A Day in Indee

Today we made a trip to Independence to Grandpa Edward's house to have an early celebration of his birthday. His birthday isn't until October 7th, but this weekend worked out for everyone to get together, so we had a party for Grandpa. He told me today he will be 95 on his birthday!

We had a nice meal to celebrate the day, and then got indigestion as we watched the Packers stink it up on the field! UGH! :-)

~~~

Of course, when everyone was together, it was a perfect time to get family pictures!

Here is Grandpa Edward with his Great-Grandchildren--

Andrew, Bradley, Austin, Carter, Grandpa, and Abby~~~

And the rest of the bunch (thanks to "Photography by ABZ" for the picture!)

couch: Nicole, Chad, Grandpa, Shana, Jamie

floor: Deb and Ken

The only thing missing in our pictures, was Meme sitting by Grandpa's side. It seems strange to be at Grandpa's house without Meme there, too. :-(

The kids went to play outside after dinner. Grandpa Ken took them to his house to get Grandma Deb's scooter--always the highlight of the visit! They all took turns driving around the neighborhood...

Just kickin' back...

And when you can't decide whose turn it is to ride...

good thing they all have small butts!!!

Carter and Bradley played some soccer in the yard with their mom, too, while they waited for their turn on the scooter...

It was a fun day in Indee! Happy Birthday, Grandpa Edward!
