Anyway- here are some pics and some memories from this Memorial Day- 2010---
Remembering Mike- decorating with his favorite colors- red and white- coca cola colors!
Rest well my sweet and I'll "See You In The Morning" ....
My sister Liana and I went to Bear Lake to do some work for our mom. We took Jaimen and Mikey to help out. Our plan was to clean out her room (she's border-line hoarder I swear), but we only managed to get about a box and a half of her "stuff" cleaned out. She has so many little knick knacks and memorabilia (Elvis, Tweety, bowling, etc.) She had fallen a couple weeks earlier into her closet and it scared us all, so hopefully now she can move around and even rest a little easier. We cleaned and dusted and vacuumed and set up a new bed Dad got her for her birthday. It was fun, but exhausting and time well spent!
This is Daddy (Grampa Toomer) posing with the boys. Mikey had a great time visiting with his older cousin.... he has always looked up to Jaimen. Both the boys were really good- I'm glad we had them with us. Liana and I of course loved spending time together!
And this is Mikey with Mom (Gramma Toomer). I think seeing us and the boys really cheered her up. She was a little feisty about her room- but since Liana and I are "bigger" than her we got enough accomplished- hee hee. Seriously- she was kinda having a hard time, but we convinced her to declutter so she could get around easier. I only wish we could have boxed up lots more!
Monday morning Mailei and I met Brady for breakfast at Butter Burrs.... we had a blast. I am so happy with Brady these days. I mean I always have been, but he is looking so much happier and more at peace since moving back to Pocatello. He is a good young man and my prayer is that someday he will remember how special he is and return to activity in the Church. It does make me really happy though that he has what he calls a really "good relationship" with Heavenly Father. The only down side of the weekend was not having time with Donnie, Katie and the boys. They went to Island Park and although I was hoping to have time with them it just didn't work out. Hopefully I can get down there soon and spend a couple days just with them!!! I miss my boys-need to have a "gramma date" with them!
I also need to find time with our kids on Jim's side - there just is never enough time when I travel these days. We're hoping to get Jim's car back home so he's not just "stuck" here when I go, then I can take a little more time with my trips.... (((sigh)))
Well-gonna go for now- posted with love by a very grateful gramma!
