Show and Tell

So, most of the people who read my blog are people from my side of the family, people I grew up with, people who have known me for a long time...so those people don't know the other side of my family, John's family. This post will highlight this wonderful family I married into, give a face to the names I talk about :)

On Everett's blessing day we had all the family together which doesn't happen all that often, so we hired a good friend in our ward, a former Salt Lake Tribune photographer to take some awesome family photo's :)

This is Lane and Debbie, the parents of my sweetie-kins and seven other kids

This is the WHOLE family :)

This is Lane and his SIX sons :) Left to right: Jared (youngest-14), Joseph, Lane, James, Jeremy, Jeffrey, and John (yep all their names start with a 'j')

ALL the boys

The ladies, Jenni, Debbie, and Jana. Jana Lives in the basement of Lane and Debbie's house where John and I live

ALL the ladies

All the siblings

Grandma and Grandpa with all the grandkids Seth, Phillip, Lia, Amelia, Everett, Jacob

Everett was SO sleepy, and it was CRAZY windy here at the park, but we could not get him to wake up for anything...I think this photo is cute, John laughs and says he looks kind of like Benjamin Button...creepy

The whole gang

James and Meikka's family, we spend a lot of time with these crazies, LOVE THEM so much, we go camping together, play games, shopping, and lots of hanging out and eating delicious food. They live 10 minutes from our house, and John and James are BFF's. Their kids are So hilarious and fun, and Miekka and I are kindred spirits because we both LOVE to find good deals. Jacob, Lia, James, Miekka, Seth.

This is Jenni and Justin's family, they moved to Nebraska last year and we miss them all the time. We spend labor day weekend at their crib in Sidney Nebraska. Jenni is the super crafty one who also is a stellar photographer. Amelia and Phillip are their kids, Amelia is a crack up---constant entertainment that one. We miss them!

And then there's us, our cute little family. Sigh. The wind was SO crazy, as you can see by my spastic bangs, I was ready to shave my head by the time the afternoon was over!

CRAZY BANGS!

LOVE this one!

At one point when they were taking pictures of the boys and I was sitting down on a bench with the baby, the photographer came over and said we had to take advantage of the wind blowing my hair OUT of my face instead of in it...lol

Anyway, that's the Lance clan. I know it's way late, but I will be posting about the blessing and stuff next time...don't judge me because I am an out dated blogger!
