friday flashback 03.12.10

It took me a while to get this picture scanned. Not sure where the problem is, whether it's the actual scanner, or the connection, or the software, but it's been REALLY temperamental as far as working on Fridays goes, over the last month or so. But, I finally got it all to work together...

We're in front of the compound (actually just off to the side in front of the "lot" next door). If I remember right, Keith was getting ready to head up to Utah... or back up to Utah... or just got back from Utah... (or was it Idaho?) ...OK, so maybe I don't remember specifically, but it's one of those (I'm pretty sure).

I don't think we had Liam yet, so I'm guessing it's mid-2002. I'm wearing workout clothes, and Kevin and I did that mostly before Liam and Aidan were born. I also know that it's morning because we worked out in the mornings. That's what makes me think Keith's leaving rather than arriving.

Anna must have just gotten her dreads re-tied and rolled. They look all tight.

I think this is the car that had the dashboard display in the windshield? I think that's why I'm on that side of the door. I think I was checking it out.

Anyhow, it's a fun old picture.

friday flashback 02.19.10

Hey, look at me, I remembered to do a friday flashback amidst my busy schedule today!

Here it is...

We're at the Pali lookout at the Nu'uanu Pali State Park in Hawaii. As you can tell, it's WINDY there. This is from our family trip in 2001.

Kyle and Keith are posing twins (doing the same thing in the picture).

Anna's dreads were going crazy in the wind. Mom's hair was probably just as crazy, and Kristi probably had her dreads tied up (or is it down?).

Our shirts were very filled with air... yeah, that's it... they were filled with air... that's why they look all filled out!

This spot is on my personal "must do" list when ever I go to Hawaii. Probably because I've visited there every time I've ever been to Hawaii. My Hawaii is the island of Oahu. Anna's Hawaii is the island of Hawaii. We've never been there as just a couple, so it'll be interesting to see how we compromise any future Hawaii trip itinerary.

Which reminds me, we need to plan our anniversary trip. Hawaii is on the list, as well as a cruise, and Portland, Oregon. We should probably start the booking process soon to get the cheapest rates. Anyone have an opinion on any of that? Or advice?

Friday Flashback 08.28.09

It has come to my attention that choosing things randomly kind of makes them less personal...

So I chose today's flashback picture.


Yes, I really chose this picture from the handful I pulled out...

I believe we are at an airport to greet Keith as he walks off the plane, having successfully completed his mission in Colorado.

Looks as though I'm giving Kevin some advice on proper video camera handling.

Anna appears to be very impressed with my camera-advice-giving skills. Might I add that this is quite a good picture of Anna with her dreads.

I'm not sure what year it is. Is it 2000?... or early 2001? Help me out if you can.
