Kar in the Eighties

One of my old friends started a group on Facebook for our ward growing up. She asked me to add some photos to this group's online album, so I scanned a few. I thought it might be fun to post the pictures here.

Here's my very first t-ball team, the Strawberry Shortcakes:

I'm on the top row, third girl from the left.

This is my class picture from my first year at Longfellow - 3rd grade:

I am on the second-to-top row, fifth person from the left. That dress was the dress I wore to my baptism. I loved it!! Some of my bloggy friends will find themselves in the above picture. :)

The following picture is from the Longfellow Talent show, at the end of my third grade year:

My next-door neighbor, Melissa, who was two years older than me, talked me into singing "The Rose," that cheesy Bette Midler song, with her. I was so nervous that I thought I would pass out. I really, really hate singing in front of people, to this day. I'm the one in the burgandy skirt.

This is my fourth grade "group shot." Some dork had a bright idea to just put everyone's individual pictures in a collage, and call it a "group shot." Duh:

I'm on the third row from the bottom, third person from the left.

And this is Halloween during my fourth grade year. I was Charlie Chaplin, the one on the right:

Dylan just saw this picture and said, "Mom, why did you dwess like a man for Halloween??" Like it's the weirdest idea he has ever heard of. :)
