The Real Housewives of Orange County are taking a walk—or better yet whoop—down memory lane.
To celebrate the Bravo reality series’ milestone 20th season, the cast is reflecting on their most iconic and meme-worthy moments throughout the past two decades.
For the O.G. of the O.C. Vicki Gunvalson, who has appeared on 17 seasons since helping launch the franchise in 2006, family milestones will always be her fondest memories from filming.
“Watching my kids be raised,” Vicki—mom to son Michael Wolfsmith, 41, and daughter Briana Culberson, 39, from her first marriage to Michael Wolfsmith Sr.—exclusively told E! News of her favorite moments. “My daughter’s a parent, a mother now and just the journey of life. People don’t get to document it the way we do, so it’s been great.”
Specifically, Vicki relishes the memory when Brianna and husband Ryan Culberson officially made Vicki a grandma in 2012 with the birth of their first child.
“When Briana brought Troy home,” the 64-year-old added, “that’s a remarkable time. Ryan was in Afghanistan serving our country and it was her and I and Troy. It was awesome.”
