Ohio - Part 3 - WV Family Reunion

While in Ohio we took a side trip to Ravenswood, WV. Aunt Linda and Uncle Johnny hosted the Springer Family Reunion. The girls and I stayed with Aunt Linda and Uncle Johnny. We had so much fun and enjoyed the extra time we had with them. Their home is so inviting and warm and so easy to feel at home there. Thank you Aunt Linda and Uncle Johnny for letting us stay in your home and for hosting our family reunion. I know a lot of work went into that. Your back porch is amazing!!! Nice job!! And the food!!!! Super Amazing!!







I have to thank my wonderful, fabulous Grandmother for all these reunions we have had over the years. She is the one that gets it all going. She loves to see everyone together! We may all complain about the planning and preparing and sometimes the travel. But in the end, I think we all are very happy that we make the effort to see everyone. Everyone seems to have a wonderful time. Thanks Mama Rachel....I love you so much!!!


One of my favorite things about Aunt Linda and Uncle Johnny's house is their fabulous front porch. I guess it would be called a Farmers Porch. It is the length of the house and has two wonderful swings at either end. I drank my coffee out there in the morning and groups of family members gathered there at all times during the reunion.

There were the cutest kids at the reunion. Maybe I am biased but this family produces some good looking kids!!! Above is a picture taken on the front porch with Callie, Mia, Bailey and Aubrey on one of the swings.

Here is Bailey, my cousin Jeremy's daughter. What a sweetheart!


This is Aubrey, Jeremy's youngest daughter. What a cutie!! I got a lot of pictures of her that day. Just couldn't stop snapping the camera.


Alexa is Samantha's, my cousin, daughter. I don't think I ever saw her without a great smile on her face the whole day. I spent a lot of time chatting with her. What a great personality!!

Aubrey again smiling!!

Here is Cortney, my cousin! When she walks in a room it is like a breath of fresh air!! She is so full of energy and laughter. I had so much fun hanging out with Cortney. Wish we could do it more often!!!

Cortney and Aunt Linda pouting with Aubrey. Isn't she the cutest toddler you have ever seen?

Here is Devon, my cousin Melanie's oldest, and Tommy. Tommy is a cousin also but my mother's first cousin.

Here I am with Uncle Johnny. Uncle Johnny is my mother's brother.

Here is Jeremy and Matthew. Back in the day, seeing these two together could mean trouble. They are both dad's now. Where did the time go?

My cousin, Jeremy, his wife, Gretchen, with Bailey and Aubrey. What a cute family!!

Here is Morgan, Melanie's youngest daughter.

Here is Landon, Samantha's oldest, and Sam, Melanie's youngest.

There are three Springer sisters. Here is Aunt Louise, the oldest of the three. She turned 90 years old this past January.

Here is Missy, another cousin. She is also a first cousin to my mom and Aunt Louise's youngest child.

Here is my grandmother, Mama Rachel with her older sister, Aunt Louise. They are the main reason for these reunions. Mama Rachel loves to see her sisters and watch all the kids together. The youngest Springer sister, Aunt Martha, was also there but I did not get a picture of her. She came with her oldest daughter, Elise.

Here is my dad with Missy and Kathy. Kathy, Tommy and Missy are Aunt Louise's children.

Here is my mom with my cousin, Melanie, and her oldest daughter, Emily.

The day after the reunion we hung out for awhile with Aunt Linda, Uncle Johnny, Cortney and my parents. Cortney took Emily and Callie for some Taco Bell. Here they are enjoying their meal.

I wish I would have taken more pictures but I was so busy catching up with everyone. It had been awhile since we had a reunion. It was so great to see everyone and catch up with every one's lives. Thanks to all who came, it was great to see you all!!!

Last picture as we were saying goodbye. Thanks again Aunt Linda and Uncle Johnny. What a great time we had! Lots of memories were made!!
