Take a close look at the picture.... My Dad and Carsen are making the same face!!! He really is just like his Granddaddy!!!
We LOVE to go the Memorial Day Parade that our Church puts on for the community. The kids love to see all of the tractors, old cars, and of course the whole reason we celebrate this day the Soldiers!!! I can't go to this event without thinking of my Papa!! We was so proud to serve is country and he loved events like this so much. It is a great reminder to me of how proud the men and women who serve our country are of what they do. It is also a great reminder of how Thankful I am that we have such wonderful men and women who are willing to do this for us. This event is so important to my family because it is a way to teach my kids that their freedom was bought with a price not only from their Savior Jesus but from men and women who risk their lives everyday. This is one of those traditions that I hold very dear to my heart (as you can tell!) My only wish is that my Papa was here to share this special day with my kids!!! Even though that is not possible his wonderful memory will always live on in the stories that I tell them. Thank you Papa for being a man who was willing to fight for not only my freedom but the freedom of my kids!!! We love and miss you very much!!!
