Lydia’s Cousins
I never had any cousins growing up. I don’t have any cousins now that I’m grown up, either. Lydia, however, has quite a few already, just on Keith’s side of the family.
I’m not kidding when I tell you Keith took 25 versions of this shot. I got a little cross-eyed trying to pick the best one, so I hope this one will suffice.
Confused? Let’s review a few at a time.
Calder (brown hair) and Grant (blonde) belong to Mike and Janice. They were already featured in the previous post, so I’ll give you a more accurate representation of their personalities here. Despite their silliness, they are always very sweet to Lydia.
Their older brother Chase graduated from high school a couple of years ago, and he works for Mike and Janice in their new business, Renegade Chemicals. He looks like one of those senior pictures found in a mall kiosk, don’t you think?
Next, we have little Cole, who is four and a half months younger than Lydia. Whenever I am tempted to think Lydia still has chubby cheeks, I can just look at Cole to set myself straight. What sweet cheeks they are! Cole is the son of Rick and Laura.
Rick’s son Mason isn’t quite ready for his senior picture, but this budding football star could certainly hold his own in a mall kiosk some day. We watched him score several touchdowns at his Mighty Mites football game last week.
Next we have Laura’s daughter, Sierra, who always has a sweet smile on her face. She is a very responsible young lady and a wonderful big sister to Cole. She proved herself to be very photogenic. Every picture of her turned out wonderful.
And how could I forget Christian, Brian’s son? You might have noticed that in the comments of the last post, he was wondering where his tree picture was. Christian has the gift of making people laugh. While Keith, Lydia and I were getting our family picture, he was making the tripod fly behind Ralph, who was taking the pictures. He cracks us up, and as you see from his picture, he cracks himself up, too.
There you have it: Lydia’s cousins in a nutshell. Not a bad group, if you ask me.
Mom says:
Lydia doesn’t have any cousins yet on our side of the family, so I’m glad she has such fun cousins on the other side. I enjoyed seeing their pictures.
Jen says:
It’s wonderful that you are all so close together too! I have cousins on my Dad’s side - a good handful - but we never saw them because we are all scattered
Janet Saxon says:
I’m so pleased for Lydia to be surrounded by family.. My kids only had 3 cousins and they never saw them as they lived all the way across the country. What a blessing these pictures will be someday.
Amy says:
How do you get your pictures on your blog? Mine are so tiny and little, and I don’t know how to correct that? Can you help?
Great looking family by the way!
