Memorial Day weekend was a blast. We had three days' worth of celebrations - 2 birthdays and of course, the memorial holiday. Chad and Megan drove down from Provo -- it was a nice surprise and nice weather for them to come home to also -- the weather was pretty tame! Reminded me of when Kevin would spontaneously decide to drive us all down here without telling anyone when we lived in Utah and New Mexico. So I said to Chad "you pulled a Kevin!". Those two aren't much different. Hopefully Chad doesn't start to have an attachment to Utah like Kevin does.
57 and looking good! Cake was yum-o!
These 3 will get to be in the same grade for school
Monday afternoon we met up again at the cemetery for the annual family memorial to honor Kevin's ancestors - his grandpa served in the Air Force, and others who were pioneers. It is a wonderful opportunity for all the kids and us to learn more about their great heritage - and Jack, Kevin's dad takes time to share stories of ancestors so they are more real than just names. This year we even got to hear the story of someone who died in the Titanic. We also got to see pictures of Granny (Naomi Ellsworth Harris)'s family. Then it was dinner at our favorite Mexican place, Someburros. It was a fun day to spend with everyone.

Last year, on Memorial Day, I think we just barely found out I was pregnant. And now he's 5 months old!
