Family Pictures

On Friday morning, Daddy wanted to get a picture of all the grandchildren with him and my mom. This turned into a huge family photo shoot. Roy and I were loading the car because we had to come home that day, so we were both hot and sweaty (with no make up) and not dressed for family pictures!!!! Oh well! At least the grandchildren picture turned out cute:

I cannot even beging to guesstimate how many can of Orange Crush were inhaled the week of the beach. Leland brought a case for himself and when the kids saw it, they were so happy! Daddy went out and bought a few more cases. Every time I saw one of the kids, at least one of them was drinking an Orange Crush, so Daddy wanted each child to hold one in the picture. Yuck! Orange Crush is disgusting!!!


We got the grandchildren picture and then the other ones began. How did everyone else get the memo about family pics except me and Roy?!






We headed on down to the beach and found a nice man to take our entire family's picture:



Here is my sister, Dayna, and her sweet family:





Another family shot of the Logans:

Sisters! Nothing like it.




Me and my two. Roy Austin was a w-r-e-c-k that morning. Like his face?

That is is for beach pictures! Those posts wore me out!

Well, go rest, Donna.....you did good! All your pictures are so nice, and such good memories. Again, thank YOU for being the one to initiate all these fun things. I know the picture taking was a bit hectic (to say the least), and not everyone was in the know about what was going on (who actually was?), but it all turned out good. With the wind blowing, it didn't make much difference how we looked anyway. Good times, wonderful memories!! Thank you.

The picture of your mom and dad with all the grandkids would make a precious Christmas card for them. BEAUTIFUL grandchildren...

Donna, you go lay yourself down and take a much needed nap. You did a great recap of this whole trip.

I love beach pictures. All of them were so good. I do have to say, I chuckled when I saw the sisters pictures. Something tells me you all were being purposefully cheesy and fake laughing.

I've said it before and I'll say it again...your family all look alike. I'll bet it's so fun for your parents to see themselves in the grandkids. That little boy of Denise's looks JUST LIKE YOUR DAD!

Thanks for the entertaining posts!

I hope Dolly does a vacay post. It's always fun to see her perspective! C'mon Dolly!

Again, good post Donna! It's been 3 days since we've been back and I've yet to finish my post. I'll get working on it Angela, but it won't be as good as Donna's. :)

Donna, I am sitting outside Barnes and Noble on the LU campus using their internet service--picture me...beautiful day, drinking a beverage, sitting at a patio table under an umbrella! Danny is with ALL the children and they are at the post office.

Anyway, GREAT pictures! Who is that large beautiful family????? Just kidding. Hey send us some copies sweetie! Please????!!!!

I love the orange crush shot with the grandkids - thats super cute!(By the way - I totally see my dad buying the huge packs of orange crush for the grandkids) I also LOVE the ones of you sisters laughing.
