GRANDPA'S 90TH

On July 13th my grandpa Pence turned 90 years old!! For his birthday, my mother put together a great little reception for him! It was cute to see how many people came over to wish my grandpa a Happy Birthday - he had a big smile on his face the whole time! I'm sure my gramps is very grateful to mom for putting it all together!

Grandpa, way back when...

My grandparents were married for 56 years before grandma passed away - they shared the same birthday...July 13th.

This was at Adam and my wedding...the photographer was having a hard time getting grandpa to smile, so he said, "Marion, I need a smile...come on, just think of your wedding night!" and my grandpa, replied, "I am!" and we all busted up laughing!!

My mom had a nice buffet for the guests to enjoy...I know this is going to be random, but as I was looking through the pictures, I saw this one of my brother, Aaron and instantly had the thought come to mind of him saying, "Are you telling me you want MORE BBQ!!" and I just started to laugh!! You can see it right?!? So, I had to share this picture (no offense Bud)

My grandpa was a bigtime fisherman back in the day, so my mom thought of a great saying for the cake!

Grandpa was also in the Forest Service and had a great time visiting with old forest service friends!

...and as we were all cleaining up after it was over, the stage curtain opened up, and the great grandkids all belted out "Happy Birthday" to grandpa...it was great!
