throwback thursday

For today's throwback, I found this old photo of me snuggling with two of my adorable nephews.  I'm not sure what year this was taken, but it must be pretty old because Joseph, the little guy in the white t-shirt and the pouty lips, is now almost 12, and Jakob, the one in the blue pants, is 16!!  That's right folks, driving age.  Judging by the fact that Jakob is playing with my flip phone, yep, flip phone, I'm guessing I was probably 21.  Dang, I'm old.


They say kids grow up too fast, and they (whoever "they" may be) are totally correct.  Just look at how fast these boys sprouted up!  Here's a current photo of Joseph on the left, flashing his muscles, and Jakob on the right, having fun in Hawaii.


I can barely remember the days when these two were the only grandkids in the family.  Since the time of the first picture, that number has quadrupled, and that's not even an exaggeration.  Although my wallet feels a little more empty with each passing Christmas and birthday, my life is filled with so much love thanks to the offspring of my siblings.  So, thanks for procreating, bro & sis!  Cheers to you!

Happy Thursday!

  2. It blows my mind how quickly we grow up! I was looking at my cousins (who are now almost 12!) the other day and kept seeing them as small 5 year olds.

    1. I don't really look that young, my secret is just that I'm immature so it fools people. ;)

    1. Yay instagram! :) They do grow up so fast! Too bad all of my old photos are at my parent's house, I should go borrow a bunch of them and scan them. Except that I don't have a scanner. Thanks for the comment!!
