our Rogers family photo shoot

The last time all of the Rogers family had professional pictures taken was in January of 2006 ... that was 4.5 years ago & 4 more grandchildren have been born since then ... so when we came to visit the fam this summer, it was the perfect time for a new Rogers family photo!

Mary found this amazing old historic farmhouse complete with a big white wrap-around porch, a barn, a water pump & well, and plenty of other awesome places to take pictures!  I honestly could have stayed there all day taking pictures, but the weather was chilly & it had rained earlier that morning, but thankfully, it did stop for us.

Coordinating 10 adults & 8 kids under the age of 6 (4 of which are 12 -21 months) was definitely a challenge at times ... we had hopes of many other shots ... one of which was a grandchildren picture, another one of the grandchildren & grandparents ... but they just didn't happen as we had hoped.  All in all everyone did pretty good ... and we got several good ones ... here are the best of the best!

the 2 that started it all ... Jay Don & Mary Lee ...
but now they are called GranGran & Huni!
