looking back in time


Recently I looked through a TON of old pictures at my mom and dad's house.  I LOVE looking at pictures.  I've said this before I believe, but one of the first thoughts that go through my head when we go to someone's house we've never been to before, is "I wish I could sit and look through their photo albums!".  One of my weird quirks.  Anyway, I was too lazy to actually scan these pictures so as I was looking through them, I just snapped a picture of them with my phone.  The quality is terrible, but I thought I'd post them anyway.  

My sister and I.  I was probably 2 in this picture, which means Bonnie was 8.


This one is the worst quality of all, but I just had to post it.  My brother and I used to play together a lot.  I think it's because he wanted someone to play with, and being the pleaser child that I was (and still am as an adult), I did whatever he asked.  So, here we were playing cowboys.  Gun holsters and all.  Can you tell we lived in Texas? ;)


Bonnie and I again.  She loved me.  Until I started getting into her stuff and wanting to do EVERYTHING she did.  I believe I was about 3 months old here.


I adore this picture.  It was one of the family pictures I had framed at the picture table at our wedding reception.  I have such fond memories of growing up with my sister and brother.  I just love siblings.  (Ages 7, 1, and 4.)  (Can you tell by all these pictures that I loved my big sister?)


Here we are again!  All dressed for Christmas, it looks like.  I think I was about 2, putting Bonnie at 8 and Will at 5.


Here I am in 1st or 2nd grade, I cannot remember which one.  I think Camden looks A LOT like me as a child.  Especially with the missing teeth!


Bonnie and I, 6 years and about 2 months.


I took this picture of me because I think it looks a lot like Evelyn's profile.  We have the same nose.  It's hard to tell because I didn't have a lot of hair, and I think hair can be a huge factor in determining if someone looks alike or not.  It makes me wonder if Evie will grow up to look a lot like me as an adult.


Bonnie and I, at one of our dance recitals!  I danced for 14 years and loved it.  Bonnie only danced for a few years, I believe.  We had to wear so much make-up, and tons of hairspray.  I wish I had a reason to get dressed up and wear red lipstick these days! :)

Love these! What a great reminder of how wonderful growing up with our siblings is!
And, I have to say, I see so much AK in both you and Bonnie in these pictures! Glad my in-laws are such pretty women!
(PS When I showed these to Will, he immediately said, "remind Ash that I am more than happy to scan her favorites so that she has a good digital copy.")
