This family picture was taken today at Shanas home. Troy and Kori came home last night from living in Florida since April and we're so happy that they're back. I hate when someone is absent when we get together. We now feel complete again. I remember when we used to all congregate over at Grandpa and Grandma Pynes home. Grandpa would always ask us why we had to leave so soon even though we'd been there for several hours. He hated to see us go. Well that's how Rog and I feel when our kids have to leave us. The times we share together mean so much. I always look around at each one and think how blessed I am to have them in our life.
We were going to have a new family picture taken this fall but now we've decided to wait since it would be out-dated in March when Kori and Troy have their baby. So come this spring we'll have something professional taken. In the meantime we just take these cute pictures with our self timer cameras.
I want my kids to know how much I love them. How proud I am of each one. The happiness they bring to our family is unmeasurable. Sometimes it gets a little rowdy with the kids screaming and running around but that's what family is all about. The more the merrier. I'm so excited to have another little one added to our family.
We celebrated Kori's 27th birthday today even though her birthday is tomorrow. Happy Birthday Kori. Two weeks ago was Jakes 26th birthday. I'm so glad that Troy and Kori are home now and can get on with their careers and get ready for their new addition.
Do I not have the best looking family around? Seriously.. : )

Yup, that is one good-lookin' family! I see happiness on every one of those faces! What a blessing it is to have an eternal family!!!!!!!!!
Chris, I totally agree, your family is SO good-looking!! And your grandkids are so cute--I can't get over those pictures on Shana's blog of them. I'm so happy you get to be all together, those are the most happiest times of all.
Family pictures are always soon out of date, It's hard to know when to take them. We are ready for one now that Connor is here so we gotta get busy and organize ourselves. Welcome home Troy and Kori !!
The happiest times of life are when family is all together! I look forward to our next family reunion!
Chris, I left you a message on Shana's blog...Sorry you are working this week-end.
Great picture. The smile on Rogers face totally reminds me of Grandpa. You do have a very good looking family that is so true!
Happy times!
