Group Pictures - Family Reunion

I couldn't be in these pictures, so I asked my ugly twin to stand in for me. (Seriously, I am NOT a pretty camper... just imagine me with a bag on my head, please?)

I posted this one earlier of all of Neenaw and Gran's 40+ children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren trying to decide on a good spot for a group picture, milling around, people trying to pack and leave, babies crying, campfire smoke wafting, wild hogs running indiscriminately through the campground... pretty messy.

Group Shot #1. If you want to know who's who, email me and I'll send you a diagram. I still find it amazing that all this came from Neenaw, Gran, and their two sons. Did Wally and The Beaver have this much offspring? I guess we'll never know.

Group Shot #2 - I don't like this one of me, just so you know. I liked hiding behind Brennan.

Then Mel had a good idea - let's get a picture of Neenaw and all her great-grandchildren. In theory, it was an excellent idea, one that made us all go "Awwwwww...". Too bad no one informed the kids. Here's Jen in the stripey pants, directing traffic.

Oh, the trauma! This is actually the best one - you can't see Xanden in any others. He's the one on the left, looking like he's kicking his cousin Jetta.

I love the way Camrynn and Rosalind are covering their ears for this one and the next one. Apparently all the crying was pretty loud.

Let's try naming these kids off: back row - Zane, Isabella holding Luke, Brennan holding Brook, Kiley holding Paisli, Harrison.
Middle row: Jetta, Cami, Stanlee, Neenaw with her hand on Xanden, Demeter.
Front row: Berkli, Rosalind, Carter, Dionysus, Laila. Missing from the picture is Jen's youngest, Sienna, who was taking a nap.

Seriously, I feel like taking a Valium after seeing these pictures again. :)

ALSO: We have boxes! We have newspapers! We have one application turned in at a rental management company, and another one to fill out and fax today! We have the bishop on the lookout for a house in the ward!

AND: Bri and Brennan left this morning for High Adventure (a Boy Scout thing for the ward boys), Harrison has Cub Scout day camp all week starting this morning, Bella has a hike Wednesday, preparatory to Girls' Camp later in the month... what was I saying about Valium?
