So, Josh already mentioned the fun we had looking (and laughing) at old photos with our parents over Spring Break. He posted his favorite picture so, of course, I had to post mine. This is one of Granddaddy and GranGran showing us the hottest moves of 1972. Aren't they cute? I hope Josh and I have the same amount of energy when we get to be 60.
While we were in Oklahoma, we had a chance to go through a lot of pictures at both the Davis and Irons houses. I just thought I'd show off one of my favorites. This picture is of the Davis family sometime around 1979 or 80. It's in the old house, so I must have been around 2 or 3. Quite a few things jumped out at me and the memories flooded back as I studied this photo.
Nate looks so different in this picture. There are a ton of him as a baby, but very few of him in this in-between age.
It looks like Angie is cheesing in Mom's rocking chair, which rocked Davis babies to sleep for probably 20 years.
It made the most comforting creaking noises as it rocked.
I'm in the background holding a balloon looking a little like Noah with longer hair. Right behind me is a red Tonka pickup truck that I remember solely because of its untimely demise. Someone left it in the driveway and either mom or dad backed right over the top of it. It was pretty dented up, but I've seen real cars that have looked worse after minor fender-benders. Tonka made TOUGH trucks back then.
Sarah is cute as a button in her green dress and chubby cheeks. It's easy to see Kenzie in her.
Anna looks a little ticked off, which is too bad because everyone else seems to be in such a good mood. We must be teasing her about being the "Cheese that stands alone" or being the daughter of Flookie.
Dad has an amusing look on his face, but to tell you the truth, I can't stop staring at those pants he's wearing. There is only one word for them: plaid-tastic.
I remember disliking having so many siblings when I was younger, but over time I came to really appreciate them all. I now feel sorry for people who didn't have enormous families growing up because I feel like they missed out. All in all this photo is a great glimpse into our family life from a period that I can just barely remember. Does anybody else have any insight on this picture?
