memorial day '10


memorial day is the official kick off of summer and i have never been more ready. this drab weather we have been having is enough to make me vomit. plus, greta has some really amazing clothes that need to be worn.


as usual we went with my family to provo to visit my grandpa and uncles grave sites. i have to admit that the more i visit provo the the less i hate it. its kind of charming... no?

i know its is kind of a 'no-no' to stand on graves but i think my grandpa glen would be proud to have greta sitting on his. i know that they were near and dear in heaven.

my dad... precious and i love his shirt that he has worn since 1980.

senor.
xo

jude and mins ran around like the crazies they are.
p.s. mini boden NEVER disappoints.

skinny bitch.
and i can say that because

a. she is my sister
b. i have had a potty mouth since the beginning of time
c. she is.
d. she looks amazing.

after the grave site visits we all headed back to nannie's to prepare our memorial day feast and a feast it was. the best part of all is that my brother bryce and his family were here. they have not been here in 2 years and it was so nice to be with my family. although we were missing 3 and 6, it was still nice to have my biggest brother around. in fact, i may or may not have lost my job over staying down at my parents instead of going into work. i won't regret it though, the laughter was well worth it.

while the men played croquet, the women (and lee) all sat around gossiping and the children followed around their new found heroes miranda and asher. greta was sick for most of the night but perked up just enough to jump on the tramp for a few hours.

miranda is the GREATEST 14 year old you will ever meet.
i adore her and so do all her cousins.


you won't see much of jude while asher is around because jude is busy chasing him around trying to get him to play with him. poor jude never has any boys to play with and he lurves his boy cousins to death.


i am glad that memorial day was good.
i think it means it will be a good summer.
