Missin' my Mamacita

During some of my Provo time this year I went through some old slide carousels from my parent's basement.  Here are a few little treasures of mom at different times in her life.  These are pictures most of us haven't seen in years!  I'm feeling a little sentimental about her today, so I'll just post the photos without too much commentary.


Uncle- Albon Smith, Aunt- Mary Smith, Mom- Ruth Hansen Latimer, Dad- Louis Latimer
when dad was Stake President in San Jose at the Oakland Temple.
What beautiful sisters!!



Mom was the original party girl!  Here she is hosting a gathering at their home in Walnut Creek, CA.


Mom with her beloved mother, Marian Andelin Hansen.  My dad's brother Merlon and Aunt Virginia.


 My cousin Llwellynn Smith - charming and dashing as always!! - at Lake Hebgen.


Mom with her sixth baby - Darin Latimer.


In our family room at the Mission Home in Quito, Ecuador with my three younger brothers, Kyle, Brett, and Darin.


Mom and Dad on a family vacation in Northern California.  Love the glasses!


Mom and her girlfriend in our pool in Tarzana, California.  Dad took several shots of mom like this!! :)

I'll post more of the pictures I found later.  But today, Mom, it's all about you.
