Grandpa Farmer's 80th Birthday Party!

The main reason for out trip to White Bird was to celebrate my grandpa's 80th birthday. My dad has told us since Christmas that we needed to be there for the big event. We had a lot of his family come, including his sister Alice with all of her kids: Bill, Kateria, Ryan and Travis. Also my cousin Shelia and her family was there: JJ (husband), Beth, Becca and Kit Kat (nickname!). My other Aunt and two cousins with their families couldn't make it, but we really missed them. We had a party planned at my parents house (to be held outside), but with this beautiful weather, we had to move it to the IOOF Hall in White Bird - a happening place. It actually turned out to be a great party with lots of food, music and just fun. We were glad to be there to help grandpa celebrate. (Sorry for the massive amount of pictures, but I don't want to add them in later.

Owen learned how to get the root beer out all by himself. He kept coming over to me with cups full of it. It wasn't until I watched him closely that I figured out what was going on.

Looks like you had a great time! You look beautiful, April! And your brothers look exactly the same! I just found out that the toddler gym has closed for the summer, but will be up and running again in the fall (dangit!).

You guys are too nice! Thanks - Kim, I'm sad that the gym is closed. We will be coming down to go to the zoo sometime. Maybe Tania will be at her in-laws and we could all get together!!
