WAY BACK WEDNESDAY - KATE AT GRANDMA'S 2008

Miss Kate E bug at Grandma's house, September 5th, 2008.  It looks like Grandma bribed her with candy and got a couple of cute pictures of our princess.

These 2 are my favorite.  Do you see that look?  That is a classic Kate look!

And of course, not sure about the puppy, Misha, either!!!

We love our baby!!!

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY - WHERE HAS MY LITTLE GIRL GONE?

March and May 2008

Where has my little girl gone?

Do you see that smile?

The silliness that is exploding out of her?

What about crazy eyes?

And, oh!  The laughing!  

I miss this little 7 year old girl!  She was SO, SO much fun that year!  Occasionally, I get a glimpse of crazy eyes or hear that laugh and it makes me smile so very big!  Faith, we love you so much!  I hope that you will smile, laugh, and just be yourself!

every. single. day.

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY - JENSEN FAMILY PROFESSIONAL PICTURES

Here are a couple of the professional pictures that we had taken as a young and growing family.  I wrote down the dates on the pictures that had them.  

December 1986

 

December 1988

December 1990

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY - SMILE POCATELLO

December 10, 1987, Pocatello was declared the smile capital of the United States. 

This was an assignment when I was in the 4th grade.  I did a poster of music lines with happy notes that were singing "Don't Worry ~ Be Happy!"  This picture was taken at the mall in Chubbuck.  

I am listed as "Michelle Jensen" which is what I went by at that time.  Nostalgic, I know!

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY - TRACY WAVES TO CROWD

This were 2 newspaper articles in the Idaho State Journal of Tracy in 1983 (almost 4 years old).
Baby bee waves at crowd!  (She was the only one on that side of the float, but I was there too!)

 

 

WAY BACK WEDNESDAY - GRANDPA KELLY GROWING UP PICTURES

I was tickled pink to find these pictures of my dad.  And my mom and I thought that it would be great if I could get some of these on the blog to print out. 

These are pictures (until last week) that I had never seen.  My grandma BarDee kept so many things, including his first lock of hair.  It was blond and still very much there! 

3 months
