Happy 70th Birthday Mom!

Wasn't mom the cutest little girl!

All of you that know mom know that she's pretty close to a saint. She's one of the most selfless people I know. If you say you like something of hers she says, "Here...you have it." Like at a restaurant if you say, "Mom, that steak looks good," next thing you know half of it is literally being tossed on your plate. John once told her he like beef jerky and every since then when we visit mom has bags of it for him to eat. She knows I love butterscotch squares from Sees and when we visit there's always a box of them next to our bed. John always jokes that we should tell her we really like money!!

Having 10 kids she was pregnant for over 7 1/2 years! Let's not even talk about how many years she nursed. Mom, you've given us much more than your womb. Thanks for making us all feel like we were the most important child to you. Thanks for always taking the time to take interest in our lives when we call. You've been a great example of living the gospel and that's one of the most important things you could have done for us. We love you!

We wish we could be with you on your birthday but I can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks for our birthday bash with just the girls!

Happy Birthday to Corinne too. We are thinking about you!

Happy Birthday Dad!

All of us kids wanted to wish you a happy birthday. You are a such a loving dad. You've shown us how to work hard and play hard. There's no way you are 74! You look so good! We love you,

The kids

Congratulations Chris and Celeste!

Chris and Celeste were married in the Mesa temple on November 16. The Gossling family is really nice and they had a beautiful reception. We wish you the best!
Love,
Grandma and Grandpa

Our AnniversaryTime in Sedona and Anniversary Dinner at Susan's and Brent's Home

Gary and I had a wonderful time celebrating our 50th anniversary from the first of October to the middle of November. We took off for Sedona, Arizona for a few days. We enjoyed the area where we went for our Honeymoon many moons ago. We hiked down to this spot by a stream where we took pictures and relaxed. The peaceful tranquil sounds of the small waterfall was so relaxing we spent sometime in this area and loved the time together. The few pictures you see here were taken in this spot.

Susan and Brent Had a Family Dinner in our Honor for our Anniversary at their home. It was nice. A delicious meal and a anniversary cake. Many family members were there. It was a great finale for our 50th Anniversary. Thanks to all that made this event a time to remember for Dad and I.

Happy 50th Anniversary Mom and Dad!

We've been celebrating this for the last month but the big day is finally here. Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad! All of us kids love you with all of our hearts! You have shown us the hard work, commitment, and love that it takes to get here. 50 years together is quite the accomplishment that few couples ever reach. We are proud of you! Love, The Kids

Hi family,
Your mom and dad are here in Sedona celebrating our actual anniversary date of November 8th. 50 years ago we spent our honeymoon in this exact location in fabulous Sedona, Arizona. We were so young and in love. 50 years later we are young at heart and still in love. We love you all. We have really been blessed with an awesome family.
Forever Young
