Our Family

I thought I'd do a post on my blog of our family to introduce ourselves to the Jim & Michelle Gardner family (from Astoria OR) in preparation for Emily & Bronson's upcoming marriage on August 14, 2015. It's a bit overwhelming I'm sure since Emily is the youngest of 9 and she is an aunt to 23 nieces and nephews. Bronson is brave to come in to this crazy, big family.

Vivienne & Crismon Lewis, Gresham, OR

Ondalynn & Gary Vance, Sydney (12), Julia (10), Bryson (7), Isaac (4), Paxton (3). Vancouver, WA. Gary is the Managing Director for the Mill Creek Residential Trust in the Portland Region.

Seth & Tiffany Lewis, Jackson (13), Addison  (11), Preston (10), Asher (6). Woodbury, MN. Seth is an Assistant Professor at the University of Minnesota in Journalism, just receiving tenure.

Alice-Anne & Gary Johns, Kenna (10), Spencer (8), Elliott (4). West Jordan UT. Gary is at Merit Sensor Systems as their Processor Engineer.

Dallin & Janelle Lewis, Dorothy (7), Ruby & Norah (4), Gwendolyn 5 months. Notre Dame, IN. Dallin just completed his PhD in English.

Grandma & Grandpa Lewis with baby Gwendolyn.

Meredith & Bryan Williams, Evelyn (6), Christian (4), Hudson (2), Jocelyn 4 months. Honolulu, HA. Bryan is in his 1st year of Residency in Pediatric Medicine.

Crismon & Danielle Lewis. Boulder CO in the fall for Graduate School in Chinese. Just returned from 1-year in Taiwan.

Emily & Bronson Gardner (to be). BYU, Provo, UT. Bronson just accepted to  the Business School at BYU. Emily will be a senior at BYU in Sociology. 

We are very happy that all of our children and spouses will be attending the wedding except for Meredith & Bryan and their 4 children. We will miss them very much, but they just moved to Hawaii and with his busy schedule in Residency, it just wasn't possible. It's exciting that all of the grandchildren, except Dallin's 3 girls (and Meredith's children) will be here, too. In all, that will be 33 of our family that will be gathered for this special event. We are thrilled to welcome Bronson to our family and we look forward to their wedding in the Portland temple in August. We also look forward to getting acquainted with Bronson's family on the Gardner and Moss side.
