Happy Birthday Brookie Cookie!!!

I've said it before, and I know I will say it again -- when it comes to sisters, I lucked out. I got the best ones ever!! They are both so sweet and good and I love them so much!! How excited am I that today one if them had a birthday!!! And to make things even better, my computer and scanner are working great, so it's back to the regular birthday blog entry, with pictures galore!!!

Sorry Brooke. I post because I love. Yeah, that's it... :P

Someone is having a birthday? No, you don't say!!!


Here she is, little Baby Brooke... Only 2 days old.


Brooke's first Christmas...


Already a fancy dresser...


Super Cute!!!


Simply Go'geous Dah'ling... And now we know where Ellee gets her style. ;)


A little Pinecone Princess. I tried to redo this shot once with Jillen and it didn't even come close to working out. Brooke just has the skills with nature...



Now for some shots of me and Brooke together... Sweet, I know. :)

Me and Brooke in 1982


Again in 1982


1982 was a good year... :D


Us with Jayden in 2001

Us at Brooke's Wedding in 2004

Now I think I will do something a little different. I am going to highlight the many different sides of Brooke. Some of you may not realize how many talents she has. She is amazing, that's for sure!! (I won't put dates on most of these because, well, I don't know a lot of them. I would be just guessing.)

We'll start off with an easy one --

Mother and Wife Brooke

Brooke with Elliott and Ellee & Emelyn - Jan. 09


And here we go... (Remember, I post because I love. Just keep repeating that to yourself Brooke. :P )

Crazy Hair Brooke

Driver Brooke (featuring Brianna and Brett)

Skiing Brooke

Horsey Brooke (featuring Jillen and Jayden)

Cleaner Brooke (featuring Brett)

Slightly Worried About The Fashion Sense of her Older Brother Brooke (featuring Beau)

Sleeping Brooke (featuring Brianna and Belle, the dog)

Baking Brooke (featuring Brett) I just have to add, the fact that Brooke baked awesome chocolate chip cookies is one of the reasons Tim decided to marry me. He claims it's not, but I know the truth. He was devastated when Brooke went away to college and then onto a mission because he knew he wouldn't be getting any more cookies from her. :D
