Okay, this was Paul's wonderful idea. If anyone doesn't know how to post a picture, but you have one on your computer (or can scan it onto your computer), go ahead and email it to me and I'll put it up for you.
CJ says: "This is as young as pictures as I can find. Sorry we cant get our youngest pictures. I cant find them on the computer. We are like 9 and 10 in these…"
Well, I just happened to have old pictures on my computer because I had converted them from my mom's old slides to cd! Pretty handy! So here are a couple of little Dianes:
Paul, you looked so similar to my nephew Noah- it's crazy! Here's a picture of him and Eden from last summer when we had a family reunion at the Oregon coast:
Joseph, you have on a DAVY CROCKETT shirt. Awwww. I bet you know all the words to the song too right? Davy, Davy Crockett - king of the wild frontier.
That is so cute. Your baby picture is adorable. Joseph, you have a great family there. That picture was taken in 1957 one year after Elvis became very popular in 1956. Remember?

And here's Paul!
Yeah, almost most a carbon copy...Whoopssss....should be copy and paste these days
This is fun you guys. Thanks everybody for sharing...Good idea Paul.
Charity, great joy with the pictures you're helping get posted. Looks like you enjoy "Paskettttty"
This is pre-rapture REUNION time.
If you can gang, come on and join the fun...this to good to pass up.
This is going to be a "Board Buster" for sure
Yep, Texas Sue, I remember most of the words but, I've got the tune down pat. Can't forget Elvis...nope
Charity and Texas Sue, can you see me blushing through the keyboard....shucks...
I just put your picture through my Super Duper HD NASA Highlighter Spectrometer "thing a ma jiggy" and LOOK at that Beautiful Basking in the Sunlight Glow Blond Hair of yours...WOW!!!
No wonder your brother is SMILING SO BIG, I would too.
Diane, you look really Pretty in your Easter Bonnet and blue out fit with the nice white trim around your shoulders...Do you have any chocolate Easter eggs left?
Private Randy, looks like you and Captain Tim had some good times playing Army. You're a handsome chap in your baby picture Bro.
How about CJ and Jesse, what handsome lads they are in their pics. Full of life and fun.
And Charity, I thought the beautiful picture of your mother playing the piano was YOU "LilSis"...had me convinced it was You.
T/Sue- Char and me are brother and sister, and so are you!!!! (joke)Is'nt funny how we are all many miles apart but can have the same features etc. But so individual, Thats our Father for us.
Joseph- Brother I loved the photo of you and the family. Reminds me of a quieter time, growing up.
Charity- Wow, your nephew Noah. Same coloured hair etc as me. When we were kids you were called "Copper Tops" if you had reddish coloured hair. Now the kids say Ranga's short for an Orangutan. My kids even call me that sometimes, because part of my beard has red in it.
Knight Michael, you look absolutely adorable sitting on that little pony in your cowboy gear!! Darling!
This is is my beloved grandmother in her wedding dress. I was named for her and spent a good amount of my childhood with her as my mother was not able to take care of us. I know she will look just like this in heaven.
Beautiful pic TS.... I love looking at old pics and wondering how life was for them...
I would have to dig through boxes of pics of my kids to find the couple of me...lol... now all my pics are on the computer but not those that I took before digital.

Texas Sue...your grandmother is very pretty in this picture.
I know my dad's mother is in Heaven as my Aunt Virginia told me that my grandmother told the family right before she died in effect..."I'll see you there..." She died when my Aunt was in the 8th grade.
Lynn, you are a sweetie for bumping this up. I love your picture, very, very sweet. There you are looking after your baby brother - you started very early in life looking after everyone. God has given you a wonderful, big heart.
Randy, you and Jan are a very well-matched couple. You know how they say as you grow older you begin to look alike? You started out looking alike so you have a head start.
Joseph, my apologies! I am so glad Lynn bumped up this one because I had completely missed your work on my little girl photo. You said,
Texas Sue, you "Doll" you.

Now I am not sure what kind of machine you're talking about but it did help that old black and white picture clear a bit. Thanks also for the ocmpliment. You are a sweetheart!
Calling all RITA family members! Come post your pictures and join in the fun! It's great to be a kid again.
Charity, I DID notice the difference. You must have one of those wonder-rama-machines like Joseph! Very impressive. Isn't my Granny just beautiful? She looks like a character in an Emily Bronte story from the Victorian age like Wuthering Heights or Little Women. You will meet her in heaven and you will love her right away. She is the best granny ever.
Ha, ha - Yeah Joyful Susan, aren't those pants GROOVY?? LOL! Actually, I wish I still had them. They're RETRO now. I could probably sell them!
Yes, I was girlie. My daughter, however has always been a tomboy. Hated dresses, dolls, etc., so we always had a battle when she was young as I always had trouble understanding why she didn't want all the dolls I was pushing on her, but loved cars, trucks, and for some strange reason, office supplies
LOL, yeah one of her favorite "toys" was a full sized briefcase. Strange. She has gone on to marry a wonderful man that cooks like a professional, and she is a television director for a ministry here - and builds websites on the side - so still not too girlie. Can't convince her to give me any grandkids either right now
I certainly remember hip huggers! I had lots of easter egg colored clothes too! I remember thinking I was fat back in those days too. Unbelievable. I wish I could be "fat" like that again today - and fit in those same pants!
Diane, you and J/Susan are so funny - I remember those hip huggers too. Does anybody (from way back) remember the white go-go boots? Seems like I remember WIGS were even "in" at some point, the platinum blonde ones. I remember having one, but I don't think the "fad" lasted long. And madras handbags? Madras ANYTHING! And "weejuns"? Oh my - sooo many things coming back to me.
I love looking at all the pics here - this has been so much fun - I'd post some if I HAD some - don't have a scanner either. Keep em coming ya'll - this is fun!!!!
Oh yeah, I remember my sister-in-law and one of my best friends wearing the hair pieces - to give them that big hair look TS. Mine was always long and straight - never did put it up. (that hippie look thing going) (although I didn't know what a hippie was at the time) Thanks for reminiscing with me guys - this was fun!
