Memorial Day

Today we picked Opa up to take him
to the Cemetery to visit Oma's grave.

The head stone will be finished in about a month.
We miss our Oma every day, but we know she is doing
a very important work in the spirit world. She is making
things beautiful there like she did here, we put some
flowers on her grave, but the ones that remind me
of her is petunias, she was a green thumb and could
make them bloom like no one I ever knew!!

Beautiful view of the city from her spot on the hill.
It was a beautiful day, we saw many people at the
cemetery paying tribute to their loved ones.
We know that this life isn't what it's all about, but  only
an important test to the next step, and Oma has passed
her test with flying colors

Center of Gravity

After dinner yesterday, we did a trick using the rule
of Center of Gravity, we showed everyone 10 nails,
and said try to balance them all on a nail that was
hammered in a wood block. It took some time, where
we talked about gravity, and how if you find the
center, you can balance things. Like learning how to ride
a bike, we all find our center of gravity when we do that.
Then we showed how to weave them together and
they all balanced on one nail.
Keeton is posing with the one he did by him self,
we weren't sure why the action shot, but after we
got it...

he chopped them all down! Silly guy!!

Maloree turns 3!!

I was happy to be invited to help out at the fun
Birthday party, that Krystal put on
for Maloree's 3rd birthday!!

They were wearing their swimsuits, because they had a pool out,
but most just wanted to play in the yard and inside.

They had a yummy treat time together,
Krystal planned for healthy and sweet things too!

Maloree is eating watermelon.

Keeton was such a great helper!!
Maloree has a wonderful big brother!!
He is growing up too fast!!
