Celebrating 65 Years!

This year we took an extended trip up to Michigan to celebrate Grandma & Grandpa Norton's 65th wedding anniversary. There was family in from all over the country so we made a summer vacation out of it. We all had so much fun...family gathering after family gathering. The kids don't know what to do with themselves now that we are home and alone again. They loved meeting new cousins, playing with familiar cousins and being spoiled with plenty of summer treats. We loved celebrating Gram and Gramp and their years together and catching up with so much family! It was a great trip!

Ice cream cones on our first night.

Griffin and Morgan.

She is such a ham....especially when ice cream is involved.

My two munchkins.

This about sums up the weekend--running and playing outside with cousins.

Pure joy on their faces.

Sydney showing off her cupcake jammies.

The handsome Harris brothers.

Three little munchkins enjoying morning cartoons in Uncle Nate and Auntie Christa's bed.

Food set up at the big 65th Anniversary bash.

The Eule's.

The couple of the hour. So beautiful.

All dressed up and ready to party!

Outside trying to get this girl to crack a smile.

Gram and Gramp and the grandkids in attendance.

Grandma and Grandpa with their 4 kids and spouses.

I have no idea what this face is.

The Harris clan....being bribed with smarties. Sigh.

They are totally worth celebrating!

Having fun at an outdoor picnic party later that day.

Monkey.

A favorite summer past-time: Hill rolling.

All the little cousins.
Hill rolling...again...or Syd's case more like scooting and falling.
The ladies.
Nate, Jason, Chad, Robbie and Rob.
Just recently Gavin got a whole bunch of mosquito bites on his neck. They were bothering him so bad, he was waking up at night. Apparently, he got wind of mosquitos being out....and this is how he fought back and played the rest of the night.
Seriously....the.rest.of.the.night.
Sidewalk chalk fun at Gram Norton's.
Baby of the party...Miss Kierstyn Schwier.
I love them.
Summer baby.
Grandpa Norton and Aunt Gen.
The Norton clan.
Yep, they are hot stuff.
Kids pyramid!!
And so began the wrestling...
....which never ended.
Pool time (after our therapeutic listening of course)!
There is no better place in the world for these three than together in a pool.
Gracie, Grandpa and Sydney.
Check me out!
This was the start of their train.
Angela, me and Christa.
This girl and her feet. She will sit and brush her feet off for ages. The tiniest speck of dirt on them requires quite a lengthy cleaning process. All the time.
Happy belated Father's Day Papa!! We love you!
