Bob's Birthday Celebrations

Bob's celebrating for his 60th birthday began in Missouri. We surprised him with missionary friends and college friends. He couldn't believe everyone was there for a Mexican dinner together.







It was great to have our son, Matt, with us to celebrate too. Matt was the distracting factor to keep Bob away while we got ready for the party






When we returned to MI, our family came together to surprise Bob again. He had no idea we would celebrate a second time and was very pleasantly surprised to have a Lions party waiting for him! Of course, we ate Mexican, his favorite.


Bob got a Lions jersey with his age "60" and the year 19 51 on the shoulders. The back says "Bob is 60" too. He was so surprised!



Thanks to Robin, our dear friend, for all the decorations and Lions gear to decorate the room!








Bob was shocked to get a Lions football personally signed by Coach Jim Swartz!














Bette Sue's brother, Larry, wore his Lion's shirt to join in the Lions theme for the party. (Many of us wore Lions shirts if we had one.)

More graduation fun!

Great to be home with Matt for his graduation and to meet some his close friends. You did well, Matt!!!!!!





Bette Sue and Paula Nelson (MacDonald) graduated together and their kids graduated together too! We never would have thought this would happen, Eva and Matt!












Bette Sue got to connect with some of her Evangel College friends. They graduated in 1976. (Susan, next to Bette Sue on the right in the top row, graduated in 1977) We were part of the "5' 3" and under" club!
(Except for Sue Dahlager in the bottom picture in the pink top. We had lots of taller friends too!)

He did it!!!

Congratulations, Matt!!!!!!! Our son graduated from Evangel University on May 6, 2011. We were so happy to be home with him for graduation and some time to visit with him. We are proud of you, Matt!
