Memorial Weekend

Memorial weekend didn't start off very fun this year. We got a phone call saying that my Cousin Jeff had passed away in a work related accident. We had plans to go to my parents condo so I just grabbed some funeral worthy outfits for everyone and away we went.

Before heading up the mountain to the condo we stopped at my Aunt Margaret and Uncle Jimmy's house (Jeff's parents, My Dads sister). Chance was there and my kids were so excited to see him. They also love the horse tire swing.

Although it was cold we took the kids fishing. They caught so many fish. Tyler would be taking a fish off of Britton's hook and Shayna would catch one and then vise verse. Tyler was very busy!



Apparently Ty's pants couldn't take all the squatting that comes with fishing.

In Tyler's defense these pants were getting thin. Don't worry Ty, your not fat!

Shayna loved the worm's, she loves anything that crawls and slithers (she must not be mine), She thought it was great that they would keep moving even after being torn in half. Gross I know, I just got the chills typing it.

We were hoping for some warmer weather so we took the kids out on the desert for a picnic, it was still cold and very windy. But the fire was a success and we all enjoyed spending time together.

My kids absolutely fell in love with Debbi. When we found out about Jeff she flew in to town so she could go to the funeral. She rode down to the condo with us and was able to spend the whole weekend with us. Debbi was pulled into two different directions all weekend. Both of my kids wanted all of her attention. Thanks for being such a trooper Debbi. We love you!!

The best part of the weekend was the tricycle races. Debbi keep an eye out for your video, I've got to get you a copy. You really should consider Americas funniest home videos.

This squirrel was right out side of the condo all weekend. Britton and Shayna love to give him peanuts. If he is smart about food storage he should already be set for the winter.



Jeff's funeral was Tuesday so not a very fun ending to the weekend, but all in all we had a great time.

Jeff I never thought I would say this, but I am really going to miss the whisker burns. Love you!
