Floyd & Jeanne- "Twins"--Kaela & Kiara- Fellow bloggers, Diane T & Maxine
Part of the large amount of young people who were there. I'd guess maybe 1/3? or less??!Not even considering the large amount of under 5 & babies!!
Left to right: Jim, Lynisha, Trey & Kyrie, Ryan and Kayleen with Kara in front, Floyd & Jeanne with Kaela in front, Derek, Meshayla in front, Maxine, Morgen, Leon & Relyssa.10 of our children here this year!! We missed you Dalayna & Laura!! (Jana is not pictured)
By the way...Thank you kids once again!! I know how much you "LOVE" the routine of family group picture time. I wasn't going to ask you to do it this time, but it worked out, and with minimal stress... and I hope someday you will appreciate the effort as much as I do. I love you all!!
We had a very very wonderful, AND eventful convention!!
Two new "babies" in our family Sat. night, Morgen and Kara, along with 10 others in the room. (including one from this town, and a family member of a fellow blogger!!) What a wonderful sight!!
And, our oldest daughter Jeanne and Floyd announced their engagement.
More pictures & commentary to come.....
What an exciting & Happy time! I wish we could have been there!
ReplyDeleteAunt Maxine,
ReplyDeleteI guess this means you have the joy of shopping for the perfect Mother-of-the bride dress. I'd start shopping tomorrow... at the rate that they are pushing up the wedding date (1st it was December, now August)you better be ready ASAP! ;0) I've heard those things are hard to find. Felicity is 3 1/2and I'm thinking of beginning the search now. Better safe than sorry. I don't want to be stuck looking like a doily, a coroner or a wilted-flower-wanna-be! I'm going for the "I'm-so-happy-I-could-cry-but-I'm-not-past-my-prime-enough-to-be-caught-dead-with-a-hankie-up-my-sleeve" look, but that's just me.
Good luck, I'm ready if you need to call in extra troups for back-up. We aren't short on oppinions in this family.
P.S. NO lace-up shoes allowed (period)
Congrats, Grandma. And congrats on the engagement. Fun. What a great picture. So did you all color coordinate for this picture? What a great looking family.
ReplyDeletegood going sis!!!!!!MBS
ReplyDeleteRaimie~ ah yes...couldn't forget that experience, huh?! Thanks for the great laugh!
ReplyDeleteLani~I did color coordinate the 5 younger ones plus Leon & I. A few of the rest of them were chance.
Beautiful picture, Maxine. Ah, even the sandhills are green this year!
ReplyDeleteNice picture! And so glad to know abt Morgen and Kara!! I didn't get to hear who all professed - someone told me it was a lot of short ones, so I figured it was a lot of young ones. And that didn't take Floyd and Jeanne long, did it?! A lot has happened for you this last week, for joy.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures! I love keeping up with all the blogging! It's been quite amusing with all the whirlwinds! Guess we can't really say Jeanne and Floyd are in a hurry--they've known each other for how long--and with her schooling starting. I'm excited for them!
ReplyDeleteWow, you know what the coolest thing about that pic? The in-laws! :) And I'm serious. Its soo heart warming to see your family growing with people I've known for my or their whole lives. Shoot, even Dalayna married someone I've known since they were a baby! I think its great!!!!
ReplyDeleteHey we made it home about 12:30 am today. No tail-lights on the van so came home running the flashers. Got all the way back to our town so we could be stopped by the cop. At that time of the morning, the kids were sleeping all over the van. The cop took one look and thought " I won't go there." That was mercy because we could've been hung.

ReplyDeleteahh, you would have been fine Diane! Just a fix-it ticket and 7 days to get it fixed. No actual fine! (unless things are way different out there). :) Good to see you all again!

Gotta get to work!! I'll try to blog tonight. Goodness knows I have a bunch of stuff to do.
ReplyDeleteWe are so excited for Jeannie and Floyd! What a happy time for everyone. We are looking forward to more wedding planning updates!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on another engagement in your family, and congrats on Morgen and Kara professing! Antioch was lots of fun, I really enjoyed getting to know more of your family :)
ReplyDeleteRegarding your comment on Dalayna's blog about nobody knowing about Ryan & Kayleen's engagement...
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should've announced it on your blog!
Congrats on your growing family! It is nice to see your family picture.
ReplyDeleteOur's is growing also--Becky and Mark plan to get married yet this fall!
