On Friday, May 10, April Lowery’s family got together to celebrate her son’s 16th birthday.

But the girls were also the stars.

She snapped this photo of the family’s five generations of women, which includes:  Great-great grandmother Nettie Jarrett of Blytheville, great grandmother Sandra Jarrett of Jonesboro, grandmother April Goza of Jonesboro, and Nicole Goza of Harrisburg, mother of the 5th generation, Letha Renia Greer.

JONESBORO, AR (KAIT) - Nearly 100 soldiers have returned home from Afghanistan today.

For Specialist Josh Smothers coming home is special because he finally gets to see his baby girl for the first time.

"He's just going to be happy, he's waited so long and you can just tell he's so excited to see her," said Wife Mallory Smothers.

The moment Smother's six-month-old baby girl gets to meet her dad for the first time is almost too much to handle.

"They keep teasing us," said Smothers. "They keep closing the door!"
