Granddad's 89th Birthday Party

On Friday, 2/26/10, my grandfather turned 89 years old and we celebrated his birthday on Sunday in Pearland with the family. Great weather, great food and great company!! Fabulous day all around.

Riley, April, Emily and Wyatt on Granddad's back porch swing.



Cousins playing - notice how they are color coordinated! Too cute and totally not on purpose.


The look of two guilty children - oh the trouble that Miss Riley and Wyatt are going to get into being so close in age - quite scary!!


Getting ready to say the prayer before our birthday lunch. Wyatt was very confused why we were holding hands.


Granddad and one of his sisters - Aunt Lois!


Tasting some queso - yummy!



Jacob was obsessed with Aunt Lois' chocolate pie - I mean OBSESSED!




The Pianist at work - check out that serious face.


Hanging out in the front yard enjoying the fabulous weather. Oh, and eating leaves.


I tried really hard to get a picture of the two of them looking at the camera AND smiling but no such luck.


Hey, happy boy!



Back inside for birthday cake and presents!!! Here with have the birthday boy with his oldest grandchild, his youngest grandchild and his youngest great grandchild - whew!


Getting ready to blow out some candles with his assistant, Riley.


Two assistants now - I am sure if Wyatt had a clue what was going on he would be helping also. Next year he will be all over helping granddad blow out his candles - all 90 of them!!



What a great afternoon in Pearland celebrating 89 years of health and happiness and many more to come!!! Love you Granddad : )
(notice the little girl's hand directing Wyatt on what to do!)

Wow - that's the biggest smile on Jacob's face in the picture with THE pie. He was definitely in love with that pie and so impressed by Lois!!!

For the record - in the picture of Riley on the piano, she was also singing. She takes everything musical VERY serious...dancing, singing, piano playing, etc. etc. etc. She's hilarious.

She's going to get Wyatt into so much trouble!!!
