Family
As some of you may know, I come from a family of eight children. As I have recently given birth to ONE child, I can honestly say that eight is A LOT of kids. I feel so blessed to have come from such a wonderful family. We have so much fun when we are all together. Oh, sure.. there are the usual squabbles, teasing sessions and the occasional outburst- but when all is said and done, we love each other. I was rooting through some pictures from the past, and I came across these gems. (Mom- I know these are your ONLY copies of some of these pictures, and YES, you'll get them back someday. Wink, Wink!)
I feel especially lucky to have 5 sisters. Wow! I hope Whitney gets the same-- that's right Bart-- only 5 more girls to go! We have so much fun together. I am sure my dad wondered if he would EVER have a boy. So- here are some fun pics from the past. Enjoy!
Check out how professional this picture looks.I love the two Sunshine Generation dresses worn by my two oldest sisters. (Yes, I'm the one with the straight-blonde hair in the front.)
May 1983, 5 girls.. so far!(Yes, I'm the ragga-muffin who needs a hairbrush.)
I distinctly remember this night.We dressed up Juliana to look as fat as she possibly could.
This is Cara. She LOVES, LOVES, LOVES pictures- so I included one of just the two of us.I love you Carebear!
Here is the first boy, Brett. He is now at BYU.Apparently the two of us look alike.
This is Stephen, my youngest brother. I was 15 when he was born.Here he is with Bart at our reception.

ok- wasn't the first one taken by a photographer? why didn't he notice that half of my face was covered by your head? and yes I would've noticed the same thing had someone else's head been half way covered! When did you take these pictures??? I didn't know we could just go and take whatever pictures we wanted!!! I will definitely have to do that. Although I'm sure Annette, and now you, have already beat me to it!
So both of my older sisters were in Sunshine Generation too!! I used their dresses as halloween costumes for years once I finally fit into them! We had this huge cardboard sunflower that had a hole for my head to fit through ... so I really want to find those pictures. :) Thanks for the memories!
Thanks for the fun pics. Do you have more? Add them to your blog.
Fun pictures. I love the fat suite. What brilliant idea. That could be a really good Halloween costume.
What a great family! I love how happy you all look! and I didn't realize you were a brunette... did you just get lighter as you got older? I used to be blond, blond, blond. Until maybe 2nd grade when I started to go brown. It is fun to wonder if our baby will be like that.
