Old Pics

Stacy and I have recently received some old pictures from when we were kids (Thanks Lynne and Dad!). I am amazed at the memories that come back when we receive them. Not only do Stacy and I get a kick out of seeing them and reminiscing, but it is great to see the reactions on our kid’s faces when they realize that their parents were also young/small at one time and that we actually look like them! Or is it the other way around? Either way, got to love the old clothes, haircuts, and colors of the 70's.

Stacy's on the right. Love the funky colors!

Pic with the Osmonds (Donny and Marie). I guess Donny even had purple socks on! Stacy is the one in front of Donny.


Donny's car. I thought he would have been driving something cooler like maybe a Pacer.


Nice Suits! Stacy is on the left.

I love this picture. I have no recolection of where we were but got to love the "Happy Time Orange Soda"!

My brother and I used to love running through the sprinklers! I remember one time that I cut the bottom of my foot on a metal sprinkler head. I was so bummed out because the next week I could not go in the ocean due to the cut. One other memory about that time...We saw a school of flying fish lift out of the ocean during that trip to the beach.


This was taken one Easter morning. We were so excited to have our fake lawn mowers! See the red and white post in the far upper left of the photograph? Remember when Brian pulled the neighborhood fire alarm and all the fire trucks that came to see what the problem was? I am sure that Brian does! :-)


I love this shot. It looks like I am being held by my younger brother Shawn. He and my Dad are the spitting image of eachother!

EEE GADS! Seventies.

My kids have been asking me to produce some old pictures from my childhood. I'm afraid of the mocking. The only thing worse than being a child of the 70's is being a child of the 80's!

Actually, no. 70's is worse.

Thanks for sharing. But I have to one up you....The first home in which I lived in for the first 4 yrs of my life was a house that we rented from the Osmonds, so I actually got try on the purple socks. Yes, they would actually stay there if they were in town-The Osmonds and the socks. HeHeHe

Those are so cool! I remember when we used to see Donny and Jimmy down at the BYU gym and soccer fields and Donny always had on purple socks too!
