Isabel and Ben were very excited to help me go get flowers to put on the graves this year. They helped me load them into the cart at Winco, then get them into and out of the car.
They had to arrange the flowers multiple times around the porch til they looked just right! They took their jobs seriously.
They wanted to make sure Grandma and Grandpa Morgan saw a picture of them with the flowers.
Here is Isabel looking cute :) I didn't get any pictures, but I did mom's side of the family and the Yamashita graves on Saturday.
Grandma Tracie met me at the Ogden cemetery so I could find the Yamashita grandparents. Then Chris, Jen and Nara met us at Altarest on 36th st. Good news mom and dad, they give away hot dogs and drinks now! You picked the right place to want to be buried :) j/k From there we went to cemetery on Washington, across from the golf course. Isabel made sure to give Tanner a red flower, cause he was a boy and that was a boy color. Funny story at the Ogden Cemetery..... (not intended to make fun of anyone's name) I was reading names on headstones to the kids and the kids asked me what the name was on a round headstone.... you'll never guess what it was.... Pancake! They thought it was hilarious! So did I.
On Monday, we made it up to Logan in the snow. :( You can see some on the ground if you look close. Since it was raining, we didn't need to water the flowers, so the kids were all in charge of placing the flowers and taking the plastic off of them. They did a good job! Here are Isabel and Ari posing for Grandpa Grant, showing him the name Morgan on the grave.
This is the best picture I could get of the grandkids at the Logan cemetery. They did really good not to step on the headstones, scream or run around. I think the fact that it was cold helped :)
We had a hard time finding Olas Johnson there. We KNEW he was close to a certain tree, but come to find out, it was another tree that looked just like the one we thought it was :) Funny story about Isabel and Ari..... We asked Isabel and Ari to find the name Johnson on a headstone for us, so they walked around looking for it. All of the sudden, they came up to me and said, "Mom, we found Jesus!" They were very excited! They had found a headstone that had a picture of Jesus with no words on it, and they assumed that Jesus was buried there. Who knew Jesus was buried at the Logan cemetery?! :)
Here is Ben, taking his job seriously! He refused to wear his coat, cause Adam only had a sweatshirt on, so that's all he wanted to wear.....I ended up carrying him cause he was cold and wet and whiney..... :)
Chris got to carry Isabel. He said that it reminded him of last year, when he carried her the same way :) Traditions make for fond memories! Happy Memorial Day!

Sheesh! That's a whole lot of flowers and graves! At least the weather was half decent on Saturday. Heard Logan was horribly cold Monday though.
None of my fam is buried here, and Jeff says we go to enough cemeteries on our trips, so we don't go on Memorial Day to any of his fam. :) Oh, well.
That's a ton of flowers! We usually go with my family to visit graves, but since we aren't in Utah anymore, we don't have that option. :( Glad you were able to do that though.
