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

Boys will be boys....

This is a regular event at the Brooks house.... wrestling! Oh how I love when they get all rowdy and act tough; practically think they are in the UFC! Trust me, they can get LOUD!!

and they do know how to put a choke hold on their daddy!

But he always get them back! haha
