The Griffioens

We don't get to see Julie's sister, Janice and her family as much as we'd like to.  So, it was a treat to be with them at Bill's party a couple weeks ago.  Janice has a beautiful smile - and can pretty much light it up on cue.  She is very photogenic!


Here she is with Ryan.  How cute.


She also has an infection laugh.  Sometimes she gets to laughing so hard ... well.. it's hilarious.


Here's Julie imitating her.  I think it might have made it worse..


Here's the whole Griffioen family.  Team Blue.


The boys, Arie and Andrew, both have girlfriends.  Grandpas house is .. well.. communications challenged.   In fact, the only place they could get their cell phones to work was in the boat sitting next to the dock.  So, started calling the pontoon boat 'the phone booth'.


John and Janice.  Looking good. 

The Griffioens love the water.  Here's John working the Jet Ski.  Awesome air!  And Andrew wasn't to bad himself.


Here's one of my favorite pictures of the whole trip.  Julie's on the dock like she's feeding the Swans.  Janice, apparently, thinks she's a swan - because she's got her mouth open trying to catch some bread!


Julie and Janice had some girl bonding time on the lake in the neighbor's canoes.  Janice can't go anywhere without her Big Gulp!


Here's all three Rexford girls.  I am so glad that they all love each other and have made the effort over the years to remain a tight, loving family. What an example.


We had such a great time together.  It's hard to leave.  Obviously, Janice was heartbroken to have to leave and go back home.  But, we'll be together again, soon.

Janice you are a constant smiler...looking great in every picture! Are you wax?
Ummm...Andrew needs to work on his 'Air'
And...that is a terrible picture of me...what's with the 3/4 eye closed shot? Well, not much to work with!

I was in tears laughing and then you threw in the last picture of Janice saying good bye and then I had more tears!

Okay, Janice with the Big Gulp - Didn't her mom use to walk around all the time with a cup in her hand too?

Vicki don't be fooled that was Janice fake crying when she heard Linda does not love her the most!

Mom was usually carrying a coffee cup.

Hey wait a minute are you saying I don't look good in the sister picture?

Janice said...

You would have cried too if you had walked into the kitchen and overheard that Tod was Linda's favorite. I did learn from the best(Joanne?) how to get my way--Linda ran over and reassured me that I was a favorite also and I got a hug too.

There are no favorites!
