Blaze Beard

Had to post this really cool pic of my nephew Blaze Beard...coming in March! I actually did this 3D pic of him; isn't he PRECIOUS! Trust me not all 3D's come out looking this good, so I had to brag on Blaze for cooperating with his favorite Aunt! Can't wait to kiss those sweet cheeks.

Family Pics

Just wanted to post some recent pics of our family! It is a RARE occassion that all 5 of us are in a pic together. Should have used it as our Christmas card, but I had already sent those out before Mary took this one for me.

Then my cousin Lindsay took these of the boys for me with her super huge mega cool camera! No joke I'll bet her camera and lense weighs 15 lbs!! But it takes awesome pics!!

So Thanks Linds!

Definately gonna get these hung, I have ther perfect spot in my dining room!

Hope all are having a wonderful holiday season!!

Thanksginving 2009

This year we went to Jasper for Thanksgiving. It was so good to get to see everyone. The whole family was there, except my hubs. He had to work that afternoon, but not to worry, he went hunting that morning and then went to his grandma's for Thanksgiving with his side of the family. We did miss him, but had a great time getting all the cousins together...it had definately been a while.

The Beard cousins

Mason, Matt, Lydia, Mary, Laci, Mandy, & Lindsay

this is the "traditional" pic that we do EVERY time we all can get together..i think it's been like 6 years since the last one, but we always stand in the same place everytime! too bad i don't have some from past years to show!

The Big Orange Tractor

One of my new favorite pics! Big Daddy with all 7 grandkids! And trust me, they LOVE taking a ride on the tractor...especially Tanner. If Big Daddy gets on...so does Tanner! Too bad Bailey's eyes are closed, but i still think it's a great pic! And it looks like Weston is picking his nose, but I think it's just in his mouth; but don't put it past him!!

Happy 8th Bday KELLER

So this past friday, November 13th, was my little Keller man's Birthday!! Can't believe that he is 8!!! WOW, where did the past 8 years go....holy cow! It's been an incredible 8 years and i can't wait to see what the next 8 years have in store for us....except that by then he will be DRIVING....( this is where i shed a tear and SCREAM!!)

So when it's your bday, if we get out the door in time, you get the donut of your choice. And he picked his favorite...chocaloate with sprinkles (just like his mom!)

And you get chocolate milk too...i'm sure his teacher was very appreciative that i pumped him full of sugar before sending him to school!!

And because you have a very cool mom...she brings Batman cupcakes for your class to enjoy

( sorry they were out of hulk like you had requested)

this is Keller with his "girlfriend" Lindsey

He informed me one day that they "go out".. I said, "oh really, and where do you go?"


Enjoying the batmat cupcake to the fullest...

you must get all the icing off the ring before you wear it
Keller and his buddies in 2nd grade

First Day Of School....Aug 24, 2009

Ok so I'm EXTREMELY far behind on posting this, but oh well! Here goes the first day of school for the Brooks boys...Keller 2nd grade, Garrett Pre-k, and Tanner preschool 3. Garrett look a little nervous, Keller says "here we go again!", and Tanner thinks "what's the big deal?"


Now Garrett shows me a smile

Keller ready with his new back pack

Garrett says he's "too cool for school!"

all Tanner cares about is what is in his super cool Cars lunch kit!

Garrett is big stuff walking down those Pre-k halls

sitting happily at his desk & ready to soak it all in

Gotta show off his back pack too. It says "Shotgun", which is his nickname.

Keller is all smiles at his new school

He's super excited that he gets his very own desk in 2nd grade; no more sharing a big table.

I took bailey to school on the first day as well; so here she is in front of her new class.

Keller & Bailey startthe new journey at Rusk Elementary

Oh! and one more of Tanner man!

Ok boys, what did you think of the first day of school?
