Funeral and a Birthday

We have recently made a trip down to our home town Dillon, MT for Sheyden's uncle Matthew's funeral. We found out he had passed on Easter Sunday, Matt's favorite holiday of all things, and left instantly on Monday to help out with everything.

The funeral was on Wednesday and it was pretty eerie and sad. All of his six kids were in shock and held up really well up until the showing of Matthew and then it hit everyone. The one who had shown that it hit the hardest was Audrey. All we could do was hold her and tell her everything will be alright and that she'd see him again.

Saturday, we had a birthday party for our son Graison and it was really great to have happiness in all the sadness. I made his cake, the very hungry caterpillar, and it took him a second or two to really get into his cake. He loved his presents and had fun with all of his cousins, most of all his grandpa Phillip.

I'm so glad to have Graison in our lives and I can't believe that he's 1 year old already (on the 28th). The time definitely flies by. I'm so excited for future birthdays to come and hopefully a sibling or two for him down the road. Until then we will be the Happy Trio.
