Memorial Day Weekend

We love Memorial Day Weekend, 

such a fun time to get together with friends and family.

Every year we go and visit Andy's older brother Matthew at East Lawn Cemetery in Provo on Sunday.

This year we weren't very smart and we planned a friends BBQ at our house on the same sunday, which meant we didn't get to go with the whole family. 

But we are very grateful that Kelly and Beverly wanted to make a quick visit up there with us.

While at East Lawn we also visit Travis Brinkerhoff, one of Andy's really good friends.

After the cemetery on Sunday, we headed back home to finish getting ready for our BBQ.

We had a great time with everyone and we can't wait to do another BBQ soon!

Thank you guys for coming!

Monday morning, we meet up in Salt Lake at my Grandpa Stallings' house.

We start out by helping him in the yard, then eating some breakfast.

After that, we head to the Wasatch Lawn Cemetery, to visit my Grandma.

Lots of people from my Stallings' side comes and we gather around my Grandma Barbara's headstone.

My grandpa will always tell us stories, or give us a "lecture" that we all love to hear!

We cut the grass around the grave, we washed the top off, and place flowers.

It's one of my favorite traditions.

Everyone that came this year.

We did a reenactment of an old old picture of us with Grandpa.

Andy took the boys around to look for their birthdays on the graves.

Hope you all had a great memorial weekend as well! Can't wait for next year, but for now...

Let summer begin!
