Our Snow Days

These are pics from the 1st time it snowed.

(Still can't believe it's snowed this much in Texas.)

It was so pretty and the boys had a blast.

Other than the fact that since we don't have the usual

snow attire and their feet would get really cold

in just regular mud boots, they had a lot of fun.

Wish I would have had this one for our Christmas card, love them all bundled up!

Keller making his first ever snow angel.
The other boys weren't too sure about laying down in it since it was soooo cold.

My cutie Tanner Lane...

And sweet Garrett Ray...

He had about 4 layers of clothes on

I went out and took pics before the boys came outside because i knew once they played in it,

it would no longer look peaceful.
Showing how deep the snow is in my stylish mud boots.

all the boys toys covered in snow

Our front yard and driveway before anyone had disturbed the snow.

One of my favs from snow day because I love how the trees look with snow on them.

more front yard

showing the ice and snow on the roof

front of our house...love the way it looks so clean and quiet (but not for long)

Aaron and the boys soon came out to play and build a snowman. But I'm not posting pics of it for a reason, remember I live with 4 boys and they insisted on putting "extra" body parts on the snowman....after all it's called a snow"man", right??

Skateland USA

The boys were invited to a b-day party a few weeks ago @ Skateland USA. This place has been in j'ville forever, and everything looks exactly the same from when I was a little girl and would go there. Seriously, those skates are from at least the 70's!!

Keller's been to several parties there and is quite the skater, but Garrett and Tanner have never skated before and are a very different story!

just thought this is too cute to pass up

Keller showing off some cool moves


Tanner waiting for some cookie cake

Me helping Tanner get used to walking in skates;

and yes walking because his wheels were tightened.

now he's got it!!

break time for some brotherly love!! (My personal favorite!)

ok, now this was the good stuff, garrett and his best buddy tarrant.....

looks like they know what they are doing from this pic, but don't be fooled!!

Garrett thinks he's got it all under control
but oops!!

and here they are dancing, on their feet, until...
CRASH!....again

they repeated this move over and over and OVER! (for approx. 30 minutes!)

until they decided ENOUGH with the skating...

lets go play games

sharing a seat...so sweet.

i can only hope these moments happen more often

so after a LONG 30 minutes of "skating" and games,

these boys wanted you to see how tough they really are

don't you wish you could be this cool?
haha.....

Jason Aldean Concert

So me and the girls from work went to the Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan concert last

Saturday night....all I can say is that they are AWESOME! We went and ate Mexican food first...and had some yummy drinks....

Tiffany, Rosa,me, and Bea

me & Bea enjoying our night out
Me, Rosa, & her hubby, David
(no Aaron didn't go, he stayed home with the boys)


Tiffany having a good time

So I don't have the best camera, so any time they moved,

it was just blurry. But I still had to take some pics.

Luke B again

and finally..... Jason Aldean!!! If you don't know who he is, he sings "Big Green Tractor"
My boys know this song by heart & were totally jealous that I went.

This is a video I took from my camera,

really LOUD and not the best quality, but I had to video this for my boys!!

Sleepy Boy!

Yesterday while I was on the computer, Tanner was playing with

all his new toys, and I looked over to see this......

Setting in his Spiderman chair guarding one of his new toys. And yes, I left him there for about 30 minutes; until we had to go pick up the other boys. Precious moment!!

Christmas 2009

Ok so I did a HORRIBLE job of taking pics this Christmas!! The only place I actually took pics was at the Brooks Family Christmas, on Christmas Eve. Tanner was very into when we were gonna open presents, the older boys know the rules and that you have to wait till everyone has eaten and then we go in order from youngest to oldest! But it is so much fun! I actually like it that way instead of everyone opening at the same time, since i have 3 kids I'm trying to watch and make sure I know what is theirs and what isn't, and who it came from!

so Tanner decided to not only wear the Santa hat, but he put on the stockings as well.

this is Keller, Christmas of '03, at his point he was still the only grandchild, and yes most of those presents were HIS! just thought it was too cute to pass up!

and this is Keller Christmas of '09! Makes me so sad.
What happened to my little boy under the tree?


Garrett and his "Best Buddy" Landon

all 5 Brooks Boys

Tanner, Connor, Keller, Garrett, & Landon

Hope You all had a WONDERUL Christmas!!

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!!
