Day of Grandpas!

July 3rd is quite a day for our family. It is Grandpa Stan's (Walker) birthday and it is the anniversary of the day Grandpa Williams passed away -- one year ago! We are in Utah for the blessing of Jeremy and AJ's twins and to be here with my Mom for the first anniversary of Dad's passing!

A tradition in the Walker family is that Grandpa Stan gets a RED WHITE and BLUE cake. This has been a tradition his entire living life and it has continued on after his passing. We are staying with Grandma Walker so the girls and I made little brownie cups with red white a blue toppings. We invited Paul over, sang Happy Birthday to Grandpa Stan...ate his brownie cakes and then visited the cemetery. We left Grandpa Stan a red, white and blue brownie and some beautiful flowers!

After our visit to the Pleasant Grove Cemetery we joined the Williams crew at the Purple Turtle for some lunch and the went to the Provo Cemetery to visit Grandpa Williams' grave. The grandkids released balloons for Grandpa and then we sang to Grandpa a song he always sang to us....Sweet Violets!

We miss our Grandpas! I can't believe it has been an entire year since my sweet Dad left this earth!
