This first photo is Tyler's family, back in July of 1980, on Melanie's baptism day. From left to right: Jackie, Richard, Lance, Melanie, Tara, Marcia, Tyler. Check out Marcia's hair! I love that do. And what you can't see in this picture is that Melanie had red knee-high stockings with white mary jane shoes.

This one is Richard and Tyler on Christmas morning in 1982. Tyler got some little hammer set. The scariest part is that Tyler looks a little bit like his dad did back in 1982.

This one is me, in 1985. It's my preschool picture! Don't you love my hair-cut? My mom was my hair cutter, hair stylist... and she was self taught. You'd never guess, would you? How many of you remember these plastic charm necklaces? I remember them quite vividly, and I truly loved mine.

This is one of my favorite pictures of all times, taken around 1986 or 87. From left to right: my cousin Brittany, me, Wendi, and Brittany's sister, Heather. We were the best of friends. I remember dressing up in our dance outfits ('cause you CAN'T dance without them) and performing for everyone at all our family parties. I remember specifically liking these outfits 'cause they looked like the totally awesome 80's exercise leotards that were all over TV. Our favorite music to dance to was Paula Abdul. She was our FAVORITE!

And this family picture is a real winner. I think this was around 1988, when Kyler was about 1 year old. Particularly noteworthy items: my dad's moustache, and Wendi's and my fabulously "grown-up" hair styles. We loved when Mom did our hair like that because it looked so adult-like. We were so cool.

Those are some awesome pictures! It makes me want to bust out my boxes and take a look at all of mine!
I love that!! I was thinking the other day that 1999-2000 didn't seem that long ago, but some of the pictures that I pull out from that "era" are already pretty funny.
We are getting old!!
I love that I made your flash back friday pictures! I feel so special. Just kidding. I remember those days just like yesterday. Those pictures are hilarious. I look forward to seeing the new pictures every friday!

For some reason my computer has the hardest time with your blog. I have been trying to leave posts but they never show up. I was almost tempted to do an entire post on my blog to you, but then realized that would be creepy! I love your blog and how on the ball you are. ok--let's see if this works!

These pictures are great! The hairstyles rocked in the 80's :)
Email me with the tracking who is looking at your blog trick. Wendi was telling me about it but I am computer illiterate! Let me know!
Meagan!!! You are such a cute mama. Your little Olivia is so dang cute!! OOOH those cheeks look so bite-able...I loved looking at your blog. Love ya!!!
Oh my gosh! The charm necklace picture just about killed me...too funny. I also have dozens of pictures of me prancing around in leotards as a young lass. Even one in which I taped kleenexes to my head and arms to add to the effect. Not quite what sure I was thinking, but I'm sure it made sense at the time.
