The 4th of July

This year for the 4th we celebrated all week! We started off at Bens moms house for a BBQ on Monday and then went with Ben's Dad and his wife Chris to Logan on the 3rd and went to the fireworks there and then enjoyed a picnic up near box elder camp ground on the 4th. Then we were off to Idaho Falls to see the fireworks that night with my family and to spend the weekend. Aniston loved the fireworks in Logan. They were pretty quiet and she loved to reach up to try and touch them. The Idaho Falls fireworks were a little louder and bigger so she got a little freaked out but then it was no big deal. We had fun visiting family and catching up with close friends. Thanks family for letting us come celebrate and for the awesome weekend!

Reaching for the fireworks

WOW! I think is what she was trying to say

Look at the fireworks!

Watching the fireworks with Grandpa Webb

She was not going to give me a good pic in her 4th of July outfit

That was the closest we were coming to a smile

We stopped at the Corinne Celebration and took her through the blow up toys

We had fun but she didn't enjoy it all that much

This was the only pic I got at the IF fireworks, but this was after they started

Cherry Hill

A few weeks ago my mom and my sister Angie came to visit us to see our new apartment and to spend the weekend. We had so much fun going to City Creek mall in Salt Lake and Cherry Hill water park. It was Anistons first water park experience and from the pictures you can see that it was not so fun at first but then she grew to LOVE it. She loves the water. In time she was crawling all over the kiddie pool, trying to attempt to go in the water fountains, making friends, stealing water toys, and going down the water slide. It was a blast. Thanks again Angie and mom for coming!

Getting used to the water

Thinking this isn't to bad

So cute!


I think we may have to go back!

QRremembered.com

    So many of you already know, but for those of you who don't Ben and his mom have been working on starting an online business. They have been working hard for a year now and we are happy to announce that it officially launched today! Its called QRremembered and its a memorial business that allows you to make a memorial for family and friends that have passed on. How it works is after the memorial is made a QR code is placed on a plaque that you attach to the gravestone. Then anyone with a Smartphone, i-pad, i-pod or any other device capable of scanning a qr code will then bring up the memorial you made online.  This is such an amazing way to honor your loved ones and pay tribute to them by telling their story so that when family and others visit the grave site they can scan the QR code and remember or hear the story of your loved one.
     I'm so proud of Ben and my mother-in-law for working so hard and developing a business that brings happiness to those who are grieving and we hope that others will also see the good it can bring as well by spreading the word to those families who may have had someone pass on recently or years ago. Here is the link to their website    http://www.qrremembered.com/
   
   I currently am working on my grandfathers, Fred Henry Seal, who passed away this last April. He was such an amazing man and anyone who ever met or knew him would know how much love and happiness he brought into their lives. His death was a surprise and shock to many of us because he had so much energy and life in him that we thought he would be around for many  more years. My grandpa was the only grandpa I grew up knowing and by making this memorial for him I feel closer to him and its something I could do for my family in helping them remember him. Here is the link to his memorial http://www.qrremembered.com/memorials/fred-henry-seal.php. Its not all the way completed. I am working on getting his funeral audio and other paperwork scanned in but if you go to his photo gallery you can see the amazing video Ben made for my Grandpa to show at his funeral. I love his memorial! Any time I think about him I can go to his memorial and remember his life and the impact he made on our family. Grandpa I love you and you will forever be missed!

As you can see the QR code is not yet on his gravestone. But will be soon.



Please visit QRremembered.com or the link above. We would love your feedback. It just launched today and there will be glitches and things we need to fix, but the only way of knowing is with your help. So please experiment with the site and start making your own memorials! The more advice we receive the better this site will be.
