50th Anniversary

Grandma and Grandpa Cox (Jared's maternal Grandparents) had their 50th Anniversary on Friday, August 14th, 2009. Linda and the family put together a really nice dinner and dancing party for them at the Forman's house. Grandma didn't want Linda to go through the work of putting the party together, but she finally gave into the idea of it. I am sure glad she did because it was a lovely party and Grandma and Grandpa Cox are the sweetest people. They are truly the salt of the earth. We feel so blessed that they are alive and in good health because they mean so much to us. We look to them as examples and feel blessed to have our children get to know them. Grandma Cox has made the kids blankets and a few dresses for Hope. Hope now thinks every blanket and dress that she owns was made for her by Grandma Cox. She blesses them in her prayers every night and gets excited if we are going to see them. One day Jared told Hope that we were going to see them when we got in the car, and per usual he was teasing. When she found out that we weren't going to the Cox's house she immediately was in tears over it. "I want to see Papa Cox, I want to see Papa Cox!" was her plea. Anyway, here are some pictures of our family at the event:
