HAPPY THANKSGIVING 

from The Brooks'

Here are just a few of our stats:

Number of days with the family- 5

Number of people- 31

Number of garbage bags filled- 25

Number of homemade pies- 18

Number of pounds of butter used in cooking- 8

Being together with family over the holidays- PRICELESS!!!!

Regan's family only see's each other once a year.  There's alot of people and it's alot of work from everyone, but it is all worth it.  I am so thankful for being part of this great family.     

Bloody Ute fans...

They sneak through the night like pirates.  They spread their wickedness everywhere they go.  OJ barely got out alive.  

They try to brain-wash the young.  Not only their young, but the young innocent minds of children raised in a home that values a school with high moral standards.  

And the lies, ohh the lies...  Even my 6 yr. old can spot a lie.  "Mom, they said Utah is #1 but really they are #12."  

(don't worry, Regan corrected him and told him because they have been so lucky, they are #7 now.)

We know who you are and where you sleep.  But because of who we are and who we support, revenge is not in our vocabulary.  Instead I think we will go pray for you.  May god have mercy on your souls...

Yeah right, you better put the dogs inside tonight if you don't want them to be blue...

New Cabinets!!!

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to COPPER CANYON DESIGN..."can I get a  woo-woo?"

We've been in our house for a little over a year and it's finally starting to "not" look like a new house with bare walls, and no decorations.  Our friend and neighbor is starting up his own cabinet company, and can I just tell you how pleased I am with his work, it is amazing.  Sorry my pics aren't that great...and decorations are still coming! 

If any of you are even thinking about doing any wood work in your home, he's your man!!!

For a good before picture you can go to my May post "not funny" 

The Freaks come out at night!

So we were invited to a Halloween party this past weekend, and were supposed to dress up as villians.  How'd we do?  

Our kids were going non-stop today, and it finally caught up with them.  This is what we came home to.  (I promise we do have beds for them).  

 

 

If this doesn't give the child nightmares I don't know what would.

PHOTO TAG

Well I thought I was done doing tags for a little bit.  But in attempt to show my little sister that I still do love her, I thought I would concede.  And plus it's kinda fun to see.  

So here it is Holly...my fourth picture from my fourth folder on my computer.  :)  

I have my folders set up by the years starting in 2002... I guess we as a family didn't exist before then.  

So this picture was taken February of 2005 while on our cruise to the Western Caribbean.  We went with some of Regan's siblings and friends.  We had a blast.  

Can you find us?  Hint...I am wearing a hat.  

What, Snow ??

We are so not ready for winter yet.  Tyson was not happy with me this morning when I made him wear his coat from last year.  Not that I blame him, that thing could not be comfortable.  

 

I guess I need to come to terms that as much as I would like him to stay small, he's not going to. It's physically impossible.

And for all of you family and friends who haven't seen snow yet this year, and probably won't unless you come visit, please just keep all your comments to yourself!  

Stupid Cat

Now I know some of you may look at our family and think to yourself, "Wow their clothes always look so nice and clean, and smell so fresh."  "I wonder what her laundry secrets are?"   Well today is your lucky day.  It's really quite simple....

So this morning I went down to get something out of the dryer, and surprise my cat has found a new bed.  He looked up at me with this look of  "What the hell do you want?"  Yes,  I have lost all control.

Come to think of it...I think my mother-in-law once killed a cat this way.  Hmmmm... I've got to go do some laundry!
