25th Wedding Anniversary

We went down to Brianne and Phil's house last night for Bill and Sandy's 25th Wedding Anniversary party. We had so much fun with everyone. We don't have a lot of family left around here but the ones that we do are fun to be with.

Retirement Party

We spent last weekend at Lloyd's retirement party over at Heidi's house. It was so much fun. It was a surprise party and he really had no idea so it was a lot of fun to see his face when he got there.
Lloyd and Marie. The food was so good. :)

We got to burn some of his ties from his working days. Jacob got to pick out which one he wanted to burn and throw it on the fire.

Alex and I in the kitchen.

Marie, Lloyd, Cliff, Heidi, Oma, and Jacob. The whole family!!!!!

We had so much fun at the party and the weather turned out to be really nice. Hopefully Lloyd starts enjoying his days off soon.

It comes to an end....

We had such a fun week in California. It is always so much fun to arrive and not fun at all to leave. It is such a bummer that we are all spread out so far. We really need to figure out how to get Illinois, California, Nevada, and Washington closer together. :)

Stefanie, Stacy, and Gimi. We are missing Tami and Kari. They are still in Illinois.

Stefanie, Peggy, Stacy, and Gimi. Peggy got to stay and visit one more day before she was heading back to Illinois.

The Herren family. They are so much fun to hang out with also. The kids all get along so great. The cousins really enjoy each other.

Once Peggy and Megan start crying it's all over. They make everyone follow. :)

Mike and Megan on the airplane heading home. They took their own picture.

Alex and I were sitting behind them. We had a fun flight home. Alex was in a weird mood and just kept laughing at everything.

We had such an awesome vacation and can't wait to get to see everyone again. Who knows where we will all meet next.

Thanks to Stefanie for letting us stay with them and to Peggy and Gimi for coming to visit us also.

See everyone again soon!!!!!!!!
