An exciting week for my family
Sorry for being away this week. It’s a big week for us. My family is visiting, touring our new home, spoiling my babies, and celebrating my youngest, who is turning one Saturday.
Not only are my parents and two of my four siblings here, my 95-year-old great-grandpa and grandparents stopped by as well. So for a couple of nights I had five generations under my one little roof.
You’d better believe I’ve been taking photos and videos up the ying yang. As well as working on a special project I’m excited to share! I never realized how fun it could be pulling memories and stories from the minds of my family predecessors.
More details soon. But for now, here’s a look at where I came from (and where I’m going).
From left to right. My daughter, myself, my mom, grandmother, and great-grandfather.
Who is your oldest relative?

Oh my goodness, I can’t wait to see your project. It’s going to amazing, I just know it! Be sure you include some question ideas… I’ve been talking to my grandparents about interviewing them for years. Maybe this will inspire me to actually do it! Still can’t believe she’s your grandma, she looks SO YOUNG. :o)
I have been trying to figure out a way to document family history, which was inspired by your post on this blog being a gift for you kids…if this is a project along these lines, I may die from happiness…lol.
My oldest living relative is my maternal grandmother.
Oh wow! You guys gotta tell me what you are all eating because you look so fantastic and youthful! I can’t believe that’s your grandma and great-grandpa, God bless you all and BTW you look great in your new hairstyle. Best!
They do look so young! I hope I enteritis their youthfulness!
So funny, it does look like I cut my hair, but it’s just pulled back into a poofy bun. Nice to know I could rock a short hair style though 😉
How fun!!! That’s so great to have all the generations together under one roof!!
Whoa…hold up, did you cut your hair? I cut mine a while ago….I have ethnic hair type 3b/c curls and I still have not gotten the courage to take a photo of it yet….well, it looks good on you…rock it ma! Lol!
Haha. No I didn’t cut my hair it’s just pulled back into a poofy pony tail. You’re so sweet though!
Wow! So so fun! Gorgeous women run in your family. Are all these generations LDS? Fun to know your family histories. We find out interesting things all the time- good and bad!:)
Beautiful family and what a treasure for your children to experience so much history under one roof! I’m sure your special project will be amazing.
Love this. I’m all about family history and legacy and seeing many generations all together always strikes me as something really special. Can’t wait to see what you’re creating!
You look so much like your mom! Just beautiful. 🙂
Thank you so much!
Jen, I’m on a plane (Delta has great WiFi, woohoo!) and your comment about “ying yang” almost made me laugh out loud. You crack me up, girl!
But in all seriousness, what a TREASURE to have that many generations together. Get out that camera and go to town.
