Snow White must have been ripe

Hi. Welcome to every grown ups worst nightmare. A picture of them and their sibling in matching outfits. Don't my brother and I look thrilled to be in matching Hawaiian shirts? I'm quite sure my parents did this not because it was cute but so they could find us easier in a crowd. I don't really remember much about this except we were at Disneyland, which I believe is quite apparent by Snow White sitting on the wall like Humpty Dumpty. The other two guys in the picture are my two cousins, Twiddle Dee and Twiddle Dumb. Sad to say I can't remember the last time I even saw them and as far as I know they live right here in San Antonio. My brother looks like he's doing his "What you talking 'bout, Willis?" face. My face looks like I smell something rotten so I guess what my mom said is true. You keep making a face long enough and it freezes that way. But who is the mystery girl on the end? Wouldn't it be great if she grew up to be Julia Roberts or something? Then I could tell everyone I went to Disneyland with pretty woman.

Won't you join me on a trip down memory lane?


Everyone thinks "How cute, you're brother is helping you up!" But to this day I swear he was actually pushing me down so he could get all the good pictures. Camera hog!

Okay maybe this is just me, but when I first saw this picture of my brother, the theme from Jaws kept playing in my head. Remember the little boy with the yellow raft who was eaten by the shark and his mom kept screaming for him when everyone ran out of the water and all they found was his mangled raft??! Don't go in the water, dude.

Yes, this was me just getting up from a nap. You think my mom would love me enough to at least style my hair or something. When my husband saw this picture for the first time he said "Wow, you still look just like that when you wake up". We are now going through a divorce.

So I like to call this one "My best side" because all you can see is my butt. Look at my brother in his little knee high socks and perfect part in his hair. Do ya think his shorts are pulled up high enough? White socks and black shoes? Apparently, I didn't care for his fashion sense and decided to haul ass out of there.

Here I am making a Miss Prissy face with my Hawaii grandparents and my dad. We were on our way to Disneyland and my parents kept taking picture after picture. "SMILE K!!" Ugh...even back then I'd had enough. Dig on my dad's cool 60's rat pack sweater.
I love this picture of my mom on her wedding day. The chubby faced girl in front is her sister, my aunt Elsa. My dad likes to refer to this picture as "Can I pick them or what?". My mom is stunning in this picture, she reminds me of an old fashioned movie star.

Man, these pictures are great. I have so many pictures that make me wish I could remember that particular time in my life. Why don't we ever know when we have it good?
