A full weekend of making memories with family

Whew! A Lynden trip with a birthday party for Vance's Grandma Jule and my Grandma Alma, a family dinner at the Jansen Art Center, a Grand Opening at the Jansen Art Center, Vance's company picnic and a lot of kid fun! I still didn't get to see everyone I wanted to see! But seeing probably 80 out of the 120 family members I had hoped to see isn't bad!


 Papa Stan and Grandma Adie with the grandkids!

This has been a BUSY summer, with lots of fun!!
We will make another trip to Lynden to try to see some of those we missed.

To be honest, I am ready for about two days of nothing. Just relaxing... no loading up in the car, no running from place to place... Maybe next summer! :)

Today Vance and I celebrate our 14th wedding anniversary!!
Happy Anniversary to a great guy! I am so thankful for these years together and I hope we get MANY MORE!
