Something to Celebrate...

90 Years old! That's right, my Grandpa Perry turned 90 years old yesterday. It's unreal to think of the cycle of life. Here surrounding him are a few of his great-grandchildren ranging from 1-11 years old.

Caleb really enjoys my grandparents. Thankfully he is super social and always happy to see them. So my Caleb was sitting by my grandpa saying "Happy Birthday!" Then my grandpa asks him, "So is 90 years OLD or YOUNG?" Caleb stopped and thought...then he shouted...YOUNG! My grandpa gave him an enthusiastic high five! Despite many different health challenges my grandpa has continued to modify his lifestyle and adapt to his challenges. The one thing I have always loved about my grandpa is he has remained up beat and always up for visitors. It's wonderful having them so close to us now in Herriman...I mean as if Riverton wasn't close enough!

We lucked out having my entire family there so I too advantage of having a family photo with my grandparents. My grandparents just returned from Portland Oregon for a family wedding. So since they just flew home we didn't end up celebrating a BIG PARTY yesterday. So we are waiting until this weekend. The cute request that my grandpa made was to have 90 CUPCAKES! It looks like we will all be baking this weekend!!! Happy Birthday Grandpa.
