{oh, the memories}

so today me and mom spent a good little chunk of time organizing and sorting old papers and pictures. we tend to keep a lot of junk... we are pack rats by nature. i wish like crazy that i could be a minimalist.... but i fear i am just too sentimental.

anyway... there were tons of funny pictures and funny papers from my elementary school days... its amazing how much i remembered when i had something to look at... like how proud i was of my barn swallow report in the fourth grade... and my aztec pot that i made out of paper mache for our ancient indian reports... and the valentines day cards from kids that i had forgotten about. and of course there were pictures from my ugly fatty chipmunk stage... that just arent cute [but that my mom made me keep...haha]. funny funny times. there was a lot of cards from grandma & grandpa neilson that i loved reading through.

im not quite sure why i kept all of that stuff... and i still kept a bit of the funnier things and almost all the pictures. oh, the memories. hahaha. anyway... these are my favorites...


mom adrian and me


halloween one year... me as the bat, kelsey as a princess maybe? chellsey [cousin on the farr side] as a zombie looking thing, and adrian as a witch


me on a quad... this is part of my not-so-cute phase. feel blessed that you get to see it. haha


apparently this is one of my many birthdays spent at the cabin with my farr family


grandpa neilson sent this to mom in '92... i thought it was so funny... and so very fitting for this time of year!



that is the front and back of a picture... the backs of pictures are almost as funny as the pictures themselves!


kelsey, adrian, grandma farr, me and chellsey riding horses at the cabin one year...


adrian, me & shooshy pup, lexi, austin, ashley and kelsey


speaking of our puppy... me and kelsey made these signs all the time when we were potty-training our dog... im not sure if this one was by me or kels... but its so funny! "puppy pea" hahaha!


i really have to preface this next one. there was a time in our young lives that me and my sisters didnt get along as well as we do now. and once upon a time, dad would let us go to the trampoline and literally let us fight it out. anything was game while we were on it [well, there was no throwing people off...] and apparently grandpa and grandma neilson were here for one of those sessions. this is a picture that i got in the mail from my grandma... i think i love the back of it the most...

hahaha! oh man... that is so funny! we sure do look happy in that picture... so apparently daddy's strange technique worked! :)

Very cute walk down memory lane!!! Those pictures made me smile!

You are the cutest little bat I’ve ever seen! I think Kelsey was supposed to be Princess Jasmine. What should Hayley be for Halloween? That puppy pea is hilarious! I don’t even remember that, but I can totally see you doing that!

That picture of us fighting is so funny! It looks like you’re beating me up! I actually have a very similar picture (where it looks like I’m winning) and Grandma wrote on the back “I hope this never happens again.” I feel a little bad about now, but it’s kind of funny too!
