Dean and Kathie's 40th Anniversary Party
We hosted a 40th Anniversary party at our house yesterday for Keith's parents. We had 30 family members here to celebrate the special day. The picture above is of the kids getting in on the party preparations. They are actually really good at shucking corn. We had 36 ears to shuck!

Trying to get a picture with all the grandkids...
It was tough getting all 9 children to look at the camera - we almost succeeded!
Soren was escaping!
Their gift was a family scrapbook. All of their children and their spouses wrote out their testimonies and presented it to them in this scrapbook.

The grandkids wanted Grandma and Grandpa to celebrate their anniversary by jumping in the bouncer
Kraig was clinking a glass just like they do at receptions
The kids got to jump with Grandma and Grandpa
Kaitlyn drew a picture of Grandma and Grandpa on the patio door with window markers. So we took a picture of them peeking through their pictures.

The first weekend in May we went on a campout with a group from our church and our good friends. The kids had lots of time to ride their bikes which they enjoyed.

Kaedyn enjoyed sitting by the fire. All of the other kids were asleep and she was still sitting by the fire.
