Grandpa's 80th Birthday

Grandpa Ray celebrated his 80th birthday. Patti decided to throw him a surprise party. Eric and I invited him and grandma to meet us at a park to have a "nice quiet picnic" little did he know that EVERYONE was going to be there!!! SURPRISE!!!! We had a terrific time and we hope he has many more birthdays to come! We can't imagine our lives without him! We love you!!!

Grandpa Ray's children Al, Debbie (Eric's mom), Shell, and Patti.

Our family with Kinsley's Great Great Grandma Seamons.

Kinsley LOVES her Grandpas!! She couldn't get enough of her Great Grandpa Ray!

The boys enjoyed playing football while the girls chatted.

Kinsley became fast friends with her cousin Kassie.

“I don’t want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with grass stains on my shoes from mowing Sister Schenk’s lawn. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor’s children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone’s garden. I want to be there with children’s sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived.”
