Memorial Day and Jack's birthday bash

We had a fun Memorial Day BBQ and birthday party for Jackson on Monday. It was such a beautiful day and we all had a great time swimming, eating, laughing, playing water balloon volleyball (which quickly turned into a wild water balloon fight) and just enjoyed a great day being together.

 


Before the party Allyn and I went to the cemetery to visit Leah's grave. 
It was hard and we cried lots of tears. We miss her so much. 
It was very spiritual at the cemetery. I have never seen so many people there before, at one time. 
Lots of flags and lots of families showing respect for their loved ones.. There was a peace there that was very comforting. One family had gathered around a family graveside and were singing a beautiful hymn. 
It was very touching and lifted my soul. We love you Leah...
