A Lot of Tyler, A Little Bit of Me

5 years old us

Awwww, look at us.
Both 5 years old and already in love.
I'm not sure how that happened, considering I'm 4 years older than he is...
(yeah, I snagged a young one)

I was digging through old photos because every time, EVERY time...
okay almost every time I post a picture of Sam-
someone brings up how much he looks like Tyler.

And I feel a teeny bit heartsick.
I mean, I grew the kid in my body.
Surely he has some of my DNA, right?

What do you think?

sam looks like who?

I'm all good if you think he looks like Tyler.
I agree.
After seeing the pictures- totally.
He does.
(With my eyes)
And they're both so handsome.
Edited to add:  
Tyler just read this and said he thinks Sam looks more like me! Hilarious.

While I was digging, I came across some other favorites:

tyler justin

Tyler is 4 and his big brother Justin is 6.
So adorable.
The overalls! The super fly collars.  Ha!
Look how they're holding hands.  So sweet.
Justin and his wife (just got married a few months ago)
are coming to visit us from California soon.
We're all really excited to catch up.

decked out in a flower girl dress and tiara for a wedding she and I were in.
She was completely in fantasy-princess-heaven.

Me at 6 years old.
I wish I still had that shirt...and that hair color!

The next two photos are precious to Tyler and I.
Our parents, at their weddings.

Such style!
The suits are awesome.  The lapels!  The bow-ties!
The dresses are gorgeous.
(and surprisingly similar)
The brides look like beautiful Breck girls and the grooms are oh-so-good-looking.

Although both sets of parents have divorced, moved on and/or remarried,
it's still fun to look back at the "old days".
When we were still twinkles in their innocent eyes.

Who do you look like?
I always thought I looked like my Dad but the older I get,
I look more and more like my Mom every day.

Well one consolation of the parent photos are that at least Tyler's look as happy as we do. Ha-ha!

Seriously though I was happy that day even though my dad tried to talk me out of it just before I went down the aisle.

Jackie said...

I think Sam is a perfect blend of the both of you!

Jackie-
You do. You all look happy.
Young love.

Sam is beautiful, either way- but I'm the mom...you know, of course I think that!

Dude. Your boy totally looks like you. And mine looks like me. Even though NO ONE else sees it... he does.

:)

And yeah, your boy does look like you.
