So all my blog readers out there....this is a random photo dump. You might have noticed I have been trying to blog a lot more this year. I am dedicated to keep this family journal up to date so when I am 90 years old I can remember everything I forgot about. Not only am I trying to keep current I am trying to blog all of 2011 that I missed. Tonight I am posting random pictures from January 2011 - August 2011 that I took with my cell phone that I never blogged about.

Love all the photos! Lily especially loves your crazy hair picture and wants to go sit in the big frying pan! I can't believe we've never done it! Ryan Shupe and I graduated from high school together in Utah in '89. Memories...
ReplyDeleteLove your hair and I know, why did Amber have to leave us?
So fun! Love seeing all the pictures and LOVE your new hair do - SUPER cute! Kesley saw the picture and said you were me! I'm ok with that. Glad you are getting caught up - want to come help me?
ReplyDeleteMelanee You should go sit in the big frying pan with us this summer....I plan on take several day-trips to the beach :) Cool beans about graduating with Ryan Shupe - he is a super great and talented guy. We graduated the same year Melanee....go class of '89!
ReplyDeleteMichelle - this was a new hair-do back in October, my hair is boring now.....and NO I do not want to help you silly sister - I am still behind you.
The hotel picture is not from Longview. I believe it is from our summer 2010 trip. Still, it is a great photo.
