Memorial Day

After our not so good start to the weekend, we actually had a good Memorial Day! It was rainy and cold, but not too cold. Drew was excited to wear his rain jacket and rain boots to Grandpa's grave. We stopped by the store and got a huge pinwheel and flowers for Grandpa. Drew thought that Grandpa was going to be surprised when he saw it. He still doesnt grasp the idea of Grandpa being in Heaven with Jesus and that just his body is in the ground. He thinks that he is driving around in an orange, glow in the dark car somewhere in Salt Lake.
Austin had a good time as well. He decided that was where he would stand up and take his first steps. Right on Grandpa's grave! We decided that Grandpa was understanding my frustrations with Austin not walking that he just wanted to help.
We went back to Grandma's house for lunch and later that night we went to a movie, Iron Man. I really didnt know much about it, but Geneal said it was good so I took her word for it. It was! It was nice to get out without the boys for once.
Im glad that our weekend ended on a good note! I wouldnt ask for another awful one like that again!

All of the kids at the grave. Minus Craig's of course! And Steph's kids. (Thanks for noticing, Corrie!) (That makes up for alot!)

Our big, huge pinwheel.
