Memorial Day

The Sunday before Memorial day has always been the same for me as long as I remember.  We get in the car and drive down to good ol' Payson, UT to visit the grave sites of my grandparents on my mom's side.  For years I dreaded it, but as years go on I'm learning to appreciate it more.  Last year we started doing a potluck of snacks at Barnett Elementary right by the cementary with all the cousins.  Good food and family always help me appreciate things more! (Just an FYI Barnett Elementary was named after my grandpa Owen Barnett.)  Long story short it was a fun day.  Awesome grandma came with...which always makes things more fun!  Sam lost a tooth there and my sister Laura had a big laughing attack that got all of us laughing!  There is nothing better then laughing till it hurts or you start to cry!
Speaking of losing teeth, Ellie lost her first tooth yesterday at Awesome grandma's house.  It was very exciting.  Awesome grandma played toothfairy instantly and gave her a dollar, then we ran into grandpa Mark on the way out and he gave her a handful of change.  As we drove away Ellie say " They were so nice to me....AND they made me rich!!!"

Your kids are so flippin' cute sarah! Glad to know we aren't the only ones who refer to our grandparents by their first name (: (e.g. Grandma Kathy)
