Happy 60th Birthday to MOM

A very Happy 60th Birthday to my beautiful, wonderful Mother! We decided that her 60th birthday was the perfect opportunity to celebrate how much she means to us. It was so nice to see friends and family and everyone that has meant so much to my Mom and our family over the years. Thank you to everyone for making Mom's birthday so special!

 The open house was a great turn out! Mom had visitors from her 3 SISTERS.....

 her friend that was in her wedding......

 a friend from work.......

 a good neighbor friend......

 her niece....... (Mom was almost a bottle deep at this point and wanted to be sure that I got a picture of the sleeves on her shirt!!!) LOL

 good church friends... and many many more!!!

Chase seemed to be a big hit at the party and was passed around from person to person. Other than snapping his photo often (imagine that!), I really didn't see him all too much this day!

Pretty sure that Uncle Kevin was his BIGGEST fan!

 and Grammy (Great Grandma Gant) steals kisses every chance she can!

 Aunt Lisa gave Chase his first horsey ride!

 Chase hanging with Aunt MiMi (Jaymi) and cousin Jake - looking so grown up these days!

 And here smiling with cousin Ava.

 Lance was a bit overwhelmed by all of the people but also excited to have SOOOO many cool toys to play with. Josh and Dylan have THE BEST toys ever!

 And here is Lance and cousin Dylan having some fun outside.

It was a very short quick weekend trip for us - but as always so good to spend time with family. The boys spoil us to death and are AMAZING car riders. One stop around Des Moines for about 30-45 minutes is all. Not too shabby for a 6 hour trip.
