Family and Julie Pictures



This is an old portrait that is beginning to dissolve somehow.  My brother, Matt, s three years younger than I am so I would put my age around four and a half in this photo (if he were about 1 1/2). Don't you just love the pointed, wide collars on my borther's Western shorts and the big belt buckles?! These were Lisa and my "Pioneer" Dresses.  They came with "bonnets" but we are not wearing them in this picture.  My dress is pink and my sister Lisa's is mint green.  My Dad's suit is Blue and my mother's dress is a light blue (along with Matt's suit little suit) as I recall.


This picture was taken around 1979 (?).  It was around the first Thanksgiving my parents celebrated up Hobble Creek Canyon in a little A frame cabin they purchased in 1978.

 

I am around the age of 15 in the above photo.  My borther Keith, Jr. has come home sick from his German speaking mission.


This is a picture my mom took of my hair after a date dance.  You will see the "peanut gallery" laughing on the other side of the wall. Note the "banana clip" which lined the hair up in a straight line in the center on the head.

Easter with sweet Susan T'sien in the backyard of the Arapahoe House.
 

I am in college in this picture (18?) and had finished a final and gone stright to the Olan Mills Portrait Place where the female photographer keeps getting after my younger (but tallest) brother Matt who wore gas permeable lenses for making "psycho eyes."

Lisa and Keith Jr.'s BYU Graduation (pre-mission, 1994?)

 
Lunch at the BYU Skyroom Restaurant with my parents before heading to the MTC.
(The bottom picture is after my mission--the dress I am wearing was one picked up from a mission apartment in Finland, 1996?).

Gingerbread Fun


The children had a good time decorating gingerbread boys and girls and a house. Liam mostly enjoyed eating the candy.
