Reece and Owen's Birthday

Up early again.  First stop was Jewel to buy flowers and balloons to take to the cemetery.  Finally found someone who could blow up balloons and we were on our way.  Stopped and picked Aunt Sharon up then headed to the cemetery.

When we got there my brothers family had already put up little balloons with signs saying happy birthday Reece and Owen.  Love that they remember them and get them something every year.  We got everything in place, took some pictures, said some prayers, shed some tears, and got back in the car.

Happy Birthday Reece and Owen.


Off to church.  There was a mass for the boys at 8:30.  Cameron and I took the gifts up.  Mass was over at 9:00.  We brought the age limit way down.  Cameron said the ages were from 9-165.  I don't think anyone was that old but it had to be close.

Aunt Sharon then bought us breakfast at IHOP.  That was so nice of her.  And breakfast was really good.  We then dropped her off at home and then took Dad and Cameron home.  Mom and I back to the cemetery so she could take pictures, dropped some stuff off at my brothers, ran to the video store to get some movies, went to Payless to buy some shoes, then stopped at Whitey's to get some ice cream.  Boy did that taste good.  While we were gone Cameron and Grandpa crushed all the cans from the party.

We watched a movie and then a little tv.  Cameron was bored so he wanted to run to Walmart.  Mom, Cameron, and I jumped in the car and went to Walmart.  We got 2 new Wii games and clothes and shoes for Cameron.  A few other odds and ends too.

Back to the cemetery.  4 of the plain balloons had either popped or were almost deflated due to the heat.  We fixed everything so it looked good again and then got out some Twinkies.  Yes, we used Twinkies as our cupcakes this year.  We put 2 candles in a Twinkie and sang happy birthday to Reece and Owen.  We then all enjoyed a Twinkie.

Twinkie instead of cupcakes this year.

In memory of Reece and Owen.

Love and miss our babies everyday.

We ran and picked up Sluggers pizza for dinner.  Ate, played a little wii, and Cameron and I watched Uncle Buck.  Mom and Dad went to Grace's basketball game at 8:40.  Went to bed early since we have to get up early tomorrow.
