Vacation

So I have been in Virginia for almost two weeks, however, my vacation did not officially start until yesterday when I came to my cousins. Today, the site seeing began... and what better way to start off a vacation than with a trip to the DC temple. Which was absolutely amazing. The trees are all green and lush and the temple- is a vast whiteness against all the green. I loved it!!!

We had Katie's kids (who I have fallen in love with btw). Aren't the twins just so cute. That is Greta and Sophie (left to right).

A blast from the past.

Since I am sitting at my old computer... I am going to take advantage of the older photos I have on here. Enjoy.

Oh how I love my kids. I wish I could bottle them up at each precious stage of their lives and keep them forever.

Part II: Yeehaw!

The other Memorial Day tradition that we have is going to my Aunt and Uncles house for a BBQ. Often times the weather is so horrible that we end up eating in the garage. (Keep in mind, their garage is very clean) This year, the weather was perfect.  So perfect, in fact, that we got to ride the horses.  

Which the kidlets absolutely LOVED.

How's that for a bunch of city kids :)

Memorial Day Part 1.

Its a tradition.

 Since the tender age of five, I have been going to the Cemetary every year to place flowers on my Father's grave.

Now, I share this tradition with my children...

as we place flowers on the graves of our family members.

and discuss our heritage.

of course... that is only part of the tradition.
