50 Years of Love and Posterity!

On July 11th we gathered Deron's family together (as many who could come) and 
celebrated these two and their amazing 50 years together! 
Gerald and Chella are my in-laws but I love and adore them as if they were my very 
own parents. They are among some of the kindest, most loving people I know! 
Our lives are blessed because these two special people fell in love. They will probably
never know how many of their kids and grandkids watch, listen, and admire the wonderful 
people that they are!!

Kenron is their 1st Great Grandchild

Kayson is their 2nd Great Grandchild

Landry is their 3rd Great Grandchild

 Max is their 4th Great Grandchild

All of our children weren't able to be there, and we missed them, but Kim, Halle, Todd and Dayna were all there. Grandma and Grandpa love their grandkids and great grandkids with more love and passion than you could imagine. They would do anything for their grandkids!!

Halle adores her nephews and ate up all the time she could spending time with them
doing just about anything!

 This little chocolate cake covered mouth is one of my favorite little people!! He
loves to play and has such a tender heart. He makes me so happy!

Kayson spending time with Great Grandpa....a priceless and precious moment!
Kayson loves with his whole heart and is so kind. He makes my heart smile!

 A 5 generation picture with both Max and Landry...special times for sure!!

Kenron has one of the most happy positive attitudes of any person, old or young, that
I've ever met. He brings a light to a room that always makes me happy!

This little boy has the most sparkling eyes and bright smile. He loves people and radiates happiness wherever he is! He makes me a happy Grandma!!

We had dinner and then played games....and visited...mostly visited!
I love having my kids and grandkids gathered around....for any and every occasion!

Jack and Todd took a few of the cousins for a "paddle boat" ride down the river!
What should have been a 40 minute ride, took well over 2 hours....low water, big rocks and 
a broken boat make for a VERY HOT and LONG ride...BUT they were troopers!! 
Jack and Todd won the "favorite cousin" award for the day!!


Fifty years is a long time, and I am sure mom and dad have had many ups 
and downs that made them wonder if 50 years would ever come...I'm so glad they 
fought through the rough times, the hard times, the sad times and made it to the "Golden Years"!
They have set a wonderful example for me, for my kids, for my grandkids and I hope to 
one day be the kind of person that they have set the example for me to be!
I love you mom and dad! 
Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary!!!
