Lil Slade...

So a couple weekends ago my longtime friend Amanda Slade Coon came to visit.  She was a year younger than us and not the only Slade we hung out with so was therefore dubbed lil slade.  Here are a few gems I dug out of the ole' shoe box of shame! (you're welcome!)

oh if i could only count how many meals of Taco Bell i had during my high school years.  this is amanda (hugandkiss) and lindsey.  i remember the shirt that lindsey is wearing was a savers find and much adored by us all.

typical afternoon in our college apartment.  again little slade's in back and you can learn about the pink masked toilet paper bandit here.

one spring break we got 20 something friends together and rented a house on newport beach.  don't do drugs kids and maybe your parents will be crazy enough to let you try something like this too.  it only cost us like $40 each since we had so many people.  

I did Slade's makeup for prom and as you can see, she was working it.  again...you're welcome!

These are all the seniors from my high school that came to stay with me during their spring break while i was at school.  Oh those crazy provo nights.  don't they look like a rowdy bunch? scantly clad all tatted and pierced.  wild ones!

what were your mothers thinking leaving you under my supervision! 

however, despite my powerful influence over her delicate adolescence, amanda turned out alright.  she is  a mama now to a super cute little elizabeth.  and although I do not have him pictured here her hubby is super cool to. 

another hs chum trisha came by with her 1.5 children and so did anna with her two boys but i didn't get any photos of them. sorry anna.

look at that face!  elizabeth is cool because she is not an easy sell.  you have to be exceptional hysterical to crack a smile on that face but it is SOO worth it when you do.  this picture is just a sampling.

i like you slade.  come back anytime!
