Cool New Pictures - The McEntire FAMILY

This has been a lot of fun scanning and posting these pictures.  Here are just a few of them, I posted 50 more to Facebook today.

This is a picture of my Dad Marvin in the Navy - He's the second one near the front.



I LOVE this picture of our beautiful Grandma Marie McEntire



Marvin and Susann at the Cherry Gas Station.  Dad was on leave from the navy.

This picture says Marvin holding Merlin with Carolyn, but on Facebook everyone says that this is actually Ron that Marvin is holding.

St. Ignatius High, My dad is the bottom row - left side

One of my Dad's elementary classes - I need to find out for sure which one is him.  I think once that he told me that he was to blonde in the very center, but he was so tall that I'm wondering if he might be the blonde in the front in overalls. I'll have to ask him again.


One of my favorite pictures of my Dad

More Pictures of the MCENTIRES

I love going through these pictures, this is just a few of them, I'm going to post about 40 of them to facebook today - these pictures here on my blog are mostly pictures that have my Dad in them.





Grandpa and Grandma McEntire, Marv (oldest),Paul, Susann, Jim, Marcia, Brenda and Baby Richard


This is an Aerial photo of St. Ignatius farm, 1966

I absolutely LOVE this photo of my Dad (Marvin) and his little brother Paul

This is a picture of my Dad (Marvin) and Paul and Susann with Great Grandpa James McEntire outside of his motel in Clearfield, Utah

Grandpa's Amphibious Jeeps in the Pioneer Parade in Clearfield, Utah

An adorable picture of my Dad, 13 months old.

This is a picture of my Dad at 13 months...I have a picture of my son Tyler that looks EXACTLY like this. I'm going to find it and compare them side-by-side.
I love this picture too of Grandma with baby Paul and my dad (Marvin). Isn't that dog in the background adorable.


Aunt Mauna holding my dad, age 4 weeks.


This is my Dad in his WAY COOL 70's jacket with Grandma McEntire


This is Great Grandma Graham holding my Dad at 3 weeks



My Dad at 13 months


Grandpa William McEntire, holding my Dad (look how long and skinny he was.)


This is Grandpa William and Grandma Marie holding Jim, with Marvin, Paul and Susann, standing outside their house in Clearfield - on the back of the picture it says "Smith Village - 1948-49" Well I'm looking at this picture and I just realized "Smith Village" is a neighborhood where OUR (my husband and I)first house was - so I'm going to take this picture up there and see if I can tell which house was Grandma and Grandpas.

I just love these amphibious jeeps that they brought back from Hawaii - I bet they'd be worth a lot today. This is a picture of Grandpa William, Grandma Marie, Paul and Marvin


So cute! Look at the cute leather hats that all the boys are wearing - LOVE IT. This is a picture of Grandpa William, Grandma Marie, Marv, Paul, Susann, Jim and Marcia

Grandma Marie with Marvin, Paul, Susann, Jim and Marcia
