FRIDAY PHOTO FLASHBACK

I started "Friday Photo Flashback" because I have so many pictures from my PRE-digital camera days. I thought it would be fun to scan them and share them here with you. I'm having so much fun doing this, that I would love for you to join me, too! So dig out the photo albums and put your scanner to good use!

1990-Happy New Year!

I love Facebook!

You know why?

I love it when my friends post pictures from way back in the day, especially the ones that I don't even remember taking!

Like these two pictures, for example. I know it was New Years, and I remember where we were at. BUT, I don't even remember my friend having a camera!

And I loved my polka dot blazer! Remember when those were in style? And gotta love the perm!!

I'm also linking up with Amanda @Parenting by Dummies since we have similar Friday meme's! You will enjoy her blog, and also love seeing pictures of her beautiful kids! You can also link up on her blog too! So, I encourage you to go, and make new bloggy friends!

I DO...

I'm participating in a year long challenge, created by Carin at Forever In Blue Jeans. The goal is to be in one picture a week, for 52 weeks. Since us moms are always behind the camera, this gives us a chance to get out in front and be in the pictures with our family. So, click here if you want to join in on the fun!

51/52

My, oh my!! One more to go! It took me longer than I thought, but sometimes it was hard to get in one picture!

Last Saturday, my friend's son got married. They are a young couple, but they have the Lord, and you know with the Lord, you can make it through anything!

I remember when we first met, her son was only 11 years old, and now he's a married man! Her husband married them at their church, and I don't know if there was a dry eye in there. It made me realize how fast kids grow up. I couldn't help but imagine that being one of my kids one day.

The sweetest part of the reception was when he sang a song that he made her a couple of years ago.

I know this isn't very clear, but I had my camera on super zoom!

And that his mom on the far left, our other friend Lisa, and then myself.

WORDFUL WEDNESDAY-BOYS WILL BE BOYS!!

It's amazing how boys and girls interact differently with their friends.

For the most part, girls love to talk and laugh with their girlfriends. And with girls, you either click or your don't.

Not boys though. There can be thirty of them in one room and nobody even has to talk. They can just be with each other without filling any voids.

However, with most boys, they love to be active (like as in wrestling).

And there are no hard feelings, it's just for fun!

Here's the proof to back up that fun fact!

Here you have some of the teenage boys after VBS last week (at our church). Just hangin' in the cafe. No big deal. They are all mellow and just chillin'.

All it takes is ONE person to mix it up!

And this time, one of my son's (Daniel) is one of them in the mix! Here he is wanting to wrestle one of "big boys."

What you'll notice in the pictures is how everyone in the background looks unfazed by everything that is happening right in front of them. Amazing!

Once Danny gets going, it's hard for him to stop!


See?


What do you think? Future wrestler?


Down for the count?


Tired yet?


Hardly!


They're just getting started!

And just so you know, there was nobody hurt. They all love to "play" like this. Everyone who walked by didn't blink an eye because they are just being "boys!"

TIDBIT TUESDAY!

We're having another busy week! Well, my three little ones are! They are at another VBS (Vacation Bible School), and this one is really close to our home. What I love the most about it is that I just drop them off and pick them up three hours later!

I've been trying to think of things I could do with my older kids during that time, but with only three hours, we're pretty limited. But, since my oldest son was at his friends yesterday, I took Miranda to the movies to watch the first showing of Salt (Angelina Jolie). We LOVE action movies, and this was "okay." If your kids can handle fighting and blood, then they will like this!

Tomorrow, my daughter and I are planning on clearing up our entire homeschool area. All their new material will be here in a week, and I want all the old stuff outta here! She's excited to do this, and so am I!! I'm glad she's willing to help!

We had a nice surprise yesterday too. My best friends sons came by to visit. They are such great boys, and my kids love them! Just totally respectful and responsible kids! They are the two older boys in the picture! I've known their mom since we were 12 years old (which was 29 years ago)!

And I'm excited for the next couple of weeks!

My kids have one more "fun week" at our church, and my oldest daughter is going to Jr. High camp. I just want to do as much as we can before school starts! It's coming up quick!

I HEART FACES-PURPLE

This week's theme: PURPLE

I'm sure my son won't appreciate me posting this picture of him, but I saw the purple design on his shirt, and I knew I could use this for this week's theme!

SCRIPTURE SUNDAY

On Sundays, I decided I would share a scripture(s). I pray that it will be a blessing to whoever reads it.

"Trust in the LORD and do good; dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart."-Psalm 37:3-4

MY BOYS..AND GIRL!

This is probably the most current picture I have with my husband and our boys. Well, and our youngest daughter! My oldest daughter is missing from the picture because she was sick that night. It actually would have been better if it were just the boys!

1984

This was my high school, Freshman year picture!

Whoa! Look at that eyeliner! I can't believe I used to wear it like that!

Well, in the "80's," that was the style back then!

Do you remember wearing those little buttons on your shirts? The ones that had famous bands or singers on them, and some just had words?

I had to look closely at this picture because it's only a wallet size, but from what I could make out, one of them is Duran Duran, and one says "Rude Girl" on another. I can't make out what the other picture is! I just wish I still had them!

Why was I trying to look so hard core??????

And no comment on my hair!

Like I said..it was the 80's!
