Happy Memorial Day

Snowcone at SnowMania

This has been quite the hard week this week having only Ryder. Don't get me wrong, I love him to pieces but it's just not the same as having three run around. Ugh. And just found out that Tyler wants to stay in Parowan until next weekend which, I kind of have to wonder if that was really his decision or not. He didn't want to go period, then he only wanted to go a few days and now he wants to be gone all week. Doesn't feel right. I'll just have to check in with him every day or two and make sure he is okay.
On to other things...today has been rough. Ry and I have been stir crazy. We visited with Betsy and LJ For awhile, went to the lake with them for awhile, then came home and went swimming for awhile. After we went to Discovery Park for a long while then came home and ate dinner. Now we are watching movies. We haven't done this much in one day for a long time but we just didn't want to be inside. Brothers being gone has been extremely hard on Ryder as well. He goes to sleep crying because he misses them so much. It's going to be a long week.

Today is Memorial Day, and as such I just feel I need to pay respect to those who have served and still are serving this country. Truly, I can't say thank you enough to suffice at all.

Yes...it's a real picture. And yes, they both died for us.
