Boy How We've Changed...

After doing my last post I got to thinking that our family has sure changed over the years. So I thought it would be fun to post pictures of how we've changed over the past 13 years. I can't believe it has been 13 years, but it has and we have the pictures to prove it.

Our engagement pictures were so fun to take, man to have that body again.
The beginning of the Eric Allen Lowe family, established May 26th 1995. I borrowed my Aunt Tanya's wedding gown and my Grandma Bowles made my veil. We look so young!

Kimberlee was 2 weeks old here so we had been married for 1 year. Gotta love those HUGE glasses.I think Kimberlee is about 1 years old here. I was probably prego but I can't remember.
So now we are a family of 4, Derick was born on April 16th 1998.
This is Derick's blessing day pictures. A good friend from our ward made him this cute little blessing outfit.
Still the 4 of us, Derick is 1 and Kimberlee is 3And then there were 5. Zachary was born December 27, 2000. This picture was taken on his blessing day in our backyard. A funny story I'll add, which I can't believe I'm adding goes like this. Take note of that skirt I'm wearing. It's hard to find anything that fits after having a baby and I didn't like to wear my maternity clothes after wearing them for 9 months. So I opted for this elastic waste skirt. The only problem was the elastic in the skirt wasn't as tight as I would have liked it. This particular Sunday I was up on the stand at church with Eric to bear our testimonies, I went first and when I was done Eric got up to take his turn. He whispered in my ear "pull up your skirt" I quickly sat down in a chair up on the stand and to my horror saw my skirt at my knees. Yes my knees. So I tried to squirm in my seat and managed to get my skirt up. I was horrified. Knowing that I had been MOONING the entire bishopric through my whole testimony and had no idea. Then I had to walk down off the stand knowing that people in the audience. Most of them my own family in the front rows of the chapel had also seen me with my skirt down. I can laugh about it now, but back then I wished I could crawl in a hole under the stand. This wins the most embarrassing moment by far!

All 5 of us
Sporting our stripes and our short summer do's (however you spell it)
I know I know, I look like a beached whale, prego with my last babe. Just for the record I felt like a beached whale too! hehe
This family picture was taken at the Robson Elementary Back to School Night. Don't we all look adorable!
I believe Olivia was 1 when we took this picture, I can't believe how fast the kids grow.

We are all dressed up for my Brother James wedding to Cicily Ford. We loved their wedding colors.Black & Tan Fam, Olivia, it really is okay to smile!
A fun Halloween indeed, at least I think so. I was mean this particular year and chose the kids costumes. They weren't very thrilled but I was. Dad as the Scarecrow, Mom as Glinda, Kimberlee as Dorothy, Derick as the Tin Man, Zachary as the Lion, and Olivia as a Munchkin. Halloween of 2007
