Memorial Day

We had a great day! It started off with a visit to Great Grandma and Grandpa Allreds house.
 We are so blessed to be able to visit with them.
Me, Bensen and Viv have gone to visit them a few times since they have been in their new place. Every time we go Jaycee and Wesley are sad that they didn't get to come, so they were excited to come this time.
They even treated us to ice cream and cookies.
They sure know how to treat us right!

 After our visit we headed down to Sanpete County to visit some graves, but decided to stop off at the temple first.
 It was fun taking our kids to the place where we were sealed.
 My parents, and both of their parents were also sealed in the Manti Temple.




 On our wedding day me and Mike took a similar picture to this one, it is fun having our kids in this one.
 Our first grave stop was in Ephraim. Here we saw some of our Allred side. Including Ila May who Jaycee and Mae are named for.
 From there we went to Wales and saw some of our Bailey side, who Wesley and Vivian were named after. Next year we will have to go visit the Borgstrom side,  Bensen, Vivian and Wes were also named for people on their side.

 Before we headed home we went up a little canyon in Wales and went shooting.


It really was a great day. It was fun remembering those who have gone before us, I am so grateful for them and their stories. I know I am who I am today because them.
