Some Other Random Stuff

While visiting family we attended a funeral and the burial was at the cemetary where many of my ancestors were buried. My mom's name is Julie and her grandmother was named Julia, hence my Julia. We took a picture of Julia by her great great grandmother's grave so she would know the reason for her name. My mom tells me that everyone loved Grandma Eldredge and I am proud that Julia has such an honorable name sake.

While visiting I was also able to see one of my very best friends Whitney and her two adorable kids. Our kids match up almost perfectly, so someday when we live closer together they will have great playmates. Whitney and her family have been more like family to us and we love them so much. We also loved seeing her dad Ken-who is much more like Uncle Ken. This is Audrey and little Claire. Claire is two months older but Audrey outweighed her when she was only two months old. She is such a petite cute little thing.
Julia and Ben. Julia was a little tired at this point of the trip and I am ashamed that she wasn't in her best form, but they had a good time none the less. Julia played the guitar (which she kept calling a violin- thank you Little Einsteins) and Ben sang "My Name is Jonas" on the microphone. This game soon turned into running around with a bit of strangling with the guitar but they didn't care. There was a great deal of giggling.
Poor Bryan. We attended a bridal shower for one of my little sister's best friends and they played a game where the bride to be had to feel various men's legs to see which one was her fiance. My sister rounded up all of my brothers, Bryan included, and brought them to the shower. In order to make the game more amusing our friend brought her husband's chicken costume he uses at his car dealership. No one was willing to wear the costume but my good sport Bryan. I do believe anyone would buy a fancy car from this hot chicken. Needless to say the bride did not mistake Bryan for her future husband and thank goodness for that because he is ALL mine.
