We headed up to visit my grandma for Memorial Day. Her 89th birthday was on May 1st but with my parents still wintering down in Arizona and other family not able to get together at the time, we decided to wait and throw her a big birthday bash on Memorial Day.
On the way up, we stopped at my parents' place on the lake...spent the night and had some yummy smores...A LoT of yummy smores. Uggg, I'm still stuffed.
We continued on up to Eureka where Jax Cafe had been rented out just for our fam damily. My parents, and all my moms' brothers and their families were able to be there. I think we wore my grandma out, which was kind of the plan! Funny stories were told...good ol' fashioned reminiscing. Then a few of us headed back to grandmas. My camera was working only intermittently so this is all I've got.

The entire 3 hour car ride up there, Andrew sang to us, 8 year old opera style. Kelsey can attest to that because she got to ride with us. It was fun, wasn't it Kelsey?
On the way back, we stopped at my grandpa's grave site in Kalispell. We had grabbed some lilacs from my grandma's yard and put them on my grandpa's grave...along with some jerky from M&S Meats. We would have put some cheese curds on there too but Tim had eaten them all by the time we got to the cemetery. If you knew my grandpa you would totally understand the jerky and cheese curds.
There's nothing quite like family and I am so grateful for all the crazy people in this one! We love you grandma, Happy Birthday! And grandpa, we love you and miss you terribly!

I'm jealous I missed the smores! This pix of Lilly makes her eyes look dark so she REALLY looks like you Liva. She looks like her mom too.
Poor Lex!
