Can we AW young pics of us?
Or maybe it'll just be me :O)
Some of my fav childhood pics (sorry if you're already seen):
Age 3ish I believe:

My and my lil sis; please notice her socks.

Yep, popcorn on them!
This is maybe my all-time 5; before dance recital; age 4:
This was in the backyard of the house I grew up in. The tree behind me was planted when my mom was pregnant with me. When we moved, I was 17 and the tree was about 35 feet tall.
Re: Can we AW young pics of us?
I only have a couple on this computer.
Seeing Santa:
School Picture:
And a baby picture of me with my sisters (I'm the baby obviously:)
This is the only picture I have on this comp from when I was young.
Although I don't match my underwear, I DO match my sunglasses with my oshkosh overalls.
PWing, I must say. I try to as well:

Missing our little turkey.
Estimated Due Date 11/13/12 | Natural Miscarriage 4/17/12
I used this one for my Senior yearbook baby pic. I think I'm 1.5 here. I apparently used to have blond curly hair, and now that I am getting older it is lightening up and occasionally curly (especially when humid) again.
I'm 2 here, and kinda pissed because I asked Santa for a puppy and a kitty and I got a stuffed puppy and hello kitty. So not what I meant Santa!
I'm 4 here and in Kindergarten. This is the best Halloween costume my mom ever made me. Does anybody recognize this character?
Gotta love the 80s! This was my workout ensemble when I would Mousercise on Disney. You can also see the yellow color of my bedroom.

Everyone is stinkin' adorable!
Me & my two younger sisters:
Since we had a post about Boston sights earlier, me on the USS Constitution:
And I guess that is it, I don't have a ton of younger pictures uploaded
Omigosh, I can't remember her name, but she was from the Rainbow Brite cartoons...she was my favorite, too! I remember her little pet critter's name was Lucky. My mom works for Hallmark, who owned the rights to all the Rainbow Brite characters back then, and I had all kinds of cool stuff with RB and her friends on it!
I am going to be a total AW right now!
Me and mom
again
So cute!
Rockin' the overalls
again..
bhaha
My first taste of wedding
I was trying to find one of my baby pictures, but it seems to have temporarily relocated, so I'll just share the few I came across while looking for it:
This was at the Kansas City Zoo, circa 197--ummmmm, 7, I think. I was either 4 or 5. My grandma made that outfit by hand without a pattern. She made all my clothes when I was little:
Another one from the same set. I tell my family that this is proof that I am, indeed, an angel. This makes them laugh a whole lot. (That's actually a Frisbee that someone threw behind me as my dad was taking the picture):
Last day of Senior year, 1991, with my choir buddies. I'm the one in the white T-shirt on the top right:
Senior Prom picture. My date is actually my now ex-husband and 2 of my 3 biological kids' dad:
here's what I could find on my computer
my cousin (on the right) and me, right after my fam moved back to Canada. My granma tried sewing us matching corduroy dresses, but obviously had no clue how big I was.
I couldn't resist.... classic 90's laser school photo!
OMG Rainbow brite was my favourite! You are my new best friend. Patty-O-Green was this girl's name!
Yes!! That was it! Thank you, Eeva!
I only have a few scanned onto my computer.
Here's the first one...my third birthday, and I was thrilled to have my very own hairbrush!
Already accident prone, at the age of 3. I hit my head on this fireplace and had to get stitches.
4 and ready for preschool.
Tisha - Wow!! You were soo blonde!!
Christie and Erin - you totally still look the same!
Karen- love the Rainbow Brite costume! Amazing!!
Other Erin - omg, love your prom pic!!
Eeva- You were so blonde too! Although you still are! Is your hair natural or colored?
Everyone is adorble! These are so fun!!

:-) I wonder if my mom saved this, because if I have a little girl I'm so putting her in it. I also wonder if my mom still has all of my rainbow bright dolls as she saved most of our toys so we can pass them on to our kids.

I'm way late to the party on this, but still want to play! These are the only ones I have within reach...the rest are either at my parents' house or up in our closet where I can't reach.
As a baby with my parents and sister:
I'm probably two or so in this one:
I don't know why, but this is one of my favorite kid pictures of me...we basically lived in the pool in our backyard when we were kids:
Since Erin posted one, I thought I'd do my senior homecoming picture - this was my best friend in high school:
And, for fun, my mom when she was 16 or 17:
Megan & Chris
Lol, I'm going to have to get some high-school and Senior pics when I'm at my parents this weekend!
Megan- that pool one is really cute! I can see why you like it

I can't find any on the computer. The only one I have is my very first picture.
And this one was taken the summer after High School Graduation.
That is all the young pics I could find. hmm.
I'm still a natural blonde, but I had some highlights put in for the wedding. I'm naturally a less golden, more silver (ash) blonde. Here's a pic of my natural hair colour. It's me (on the right, completely wasted) snuggling up to my American friend (on the left). I have no idea what we were doing. Her hair is naturally more of a golden blonde and you can see how much more "red" it looks than mine.
Eeva, I see! Your color for the wedding was gorgeous.
My hair is similar to yours (except a darker shade), I called it "boring blonde" lol, since naturally there isn't much dimension to it. Hence, why I get highlights and lowlights
