Memory Lane...the tag that gets everyone involved
I got this from my friend, Melinda's, blog. I hope you will play along. Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you leave a memory about me, I'll assume you're playing the game and I'll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Remember when you came over to Natalie's house and we three watched a Ballywood movie? We were chatting and laughing... It was such a fun girls night!
Around that same time was birthday get-together right before everyone started moving away from Houston. Remember Mindy brought her straightener to teach us all how to curl our hair? Yours looked the best. That was a fun night too!
Miss you!
i have this ready to go on my blog, too, once i get done with vacation photos. :)
well, i remember when we were in the married BYU ward with you way back when, and then remembering each other in the hallway at church in Houston! and lots of fun memories with audrey and kylejordan, as she called them. :)
I am sooooo confused.
:)
I remember the first time we met thinking how much fun you were--you seemed like such a cool mom--always lots of fun things that you do with your boys. I love talking with you and you inspire me to be a better mom.
And that's my first memory of you, John, - Bradley's birthday campout and you were trying to set up your tent and you were sooooooo confused. I thought, "somebody should help that poor man. He doesn't know how to set up that two man tent."
The many timees you saved me when I needed a babysitter on short notice. Thank you Thank you Thank you!!!!!! I owe you one.
The first memory that comes to my mind took place in Marysville, Washington in about the year 1997. I was about 12 and you were about 17. It was a Friday or Saturday night and we were driving in the old Nissan truck to meet up with your friends to go ice-skating or some other fun outing. On the radio was "Fly" by Sugar Ray, and you turned it up loud and we sang along to it. I thought I was the coolest person alive to be hanging out with you!!! (Not the only memory I have of thinking that. :) )
I remember going to Chuck E Cheese with several families from our ward in Houston. It was pretty close to the time we were going home and it was a lot of fun to hang out with our new found friends and their kids one last time before we headed home.
I also remember going to play groups with you and your family. I remember you and your husband always bringing fun things for the kids and your husband playing with them. You guys were always out doing and having fun. What great examples your were of what I wanted to be as a parent as my kids got older!
I remember you came to my wedding reception... I THINK! (I know Jessi did. I have photos with her in them with Tyler and Jenica...) You were pretty young then. It was July 1994.
I remember when you decided to quit biting your fingernails. And then being jealous of your pretty long nails. :)
I also remember you sitting at the desk in your room doing art and thinking that you were amazingly talented.
I have lots of great memories of you. I remember before you left for Georgia we got together one last time at the go-cart place! We had a lot of fun racing around the track with our hubbies and friends! Audra is a speed demon!
Going to BYU football games together our freshman year. One night game it poured the whole time, but we stayed until the end. We were soaked. Go cougs! :)
Fun to remember back to all of those good times. You were always the stable one. :) Your family is adorable!
I remember a cute little dark-haired girl coming to me with her hand in a tight fist. She opened it and showed me her hand full of rolled-up potato bugs. "Ahhhsh!" she proudly indicated. I immediately told her to take the ahhhsh's outside. From then on, anytime we came upon any 'ahhhsh's', she would say, "Ahhsh's, ahside, ahhsh, ahside!"
I could be wrong, thin memory, but I'm almost certain that I met you once a long time ago. Perhaps you came up to BYU from high school to see Jessi (I lived across the hall from her in Heritage), you are younger than her I thought. Anyway, I don't remember much, except that you were beautiful just like your sister - like twins with different color hair - you the striking brunette and her the beautiful blond.
I remember weenie roasts and playing in the driveway at grandma and grandpa's farm. (I was more playing with some ball I found while the bigger kids played basketball) But it was fun!
What a fun post Audra... Hmmm I have too many memories of you... and I can't remember the first time I met you. You're just ingrained as always being a part of our TX lives.
Some favorite memories are being introduced to accessory shopping on H* street, remember how I totally dented the front end of my car on one of our last outings there? But we just loaded up and kept on going!
I also remember training for the half marathon, and how quickly you progressed! I remember our kiddos sitting on the sidelines cheering us along at the race. Go mama go!
Since I'm on memory lane I have to add that I have so many fun memories of your boys too. Kyle and Jordan are close to the age Preston is now when I met you and when we started up our babysitting co-op. What cute little monkeys. It was so fun to watch them grow.
We really miss all of you!
I remember going out to Kim's ranch with you. We stopped on the way to snap some shots of the kids in the blue bonnets.
good times, lady.
Hey, about that hug when you'd been lost at the zoo..... Would you please either forget about that or forgive me? That's a memory I don't like to remember, because I wasn't the best parent at the time. Sorry about that.
I remember when you were in the sixth grade, your basketball team was playing for the championship. It was a close game. You were either tied or one point behind at the very end of the game, you got the ball and at the last second, SWOOSH! Your shot won the game! That was such a fun time!!
I remember when you were nominated for homecoming queen, and we were in the restroom getting ready with all the other nominees. One of the girl's Mom said to me about you, "I know she'll win, she's so poised and beautiful." She was right.
I remember how absolutely NERVOUS you were to give your speech at graduation. You did a wonderful job, but you were wiped out after it was over!
I remember when you called to tell me about your and Mike's trip to California in January. You sat on the beach and saw the dolphins jumping out of the ocean. How romantic!
OOOOoooooooKKkkkaaayy now I see how this "game" is played. It is a little cut throat.
First of all, you do NOT have that memory. Second of all, it was quite dark when I was trying to set up that tent and you didn't even know I was there until the next morning. Third, I did quite well setting up that tent. This "poor man" did not have any trouble. I mean, I am no Mike - whipping a tent for 30 out of my back pocket and setting it up while rubbing two sticks together to start the fire - but I did just fine.
Fourthly, in my defense, I was thrust into the middle of a Mormon revival without my buffer (wife) and there were, using my most accurate estimates, 10 couples and 175 to 179 kids running around in the dark while Mike was trying to plan a snake hunt for the next day. How is a man supposed to set up a tent with all of that going on. PLUS, the Mickelsons had two tents. One was HOTEL DELUX. Sleeps 10, has four rooms with a master bed room and it was already set up during the day time (thanks mindy). Their other tent was three sticks a blanket and some string. I have seen better tents in movies depicting 1800s Kiowa Indians - feather not dot.
I can't believe you "said" that was your first memory. I am so mad. I like the one on my blog MUCH better.
your funny!
Staring at you during sacrament wondering how you got your kids to behave to well.
I have a lot of fun memories with you Audra! I always love being around you! You are an amazing person who always inspires me and makes me laugh!!
Here are a couple of fun memories...
I remember when we were really little going to your home in Oregon and playing in your basement with your guinee pig... (that's what it was.. .right?)
I loved when you came to visit Jon and I in Lehi and you were telling Mike about Tanner eating the dog food... However, he thought you said dog Poo and about killed you! hahaha!!! :) That was funny.
You are such a sweetie and I love being around you!! Love you so much!!
Shana
i remember working out in my little apartment fitness center - throwing the boys in the racketball court and trying to get a work out... ;) lots of talking, amazed by how great a mom you are!!!
I think my first memory of you was watching your kids at age 16 months climb all over the jungle gyms at a park and wonder how they could do that so young. Zach could barely go down the slide!
We have lots of fun preschool memories too.
Audra, thank you for being so kind regarding my 'hard hug.' So glad you knew it meant that you meant the world to us!
