old pictures

it's the third time i've posted today, but i just came across a bunch of old pictures. most of them are in the "not-so-flattering" category, and others are in the "photoshop-ped" category.

and so we begin.



family portrait in the woods. my sister was never fully capable of reciting the alphabet, all the way through.



the mouse that lived for one day in our backyard before dying of heat stroke.



and this was as close as i got to ever learning how to swim.



the Albertson's Santa Claus gave away the best gifts.



World Changers choir tour summer . . . 2000? i think i was roughly 15-17 years old.



peach picking with melissa. yes, i was wearing my mother's winnie-the-pooh shirt. i thought it was cool.



laura michelle and janelle dawn.



i come from a sepia-tone family.



my mother and mybabyself.



4th birthday party.



the three little burris kids in laguna niguel, where my mom sold her artwork.



me and grandpa at some patriotic event.



camping with my scary father.



and lastly, my long hair. i miss it.


that's all for now. good night.
