COOL PARENTS

This is to let everyone know even if we are "old" we can still read large print and can still spell (for Jen as Cal said she did all the misspelling on the first announcement).
We want to thank everyone for a fantastic weekend and everyone seemed to get along and enjoy each other's company. That was a terrific 50th for us.
The picture is right where your Dad wanted it and the way he wanted it and looks great. Ken Jones really liked our castle and when Colleen told him it was the Salt Lake Temple he even liked it better.
Susan needs to know that Vashtia reads her frame of pictures with, "FIFTY YEARS TO GET HER" and I like her interpretation.
The announcements are working, we receive candy from someone everyday. Maybe I will put back on the weight I lost last winter.
Again "Thanks" to everyone

family reunion 2008

Hi everyone
Thanks to Holly I am back on the blogger list and able to post. Here is the web site so you can check out the location for the family reunion on the weekend of July 19th, 2008. It is http://www.vallecitolakechamber.com/ From there can look under accomodations and a list of place to stay is listed. We are looking to book at the Five Branches Camper Park because it looks like it has something for everyone. Tent, RV (that would be mom and dads hot rig), and cabins with a variety of levels. Discuss among yourselves your own needs and book it accordingly, sooner is always better than later. Last time I checked you could hold a place for pretty cheap. So DO IT now. Our plan is to go to Mesa Verde on Friday the rest of the time is up for grabs. I suggest if you want to do the train coming up a few days earlier, or staying on a few days later so you don't have to deal with the weekend crowd, once again book it early, because it fills up.
Love ya all and it was great to see everyone

Sedona

Hey I had an awesome weekend and thought i would share some of the pictures. I know that some of you already have the same pictures maybe better ones. But through the rain and mom and dad almost being stolen (j/k) and realizing that we all have a hard time being serious for pictures it was fun. these pictures are just some funny ones that made me laugh.

Thanks for a wonderful 50th Anniversary Get together. Thank you to everyone that arranged the weekend. We know it took a lot of effort and we appreciate you. We can not wait until the weekend of July 19th - when everyone can get together. My kids are already excited. They asked, "Are you sure we get to go". We said we did not know because it was such a nice weekend for Keith and I alone. When we told them we were kidding, and yes they are going; they were very excited. Thanks again for wonderful memories!!!!

Keith and Marie

50th announcements

Jen ordered the announcements for mom and dad. We made a list with mom and dads help and ask that you please let us know the address of your in-laws. You can either bring them to sedona or let me know i am trying to print the other addresses on labels. Also bring about 20 stamps aka a book of stamps so that val doesn't have to foot the bill on all the stamps you may have left overs but hey you can always use stamps later for a bill. Also if you know address of any of your cousins that would be great. Surprisingly mom doesn't have address to a lot of the cousins just phone numbers. Any way i looked on line and the weather isn't supposed to be too hot only in the mid 80's that made me excited!! Thanks for your help

Names for Temple

On the 21st please check with Brenna or myself for names for the session as we have a few names that need to be done. Thanks. Since we are doing a jeep ride just before the picture in Sedona I think we should be in casual clothes for the picture. So Mike send us a photo of you and Tina dressed casually and we will get it put together. Or you can wait and we will send you the photo and you can find a pose that fits. I have made reservations for diner on Friday at the same Marie Calendars that we ate at for the 40th anniversary. Let us know your flight plans and we can arrange car pools or an impromtu lunch.

School Project

Vashtia has a school project. It is for computers for education. She has to turn in 10 addresses. The company sends you a packet to buy magazines. You can just throw the packet away when it comes in the mail (like junk mail). The school already gets its money from the packet Vashtia fills out. Thanks for helping her out. Remember you do not need to do anything, but throw the junk mail away.
