We started a new tradition last year with memorial day. Its always made me a little sad that it was so one sided for us. That i couldnt ever take flowers and remember my loved ones. Last year it became all the more important to find something with my mum now being one of those loved ones passed away. We came up with ballons in her fave colors. We all write msgs on them, whatever we want and then after we eat we let the balloons go. It also works out good for us as Carole and Dan also were not born here and can also write balloons to there loved ones. I know it brings me some comfort that ive done something and hopefully it did for them also. The kids did some really cute things on them this year. I didnt read most of them as i felt it was private beween them and whoever the msgs were for but i saw a few. Lucys said. This dance is for you! That brought tears to my eyes. My mum always was her biggest fan. Leannas daddy drew a funny picture of leanna on the balloon so Nanny would be able to have a picture of her, lol. Leland drew around his hand. Emmalee drew pictures of her family, the three of them. What else would Emmalee do, lol. Lee also had to lighen the mood with doing a balloon for Real to score a goal and a msg to God!!!! But we think it was that balloon that got stuck in the tree next door. Im sure the neighbours will wonder what thats about!!!!!!!!!! But it really made the day special. Ralph also went and put flowers on his mums grave that morning also. He had a hard time finding it as there wasnt a marker on it. We also had a great BBQ. One of these days weve be able to eat in the yard, its been so cold. lol. But the sun came out when we went outside to do the balloons and then rained again afterwards. Im sure she was smiling down on all of us and our crazy msgs. Heres some pictures of the day.

I love this picture of Jayson and Leanna. They are just starting to try and figure out who they both are. lol. 
Leland was sitting there very cute with them until i headed his way with the camera. He must have been watching his Uncle Cory who does the same thing.
He should be walking any day now. He sure loves to be on his feet.
My little Jayson bug.
His bib says. What happens at Grandmas, stays at Grandmas.
The pictures Emmalee did. Lol. Jayson looks about five years old!!
Jay and Cory. Who also was sitting nice until he saw me coming with the camera.
Lee did the balloons last year and this year Jay did them.
I didnt get too many pictures of Leland as he has decided he dont like his picture being done. Im going to have to learn to be more sneaky with him. We had a great day. We love our kids so much and the grandbabies of course are amazing. Great food, Great Company, What more could you ask for? Well Hayley and Aaron being there! But oh well. Life isnt perfect right?
