Ahem :)

Some sweet Christmas flowers from Hubby (just a couple months before he became Hubby).

Mom, Melanie and I went wedding dress shopping at Mann's House of Brides in Walla Walla, and bought the dress well in advance of my wedding.

Jer and me - The Twins

I was living with Neenaw and Gran in Redmond, Oregon at the time.  After Christmas, I rode the Greyhound bus home to Neenaw and Gran's house, and it took 20 hours. I'm not even kidding.

still smilin'

Christmas in Chile

Here's Hubby (before he was Hubby) at the mission home in Santiago, Chile, celebrating an "elderly" Christmas. What a cutie.

Melanie, ca. 1990

Rockin the Mullet!!!

It was 1990 and life was business in front, party in the back, man.  And there were puppies.


At our house in Richland - Jer's puppy, Spud

Yeah baby!

In Brookings to attend BC's high school graduation. Good times. I'm wearing the sweatshirt my missionary sent me from Norway. (wink, wink)

Portland Temple

Neenaw and Gran in the Portland Temple atrium.

Dad, Ernie, Jeremy, Uncle John and I had a nice day with them in the temple, performing temple work for our ancestors. 

The 80s

No dates on these; we'll just guess.

This was probably the year I started high school, because I missed out on the "floating face making some other expression from the main picture" fad.

Here's BC...

...and Jeremy

I'm sure Ernie's and Melanie's pictures are floating around Neenaw's office somewhere, we just haven't found them yet.

Carl Byron Dysart, Jr., 1921-1987

Hooked a big one

:)

Grandpa Carl with one of his latest catches.

Mom recently told me that when he and Grandma lived in northern Washington during World War II, they lived next to the water and threw all their vegetable scraps, etc. out the window for the fish. That was the first I'd heard of their ever not living in Walla Walla.

Miss you, Grandpa. Can't wait to see you again.

Happy Birthday, Gran and Neenaw :)

Mom, Ernie, Neenaw, BC, Mel, Gran

We had a birthday party for Neenaw and Gran at Van Giesen our house in Richland. Something happened to the cake that Mom had to "fix" and it ended up looking interesting.
