Saturday we made the Trek to Moroni...
It was hard going this year without Grandpa :(
3 out of the 5 siblings. I am so glad we all were able to go together.
Grandpa's brother. Grandon, killed in WWII on Christmas day. |
Cutest little girl. Marley :) |
Then Monday we had our breakfast and went to Wasatch Lawn with the Stallings...The weather was reverse of all the other years. Usually it's cold and windy in Moroni and hot and sunny for Memorial Day but this year the weather was really nice in Moroni and cold and rainy on Monday.
New addition to the headstone. A QR code, you know the things that are popping up everywhere? Well if you have a smart phone and download the QR scanner app, and happen to be visiting Wasatch Lawn Cemetery and stumble upon my grandma's grave scan this and you will be taken to a page dedicated to her. Cool right? (She was a beautiful woman so prepare to be wowed :) ) But if you don't go there and still want to see the website click here. And anyone interested in getting one for a headstone go here |
My Grandpa even did it on his blackberry, he loved it!
--And no photo but I also made a stop and left a flower for the Davies' who are also at Wasatch Lawn.
All in all it was a great Memorial Weekend. I love getting together with family and having BBQ's and visiting cemeterys.
In other news....
Ben's birthday was on the 1st which started June, the month of birthdays in our family. He is 23 and a very eligible bachelor, ladies :) Love ya brother! Happy Birthday.
Last Saturday I did something I never thought I would do.....I ran a 5k...haha ok stop laughing now I really did.
Here's proof.
I know we're nerds :) My dad is on the Junior Achievement Board and they were having their first annual fun run and 5k and we decided to do it. It was way fun and not a horrible as I thought it was going to be. We didn't die, which was our biggest concern!
Oh and I almost forgot.....
I'm 20 years old. Today! Weird.
haha you ran a 5K? I thought you ran like a fat kid... but like I am one to talk right?
