On August 18, 2014, Chuck and Dianne will celebrate 60 years together. We want to honor this grand occasion over the next year by sharing memories made as a family. Please contribute by adding any memory you have of the family, doesn't have to be specific to mom & dad (grandma & grandpa). Add as much as you like and make them as short or long as you want! Think traditions, trips, girls weekends, holidays, summer nights on the patio, weddings, babies, funny stories... you get the picture! Let's remember the legacy that Chuck and Dianne have created!

Please state who is documenting the memory on the first line of the post. Thanks!

Best Grandma Ever

Mom has always been the best grandma ever.  She is just there in the little moments and the big moments.  She is the snuggler, game player, noodle maker, book reader, puzzler, play goer, and everything else in between.  She loves her grandkids and great grandkis fiercely.  And they all know it.  

























Mom has watched my kiddos quite often.  In 2014 at almost 80, she took Gabbie and Liam for 9 days while I went on a work trip!  I could barely keep up with my 2 and 5 year old!

Some of my kids favorite memories are at grandmas. Gabbie has made it clear we can NEVER sell Grandma's house!  She will buy it and live in it before she will let us sell it.  























She is just always there.  Our solid support.  And I am so grateful my kids have the best memories of her!

Mom Best Friend and Constant Support


Mom has always been my rock, my solid support.  She would defend me to my siblings when I was a brat, begging me not to make her a liar.  She believed in me when I didn't believe in myself.  

During a particularly tough break up, she actually drove up to SLC and stayed a weekend with me at my apartment.  I mean, mom drove on the freeway just to be with me.

And she was right by my side for every big and small event.

Mom Tickling


Mom is the best foot tickler on the planet.

Pretty sure this is Janet in 2018 making mom tickle her foot!

Memories from Sam


 I love the film strip from my mom's wedding where the cousins each got a pic with Grandma acting goofy. I keep it on my desk at home and it brightens my day!


It was so special to have Grandma (and everyone else from the fam!) there for my wedding! It wasn't easy travel so it meant a lot that she was able to make the trip.




I wanted to share a memory from the family reunion in 2017 when Lucas got to meet everyone. I was hoping to find a picture of him talking with grandma and getting to know her. This was all I could find. I think it still represents her and the goofy family she raised and Lucas got his first glimpse into the Tate family madness that we all love so much!
