Yesterday our hearts were pretty full because it was the 2 year anniversary of the day that Rusty's mom passed away. We all got together in the evening and used the alphabet to help us remember all the wonderful things we loved about Yvonne. It was especially fun to hear all the grandkids shout out things they remembered. How BLESSED we were to have Yvonne for our mom, grandma, and friend!! This picture is from last year when we all wrote messages on balloons and let them go. This was DJ's message (click on the picture to make it bigger), and I think it sums up our feelings pretty well.

Every time I look at your blog I can't believe how big your kids are.
That is awesome....although Jared said someone should have shouted out Divinity. He loved her divinity and she was the only one who would make it for him. We loved her very much.
I LOVE it!! What a fun way to remember her,I just might have to copy that idea! Darling post Ames!
