Looking Back...

Alright, I interrupt the regularly scheduled updates of how intensely crazy life currently is (with a new stress about one of my kids thrown into the mix), to share these old photos we recently came across at my Mom's house.   My Mom has a new diagnosis that I'm not ready to talk about on here yet, but it's a doozy that requires a lot more testing and will severely affect her life in the future.  We are all still trying to process.    In the meantime, she's been trying to go through boxes and I thought it would be fun to share some of the treasures we came across.   

Here's a couple of me from when I was a baby...


I see glimpses of my kids in these....



And this one was with me and my Mom taken on the day before my younger brother was born. It was May 1974 in Germany and I was 13 months old....so basically still a baby myself!      
I love this sweet family photo from around 1977.  

This one was taken around 1979 or so in Oklahoma City, and includes my Uncle Mike (in back), Kristina, my cousin, Ashley, Pete, Nate, my cousin, Aaron, and me (in the front row).

This one is 1988 with me holding my brother, Tim.   My hair was clearly in fine form in the 1980's.  
These were taken around 1999...
Look at my sweet Littles, who are now almost 31 and 29!   


These pics are on display at my Mom's house...



Look at those cute little smiles...

I thought this old drawing of mine was cute and kind of funny.   I'm guessing that the teacher had written the writing prompt up on the chalkboard and I very obediently even added the blanks to show that I filled it in!   Haha!   And the fact that I was excited to "play around the house" for Spring Break is also kind of funny.   



Here is an old letter Cami had written to her Great- Grandma Hepworth.   She passed away in 2009, so it was sometime before then...

 My Mom has a very hard time parting with items like these, so taking pictures of them and sharing them here on the blog is a good way to preserve them for future posterity.   Perhaps I'll have to start posting these flashback posts more regularly again...

Flashback Friday: Oklahoma Nightmare

A gazillion bucks to the first non-family member who can determine why my siblings and cousins all look so terrified in this picture (I'm the semi-calm one in the red dress)....

Here's a hint....

If Ellie had been on my grandparents' steps that day she would have had a much different reaction than the rest of us.

It was a dog that walked by that induced all that hysteria.  

Way to go Charlene!!!   I'll get working on that gazillion bucks to send you.

Day 230--Laundry and Baseball

The start of Spencer's two-a-day football practices has brought with it a new urgency to keeping up with the laundry...



and Spencer experienced his first bout of jealousy with his new sporting commitments when he returned from practice to discover that everyone but Ellie and I were downtown at the Rockies/Nationals game.
They came home happy to report that the right team won the match-up.

Rockies 4--Nats 3.

(You couldn't expect 2 Colorado boys {Aaron and Glen} to root for anyone else now could you?)

Day 216--Snow Babies...

My cousin Aaron and his wife Trish came to hang out on their last night before little Snow Baby #5 arrives. Aaron and Trish have gone home now and Snow Babies #1, #2, #3, & #4 are staying here for the next few days. So if you feel like hanging out with eight kids mostly eight and under this week be sure to stop by our house ( you may want to bring working gloves though).

Day 208--El Pollo Rico and New Windows

After spending the last month as the ghetto house on the block with our duct taped windows, we finally got back up to speed today.
Then, after a long, painful visit to the orthopedist for Spencer (where they told us everything was normal and fine) we met Aaron and Trish for an early dinner at one of their family favorite restaurants, El Pollo Rico. The food was simple, but excellent and the company was even better.

Day 158--Fast Sunday Festivities!

Every Fast Sunday we get together with my two brothers (Matt & Pete) and my cousin Aaron and all their families.  We take turns hosting and cooking.  Today it was at Matt & Karey's (our first time in their new place) and Karey made us Cafe Rio (yum, yum)!

We also take the opportunity to celebrate that month's birthdays.  Here is the June crew--my sister in law Karey, whose birthday is actually today, Lily whose is at the end of May, and my cousin Aaron (in a few weeks).  Glen should have been in there too enjoying this fabulous cake that Cami made, but he'll have to wait until next month.

Day 39--Silliness Runs in the Family

There's a good chance that you'll see this picture again tomorrow for my I ♥ Faces entry (silly category), but it was such a classic I couldn't resist putting it up for my picture of the day.

We spent the evening at my brother Pete's house with his cute family and my cousin Aaron and his awesome family. Mika made us a delicious dinner....yay, food I didn't have to cook myself and we had a great time eating, chatting, and chilling! We love having family nearby and hope that in time we will have a lot more! (yes K, H, AL, Nate, Tim, Matt, Mom & Dad, Lara, Eric, Ryan, Alex, Kurt...we mean you!)

I ♥ {Silly} Faces

The king of silly!

My cousin Aaron is the king of silly. He refuses to pose nicely for pictures, therefore every photo I have of him looks an awful lot like this. :)
