Larson History

I have been locating/reviewing lots of photographs for our family as I put together the Larson History Book that will capture a summary of the life stories of the Lloyd and Effie Larson posterity. So this little series gives you a little pictoral history of the David Larson family over the last 49 years or so, and shows how we evolved to become the Larson clan shown above in our "big" family picture on this blog.


(All picture captions are above the pictures)
1961 (pre-mission): Carma and I in the Olsen front yard in Murtaugh
August 29, 1963 (6 months after mission)
W. Lafayette, IN (Purdue) in January 1972. It was 22 degrees below zero, colder than we had ever experienced in Idaho or Utah, so we took the kids outside and took a picture. Delos is 4 months old, Alice is 4 (Peggy must have taken the picture since she's not in it)
Fall, 1972 back in Albuquerque (Peggy is 14, Alice is almost 5, Delos is 1) Don't you love those big black horned-rim glasses!





1980, Emily is a few months old, James is 3, Ellen is 4, Sara is 7, Delos is 9, Alice is 12 (Peggy is now 22, has gone to BYU for a semester and is working in Salt Lake City)


About 1984 and Sara and Ellen are "Starz"

All of us in 1984
(Don't ask me what James is looking at?)



1990, Alice and Dave have been married for one year



And all the adult children in 2005 with their now ancient parents


Now, Wasn't that fun! Where has all the time gone?

LOVE Em's dress in the 1990 family picture!

Emily said...

Those are funny! I love 'em! And I have to agree with Jess on the green dress picture. Ugh. But you missed our denim shirt picture, our red shirt picture, and our blue/khaki picture! Those are good ones too!
