This whole summer has been crazy fun and filled with so many events. I will start with May to keep things condensed. In May we celebrated J.D.'s grandma's 100th birthday! We had a huge party with so many wonderful memories and people who have been in Grandma Marjorie's life.
Grandma was born into a family with 9 children. Here are the last living 4, Bernice, Don, Phyllis, and Grandma in the chair.
Granda looked so beautiful and was so excited to see everyone.
I think she was getting tired of all the pictures, but you never know when it will be the last one you'll get.
I've never had a picture with me and Grandma before, and I've been a part of the family for 8 years. She is such an amazing person and I'm so lucky I get to visit her every day. My kids get to know her and get to make so many memories just by living in Holden.
This is kind of backwards, but we had a little celebration with just J.D.'s family for Grandma on her actual birthday.
And of course all the kids had to help blow out the candles!
One of my first memories with Grandma that I told at her birthday party, I was asked to go get lettuce out in the garden. I went out to the garden and just searched and searched. I didn't grow up with a garden, nor did I know what to look for other than a 'head' of lettuce. I couldn't find any heads. I finally thought to ask Grandma knowing she wouldn't make fun of me for not knowing what lettuce looked like. So I went in, asked grandma, and she walked me out to show me what lettuce in a real garden looks like. Thanks to her, I didn't have to look stupid in front of J.D.'s family for not knowing what lettuce looked like in a garden.
Happy 100th Grandma Marjorie!
