Brady Turns 4!!!!

We can't believe you are 4 already big guy! We hope you had a super fun 4th birthday (he had preschool in morning, a friend over to play in the afternoon and we went to the mall of america to ride rides in the evening!)

Watch out world- I will be driving before you know it!!!!

Happy 1st Birthday Little Will!!!

Happy Birthday to Will~

I am so proud to share such a special day with such a sweet boy

~ Love, Mom :-)

Happy Spring from the Brookins Clan!!!

You never know who you might run into the day before Easter
at the Walmart in Detroit Lakes, MN!!
We were lucky this year as both the kids loved it! Brady was so proud of himself!

Brady on Easter! Practicing for Uncle Craig's wedding in June!

Will is ready for spring!

He even has his fishing hat for the summer picked out!

(it kind of matches Grandpa Chuck's but not quite as faded!)

Too bad this child doesn't have any toys to play with- a plastic cup?!?!

Happy New Year- January 2009!!

GUESS WHO TURNED 5 MONTHS TODAY?!
Big smiles for our little Will:)

CHECK THIS OUT MOM AND DAD I AM READY TO SIT!

Will continues to surprise us everyday with

all the things he wants (and can) do!!

OPEN UP AND SAY AAAAH!!!!

Will has two front teeth coming in on the top and we

think we see a bump in the front on the bottom too-OUCH!!!

Both boys love pictures- especially self-portraits:)

Big brother Brady helping out yesterday-

he "babysat" Will while I got the bath ready!

(across the hall:)

What a wonderful helper he is!!! (and so proud!)

Brady showing us how he really feels about going out in the cold weather!!!

(I think we all feel that way!!) I wish someone would carry me

through the snow so I could wear Mickey slippers!

It has been below 0 here almost every day this week! UGH!

Happy January!!!

Stay warm and see you next month!!!
