(No vivid memories from age 1, but I thought the pic was cute, so there it is! lol)
So many of my childhood memories are vaguely strung together, but really good and heartwarming! The fun family get-togethers on both sides, summer fun at our pool and at WhiteWater Bay and Frontier City, watching America's Funniest Home videos every night with Rach, hosting fun end-of-year parties for our classes, playing games with Rach that we made up based on the books we read in school (Noah Webster, Little House on the Prairie, Little Pilgrims' Progress, etc.), playing baseball with Grandad and Rach and Blake in our front yard, eating cookie dough and butterscotch pudding, family road trips, Super Bowl parties, etc. I also have fond introvert-child memories of climbing trees and climbing the red, white, and blue monkey bars Grandad built then laying on top of them and looking over at the horses next door (who I named Penny and Black Beauty).
For my "vivid memory," I'll go with our 1996 San Antonio trip with the Wallaces! =) This was in the days of Surge, POGs, hackey sacks, Oakley sunglasses, and Rach and I wearing lots of Nike and sports gear! lol Oddly enough, I don't remember much about what we saw and did there, but I remember we laughed a lot and we listened to the T-Bone rap CD and the Newsboys Breakfast song over and over on our road trip there and back, singing along but doing a loud *clap* instead of singing the word "hell." lol (Me, Rach, Clint, and Ty all rode together the whole time, switching back and forth between Mom and Dad's van and Bill and Debbie's.) We had adjoining hotel rooms, and at night, we kids played cards whilst our parents watched TV and planned for the next day. We played spades, and Clint and I worked out a code system to cheat and beat Rach and Ty. lol Aww, memories! 'Twas a fun trip and fun times with the Wallace fam!! We had that framed sketch of the four of us hanging up for years after that trip. =)
