The all-new Bass Pro

The Independence Bass Pro opened Wednesday night and we took Brooke this afternoon. We have a trophy deer hanging in our living room and Brooke knows exactly what it is. Needless to say, this made Brooke LOVE all the stuffed mounts at Bass Pro. She did nothing but point at all the dead things...this side of her must be from the Tucker's. :-)
If you're in town and want to see the new Bass Pro - call us - we'll take you!
This cool chair was in the foyer!

Brooke and her daddy looking out the floor to ceiling windows at the cool lake!

Sitting on a cool bench on the 2nd story.

So this was the look on her face practically the entire time - she loved the dead stuff! :-) Pops, she is standing in front of the #1 Bass Pro stock car that is at the store right now.

This car sits in front of the full-size restaurant at the back of the store. There was a huge salt-water fish tank in the restaurant.

Update

So, once again, I haven't posted in a while. Brooke LOVES our cat, Molly...the cat only loves Brooke sometimes!


This is Brooke's normal face in the car seat...notice she's wriggled one arm out of the strap.


But, being my daughter, she's all smiles when the camera comes out! :-)

Update

Been a little while since we posted and today it's Nana's birthday...don't ask how many...so we thought today would be a good day to update.

The first haircut was interesting. She did great at first but ended up screaming her head off and clinging to Mommy.


Ahhhh! She loves her Daddy!

It was nice outside this past weekend...so we took the new trike outside and she loved riding it on the driveway!

Valentine Pics

Here are some shots in Brooke's Valentines outfit with Mommy's anniversary roses. Good timing, huh!?!?!? :-)

Visit from Nana & Pops

A few weeks back Nana & Pops came for the weekend to help organize and move all our stuff from our basement to the attic. Here are some snapshots from the weekend.

One of the last bottles Brooke got!

The boys working on the attic access.

Brooke snuggling with the other man in her life!

Even the dog came along!

Mommy & Daddy's Anniversary

So I know this site is suppose to be for Brooke, but this past weekend we went to Jeff City and dropped Brooke off with her Nana & Pops and headed to a B&B for our anniversary. It was a huge house overlooking the Osage River and was a gorgeous place to stay.
The house & barn were both over 100 years old, but had been very nicely restored.
Here are some cool shots from the weekend.

It's hard to believe we've been married 4 years. but it's been so much fun. Living your life with your best friend is unbelievable!!!

Christmas 2007

Everyone told us that Christmas is more fun when a kid is involved...it's totally true!!!! We had so much fun this Christmas season with Brooke. She knew what presents are from her recent birthday and attacked with a vengeance on Christmas morning. She is a little spoiled but we all enjoyed watching her open her presents.

Elmo was in Brooke's stocking!!!

Aunt Rosa and Brooke both got cool, pink Nike water bottles in their stockings...can you see the excitement?

Christmas morning presents!!!!

Brooke loves her new tent with balls in it!!! She loves to run in and out of it.

Santa (aka Darrell Brammer) even stopped in for a visit on Christmas morning. Brooke wasn't too excited about him though. She had the death grip on her daddy during the whole visit!
