Sooo...these are some random old pictures ;)

Turns out we have some really cute and funny old pictures on our old computer ;) So here are some ones that I thought were funny, show you what we used to look like, etc;)

This is in our old house in Shelbyville. Me and Clara brushing teeth. Lots of fun.

OK, as you can see these aren't in chronological order...2005, me before my first Happy Birthday Jesus. Can I get an Awwwww? ;)

Yes...well...maybe you should skip this one.

OK, this is Clara and Ellie and I in a clown skit (yes a clown skit) at our old school. I think I'm about 10 (which would make Clara 8 and Ellie 5) This is the reason for Tristan calling Ellie "sugar tongs" for all of our co-op years. Don't ask.

Burton at age 4 at Whitefish Dunes in Wisconsin. Someone had dug this three foot deep, five feet across pit in the sand. Burt was having a race with someone (might have been me, actually) and somehow ended up running and jumping face-first into this sand pit. He surfaced with sand everywhere. EVERYWHERE. ;)

Clara at 6. Isn't she adorable? ;) She was always one to do poses she thought were really cool. Like this one.

Me and mom taking selfies (with an old fashioned digital camera:) in 2006.

My ninth birthday. Someone's a little jealous, perhaps? ;)

My eighth birthday party. My largest, as you can see ;) The names, clockwise from the little girl with the hair bow in the foreground, who is Katie: Emily, Rachel, Audrey, Clara, Sierra, Chelsea, Holly, Calla (Calla's mom on chair), Elizabeth, Katie W.,Lauren, Cheyenne, Morgan, Me. A lot of these people now go to CEC, by the by.

I had to put this one in there. You should know the real Heidi. I have no memory of why I was dressed like this, where we are going, or what we were doing. Or why were in the truck-- we really rarely drive it with the family.

February 2009- Park Bench at the Little Colonel Playhouse. I was playing a superdiva.

You didn't think I'd leave  this one out, did you? :)

Now this was funny. The OC Historical society used to have a place where you should try on civil war outfits. Four year old Mary would have been absolutely adorable in the specially made Shirley Temple costume. Except she was having none of it. She made that face the entire time it was on her. ;)

My first ever headshot. Yeah, I know. Mom and I later read the rules for a headshot and this broke all of them. Not outside, no busy backgrounds, no messy hair, etc etc

And-- my Betty costume from Annie at MTL in 2010. I used the above headshot to audition for the play, and applied and was accepted into the intensive camp where you got to be in orphan chorus for a few performances.

So...my life in the past years ;) Hoped you enjoyed.

Hmmm...

You know you're kindof into musical theatre when you ask your two year old brother what Tony Awards video you're watching and he knows it's Seize the Day from "New-dies" ;)

Happy!

Be Happy.

Oh I'm as happy as a big sunflower
I laugh and dance and play
and as I frolic about the town
I laugh the day away.

Oh I'm as happy as a daffodil
I smile at the sun
and when I realize I've wasted a day
I say, twas a happy one.

Oh I'm as happy as a round red rose
I  blush from head to toe
and when I get to the end of the day
still happiness I show.

Oh I'm as happy as a daisy white
and though I'm not so smart
I know that if you want "content"
Be happy! it's a start.

Oh I feel fine though some say I
should not feel so carefree
Well I'll stay merry until you show
a reason not to be!
