Fun fun! Those bouncy balls were one of my favs too. Mine had a Donald Duck head. I couldn't find a picture or I'd have it on my post! I definitely see Suri Cruise in that photo. The stove - that is one of my favs as well!
Karla
Jessi,
You were such a cutie and still are! Happy memories. Love all your toys and the updo takes me back looks just like my mom's.
You are right Puddles is the best toy of all.
Have fun in L.A. I am soooo jealous of all of you lucky girls.
Thank you for the being a great hostess.

Too Cute!!! You do look like Suri Cruz- thanks for hosting a fun party- I'm off to visit see more toys- can't wait to hear about your Art Retreat!
This was such a fun blog party...your photos are so adorable. You looked like a very happy little girl and had lots of cool toys. Love the pic with you by the stove. Oh, yes...I loved the red ball too. It was called a Hippity Hop. I bounced on that thing many a day. Have a great weekend, cutie-pie.

Hi Jessi
Thanks for getting me in there. My toy is on my blog. Have fun in LA.
Pam
This party is such a blast! I forgot about the Hippoty Hop..I had one, too and it was red! I fell backwards on it one time and banged my head (maybe that is what's wrong with me, har har)!
Yes, you do look like Suri..cute!
Have a fabulous day!
~Julie~
You were every bit as cute then as you are now!
I joined in and am showing some things from way, way back in the olden times during my youth. thanks for the fun topic, it got me thinking today.
Fun! I loved pulling my favorite toy out of the back of the closet: My Barbie!
*Heidi*
So very, very fun! I love how you enjoyed your toys then and you enjoy them now!
Well you are adorable, Jessi. I love all your toys and your mother's hair! It's like looking in the mirror! My two sons are about your age and I'm so jealous I never got to buy those cute girl toys. We had Rockem Sockem robots
Evil Kneivel wrestling guys.
I totally forgot today was your party so I quickly got my post up. It's a sad, sad story. If you stop by check out my anniversary post - you'll probably find your mom's hair! Thanks, Jessi - Nancy
HI Jessi!! What wonderful photos & memories! I love the pic of you with that terrific kitchen stove & on the teeter totter best! You have always had a great smile. Your mother is so beautiful, too!
I saw where you've already visited me!!! But did you see the extra post I did just for you on Barbies?!?
Thanks so much for hosting this fun party! I'll be on the 'puter all day!!

You were such a cutie pie...oh wait, you still are!
hehehehe THANKS for hosting "TOY DAY"!!! It was super fun! :)
Great Post Jessi! A riot to see all of the blasts from the past on the different blogs! ann
I had a Dressy Bessy, but I sure didn't remember her name. I loved to swim too. Love all the vintage photographs of you. Wished I had more of me. They are few & far between. Have fun in Cali! And I can't wait to get the ATC's you wonder woman you!!!
Jessi,
Thanks for this walk down memory lane. It was a blast. I saw toys on other blogs that I'd even forgotten I had! After all that complaining about Malibu Ken!
You look like a happy child and I do think you are right, nothing has changed - you would be a fab spokesmodel on The Price Is Right!
Have a great trip, little fish!
My daughter had a stove like that when she was small. I relly enjoyed this. It was so much fun. Thanks for doing this. Am going to try and visit everyone tonight. It is so nice here today....Have fun!!!...Mary
oh my gosh!!! you are SO cute in all of these pics:) i think that giant ball was called a "hippity hop" {?} my sister had one too, same color!!!
ps: have lots of fun at your shindig!!!
What a great post! I love the stove. I would have been playing at your house everyday if I was your friend growing up. I didn't get in on the event, but I decided to post a few pictures of my favourite toys on my blog. Have a look.
great pictures Jessi! Puddles looks so cute!
Alisa
Thanks for inviting me to your fab party Jessi!! I love love your "groovy" pics!! This is so much fun! :)mendy
What a cute kid you were! You've barely changed, with that big happy smile and pretty face!
THanks for hosting Miss Jessi, I have finally got a post up and running, sorry I was late!
Jessi - This has been the most fun! ....and you do look like little Suri Cruise! Adorable!
I hope you have a fabulous time in L.A.....I live about 30 miles east of there if you want to come and visit me.....:)
You have such a fun and lively personality! Thank you for hosting this memorable walk down childhood lane!
Julie Bergmann
Hi Jessi...LOVE your cute photos! what a wonderful collection of photos you have from your childhood. LOVE That cute stove!! lol
I posted a few of my photos and a list of my fav toys...couldn't find many photos with toys. :)))
This was fun to dig out those old photo albums! xoxo Heather
Clearly we are nearly the same age as we had many of the same toys and looked almost identical in 1970!
I had Dressy Bessy, and that stove brought back a million memories. Oh, and that jumpy ball thing with the handle too! Ok, now, did you happen to have a giant plastic ball that could could actually get inside and roll down a hill or spin around in? So not safe, but one of our favorite toys ever. I have rarely seen anyone else with one of them though.
Happy day, thanks for sharing the fun!
Melissa
Oh My GOSH! I came over to get the link because I was going to post my toys....and I see you have a doll named Georgette! My number one most favorite doll in the world is "Georgina" and she has red hair like the one in your picture! could it be the same doll???? Come over and take a look!
Hey Jessi,
you truly walked me though memory lane in "your world"...so fun!! I can't believe you have all those neat photo's and with all your favorite Childhood TOYS! WOW, I don't think I could find one picture with me little with a TOY I had:-((

Hi Jessi! What a great posting to meet you on. Thanks for adding me as a FlickR friend, I added you as well and just had to find you blog after seeing your photos. Here you are and a great introduction to your childhood sets the stage for me. Loved Dressy Bessy & Dapper Dan. I also had some of my favorite memories at the pool. MMMmmm, can still smell that chlorine smell in my hair. Such sweet photos but not nearly as sweet as the memories attached to them. Wonderful to meet you and do hope to see you around more often.
miles of smiles,
Darly
What fun that was! You were cute even way back then! I didn't join the toy memories...but I did a little childhood nostalgia myself this week. When you get back you'll have to check my blog. Hope you have a great time in LA!
Sorry I missed such a fun event. What fun to have so many pictures from childhood, and all so adorable! Happy May!
