This is my cute Dad on his mission
My parents back in the day
I love this picture of my grandparents. Grandma, you look awesome! I love it.
For some reason I love this picture. This is when Grandma was pregnant with her first baby.
And this picture of my grandpa looks EXACTLY like my Dad!
This is when my Dad got home from his mission. Man mom, look at you. You even got your nails done. You were workin' it.
Strike that. Uncle Glen...you were the one workin' it.
Those are some seriously sweet pictures!
ReplyDeleteBahhhahahaha! I have no words for that last one!! did you make cd's cause I never got one.
ReplyDeleteYour dad looks exactly the same!! Loved all the pics. Beautiful family pic too!
ReplyDeleteNo I haven't made the CD's yet. I still need to get a few hundred more pictures from Uncle Lynn's computer.
ReplyDeleteNo they weren't huge when they were born Kenden was 7lbs 1oz. It took him a good 2 months before he really started packing on the pounds. Tate was 8lbs 4oz and immediately started gaining! Tate was always off the charts. I had to warn people before picking them up. Even still they are so much heavier than they look!
ReplyDeleteFirst, Julie, you look GREAT in that family picture! Way way cute.
ReplyDeleteSecond, dad looks exactly the same, just with some "blonde" hair. And I totally wish he had that 3 peice suit still. What a treasure.
Third, I found that picture of Glen funny only because he's still exactly the same himself. If he could fit into that shirt I'm sure he'd still wear it. I can't wait to show him.
Julie you are awesome! Love your blog and love those fat babies! Too funny of Dane in that chair! Love all the oldies too, Lyn and Evan are still the same! LOL Love you
ReplyDeleteThat's actually my dress your mom had on and I don't remember her asking me to wear it!!!!! No, wait......I think that IS me!!!
ReplyDeleteCute pics!
Sorry Jan........it was my outfit and that's Lyn!!! LOL
ReplyDeleteWe were glad to get to see you this trip, even if it was only for an hour or so. We look forward to your next visit.
ReplyDeleteYour family portrait is so cute!
ReplyDeleteOh my my my. Those were the days. . . . . . What a fun post! We simply must get together to finish the picture project. I thought that flash drive of mine would hold a million pictures, so I started downloading all the pictures from our computer, but, you guessed it, now the flash drive is full and there are still lots left to download. So I don't know how we want to handle putting all the pictures in one place. Actually, Uncle Lynn is looking for an external hard drive that will hold the entire world. That should about do it.
ReplyDeleteOkay I'm obviously in your archives because I just found this blog, but I LOVE LOVE your gradmother's outfit! and your uncle is hilarious!!!
