Can I just tell how much I loved those dresses? I remember that trip, but I don’t remember Dad being so young. Wierd isn’t it? Alex just came in the room and I told her to come and look at the pictures, and she says ” Oh my God, look how cute you guys are, and I love those dresses!”. (Good job Hannah..) Oh, and my 16 year old daughter has never seen a prarie dog, and she’s like “what are those things?” Funny….

Sherra,
You are more brave than I! Loved the pics of matching outfits - guess all of us had those back then. Our matchy-matchy outfits included my mom. Somehow, her’s always looked better than the ones my sister and I had. You’ve inspired me to get those pics from my mom and scrapbook them too.

Your blog always jogs my memory even though I don’t always share that on line. Keep on caring and sharing.

All I have to say is that I would be a little less worried about the panties - after all they do appear clean in case you should get in an accident, you know that is a mom rule - and I would be a bit more worried about those socks and shoes…oh my! You two were quite a pair! Did you save those outfits so your girls could wear them? Now that would be funny!

JuliE » The dresses were my favs too! And have you ever seen prairie dogs since that day? Mom couldn’t even remember what they were. LOL

Karen » My mom was never in the pictures - she was usually taking the few we have. But believe me she was always cleaned up and well-dressed. She is still a “looker” as we like to say and someone just recently shared with one of my cousins–that made us laugh! Who knows, some day she may give me permission to let me write about her.

Tammy » Come on now, those socks and shoes where groovy! Even my niece liked the dresses. Unfortunately, my mom saved nothing and we still give her grief about it. I would have totally dressed up my twins in those dresses.

Your poor twins. I can’t believe that you would dress them in anything that you wore! LOL Lucky for mine, my mom didn’t save anything either. I had a sister 18 months younger so we had a lot of matching outfits as well.

I do envy you your organization skills. And I’m thankful to you for turning me on to scrapbooking. I hope I can pass it along to my daughters. I inherited all of my mom’s photo albums as well since I’m the taker and keeper of pictures in my family. My sis does scrapbook also though. now if we could just get my sis-in-law to do it, we’d have it made. She has boxes of pictures of her kids, bless their heart. They’re al organized but you just can’t look at’em withot sitting and going thru boxes.

I’m trying to maintain my status here with comments but for some reason this summer it’s been difficult. Of course not receiving some of the messages caused a little bit of a glitch as well. Glad they got that worked out.

And I agree with Tammy, at least your underwear appears to be clean. Guess you were potty trained by that age, lol.

Melinda » I think I might have put them in those dresses if she had saved them. Come on, those were cute!

I think you’re still top commentator if I was keeping track…but I’m not…although I always appreciate every comment!!!
