     sister, Stef, brother-in-law, Paul and nephew, Chance

Just look at the crazy red hat that Kevin and Kimi put together for me!

Sorry that it was rainy and cold - we ordered sunshine for the weekend, but didn't we have a blast anyway?! You all are my heart and so much a part of my life that it wouldn't have been a celebration without you. Thank you sooooo much for being here and bringing your crazy energy.

Secondly, I have to thank the Las Vegas branch of my family for suggesting that I celebrate here. Thanks to my brother Tim and sister-in-law, Megan - Great idea! Then, from the bottom of my heart, I have to thank my sister, Ginger for hosting the big shindig at her restaurant. The decorations, food, drinks and music were all amazing and so much more that I could have wished for! Look at this cake!

delicious cake and just beautiful!

The Wedge Brothers Band - Great music = lots of dancing!

I just couldn't finish my big drink - I did try!

Ginger even had a photographer at the event and I will be sharing those photos when I get them.

I am so grateful that all my daughters were here with their beautiful, amazing selves. I wanted a photo of the Beeson 5 all together, but I think the evening got away from us and we didn't get it done at the party. Maybe later today.

Finally, I have to thank my wonderful husband for his organization, chauffeuring, patience, love and attention. He makes it all happen and makes it all worthwhile. I love you, Ronnie B!

It has been such a good weekend - why did I ever worry about turning 50!?! So far, so good!
