One of Whitney's friends from school had claimed a grey female from the litter, so sweet Belva Boo (that's what we'd been calling her) got picked up Memorial Day weekend. Whitney made a birth certificate for her and we put a bow around her neck (which she was none too keen on). I may or may not have cried when she left. The good thing is that Whitney's friend started an Instagram account for her so we get to see updates on her regularly and she's doing well.
As for normal Memorial Day activities...Sunday evening we drove out to the Herriman Cemetery with my mom and Lori to put flowers on the graves and pay our respects.
My mom's parents' grave.
My mom's sister Launa showed up with her husband, daughter, and grandson plus her 100 year old Aunt Berniece (who kept saying to us, "Do you know who I am?!").
The boy was looking fly as usual.
I handed my phone to Landon to take a group selfie of us and he surprised us by jumping up onto a bench and snapping this photo. It was so funny and resulted in this very unposed photo, which I love.
This happened.
I couldn't sleep that night and ended up starting many Trivia Crack Challenges with Lori, and named them after my plight.
Monday morning Randy and the kids finally got to work weeding all the flower beds (this is what I wanted for Mother's Day).
It ended up being a beautiful day.
We met up with my parents, Lori, and Adam's family at JCW's for lunch and then came back to our house to hang out and celebrate Tess' 13th birthday.
We sat outside enjoying the weather and chatting for hours.
