Grandma Bea's 100th!

The second Saturday in March we had a big celebration for Casey's Grandma's 100th birthday.  Grandma Bea raised her family here in Springfield. served in the church for all of her life, and is now living in a nursing home in Eugene.  She is a truly GREAT lady and even though she doesn't always recognize us, we hope she felt loved!  This picture that Charlotte is standing next to is probably the last time we've seen Grandma Bea play the piano.  The Westover's musical heritage comes directly from her.  Music makes Grandma Bea who she is.  Even at 100, and with seriously failing faculties, she recognizes the church hymns and can even start them for us...right on key.  I am so grateful that my girls have her in their family tree...and that they get to visit her often.  I hope they will always be proud of their heritage.

Here is Casey with his Grandma.  His fondest memories are of birthday parties at Grandma Bea's house.  Apparently, she always had a birthday dinner/celebration for each one of her grandkids' birthdays.

All Lydia wanted to do was hold Grandma's hand.  The funny thing is that Grandma Bea didn't want to let go when it was time for Lydia to leave.

There were over 100 people there...but this is most of the Westover clan (that came from Mel).  All of Casey's siblings either flew in or drove in for the big day!  It was an awesome weekend!

These are the handsome Westover men!  My girls are obsessed with their uncles!  (Especially uncle Jeremy...he's just as crazy as their dad....he's the one in the other blue shirt.)

Finally, here is week 11...kind of a boring week really (after the last few weeks of crazy) but sometimes boring is good!
