Thanksgiving Day 2008!

Baby's First Haircut!

Before---

During---

And after---

Who doesn't love the tv clicker?

Fun with the remote!

Looking guilty!

Very naughty!

Our Little Drummer Boy!

Like Father, like Son! He loves the drums as much as Daddy does!

It's Autumn Time, It's Autumn Time!

They sure had fun playing in the leaves, but we didn't get much raked up!

Pumpkin Carving!

The finished product.........Great job guys!

Happy Halloween!

BE was a "mummy" for "trunk or treat" at the church, but 2 days later his mummy costume was too small........so he was a baseball player on Halloween!!

Anakin & Padme Amadala

This is what its ALL about! When we were little, we used to "trade" our candy, these two prefer to combine their treats!

Bad 2 The Bone!

BB became Ammon's biking buddy and is practicing safe riding!

Scooter Queen!

You can take the girl out of ballet, but you can't take the ballerina out of the girl! You've heard of water ballet? This is called scooter ballet! BS was VERY serious about doing this demo for the blog! Isn't she graceful?

Scooter Ride!

At the end of his ride, BE asks for a "la-la" (nana), but what he really wanted was some of mommy's raisins!

A Great Time at the State Fair!

The dare devils of our family! Mom is glad she didn't have to go!

More Fun at the Fair!

Ammon wasn't feeling well, so we only stayed a few hours. It gave the kids a chance to go on the rides and have a treat!

Benjamin Loves to Color!

Whenever the kids begin homework or writing in a notebook, Benjamin says "E, E, --O"! It means he wants to color! We have to get him his own paper and crayon, so that he can draw! We still don't know why he calls it "E, E, --O".........silly baby!

Outstanding Speaking Ability

I have tried and tried to get him to say "ma-ma", with no success. He continues to say "da-da" and this past week said "na-na".......or in his words he points to the banana and says "la-la"!!

Playtime in Mommy's living room

The kids had a great time playing in this HUGE box Ammon brought home. they dragged out all over the house, until I couldn't stand it and then it was taken to the dump. It was fun while it lasted.........for them!!!
These two characters are supposed to be a cowgirl and cowboy.....I think! So glad they enjoying playing together most of the time...........aren't they sweet?

Once In a Lifetime Win....for me!

Okay, normally I would NEVER post this hideous photo of myself, but on this night, a miracle took place that I had to share!!! We all enjoy playing Settlers of Cataan and Canaan. I never expect to win, but usually have a good attitude anyway. I dont know how, or why, but on this rare occassion, I WON! Ammon, Josh and I are still amazed, so I had to record it for posterity!

Missing you from Myrtle Beach!

Josh took these family pictures for us! Beautiful Sunset!

Fun at the Beach!

Little Benjamin enjoys 1st time at the beach!
Baylee likes her new body board!
Brandon loves the ocean!

Alligator Adventure!

They feed the gators raw chicken throughout the day!

Yes, these are real!

This is the famous Alligator farm in Myrtle Beach! Remember the Bingham trip here--6 yrs ago?

Lazy river at the condo!

Ammon's New Building!

We took Josh and Jess to see Ammon's new building . This will be the new Brock Cabinets in North Raleigh!
Dinner at Olive Garden!

Let's hear it for guns & ammo!

We're glad Jess and Josh were here to help Ammon and Brandon protect us from the big bad wolf!

Jess & Josh Visit!

We were thrilled to have Jess and Josh visit during the summer, as they have only been here during the winter. Jess had to leave us early for an interview (thus the lack of photos), but he made us these delicious cookies that are so yummy--Pistachio lime macaroons!

The Nectarine Nazi!

Ammon set Benjamin on the counter for just a second and Benjamin grabbed a nectarine from the fruit bowl and started chowing down! I usually peel and cut them up for him, but he decided to dig right into it! You can see he is not happy about sharing his delicous fruit!

Rub a Dub Dub.......

Three Brocks in the tub! We were on our way out the door to go swimming when it started raining. The kids improvised and made their own fun!
Here is the big boy walking around!
Nothing like headin' off to school on a HOT July morning!

Baylee 1, Baylee 2, and Baylee 3!

Baylee found ANOTHER doll that looks exactly like her and bought it with her birthday money! She is very clever and creative and named the dolls: Baylee 1, Baylee 2 and Baylee 3! We went to the attic and found her old baby clothes for the new twins!
