FAMILY

We made a family trip to San Diego because my dad was finally getting married. We flew down Wednesday, June 9, 2010 to be there for all the festivities. We stayed with my best friend, Lisa. Thanks Papa Joe, Lisa, JJ and Kai for letting us invade your home. Love you guys!

Thursday, June 10, 2010 my dad and his fiancee, Geri, planned a dinner at their house in Riverside. We got to spend time with family and meet & get to know Geri & family. Geri scheduled a photographer to come and take photos of all the families. Which are below. They turned out beautiful.

Thank you dad & Geri for the dinner and the hospitality. We love you!

Just a little background. My dad has 11 children. Yes, you read that right, eleven. Two of our sisters are not pictured below because they were unable to make it. Shannon & Karleen. Shannon & her husband, Allen, have 8 children. Karleen & her husband, Donald, have 7 children.

Therefore, at the current moment, my dad has 38 grandchildren just from his 11 children. Including 2 more on the way. That will make a total of 40 grandchildren. Plus he has 3 great-grandchildren and one on the way. That's a lot of children! Anyhow, at the dinner there were 23 grandchildren on father's side all under the age of 9. Pretty crazy, huh?

We love our family!
