My oldest daughter! She was just a little over three years old here!

When I look at this picture, I see the band-aid on the knee, the little bruise underneath her right eye, and my favorite tweety bird shirt! 

 She was tiny, but boy..she was a firecracker!! She was fearless, and even to this day, she is still the same! When they say looks are deceiving, that totally applies to her!! So many people comment how she looks feminine, but she is so not the girly-girl!!

Oh..how I love this boy!!!!!

He was about six months old at the time, and I took the kids to one of those picture perfect places to get some photos done! I didn't expect them to do one like this, but I loved it, and it's one of my favorites!! It's funny because he still has that same, sweet smile!!!

We were at my in-laws this past weekend, and I was able to snag a few "old" pictures of me and my hubby from wayyyy back in the day!! It's so neat to see these photos, and remember exactly what was going on that moment! This was when he was back from bootcamp, and we were hanging at his house! And by the expression on my face, it looks like I was about to sneeze!!

Hmm..let's see..I was 23 & he was 21 years old!

Friday Photo Flashback-Happy Anniversary!

July 6, 1996

This is a SPECIAL Friday Photo Flashback because it's my 16th wedding anniversary!! Whoa!! That's like amazing in this day and age, right?!!

All I know is that we owe it all to the Lord because that is the only way we've survived through all the ups and downs. We all know that marriage isn't perfect, and it takes work. Alot of work. It's about dying to yourself daily and not demanding your own way. It's very humbling, and it's also a huge blessing. Another important factor in a marriage (besides all the obvious things), is LAUGHTER! My husband and I can make each other crack up, and sometimes, we don't even have to say specifically at what. We can see something, and it will automatically make us think of the same exact thing. So many times our kids are like, "What??? What???"

The Lord has truly blessed us with five wonderful kids, and just a wonderful family life. Yes, we have our drama here and there, but who doesn't? I'm just thankful that it's nothing that we can't handle with the Lord!! I don't ever want to take them for granted. Life is too short, and tomorrow is not promised to us.

Me and hubby on our wedding day! I was already prego with our first child.

Whoa...20 years ago...really? I just realized that when I was trying to figure out what year this was!

That's me on the far left with my girlfriends at our friends wedding.

In fact, it was at my sister's ex-boyfriends wedding (who she was with for 10 years)!

Talk about awkward!

But, I still had a good time because my friends were all there, too!

But, yah..it was still a little awkward!

This is me, and my firstborn, Isaiah! He must only be a couple of weeks old here, and I still remember feeling sooo clueless at the time! He was such a good baby, too!! For being a month premature, he weighed a good 6.3 lb.!!

I absolutely LOVE this picture of my daughter sleeping on her daddy!! She was just a little over one year old!

They have always had such a tight bond, and you can totally see it till this day! It really does make a huge impact on a girls life to have a daddy that is attentive, supportive, and very involved in their daughters lives! I'm so thankful for their relationship!

I know I've posted before about my my kids and their cousins (my sisters boys). I thought it would be perfect to "flashback " a picture of them when they were all 3 & 2 years old! Even though they live in Hawaii, it's like time has not passed when they see each other. I can only imagine how close they'd be if we were able to see them all the time.

I'm totally guessing on the year here. I know that by the couch and the curtains, we were already living in our new house in San Jose. I look like I'm about 7 years old! That's my mom on the left, and she was still sporting the "Sonny & Cher" look. I seriously look like a boy!! Who in the world cut my hair???? I was so not cute! Ha!

1960'ish??

I honestly don't know when this picture was taken, but I am going to take a wild guess and say it was in the early 60's. The beautiful lady on the left is my Aunt (my mom's youngest sister), and the other lovely lady is my grandma. My aunt had beautiful long black hair, and she was so stylish back then! I think she had more style then, than she has now. Hehe..I hope she doesn't read this! And I'm sure my grandma was just as fiesty as she is now!!

We're expecting a visit from my mom's side of the family in June, and I'm so looking forward to it! My grandparents are getting into their 90's!!!!

Okay...I know that I've been slacking on my FPF posts!! I haven't given up, really! I JUST found my cord for my printer, so I will be posting "new" flashbacks starting next Friday! I'm pretty sure I've shared this one before, but I love it so much, I want to share it again! Plus, it's my husbands 41st birthday today, and I wanted to post a picture of our entire family! In fact, we are due for an updated photo!!!

I love coming across my "babies" when they were little. It really does make me realize how fast time goes by!!!!

This is me (on the left) and one my best friends Ethel in 1994! We were visiting my sister in Hawaii, and it was one of the best vacations I've ever had! Here we are at a Luau, and as you can see, we had our plates full!! LOL! Ahh...good times!!!! Love you, Eth!!!

Here's another oldie but goodie of me and Gabe! This was before we were married, and obviously it was his birthday. This was taken at my mom's place, around 1993!! He would be 22 & I was almost 24 years old!!! And, fyi..his hair wasn't as high as it looks in the picture! LOL!

1978

Doesn't this have the 70's written all over it? From my mom's huge glasses, my dad's shirt, and to the sales guy's ensemble? So retro!

Can you believe I am the one who took this picture? I was probably around 9 years old at the time, and my parents were shopping for a Kodak Polaroid camera. I'm assuming the sales guy wanted to show how easy it was to use by letting me take the picture.

My dad was always into the newest gadgets, so having this picture does not surprise me at all!

 Repost from March 2009!!

1998

This was one of my absolute favorite pictures of my two older children. There is just something about a picture of a baby in diapers! I also loved my daughter's little pixie cut that she had back then! She would always get compliments on her hairstyle! In fact, they still get their hair cut by the same gal! They are only 10 1/2 months apart, and EVERYWHERE we went, people asked if they were twins. Because they are so close in age, they have always been inseparable. Looking at this picture brings back so many great memories!

1989

OH MY GOSH!

I can't believe I'm actually posting this picture!!!

Ewwwwww!!!! I have NO IDEA why my face had that expression on it. I look psycho!

BUT, hey, this was 23...yes, TWENTY-THREE years ago, and I just got off work and went to visit my boyfriend (now husband) at his parents house. Doesn't he look thrilled to see me? Well, according to my oldest daughter, we both look weird! Ha!

This picture brings back memories of his parents old house, and how many times we would hang out there. Good times.

I'm totally guessing on the year here, but from the way my mom looked (on the far left), I will assume it was around the Sonny & Cher era! 

And since it's New Year's weekend, I knew I had to share these photos! I'm also pretty positive that my dad is the one behind the camera!

You can totally tell they were having lots of fun!!!!

They definitely knew how to party! LOL

 1977'ish

 
Since it's Christmas in a few days, I think this Flashback Photo is perfect!

I was probably about 8 years old at the time (far right), and here I am with my mom and sister on Christmas Day! When we were kids, my parents bought us all the coolest games and toys! We had all the current board games, too! See that big box on the left? That was a two sided Pinball machine table! I remember our friends coming over and wanting to always play with it!!! It's no wonder why I love board games till this day!

I don't recall the exact year of this picture, but it had to be around 1973 since we were still living in Moffett Field (Naval housing).

That's my dad, me, my sister, and my mom.

Everything about this picture screams "70's".

For example, the funky astrological chart behind my dad.

The way my parents looked like the Filipino Sonny & Cher.

Or, how my sisters hairstyle makes me think of The Bay City Rollers.

Oh, and we can't leave out the mini bar to the left!!

Wow!
