So "SPECIAL"






My little brother Chris was in the special olympics last week. Can I just say that I look so forward to this all year long. I know he does too, he can't stop talking about it. It is just so fun to see them come to life, and do all that they can do, even if they don't even come close to winning. He took the gold in the shot put and was sooooo excited about it. They also took the gold in the 400m relay. But when it comes to him running on his own, he came in dead last. He could care less, he is there for the fans, and the fans only. He ran a slow jog and just waved and waved and blew kisses the entire time. He had the hugest smile the entire time. I love to see him when he feels like he is on top of the world. He's is literally SOOOO SPECIAL in our fam, we couldn't love him more.

Memorial Day







Usually we don't do much for Memorial Day, but this year Melinda invited us to a Memorial Day service that they were honoring Clayton at. They had made a memorial for he and Linder (the other guy who died with him). It turned out so awesome, and it is somewhere that people can go visit to honor them. It was a full afternoon of a service, and they even had a real apache there for the kids to sit on and look at. Its such a sad thing that happened to him, but good that they are still doing things to honor him almost 2 years later.
