Oregon


We took a VERY last minute trip to Oregon this weekend. It was our Hayley's five year anniversary. Luke had offered to take the kids while I took a quick trip to visit Hayley's grave on her b-day. Around 15 minutes before Luke and the kids were going to take me to the airport, Kar asked me why she couldn't come. I couldn't really think of a reason why she couldn't.  So, we quickly packed up the kids and made it unbelievably to the airport on time.  I forgot just about everything, but we're here and having a great time.
Sunday the 14th the entire family who lives in Oregon came to the cemetery.  It was so great to be together. After the cemetery we had a big family  dinner. We played some mean rock band. The cousins were hilarious.

How wonderful to be with all your family to celebrate Hayley. You have such a great group. I just met your older sister that lives in my stake, her oldest went to prom with my friend's son. Small world!!!

We are just getting ready for Anders Birthday. i remember 5 years ago standing with you all at the cematary. I was out there not to long ago and sat at her grave side remembering all that happened. Good to have family and so good to have all your kids with you there.

I can't believe it's been 5 years already. It still feels like it happened yesterday.

So glad you all where able to go.

PS James was impressed with the guy in the blue safety kids shirt.
