The cheesy one on the back row grew up to be a High School Seminary teacher...amazing he even grew up at all. With 4 big sisters who would dress him up as the Avon Lady, I'd say he did pretty well despite all of his sisters.
The oldest of us just retired from the Sheriff's department.
All 3 of my sisters are Mom's and now Grandmothers. We've all been blessed enough to have been stay at home moms. My oldest sister and her husband will be leaving for Palmyra, New York soon to serve an 18 month mission for our church.
My parents have been gone for over 8 years now. They were great parents.
What a wonderful picture, they look like such joyful people. Your family looks like lots of fun to be around...like I know you are!
ReplyDeleteAww thanks Ginny.
DeleteWhat a beautiful family! Our family was rather well balanced, I have 4 brothers and 4 sisters, so none of my brothers were overwhelmed by the girls.
ReplyDeleteI bet that "cheesy" brother makes an amazing teacher though! They definitely take a special personality to be an amazing teacher! :)
I didn't know you came from such a large family...yay for you!
DeleteWhat a great family photo, Ms. Becky. I only have one brother...but Jack comes from a family of 8...5 boys and 3 girls!!
ReplyDeleteYou came from quite a large family. I have 4 brothers and sisters and I thought that was big. I can see the resemblence in the sister closest to you. If you put glasses on the other ones, I could see it then too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful family you have.
ReplyDeleteSeveral people want to know what the white stuff is on the flower pot, so I have e-mailed my DIL. I will let you know as soon as she tells me, should be today. Thanks for your interest!!!
ReplyDeletehaha I laughed so hard with the "Avon lady".. poor brother. We are 6! 5 girls and the youngest is the only boy... you can guess why we reached six ;-)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo.... you have such a beautiful family. The smiles all show an authentic happiness and love-filled relationship :)

Wow, Becky Jane, what a sweet family you grew up in. I know your parents must have been so proud to raise such fine children. They inspire me!
ReplyDeleteNice photo. Beautiful family. I enjoy looking at family photos. I had one brother and two sister. My brother came out pretty tough with our help of course.
