I guess I felt the need to make this extra chubby face, as if my face wasn't chubby enough already! Brinley especially liked this one! :)
This is what our yard looked like over 20 years ago. In the middle of nowhere AZ. Now Gilbert is HUGE and my parents still have their own little oasis. On the right you can the basement where our house is being built. My Dad "built it" and tried to pay as he went, it took 7 years!
Here are my kids playing on the same slide that we put in our "pool". Same area of the yard too. Just on the other side of those trees is my Grandma's award winning Rose Garden, that didn't even exist when I was that age!
I loved story time, and I'll always remember that awesome couch! Brian, Jenn, Mom, Me, and Mark
Jenn and I often had coordinating clothes in the same fabric, but that didn't match exactly. I still remember the piano, yeah, I was pretty good :) I feel like I look like Casen in this pic.
I was VERY excited about these sandals. Brinley just kept asking, why I was so happy. So I showed her the picture below and told her she got really excited about presents at her birthday when she was little too :)


Nothing better then swimming in a dirt ditch with your cousins! Wahoo!

I got the chicken pox at age 3. Apparently it was the worst our doctor of 20 years had ever seen. They even took me to a specialist. I had big ones the size of a quarter up to the size of my palm on my belly and back. Fortunately the scars were gone by age 8!
O my land, that chicken pock picture is amazing! I can't believe you don't have scars! And I also can't believe how much your kids do look like you!
ReplyDeleteYour kids look SO much like you, wow! So amazing that we pass on our little genetic traits to our kids. And that chicken pox pic looks super uncomfortable...I had a really bad case also, it was diagnosed as bulous impetigo with those same big fluid filled lesions..yuck!
