Cousins, Cousins and MORE Cousins

Luke has an especially large amount of cousins.
On Joey's side - he's got 42. + 1 very special first cousin once removed.
On my side - he's got 14.
5 of those are actually double cousins that sneak in on both sides (my brother married Joey's sister ya see.)

So - in Utah Luke was able to see all his cousins. A rare occasion indeed. I think he only missed out on seeing 4 of his 52 cousins. Katie (CA), Jon (Brazil), Maggie & Eliza (Venezuela) And I guess his 4 Memphis cousins weren't in Utah but we'll count them since he gets to see them all the time.

He's got all sorts of crazy cousins:

Cousin trivia -

There has been a baby born into the Hale family every year for 21 years. Luckily we'll be doing our part not break the baby streak in 2010.

In the Songer family each family has a different number of kids. The 6 families have 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 and 0 kids equalling 15. But I'm afraid we will be breaking that up by turning our one to two in January.

I love our huge-mungus families!!

The End.

What a cute post! Katie you are the cutest and always make me smile. Glad that Luke was able to see all his cousins! That is quite the achievement. Also, hope you are doing well and feeling good. I tried to call you a few weeks ago and give you an official congrats. I will have to try again soon. But just in case... we are really excited for you!

That crazy picture is priceless.

Katie katie katie, you make me smile A LOT! Thanks for your comment, we actually get that a lot (not the whole "you're hot" part but the "you're kids are so cute, they look NOTHING like you guys!" It was fun seeing you and watching Luke run away the whole time and know that it wasn't our kid that was trying to run into the traffic filled road for once. Tee hee. You guys rock and I swear the sun hasn't shone quite as brightly since the Hales left Utah.

Katie B. said...

Hey! I didn't get to see Luke, and neither did Jon. And we're cousins!

Lisa said...

So many cute pictures - how fun to be with your family! Congrats on a future baby #2!!

Katie said...

Sorry Katie B. I guess I think of you guys more as siblings or something - Luke's honorary aunt. I bet our some of future kids will be the same age as your future kids. Oh funzies. Bring on the cousins!!

It was so great seeing you guys! And thanks for Mike's b-day call last night. He wanted to sing a song back, and I suggested "PIE", but I think his idea was better. We miss you again! Do you know what you're having yet? Is it a baby?

Every story has a beginning...

Joey and Katie first met in Mr. Hawkes 3rd grade class at Valley Elementary. They became good friends in Jr. High and best friends in High School. Katie wrote to Joey on his mission in Tiajuana and Joey wrote to Katie later on her mission in Tokyo. Years later at the ripe old age of 25, these best friends finally fell in love... or maybe just realized they were already in love. They got married on January 22, 2004.

happy kids
