Fight Of The Bumblebee
“This photo was taken at a Halloween party when I was about 7 or 8 years old. The party was hosted by a co-worker of my Mom’s and she insisted that my family wear matching costumes. My Dad was none too thrilled about this and refused for a long time. In fact it took several beers to get him into those tights. I don’t remember feeling one way or the other about it, but the look on my face says it all. And the look on Mom’s face tells just how pleased she was with her grand idea. That year my Mom decided to use this photo as our family Christmas card, which did not go over well for Dad when he walked into our family optometrist’s office and was greeted with, ‘Hey, you’re the bee guy!'”

I Should Have Been On Drugs
“This is probably one of the worst school pictures ever. I must have been laughing when he took the picture. But why would my mom send me out like that with my hair like that, knowing that it was picture day? Everyone who sees it asks me, “Were you on drugs?”, my response was “No!”, but I should have been. I am a fairly good looking guy, I promise.”

Dress Code
“My siblings were in a heated debate regarding what colors to wear for family pictures. My mom was sick of the argument so she said, ‘Just wear whatever!’….after my little brother and I showed up wearing this, she will never say that again.”

Recreating The Sleepiness
“For our dad’s 80th birthday, we decided to recreate a picture of all 5 kids sleeping. Or pretending to sleep. I’m the baby who wouldn’t close her eyes for the picture. The best part is my two older sisters still wear matching pajamas, 45 years later!”

Born this Way
“This is me at age 17 pretending to be Lady Gaga…and well my mom decided to embarrass me….but you might notice the way I look is pretty much embarrassing enough on it’s own!”

Mountain Biking
“This picture was taken by my Grandma. We had stopped to rest on an afternoon biking trip. Outside of that, there isn’t much more to say.”

Unbreakable
“My two sisters had leg injuries and my dad had two partially fractured vertebra because he fell down the shed in our garden. (Everybody is doing good though and they will be fine soon!) My dad had the great idea to take an early Christmas photo to send our friends and relatives to show how happy we are. My mom and I added our own dressings to fit into the picture.”
