The Weekend at a Glance

We had a great Memorial Day Weekend. On Saturday we went to Grace and met up with my parents, Tiffany and Motor, JP, Aunt Konnie and Uncle Pete, Aunt Karen and Uncle Brent, and my Aunt Myrna and Uncle Phil and decorated graves in Grace and Soda Springs. We then went out to my Uncle Pete and Aunt Konnie's place and had a lunch!! We then spent the rest of the afternoon and evening at my parents' house. We took a walk up to the knoll behind my parents' house and it was so beautiful. The Mound Valley was so pretty and green and we enjoyed the nice fresh air.

On Sunday we went out and decorated Darcee's Grave with Cody's family. It is always so good to go out and see her peaceful place. Lots of emotion flood back and I love to remember our sweet girl. Despite the time that has past, I still vividly remember that sweet spirit and I love her so very much!

It was a great weekend with our families! I love Memorial Day Weekend. I love that time to specifically remember those that we have lost and that have touched our lives. I am so thankful for the gospel and the knowledge that it brings. That we can be forever families and that we will see our loved ones again. It is wonderful to know that we each have a reason and a purpose for being on this earth and that our Heavenly Father loves each of us so much. I know that I would not have made it through our trial with the twins without the love, comfort, and knowledge that the gospel brings. We are truly blessed to have the true church restored to earth at this time in our lives. I am so thankful that our lives were blessed by those that we knew only for a short time: Darcee A. Sparrow and Shantay Sparrow, and for those that we got to love a long time: my wonderful grandparents, sweet Aunts, and Cody's Grandpa. We love them all!

But we also hold a special place in our hearts for those that have lost their lives serving our great country. Thank you to those who risk their lives everyday and thanks to their families for their sacrifices!
