I am finally getting around to scanning again after a busy summer.  I picked the oldest album that hasn't been scanned.  Some really old pics and then some of early marriage and starting our family. 

These are pics of me as a baby, my dad and Roxy, Me, Jeff and Sandy.  We lived in this mobile home while my Dad moved us around.  He worked in the oil fields in North Dakota.  The youngest, Court, was born about a year after that pic.  The wedding is that of my parents.

Could have skipped one of these but oh well.  This picture from 1962 is taken at my grandparents farm north of Bismarck, ND.  Left to right are my gma, Roxy, Me, Jeff, my dad holding Court, Sandy and my mom.  My gpa was taking the picture. The  dog is Rover, bless his heart.

This picture was taken in 1975 before we were married.  My mom, Jeff, Court, my dad, Sandy, Don's mother (Marylyn) and father (Dale).  Don is playing with Bubbles.

After we moved to our first house, we got a kitten.  This is Maggie.  She was a fiesty cat that NEVER went outside.  She was 12 or 13 years old and as we were backing out of the driveway one Sunday morning, we saw her out in the yard - very strange.  We never saw her again.

We went on a camping trip to Colorado - just the two of us.  Had a little tent and a Coleman stove.  Pretty fun. 

Good night Irene, I was huge.

Turn your heads, I have only so much patience with Picassa.  Here is Bill, Pav, Tami, Nancy with Joseph.  Christmas at Lao and Pao's.  Long before they were called that!!

Here's Becky.  She was/is stinkin' cute.  Kim and Sandy are in these, too.  She was a very easy baby. 

Pav and Diana.  My dad and Becky.  First babies get a lot of pictures, of course.

My mom with Becky.  Isn't she a cute baby?  Such great memories.

Grandma and Papa Rowe with B.

Court with B.  My mom and dad.

Don's Grandma Rowe and greatGrandma. More of Becky and Marylyn with Joseph.

Becky is 4 here.  This is out of order but isn't she cute.  I made that dress and her necklace is a chain with a ring that her Dad had as a baby. 

This pic was in the same album.  Here's Tiff.  Another adorable child. Her baby pictures will be later!!

Does the dress look similar to another?  I made them a lot of matching clothes because I thought it was really fun and they were too young to care.  HA - you get to do what you want at some point.  Not so much later.

Here's Don is his way cool slacks and check out THE HAIR.  The PGA passed up one of the greats.  :-)

1975-1977 or thereabout

So, I figured out how to scan pictures and save them.   I was given my first camera EVER when I was a freshman in college.  No such thing as digital - I was skimpy on the picture taking, didn't want to have to pay for developing a picture if it didn't turn out. 

 These are friends from my sorority.  The bottom pic is of me and Joyce - she was my pledge mom.  She went on to get a PhD in textile science and works for DuPont in Delaware.

 Top pic is my parents Rod and Marj at the house in Ralston (where I went to high school).  The boy is my brother Court.  Check out those tube socks. 

 Top pic from left to right - My dad,  Don,  Dale, Jeff, Sandy, Court, and Marylyn.  I was taking the picture.
Bottom - Jeff, me, Court, my Dad.  My dad had this boat for a few years and loved to take it out with my brothers.  Dale and Marylyn had a bigger boat that they would take out and we would water ski.  Don and my first date was water skiing with his parents.

 Check out that head of hair - and *gasp* those short swim trunks.  Oh baby!!

 Don with Pa and Irma when we went to Tucson to see them one winter break.  Bottom pic is Gpa and Gma Rowe (Dale's parents) at (I think) Marcia's wedding.

 The top pic would be my Gma Dann in Montana and Court.  We spent a week one summer (1977) painting her house on the ranch. 

 Dale and Marylyn at Marcia's wedding.

 Don and I were engaged by this picture. He loved his white tee shirts and I liked his haircuts.

 Pics out of order but hey - I'm just figuring out how to get them here.  I'm afraid if I try to rearrange them, they'll disappear and I'll never find them again.  These are more friends at ChiO.

 These are my grandparents Philip and Emma Monroe and the farmhouse they lived in for 50+ years.  Gma Emma was a kind, patient, and HARDWORKING woman. 

We lived in a 10' by 42' trailer when we were married.  This was our first Christmas.  The tree is actually the top of a tree that some friends had - they went home for Christmas and left us part of their tree.  We could not have fit anything bigger into the living room!!

 I graduated a year after we were married.  This is another view of our humble abode.

 Christmas time - Gpa and Gma Monroe, my parents and me.

My Dad at a ChiO function.  He was a good dancer and liked to kick up a rug.

Maeson and Rowen - 4th birthday party - 2012

 Maeson and Rowen's 4th birthday party for the family was held at Mahoney State park where they have an indoor playground.  They had pizza and pop - the kids had slushies.
