This will be the 2nd of a few posts covering our time in Texas the last weekend of July.
We started with photos at the hotel before our drive to the party at Circle R Ranch in Flower Mound.
Josh and Laura above.
My sister Kathy with her daughters and granddaughter.
The twins with their nieces (and my niece’s, too). One of Lana’s nieces is twin Leonard’s daughter. She’s in the white boots. For the record the twins had many nieces and nephews from their other sides of the family at the party, too, along with brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law and Lana’s Mother-in-law. Friends of Steve and Lana’s from Washington and friends from Leonard and Mandy’s church were also in attendance.
Our son, Josh, with his cousin Andrew. Andrew is Leonard and Mandy’s son, one of our nephews.
More niece photos!
Moisi and Nadia would be thrilled to see so many of their people together.
The siblings in order of birth starting with Kathy on the left and ending with twin Leonard who is the youngest by a few minutes. Two of our brothers were not at the party. Our brother Steve planned on being there but got sick at the last minute. Steve would have stood between our brother Tim and our sister Lana. Our other brother would be between me and Vera.
All the sisters with our dear friend Heidi. We all grew up in the same Russian Baptist church. Heidi has been a dear friend for years! She was also the twins Sunday School teacher about 55 years ago!!
My younger brothers, so dear to me.
The youngest and the oldest!
Nephew David and our son Josh, friends since they were toddlers!
Josh, nephews Lenny and David.
Our son with Nikki who is the daughter of Ken and Heidi. Our kids have been friends from birth! Nikki and her brother lived across the street from us in Huntington Beach back in the 80’s.
Our brother Tim and his dear wife Letty.
Dear and me with our forever friends, Ken and Heidi.
A huge thanks to Josh for being our ride the whole weekend and to Laura for so many great photos.
Next post will be as full of more photos including line dancing.

So fun! And you all look so ‘cowboyish’!
Gorgeous photos! What a great venue. Can’t wait to see the line dancing!
Oh My! I love the theme and all those boots!!! What a fun celebration!
I can’t get over all of the lovely photos. We never do photos like that. We also don’t have such a lovely big party either. I am so impressed. Sounds like you had a great time.
Texas is so many great things, and this birthday party reflect that so well! Cheers to y’all!
Just wonderful and precious… Beautiful Family.
What a great party — so good you could all be together. The line-dancing looks very Texas! What fun.
