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!

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!

A night on the plaza

Mommy & Brooke went to the plaza one, cold Sunday evening with Aunt Rosa. We had dinner at Buca's and then walked around looking at the lights and drinking some Starbucks. It was a lot of fun and Brooke did really well during our 2 hour long dinner!



HA! Look how Aunt Rosa made Brooke be closer to the big dog than her...Rosa hates big dogs...like Brooke was going to protect her or something!

Shopping at Gap!!!

Hanging out with Mommy in the SNOW!!!

A bit behind

So, my mom informed me I'm behind on my postings...so hold your britches...I'm catching up today.
These are from Brooke's first birthday. She got a cool bounce - n - spin zebra from Nana & Pops and a Nativity set from Aunt Rosa.


Eating the yummy cupcake with Aunt Rosa...she LOVED it!!!


It was an unseasonably warm day on her birthday so we took her to the park for a little while.
