A New Grandson


This slideshow is long because I had to wait from April until the end of November to post anything about our new grandson. Then I decided to wait and post a few Christmas pictures.  He is amazing, and I hope you enjoy seeing some of the many photos of him.

A GOLDEN ANNIVERSARY

50 Years of Blessings
On June 20, 1964 ~ We became Husband and Wife...
I thought at the time, nothing could top that experience.
We were on top of the world, or so it seemed!

Cutting the cake...

On the same date, at the same time, fifty years later
we returned to the place where our marriage began. 

It is no longer the Velasco Methodist Church, 
but it still looks the same,
and it still brings back those sweet memories.

Apparently the "I Do's" were permanent declarations of our love.

A marker has been erected to show 
the church's historical significance.

After our wedding, our 'second kiss' took place 
outside, on the church sidewalk,
when he swept me off my feet.
Fifty years and many kisses later, 
we were photographed again, 
to commemorate the original picture. 

On July 4, 2014, our children honored us 
with a celebration for our 50th Anniversary at our home.
After our meal there was another cake
spotlighting many events from our life together,
baked and decorated by our dear friend, Rhonda Mills.

All of us were here...
Scott's Family
AJ, Laura, Kim, Scott, Kaylee, and Doug

Larry's Family
Caitlin, Larry, Jackie, and Hunter

Duane and Denise 
(and one very special little boy~the topic of a future blog)

Our family has made us proud, and continues to do so!

How could I have thought, as a bride,
that we had reached the top of the world?
So many wonderful experiences have made our life 
more than I could have imagined.
Just this past spring another exciting event happened in our life 
which has already and will continue to enrich our family, 
and the lives of his mommy and daddy.

We have been so blessed!
