This past weekend we celebrated Grandma Joyce's 90th Birthday! It was a formal event, per Grandma's style. It was like a miniature family reunion, we got to see so many relatives that I haven't seen in a long time. There was a nice program where each of her kids and a couple of her brothers talked about some memories from their childhood or things she taught them. It was fun to hear some new stories about Grandma and learn more about Grandpa Rodgers, aka "Tuffy". Then of course there was lots of great food to enjoy!

Alyza, Caleb, and Abby. It makes me laugh because its true to their personalities: Not so happy, indifferent, and smiley.

Following the formal party, there was an after party at grandma's house for all the relatives, complete with Grandpa Fred's enchiladas and a money dive!

Cade and Blake letting Caleb and Abby test out the water.
Caleb joining in on the action. I just bought him a new swimsuit but we were too lazy to even put it on him.
I tried to sneak a picture of my mom from across the yard, but she noticed just in time.

Jared and Uncle Whit deep in conversation, with no idea they are being watched :)

The partying continued throughout the weekend. But as usual, no family get-together these days is complete without Cade or Conner getting sick. Luckily this time it was Cade and not nearly as deadly as the Johnson pandemic at Lake Mead Easter 2014. Two other kids also came down with this one, but its unknown how Cade caught it since he was no where near the sick children. I'm starting to think Cade is immuno-compromised.
