymore the only people that go and observe are the veterans. Wow, what a wake up call. On our way home that day, Braedon asked what Memorial day was for, we explained that it was a day to remember all those who had died. I tried to go a little deeper and told him about the people who had died in wars, have served and are now serving. Too all soldiers I say THANK YOU! I was adopted into this country and am forever grateful for the those who have given their lives or are now putting theirs in danger, so that I can have a happy and safe one.

I love to camp with my family! We have fun, I think. Of course it being memorial day, I can't help but remember my dad, and how special these trips were to him. He loved the outdoors. Thank you mom for going through all the hard work still. I do know how important time with family is to you. It is for me as well, because of you!

Oak City Canyon looked so green and beautiful this year. Of course it
sprinkled almost the whole time we were up there. You can tell how much
sleep I didn't get by the bags under my eyes.

I can't believe how big my baby girl is getting.

We tried something new this year called Geocaching. I don't know how many of you know about this. Marg thought it would be fun, and it was. We found two, and hid one. You go online, print coordinates, and with a GPS go hunting for them. They are all over. It was fun!
I hope we can all remember all those who made it possible for us to be free to do all these things.

Happy 8th B-Day Braedon!!!

Our little boy is growing up so fast all of a sudden. He was so little for so long. It's hard to believe he was ever just short of 4lbs. I sure miss my baby boy, but am enjoying watching my smart, handsome young man. We are so proud of him. He is doing so well in school and piano, and loves all sports. Our house is the neighborhood gathering place for all of the kids in the picture. Braedons just a cute kid to be around he loves all of his friends and cousin Haydon. We love you Braedon!!!

I know the birthday cake is not the best looking one, but we decided to spend money on stuff that would last longer (new bike), and it was still yummy! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa, Grama Berta, and aunt Marlene for all the gifts. You are all so amazing! And we love you.

You can tell how much fun they had by the look on Kambries face.

I know this picture is old, nobody else has seen but us. This is his Tom Cruise pose. Kids really do the funniest things!

P.S.
I just wanted to cry the whole time I did this post!
