unidentified images of Carl and Rosalia Hon's children

Finally, for the first time since Dad died, I'm able to get back to posting. I'm going to start up where I finished. Here are the remaining unidentified images of Carl and Rosalia Hon's children. Please let me know if you see someone you recognize or if you think I've identified someone correctly and I'll add a heading. If you learn anything from this blog post it is this-identify and date your important and precious images before it is too late and family history is lost forever.
Here are unidentified babies. Talk about precious! Who are they? 
Unidentified man, Grandpa Hon (I think) and an unidentified baby.
Grandpa Hon and three kids, might be my Mom next to Grandpa. Might be Aunty Frances, cut off, on the right.
Unidentified kids. The woman in black dress I think was in early images with Aunty Frances. I think that is Grandma Hon in the white dress.

Here are some unidentified girls, the one on the far right might be Aunty Frances.
Hons on a fence? Could be Uncle Paul on left, Uncle Carl on the right? Aunty Phyllis climbing? on the Hon farm?
