the chosen faves

I promised you some pics from our family reunion, so viola! Here they are. These are not all of my faves. More to come later!

I'll explain as I go along ...

This is my mom, and her Uncle Paul. He's one of nine kids. My Grandma was the oldest of the kids, he's second oldest. He just had a stroke and isn't doing too well. :-(

My brother Larry, his Emily, and me. He's a studly, unmarried guy by the way. You know ... just in case you know someone who might be interested. ;)

My niece, Bree ... and her chewin' gum.

Paul, my cousin-in-law, if there is such a thing.

Aunt Carrie and I

Mom and Bree. And yes, she's my real mom, even though we look nothing alike! At least I think she is ... Hmmm ...

Nephew, Hayden (Bree's son). He's a ham!

Second cousins, Solomon Sam, and Maggie Mae

Getting ready to pray ...

Praying mightily....

"Amen" in sign language.

She prayed, and then left. Sometimes I think if I would just pray, and then leave it with God like she did, I'd be happier.

My Mom and her cousin, Myrna.

To be honest, I have a ton more, and some of the cutest ones are yet to come. But I didn't want to overwhelm you with my awesome photography. Ha! I'm totally kidding. What I mean to say is that I didn't want to bore you. Hope you enjoyed seeing some of my family. We're all as crazy as they come!!
