thanks for the sweet comments! yes, i remember all of those things, i must be a 90's kid. those were the good old days. good thing i have purchased the old disney cartoons (not digital) and the old looney toons on amazon. how i wish i could be in hawaii right now. my son is driving me crazy, he pulls himself up everywhere, so putting him down for a nap is the most exhausting task!!! he goes back and forth from being hard to easy to hard with every month that goes by and he reaches different milestones. but he is cute. have so much fun enjoying the beach, i have the heat on in my house as we speak.

Even I remember some of that atuff! Even though I was only 9 when the 90s ended. Except some stuff had nothing to do with being a 90s kid, its what any kid wants, not matter when they grew up. Such as wanting to have McDonalds for dinner every night.

Oh please, like you are even old enough to remember the 90's! :0) just teasing...
You look fantastic! I can't wait for you to Graduate, but I am sad I'll never see you again unless you come visit before we move (that is unless you want to visit Pittsburgh)!

Holy cow, that's a long list, but it does bring back memories. I miss Saved by the Bell. The embarassing part about that is that in comparrison, the acting on Saved by the Bell was just as attrocious as the acting on Hannah Montana. It takes me back to 5th grade!
