I'm with Megan, I love those old pictures! Kaden has a picture with a green one of those things on his head. He and Mel must be soul brothers.

Very cute!! Dont' you love/hate looking back and seeing how innocent and sweet we all seemed to be before we got married, then life just gets crazy, and for me at least, it is my body that suffers.....the guys seem to have a much easier time of it. Do you think Steve has changed at all in 13 years?
Crazy that it has been 11. Happy anniversary and happy belated b. day Mel!!!

Thanks Nicole again..

Where did you get that purple hat? Is it one of those balls that you cut up or something? I love it.

You are a year older than me, and I was a junior in high school in 1996. I know you and Mel did not start dating your senior year. I know I'm bad at math, but I don't think this adds up. Did you start dating at the very beginning of college?

Great pics, I loved the flashbacks. Happy Anniversary!

Jessica said...

Great pictures! I love seeing people I know now when they were younger! Hope you had a great anniversary!

He, he, love the early pictures, you never realize how fast time passes until you take time to look back, huh? Happy Anniversary! Maybe one of these days we will actually have a complete conversation?
