Maroon 5
“My mother must have ransacked the Sears catalog to purchase these Sears Tuffskins maroon denim outfits (with white top-stitching) for all five of us kids. She got matching outfits for herself and Dad, who aren’t in the photo. Then we all went to Six Flags Over Georgia, where we were mistaken for – on multiple occasions – either a gospel group or a a country music band. As the eldest child (12) and only girl…I was completely mortified and spent most of the day dragging 20 feet behind my family. Flash forward 44 years and it is now my brothers’ and my most ‘precious’ (and totally hilarious) memory! Embrace the awkward!”

Wedding Crasher
“After our wedding ceremony our photographer and wedding party went around to take pictures and while we were at this park along the river. She thought it’d be neat for my new husband to dip me backwards and kiss me while holding my leg up. Well, my nerves must not have been settled since our recent exchange of vows because I accidentally leaned back after giving him my leg, but before he was ready to hold me. I actually forgot all about this even happening until I saw our photographers photos. There’s actually a 3 picture series of me falling, but this one is my favorite because of everyone’s faces. I also love how my hand is desperately seeking help, and the fact that my husband is smiling about it.”

A Bunny Tail
‘We took a trip to ride the Texas State Railroad’s Easter Egg Express down in Rusk, TX. It was the first time my son had seen an Easter bunny up close, and he wasn’t too sure the bunny was legit. The fun continued because the bunny even road the 2 hour train ride with us.”

You Stole My Easter
‘I think I’m around 3 years old in this photo and my brother would have been around 7. Although I don’t remember anything about what was in those baskets, I do remember being tremendously upset that my brother had stolen mine and refused to give it back. My parents still say they were basically the same basket with maybe one or two things different, but even now I’m not buying it.”
