30-some years and counting! My life in pictures..



...and what a wonderful life it is.


I made it to the top of Diamond Head with the hair still at a Fluff Level 10.




The Clark Family looks toward their bright future.




Click on the pic to see the leprechaun do a jig.




New York Citay!



Shiny, shiny!



Always at the bottom of the totem pole.


Mis queridas maracuchas



My cheerleader


My eagle scout


My twins following the example of Jesus


Our first home


The twins birth day

Baby A, 8.3 lbs. Baby B, 7 lbs

    There was no jigging, no jigging at all. My expectations are deflated.

    Holy cow. I'm not calling you a cow. I am in complete awe. I thought you wouldn't ever show that picture. It gives me hope that my one-child belly might one day go away.

    I can't believe there was no jigging. Color me disappointed.

    a few things:
    first there was no jig
    2nd who has 8 and 7 pound twins? Unheard of!
    3rdly- your eagle scout is a hunk. he was or is a model right? Air brushed and all!
    4th- i should have guessed you were a dancer.
    5th-love the changed background- i change mine all too often- A.D.D. i guess - and so appreciate when others do the same.

    and last
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

    Happy birthday Annie!! Today is my #4 son's birthday too, only he is 7 instead of 30 something...
    My little (twin) sisters were about equal in weight to your twins when they were born (8lb 12 oz and 6lb 9 oz or something like that)...I can't imagine the discomfort!

    That was so fun. You did not look very comfortable in the picture before you told us you gave birth to 15 pounds of babies!

    You still smiled. Just like you Annie. That's part of your charm. I know you'll have a great birthday.

    I must be missing something...I think I have got to have twins before I can be that proud of my vastness....that photo was taken at the most glamorous angle ever!!!

    And, those we some big twins.

    I can't believe you got your body back....you will have to give us all of your tricks!

    And, just as a sidenote, I was a sister missionary once too.

    What fun photos ----Holy freaking smokes, I do think we look better as we age??? Or maybe it is we are just so "shocked" by the fashion changes and the "I can't believe I wore my hair like that or that I wore that" the we just THINK we are looking better (I am speaking of me mainly, not you....ah your hair always looked good and you had a good fashion sense ---guess I should Shut Up now. This is kinda DOWN the list of comments, so you may not even see it.
