Memorial Day

We spent most of Monday with Loren's Parents and relatives.  We all meet at the cemetery were Loren's Grand and Great grandparent are buried.  We made them look amazing by cleaning the head stones and putting flowers and photo's around them.  The children and I then took a walk to see the big monuments that are there and found many of the prophets head stones.  It was exciting to see who was buried there and also humbling to see the people that have gone before us.

Loren's grandparents-The James 

This monument is for Hyrum Smiths, Josephs brother.  It tells a little about him and his life.

President Heber J. Grant

There are more Presidents of the church buried here, such as President Hinckley. But the cemetery is huge.  We have decided to go another day this summer and find more.

We had a big family BBQ at the James. It was fun catching up with people and happenings in their lives.
Thanks for the great food and your home Mike and Sharon.
