MOM, WILL YOU FROST MY TIPS?

THIS WAS ANOTHER TENDER THAT I JUST HAPPENED TO FIND. MOM "FROSTING" MY BROTHERS HAIR. THIS IS SUCH A 90'S STYLE. I CANT BELIEVE THAT HE ACTUALLY STRUTTED AROUND HIGH SCHOOL WITH CURLY FROSTED TIPS.

I CAN TELL THAT MY MOTHER WAS HAVING A LOT OF FUN DOING IT THOUGH. SHE HAS HER CREATIVE FACE ON IN THIS PICTURE.

A WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

LOOKING AT OLD PICTURES ALWAYS ADDS A SWEET FEELING OF JOY TO MY DAY. I GET VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT MY CHILDHOOD MEMORIES. THOSE DAYS WERE THE BEST.

THE JAPANESE EXCHANGE STUDENTS EYE AND YOSHIKO. I DEFINATELY WAS THE HAPPIEST ONE IN THE FAMILY TO HAVE THEM STAY WITH US.
DANCER OF THE YEAR. MY OLD DANCE YEARS WERE SOME OF THE BEST. MY FIRST TAP SOLO WAS DEFINITELY ONE TO REMEMBER. I NEVER BELIEVED THAT I ACTUALLY HAD A TALENT.
MY FIRST SLEEPOVER. I WAS SO SURPRISED WHEN MY MOM LET ME SLEEPOVER AT KELLIE HATTONS HOUSE. IT WAS SUCH A FUN TIME.
THE COUSINS. SOME OF MY BEST SUMMER MEMORIES WERE THE TIMES WITH THE COUSINS. WE WOULD EITHER GO VISIT THE RIVERS IN IDAHO OR THEY WOULD COME VISIT US. EITHER WAY I MISS THE FUN TIMES WITH THE COUSINS. I REMEMBER ICE BLOCKING AND SWIMMING, SPENDING TIME AT GRANDMA'S HOUSE AND HAVING SLEEPOVERS.

HAPPY 18TH BECCA MOEN!!

ON FEBRUARY 25TH 2010 REBECCA NOEL MOEN TURNED 18 YEARS OLD. I HAVE KNOWN HER SINCE WE WERE JUST FIVE YEARS OLD AND LOOK AT US NOW.. WE ARE ADULTS! I LOVE THIS WOMAN. SHE WAS MY FIRST FEMALE BEST FRIEND. I CAN REMEMBER ON THE FIRST DAY OF FIRST GRADE SHE SAT NEXT TO ME AND I INTRODUCED MYSELF. THAT WHOLE DAY WE PLAYED AT RECESS TOGETHER AND EVEN EXCHANGED PHONE NUMBERS. BY THAT NIGHT WE HAD ALREADY ARRANGED OUR FIRST PLAY DATE. FROM THAT DAY FORWARD WE HAVE BEEN INSEPARABLE. BEST FRIENDS FOREVER.

EVERYONE ALWAYS CALLED US TWO PEAS IN A POD. WE HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE SAME SIZE SINCE FIRST GRADE AND STILL TODAY. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN SEPARATED MANY TIMES THROUGHOUT OUR FRIENDSHIP BUT THAT NEVER CAUSED A PROBLEM. WE HAVE ALWAYS FOUND OURSELVES BACK TOGETHER.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE FRIEND I HAVE LOVED THE LONGEST. WE STILL FIGHT AS MUCH AS WE DID WHEN WE WERE FIVE AND WE STILL LAUGH AS MUCH AS WE DID WHEN WE WERE FIVE. I HAVE MORE MEMORIES WITH THIS GIRL THAN ANY OTHER FRIEND. SHE IS HILARIOUS, STRONG WILLED, FEISTY, SENSITIVE, ATHLETIC, AND GIRLY GIRL ALL IN ONE. I LOVE BECCA MOEN!FOR THE 18TH BIRTHDAY EXTRAVAGANZA WE MADE SURE THAT EVERYONE WAS IN A GREAT MOOD AND BROUGHT HER BALLOONS AND BK BREAKFAST BECAUSE SHE REFUSED TO LET US TAKE HER OUT TO BREAKFAST AT 6 AM.
SO WE TOOK HER OUT TO LUNCH AND HAD A GRAND OLD TIME.

WILD TIMES WITH AUNTIE EM

I LOVE IT WHEN AUNTIE EM GETS TO BABY-SIT ME. EVERY TIME SHE DOES I GET TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.

FIRST SHE LET ME TRY ON HER SUNGLASSES AND TOUCH THE BUTTONS ON HER PHONE.
THEN I GOT TO ACT LIKE A MODEL AND BE COOL JUST LIKE MY DAD.
LASTLY SHE LET ME TOUCH HER BRIGHT LAP TOP COMPUTER.. AHH I LOVE BUTTONS.
I LOVE SPENDING TIME WITH MY AUNTIE EM AND CANT WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE HAS IN STORE FOR ME THE NEXT TIME SHE BABY SITS.

I'VE ALREADY LEARNED HOW TO:

• SQUEEK IN A REALLY HIGH PICTCHED VOICE
• HEAD BUTT
• MAKE NOISE WITH MY FINGERS AND MOUTH
• AND SWITCH THE LIGHT SWITCHES

I LOVE YOU AUNTIE EM!

LOVE, DEAGEN
