The Family Pictures that make you cringe...and a few that don't!!

 Mom clearly coordinated our outfits...we are all wearing collared shirts here...
 And here we are all in sweaters...
 I'm guessing this was around 1990 or 1991...
 At Dad's 50th Birthday party...Cindy. Carey, Kim, Dad, Mom, Steve, Cathy
 Beach 1987
 Ok, so we were cute sometimes...this is a good picture of all 5 of us!
  This was around 1991?  Maybe even as late as 1995?   Nice outfits everyone!  I wonder if we were trying to "co-ordinate"?  Too funny...  (I still have that sweater...)
You have GOT to be kidding me!!  First day of school picture, Goldsboro, NC...Kim 5th, Cindy 6th, Carey 7th...Cathy 1st?  Steven not in school yet...Classic.
 Kim, Carey, Cindy...summer 1975?  Stinkin' cute!!
 Look at that smile on Kim's face!!  And look at those outfits!!  So perfect!!
 The oh so rare picture of my mom with all five of us.  Lovely!!

 Cathy and her Safeway hat!!
The nightgowns are pure classic...Katie, Carey, Kim, Cindy, Cathy, Bobby...adorable kids.

Other holidays on the Hill...

 Christmas, Halloween, Summer...times with family in Kilmarnock, VA.
 Staring Carey and Cindy as ghosts, Kim as an indian, Kristi as Wonderwoman, Cathy thrilled to be a clown (seriously) and I don't know who the other little girl is or what she was trying to be...Trick or treat!
 I have always loved this picture of Aunt Anne with Kendra, Kristi, Carey and me.  Look at those cute summer haircuts!
We loved our Uncle Booper!!

Easter on the Hill

 We spent a number of our Easters on the Hill at Grandmoms...dressing for church was always an adventure, who knows whos handmedowns we were wearing in any given year?  The above was circa 1989...the below maybe mid 80s?

 These have to be Easter 1975..Kim looks to be maybe 1 1/2 ?  I would have been almost 3?  Carey 4?  Feels about right.
 Grandmom, Kendra, Cindy and Kim Easter morning on the Hill...maybe 1982?  I look about 10...Kim would have been 9?  Give or take...

Front Porch Pics

At Uncle Boopers...I think we were there for his graduation?  Not sure but there we all were!  From top down: Bobby, Teddy, Steven, Katie, Beth, Kim, Carey, Cindy, Cath 

 Love this picture:  Uncle Bob, Cindy, Dad, Aunt Margie, Katie, Bobby, Beth, Mom, Carey, Grandmom and Kim...what a neat picture.  Circa summer 1975, cause Kim looks like she could be going on two...note the cute little puppy in the bottom of the picture...look how young my parents were!  Mom was probably only in her late 20s...
 Yeah, so, not so cute anymore...classic family picture though...clockwise, Kristi, Carey, Cathy, Cindy, Kim, Josh, Steve, Jeremy...and Pretty the cat.  Love this picture and the memories of the Hill that it brings back.
The guys on the front porch..with the girls watching...note especially Jack, Uncle Bob and my Dad on the top row...Uncle Frankie and Steven in front of him, Uncle Booper with Josh, Bobby, Uncle Joe with Jeremy, not sure who the guy in front is???, Dave on the side...girls on the outside include me, Kim, Kristi, maybe Carey sneaking in there??  Fun times on the Hill.

Grandmom Conkle is the girl in the middle on the bottom row.
