My Dad recently turned 50!!!!  Mom had a birthday party for him at the house.  All the grandparents came in for the celebration as well as many family friends. 

Mom and Dad posing for the camera, Dad’s eyes are closed, very typical.

Dad having an excellent time singing to himself!  He was in the kitchen “practicing” lighting and blowing out his candles.  We took that as a hint that he was ready for cake.

Grandma (not looking at the camera), me and Kendelea.

Now Grandma, this would have been a nice picture if you were not elbowing me!!!

Me, brother John and Carrie

We grew up with Carrie and her brother Josh (not pictured).  Our families moved to Alabama together from South Carolina.  In his school us “kids” became very close as we navigated our new school together.  We have been in Alabama for 12 years now and John & Carrie are actually roommates.
