I am waiting for some pictures of other family members from my mom. I guess I won't be posting pictures of the girls though, because I have been asked not to by parents. If you want to see pictures of my neices, and I know you, just ask and I'll email them to you. Meanwhile, here is the rest of my family tree. Each branch is a different, well, branch of the family.

That last part was easier to read than one of Sam's posts.
ROFL, John!
I had seen that second test before, but I've never seen the first one that you put on here, Josh. Those are both very interesting and funny. (The first one made me feel stupid, though, and I don't like to feel stupid!)
Josh,
Great tests, I'm a moron. Just as I've always suspected. Oh, well.
Israel,
"First off, what's with all the "J" names?
Actually if Jess had turned out to be a boy, she would have been named Israel. No kidding!
We wanted our first born to be a boy like everyone else in the world, but just in case Israel didn't make his appearance first, we had Jessica as a back up name. One year and 9 days later we had our boy, but they were so close in age they almost seemed like twins and I thought it would be cute to call them Jessie and Justin. Two years and 9 days later we had another boy and I didn't think it would be right to call them Jessie, Justin and Bob, so I came up with Jariah, (Jessica and Justin having suddenly grown too popular for my liking).
Then while we were trying to decid if we were done, I saw the most beautiful word in the Bible, Jeshanah. I had to have a daughter named that. I told Gary we had to have one more, and about 9 months later we did!
Jessica 6-9-76
Justin 6-18-77
Jariah 6-27-79
Jeshanah 9-27-82
And then we decided to adopt Ms. Zvx about 3 months ago.She was already 26 when we got her!
I sometimes call Zion "Jazion", and Becca "Jabecca", so they don't feel left out. =)
Technically we should call Becca Jecca so we can call Rebecca Jabecca
They each have a nice rng to it, don't you think?
Or as Josh would say "A ncie rnig to it!
Whenever I eat at a restaurant I always say my name is "Joe."
I don't want any middle eastern guy spitting in my falafel just because I told him my name is "Israel."
When I did stories about the middle east as a Journalist and had to interview middle eastern people, I always introduced myself as I. Ramirez and I said it fast so it sounded like IRA MIREZ.
This was after having told some middle eastern guys my real name a few times and having watched their eyes bug out and the veins on their necks bulge.
I decided I would be "Joe" at restaurants so that I didn't have to deal with the "Why is your name that?" question posed in that "I'll-kill-you-my-friend" tone of voice.
I don't know about Zion, but I'm guessing that if we're ever on a plane that gets hijacked, we'll be the first two hostages killed.
That is too funny. Zion goes by Joe in restaurants, too. He always just says that it's easier...
That way no one says, "Joe? How do you spell that?"
Danny, Sam and Josh don't know how good they've got it.
LOL Joe!
I love the "I'll kill you my friend" tone of voice" line. It paints such a picture I can hear the guy asking you why your name is that.
People used to call Jeshanah "Jo" for short when she was little and she always cried cause she thought it was a boy's name!
If she is on that plane with Zion and Israel, she better say her name is Jo, too. Jeshanah is the name of a city in Israel, I'm bettin' those guys with the guns know that.
Please, nobody get any funny ideas and start calling me Jo. I didn't like them calling me that then, and I wouldn't like it now. Jo isn't even PART of my name!
Whatever you say, Jeshuga.
(Said in a very Pooh kind of way...) "Oh, Bother!"
< sinister chuckle >
Great Job fixing the tree. Now I can see everyone except Zion, because his head is cut off.
It's Perfect!!
You guys have a very good looking family. If I had known that people in Ohio were handing out tall good-looking blondes to every weirdo from Arizona that showed up, maybe I would have signed up for one.
Plus it saves a lot of money on water and dry cleaning bills because you can woo them over the internet while wearing your underwear. You don't gave to shower or brush your teeth or anything.
Ahhhh, Republicans from Ohio! It's your giving and gullible nature that I treasure!
Although Zion did shower and brush his teeth and made sure he was impeccably dressed before he logged onto the internet.
Right?
It's just me that would have taken advantage of those environmentally-friendly wooing practices.
You know what they say about trying to woo and wed Republicans from Ohio?
"The odds are good, but the goods are odd."
Yeah, I'M the odd one. Aren't you the one who is crazy about lizzards? Isn't your favorite movie, "The little shop of horrors"? and isn't your favorite book "The hitchhikers Guide to the galaxy"?
