100!!!!

This week has been full of celebration, and so it should be! Great Grandpa Denny is officially 100! Below is Grandpa DE & Fanny on his actual Birthday!

Not many people can say that they have a Great Grandpa- let alone one that is 100, still mowing his lawn, living independently, driving & has had the accomplishments that he has had in his life. We are truly blessed to have him in our lives, and learn his lessons directly from him.

Thursday the Ontario Chamber, many local businesses and the Cultural Center helped support this monument by hosting a party & an exhibit opening ( if you want to stop by, it will be open all month) - Over cake, many long time friends of DE's shared memories and talk as a talented country musician played music. He also dedicated a wonderfully written song to Grandpa, as Grandpa tapped his toes in honor.

The celebration doesn't stop there, though! Tomorrow is the real birthday bash with many friends & family coming in to town that we all haven't seen in way too long! More pictures & cheers to come.

Labor Day

One of the best things about this area is that you can go an hour any direction, and get the best country! For Labor Day Tyler & I met Lana & Marcus- ( Marcus had a bear tag) & it was a blast! Both of us came home relaxed & refreshed! Tyler, Lana & Marcus went out the second day searching for a good Bear & I went on an 8 mile walk.. which ended up being a hike! I let the curiosity get the best of me and reaaaally wanted to see what was at the top! Pretty good gratification!
This was the view:



It was a little chilly for the beginning of Sept. & Fall is starting to creep in! Time to search for some Fall decorations! :) Anyone have cute craft ideas? It's also Football/ Hunting Season which means my time might just be freed up a little!
Here are a few others of the weekend:

Grandpa DE is turning 100!




Currently, Grammy & I are busy preparing for something incredible, amazing & wonderful! My Great Grandpa Denny is turning 100 in a few weeks! Recently I made invitations for this wonderful occasion but I also wanted to share the invite with anyone who knows & loves grandpa! I will be posting more pictures as we prepare the exhibit at the Cultural Center & gear up for a party!
We are so excited to get to celebrate such an amazing man's first century with him & knowing him... he will be back out the Monday after his party working on his yard or, like last year, hand building a fence around 10 acres! :)
