MOM AND DAD'S 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
Mom and Dad celebrated their 50th on September 27, 2004. We threw a really nice party for them at the Stanger Memorial building in Iona on the 25th. We really had a nice night. However it all started long before that night. Jul got invitations for the party, Janece made arrangements for maniquins to display mom's wedding dress and us girls dresses. Mom purchased fabric and lace For Table cloths and I took care of table decorations and refreshements. We cussed and discussed this night for a year before it actually happened. On the Tuesday before the big night Shane drove me to Twin Falls and my best friend Nancy and her daughter Laura came and met us so that I could get over to Idaho Falls early. We grabbed something to eat in Twin then drove to Pingree to see Diane Fallis another friend. She has all of the Cake pans etc to do big cakes with so we borrowed pans from her and spent about an hour and a half visiting with her. Nancy, Laura and I spent the rest of the week making cakes, cookies, candies, corsage, and so on. Matthew was able to be available for the weekend so he drove over to Idaho Falls with Emily on Thursday. Shane and Phillip came over on Friday night, then Bill and Lenore some good friends of ours came over on Saturday.
We had the whole family there with the exception of Jarom, Julie's boy that passed away 2 years ago, Barton our son that was still born, and Shaniah James daughter that he gave up for adoption.
