Memorial Day Weekend

Since we had a three day weekend and it's usually tradition to go to Grace over this weekend, we did. We headed up on Friday after Billy got off work and we stayed at my Grandma Pats house to make it easier for everyone, since there is more room there. Amber was going to come up too ,because we were planning to bless Owen on Sunday, but Ben had to have back surgery so she wasn't able. On Saturday my mom, Ashlynn, Peanut, and I met Amber in Pocatello at Chili's so we could see each others babies. It was fun to have all of us with our mom and to be able to talk and laugh. Here are a few pictures from that day.

We had a few errands to run to get stuff to make pot luck for our cookout. That night we played games and tried to get some sleep. The next day we blessed Owen, and ate lunch at Grandma Pats with her side of the family. Melanie came over and I got to to talk to her for awhile, that was fun, we don't get to see each other often enough.

We tried to get a picture of our 4 kids, but they wouldn't cooperate. Taggart just wanted to play.

Owen, Taggart, Paizlee, and Oaklee.

We had to get a picture of Uncle Jason with his two nephews. Taggart sure likes his Uncles :)

Sunday evening we got the sad news that Grandma Hansen had passed away. We were glad that she was no longer suffering and that she was with her loved ones who had gone on before. Monday we had our annual Taggart Family Cook-out at Grandma Mac and Grandpa Lonnie's. It was delicious. We love dutch oven chicken and potatoes. Myan loves Owen, and didn't want to leave his side, it was adorable.

While we were at Grandma's we realized that Billy could catch a ride with grandma pat (they were going to Costa Rica) to pick up his work van, and I could stay and go to the funeral. The funeral was going to be Wednesday, so I would stay two extra nights. Peanut said she would help me. So that is what we did. She stayed at Grandma Pat's with me and we drove to the funeral. It was really good, and Grandma Hansen looked really good too. We drove through Evanston to get back to Utah and it wasn't a bad drive at all. I was glad to get back to Billy cuz being a "single" mom is not fun and I have a lot of respect for those who do it everyday, it is tough work.
