Utah in May Part 2

 This was Ashley's side of the family that was there for the wedding. And below is the reception, they put a lot of time and effort into making everything so Beautiful and it was Beautiful but the glow and happiness the bride was emanating far surpassed everything else, it really was a wonderful wedding, Ashley and Robert seem so happy and blessed to have each other.

 Surprise! Great Grandpa showed up at the reception. out of no where, we were all happy to see him but also surprised, so below is a four generation picture, Audryn meeting her Great Grandpa for the first time, (She only has 1 Great Grandpa living and 1 Great grandma living so kind of a big deal) Grandpa, her dad and her, she was too taken with Grandpa holding her to look at the camera.

 Sunday the festivities for the family were not until later in the day so we took flowers over to my Grandparents graves, I was raised knowing three Grandfathers, My dad's parents divorced and remarried so three sets of Grandparents for me All three grandfathers served in the Military in some way or branch so it really seemed fitting we take flowers for Memorial day we normally aren't around to do that, it was particularly nice having just lost my one grandfather to see his grave and have a moment with my memories of him. I miss them, All of them. What a year.

 We tried to teach the kids a little about Memorial day and two things were apparent, we need to brush up on our own knowledge of the day, and my kids just love to wave the flag.... This is at my Grandma and Grandpa's Grave We took flowers for both it looked lovely, What good man doesn't have an amazing woman behind him or beside him?

 On to the Eagle Court of Honor. Our nephew Matthew worked very hard and earned the honor of becoming an Eagle Scout, this is the Eagles nest awaiting him, a little gruff looking, but full of heart and love for one new Eagle Scout.

 Matthew is a fun kid, he is so good with our kids particularly when he thinks no one is watching, he is a kindred spirit, but don't let him know he is a teenage boy and doesn't quite know what to do with that yet..... hehehehe

On Monday we ventured home for a short 3 day stint, to do some laundry, pack some boxes, go to end of year party's and then on to vacation!
