These are just a few pic's of the County Fair, I don't know why, but I am just drawn to these things- I think there is a little bit of a farm girl inside of me- I love to walk through the animals and sit and pet the sheep- I think Larry just puts up with it and Humors me the whole time- but, I don't care. I keep telling him one of these days I want sheep and pigs and all of the fun farm animals... and well... He just Laughs at me like I am nutty!

Crook Reunion....

So imagine for a minuite with me- over 100 people in one campground.... 11 or so trailers, and many tents... two rented porta potty's... a homemade Frisbee golf course set up through the trees... wake up Saturday morning to breakfast of pancakes, eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, sausage, etc....just to prepare yourself for the upcoming horseshoe tornament that by the end of the day there have been about 63 games played... then to end that Saturday, have a program full of laughs and good times as you watch your family make fools of themselfs, but the fun thing is nobody even cares if you look silly- come to think of it, the goofier the program, the better it is... then wake up Sunday morning to sit around the campfire with these people who you love and have an amazing Testimony meeting................................ Now that was a short description of The good ole Crook Family Reunion! Most people dread going to family reunions, but we all look forward to this reunion every year, and by the end of it, talk about how much fun the next year will be!! We were able to take off Wednesday night, and come home Sunday night, and I would have to say I could have stayed another week and been fine with it! I have got a one of a kind family, that I counldn't be happier to be a part of! Thanks everyone for another fun and crazy reunion!! And COGRATS MOM for winning the horseshoe tournament!!

ItS vEgAs BaBy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Hey Hey- So this past weekend was a wild and crazy one to say the least! The Keele family headed on down to good ole LAS VEGAS for Mitchell, Larry's brothers wedding ;) Mitch will be leaving for Iraq/Afganistan (he is not sure which one yet) in three weeks and him and his now, new Sweet wife Brandy wanted to get married before he left. So to say the least, Vegas, was the way to get it done quick and easy:) We flew down Friday morning, met up with Mitch and Brandy, they got married that night and we flew home Saturday.. so it was a short and sweet trip but we still had so so much fun with many laughs and giggles....... Even if we could hear our neighbor across the hall of the hotel room cussing her child through her door!!;) Or even if we were cruisin the Vegas Strip in a 15 passanger van!! Or even if our $83 meal of fake Loberster and Crab, with a hair haging out of my egg roll wasn't fine dining.... or even if your husband has to be paged over the intercom of the airport because the plane is getting ready to leave, and his wife and screaming child our frantically calling him to only find out he is being held up in the bathroom with a not so happy Tummy......Or even if there were cockroaches on the sidewalk of the "Joyful Hearts wedding Chapel" ....... Or even if your swim suit gave you saggy poo bum.... Oh Dear- I could go on and on, but I keep cracking up just thinking of this trip and some of the "events" that happened!!! Another exciting and eventful trip with the Keeles! We are so excited to have Brandy in the family and be able to get to know her in the short two weeks we have. Congrats Brandy and Mitch, we love you both!!!!! WAHOO FOR VEGAS!!!
Rolling down the streets, in Hip, Stylin, White 15 passanger Van! If thats not cool, I don't know what is!!! Who needs an Escalade when you've got this??

My little swimmer!! She was so good in the pool! She didn't even fuss- Maybe she would have enjoyed it alittle more if she could have stayed awake... needless to say Brenley and I had to retire early from swimming because she kept falling asleep in my arms in the water!

Now this is a hard core family!! I couldn't be any prouder of my family-arn't they cool?? ??? ????

Here is the Chapel where Brandy and Mitch got married- Man, I never realized how many wedding chapels there are in Vegas... So many choices, which one to choose???
CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY ;)

Here is the "Happy Couple" right after they got married!

Dum de Dum Dum Dum!!!

(operator error) So just take my last post as umm, well I really want you to leave a comment- even if you don't even know me and are just passing through, send a little hi my way:) Thanks:)

Blessing Day!!

Sunday was such a wonderful day at our house. I had the wonderful opportunity to be a be able to hear the man that I love sooo much, give my beautiful daughter a name and a blessing. I felt the spirit so strong in that meeting! How wonderful it is, that I have the knowledge and opportunity to be able to be with my family forever- I am so proud of Larry for being the worthy priesthood holder that he is and for being able to bless Brenley. He was so nervous but was still able to give such a sweet blessing. He is such a good example to me in so many ways and is continuing to be a good example to our little girl. He is so strong, I don't think I let him know enough how proud I am of him, and the life that he has chosen to live- He couldn't make me any more happy as a wife. I thank my Heavenly Father every day for the wonderful man that I get to live with for Eternity! Thank you everyone who came to support us for Brenley's special day, It was fun being able to spend the day with the people who mean so much to us in our life! Brenley is surrounded by so many family and friends who love her- I am so greatful for all of them and the love and friendship they show to us.
