Montana for Labor Day August 30 - September 1, 2014 |
|
We had the honor of celebrating 50 years of
marriage with Dan, Rose, and the whole family this weekend. It was a
lovely party and a great weekend. |
|
It was a beautiful day as
we flew in to Kalispell
|
|
Eric & Lucas at our barn | Lucas went with us on a walk to the wheat field |
Beautiful, eh? (You have to talk like that when you are so close to Canada!) | |

|
Cooper | |
Braden (Bubba to everyone unless he's in trouble) |
|
Coulter | |
Gus is working his charm on Eric now | Aubrey (Aub-dog) trying to run away with our friends' boat |
Amy distracts her by teaching them to make bracelets | Eric, taking a turn holding the little one |
Finally! Mom's got some room on her lap for Carter | He was a little ham once he saw the camera, what a cutie! |
Just a few of the vehicles it takes to have a Casazza gathering |
|
Eric & Larry at the house with Dan's place in the background | |
Ponderosa sunset | The boys always love to gang up on the porch, it's a beautiful spot |
Mark was freeing the wheat from the stalks - somehow the word threshing doesn't seem right. Shucking wheat? Who knows... |
Roselyn Casazza with Hanna Rose Casazza |
Out for a walk with some lovely ladies - Rebecca, Mary Beth, and Amy | Mark, showing off all the wheat he extracted |
Blurry shot of the moon | Cooper is out - he dropped where he stopped |

Here she is being grateful that our prayers for good health for Eric were answered - he had been coming down with a cold |
Mark, wondering if it's OK to eat yet |
|
|
I nabbed this great picture from Cami's Facebook of her and Mark | Rose with the second-to-the-youngest granddaughter, Aubrey |
Another great shot of Cami that I pinched from her Facebook | A very, very rare shot of Dillon actually smiling for a camera! I got this from Rebecca's FB page, good job Becca! |
These are the last of the pictures I skimmed from Facebook, but aren't they good ones?! |
|
All of the granddaughters with Grandma Rose |
|
Granddaughters posing... | And showing off the wrist corsages that Rose gave them |
Grandsons, not too happy to be called in from playing | A fierce foosball battle between Jeb & Mark drew a big crowd |
Beautiful Amy cuddling with Hanna | Friend Rita with Rose |
Leland Driggs cracking Dan and Jeb up | Patty with Rose |
April and Rose | Karen enjoying a comment from Rose with Rebecca |
Rose & Dan enjoying one of Larry's stories | But I think he went a little too far! |
Larry did a great job as emcee | Some of the Casazzas |
Some more of the Casazzas | Tracie looking especially pretty, sitting with Dillon who didn't run away from the camera this time! |

Old friends Larry and John, goofing off as always | |
Mick with his grandson Colt - see a resemblance? | |
The boys in age order: Larry, Dan Jr, Eric, Mark, Jeb,
Lucas, Dallas
|
|
There were as many as four pool cues going at once sometimes |
|
I HAD to capture this! J/K, I'm sure he does that all the time at home | |
Lucas is partied out! |
|
|
|
God does nice work, doesn't He? |
|
The end of the rainbow is right over Jeb & Amy's house on the hill. Lovely! |
