Memorial Day

Friends and family texted me photos of their visits to Elle's grave that day. Is that not the sweetest thing? I was so grateful.

Capri and Sienna giving Elle a kiss :)

The Halls have been so thoughtful and sweet.

Our Hughes cousins keep Cam looking forward to Wednesdays (more on another post).

We had a family barbecue on the back deck and then rode bikes to the cemetery to have an ice cream picnic. (Rob met us there with Ben & Jerry.)

Mia makes the most of the moment (as always)

We sure love you, Elle. Help us to be patient (you know how I am!)

MK's Graduation Day

MK

Wow, they are beautiful...

Bethanna, Cami, and Michelle,
the "Sports Med crew"

The Grandmoms. Grandma layered Kenzie up with eleven-teen kinds of leis, and Granny got lost in the parking lot afterwards for over an hour. What they won't do for their granddaughter.

Grandma and Grandpa

Brooklyn

"Gabby has the best six-pack abs I've ever seen."

Tanner, "Chase's boyfriend" haha. "Tanner's the boy that got me through Accounting."

High school sweethearts, Sara and Jake

The Five with parents

Bentley...

This is their "secret handshake."

Four of the Sexy Six:
Yamada, Dillon, Jake, and Matt

"Hannah HYDE [yell the 'Hyde'] and Chels," (as in Chelsea, whose name is actually Alyssa [?])

Are we ready for this??

"Sam the Booty"

Mason, "He's Cara-crazed. Love him!"

"Bennett's my handy-dandy friend. He knows everything and is always there for you."

"I call him 'Big Boy.' Brighton's my gym friend."

"Justin is pretty much bi-polar. He's the craziest and then the most serious when you need him. He's the one I would call to talk about Elle."

(Ok, that's enough hugging on boys...)

Brynn and MK

Love the hair mustaches and Mason's awkward stiff graduate pose. Oh, and there's Sam's booty :)

Triple-decker in a dress and heels. Sounds about right...

One second before they collapsed...
