Families Are Forever

When we were in Utah this past summer, there was one day when my whole family was able to be together. Quite a feat, considering we live in Washington, California, Idaho, Utah and Missouri! My Mom arranged to have my cousin, Laurel, take pictures of our family. I just got a few CD's in the mail that contained the photos. These are some of my favorites, with the time I've had to flip through them so far. I'm sure I'll add more another day.

My sweet Mom and Dad who have been married for 39 years.

The entire Springer clan! Scott's family is on the left, my family is next, my Mom and Dad are in the middle, then there's Tiffany's family and Kara's family.

Kara, Scott, Tiffany and me. I'm the youngest of my siblings.

Me and my main squeeze.

This picture sure isn't great, but it'll work, I guess! At least they are all looking in the general direction of the camera!

That's my Brevan boy. He has serious sentitivities to the sunlight and can't stand to keep his eyes open when it's sunny. And then there's the fact that he could win a contest for being the most unphotogenic person alive. But I just love that silly, squinty face.

Then there's Miss Photogenic. I actually took this picture with my cousin's camera. Brynlie was playing with a flower when I snapped a quick picture. What an angel.
This is how she chose to pose for most of our family pictures. I kept telling her to stand up, but Laurel told her to stay just the way she was.

Laurel kept calling Lindsey "The Gap Girl" because she thought she should be in a GAP ad. Lindsey just radiates with happiness.
If they could just stay little . . .
Ryan and Logan have such a special bond. Logan loves to hang out in his Daddy's arms.

This is a shot of all the grandkids, right before we told them to have a race. From left: Logan, Ashlyn, Sydney, Aubrey, Lindsey, Brynlie, Bailey, Alexa, Brevan, Austin, Jayden, Lauryn, Brandon and Joseph. My parents ended up with 15 grandkids.

Darnit, now I'm just missing my family. My sisters are hanging out together tonight, because Kara's family is visiting Tiffany's family in Washington. How dare they be together without me! :) But I get to see my brother and his family in a couple weeks.
