I have the greatest grandparents! They are extremely sweet and loving and are willing to help anyone. My grandpa served in the Korean War, taught school, coached sports, was a principal, and finished up his career as a superintendent. He loved working with children. While serving in Korea he once played "Santa Claus" to a bunch of Korean orphans. He is just a neat man! My grandma had 4 boys. She was a wonderful mother who raised strong, polite, hardworking men. She loves to read, do puzzles, play card games, and just be with her children and grandchildren. They have 12 grandchildren and 7 great-grandchildren. It is fun to see how happy they are when they see any of the little kids!
They recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. Last night they had a big party to celebrate. It was a lot of fun. They had many friends and family attend. They looked so happy as they visited with people. I asked my grandma if she had fun. She said, "Yes!" Then I asked her if it was worth being married for 50 years to be able to have such a fun party! :) She laughed and said, "Yes!"
Easton and Paisley had a lot of fun playing with their cousins. The party was at a hotel by the river and so they were able to play outside. Easton played "karate" all night with his cousin, Stockton, and Paisley played with her little cousin, Madalyn. Avery was good while we enjoyed the refreshments, but then started to get pretty crabby. Dave ended up taking her home, and that left me to just enjoy talking to my family. (Thanks Dave for taking one for the team!!) :)
This was the scene from their party! Very beautiful and very fitting!
Thank you grandpa and grandma for your great example of marriage. Thank you for everything that you do for us and have taught us. We all look to you as examples in our lives. Congratulations on 50 years!! That is an amazing feat! :) We love you so much!!
