I just cant stop myself!!!

Avery wanted to know who all these kids were sitting with Grammy, Poppy, Heidi, and Scott. This was Thanksgiving 1997. NaNa and PopPop when they only had 3 grand kids!

There are just no words for this one!

But wait...there's more....

When we were going through old pics, Chris looked at this pic and said to me, "Which one of our kids did they put this sign up for?" HELLO---WE ONLY HAVE 1 SON!!!!!!

This is what Gram, Kelly, Jill, Casey, and David looked like in 1993.

CJ and Chelsey at his 1st Communion. He'sa gonna maka you an offa youa can't refuse.

Halloween 1997

"Our mommy buys our costumes at Nerdy Kids R Us."

Circa 1997....CJ age 4

Memo to self: Never leave CJ alone with the christmas tree.

AAHHH the good ol' days!

Last weekend we went down the basement to clean and organize it so the kids actually want to go there to play and watch tv. While we were down there we came across a big Rubbermaid container full of our old pictures. So, we all sat down and started looking through old photos. The most interesting part of looking at these old pics were the comments that came from our own children. Hope you enjoy...and be careful......you may end up in one of my pics!!!!!!!!!



I believe Tara bought this sweater for Madi when she was 5. When Madi found this pic she said, "Hey mom, do we still have that sweater? Maybe Avery or Kami could wear it to next years UGLY SWEATER PARTY." Sorry Tara.


The next few pics all got giggles from our girls. They made fun of Chris and I for dressing like our kids.

Not fair, this was at a family reunion.....1996.
CJ and I at the mountain's....1994

Easter, 1996

Christmas 1996, Love the suspenders boys!!!!!!

New Year, New Look

On Saturday morning Kylie, Madi and I all got hair cuts, ready to start the new year with new looks. Here is the before pic of the girls. Here are the girls after. The hair salon told us about Pantene, they take 8 inch pony tails, so they gave Madi her ponytail for us to donate.

Yes, I also got my hair cut, but sorry, no pic. It's Madi's length with bangs.

Happy New Year!

Well, farewell 2008. It was definitely a tough year for the Hartman's. But as I look ahead, I have to wonder if 2009 will be any easier. Tom and Dad are missed so much.

But even in our sadness, there are still joyous things to look forward to in 2009....a wedding, 2 new babies, maybe an engagement???????, graduations.

My New Year's wish for my family is for all to find peace within.
