Today is Grandma Roberts' birthday. We wanted to do something that would help us remember her. So we packed up the kiddies, brought our cleaning supplies & headed down to the cemetery to spruce up Grandma & Grandpa's headstone & add a fresh bouquet of silk flowers. We brought along a picture of Grandma & Grandpa & the whole drive over little B sang, Grandma Rooooooberrts...Grandmaaaa Roooooobeerrrts while clutching that picture. Sigh...so unfair that she doesn't have her fabulous Grandparents in this life....
Everybody was in on the action...and we kept them pretty well contained....generally speaking. We even got a chance to go & visit my Grandma Larsen's gravesite as well. So many people we love & miss so much!! Makes you value each moment.
Ahem, Zoe dressed herself & did her own hair for this event. Gotta love 6 year old fashion.
After completing our clean-up we gathered around & sang "Happy Birthday" to Grandma. We miss you so much Grandma R....happy, happy birthday!!AND for a little comic relief...if you look VERY closely you will see a boy who simply COULD NOT hold it any longer. He will kill me for this someday....most assuredly. But when Rob & I looked over, I just couldn't resist. ;) Boys have it SO easy.
P.S. Happy Birthday also to Aunt Jessica! We love you too! Smooch!

How special, glad you live here and can take your kiddos to do that. Boys are so funny! When it is time to take care of business, no worries it's an easy fix!
Oh my gosh, that last picture KILLS me! Love it.
Glad you had a good experience yesterday. How marvelous that we have a sure understanding of where those people are and that we'll see them again.
xoxo.
Oh wow-what a special day. I'm glad you found some flowers. The photos are awesome-I guess you should take all the photos, then I will scrapbook them.....
P.S. I think one of his favorite things to do at Grandma's house is go pee-pee outside with Alexander....
