Yes, we quite literally partied all weekend long with 3 big parties. On Friday, while family was getting into town, we got together at my mom and dad's house and celebrated Adam's 12th birthday!
Angie had a great time feeding Austin a cupcake. Anyone who has watched Austin eat, knows it was some good watching!
Saturday was the "main event!" My Grandpa and Grandma Callaway's 50th wedding anniversary. 
We started off the day with family pictures. Grandpa and Grandma (Lowell and Linda) with their children (back row: Vicki, Karen, Mark, Dena and front row: Sarah, Linda, Lowell and Angie).
Now add in all of their spouses! (Back row: Nate, Angie, Karen, Gary, Mark, Anna, Dena, Mike and Front row: Sarah, Tim, Linda, Lowell, Vicki and Dwaine) The rest of the pictures included posterity, which would be me, so I don't have those pictures yet.
Later that day we got together with extended family and long-time friends who traveled from Vegas, So. Cal, and even Oregon. We had a great time eating and enjoying one another's company. Ryan and Austin enjoyed playing the drums...
and playing with their cousins!

What great examples I have in grandparent's! Both sets have celebrated 50 years within the last year, and I am so grateful to each of them for the examples that they have been to me and for the love that they show their families!

We got together with the Schmidt side of the family to share his birthday and made ice cream sundaes. Uncle Blaine took the boys, yes Ryan and Austin, for a rock climbing ride in his Bronco which they loved!

Needless to say, we had a busy weekend, but loved celebrating and sharing these special events with those we love!
