About Us

Shawn and I were married 19 years ago. Since then we have had three great children: Elias is 17, Dalton is 15, and Megan is 12. They are our lives. We go to a lot of football and basketball games and dance reviews but, we love it and wouldn't change our lives for the world. I've started this blog so that family and friends can see what's going on in the Brooks family. So enjoy...

Blogging

Well, I have been on Facebook for almost a year and during the last week I realized how awesome a blog can be. I went to Relief Society Night and Tenille Blackett had a book she compiled with all her blog posts and pictures. I realized it was an awesome way to journal life and keep a family history. Facebook is fun. It allows you to see what people are doing on a day-to-day basis but, after all is said and done, I've spent my time on something not very productive. So, I am going to make a new goal to write on my blog at least two times a week. I figure I make the time for Facebook why not make time for my own blog. At the end of the year I'm going to make my own book. I am really pretty excited about it.

So, life has been very hectic (as usual). Work is still very good and I love it. We took the kids to Disneyland for Christmas which was the best. We flew down on Christmas night. We spent Saturday walking on the Hollywood walk of fame and seeing the Hollywood area. On Sunday we relaxed and went to visit my aunt Janice and uncle Kelly and their kids. It is always so good to see them. Monday and Tuesday we went to Disneyland and it was so busy! Both days the park was so full it was closed to more guests. The kids had such a great time. Elias sprained his MCL in wrestling and so we rented him a wheelchair. This got us access to the front of every line which made the Disneyland experience so sweet. When others were waiting in line for over an hour we just went past them and waited, at the most, 20 minutes. Good times. The boys and their dad got kicked off of Tower or Terror. That is a great story and will probably be in the Brooks' legends forever. We went to the beach on Wednesday. It was rainy and cold but the view was still pretty. We couldn't see for miles but we could still see the waves breaking. Thursday we flew home. The kids had a great time and so did we.

Hi Auralee! You have such a cute family. I'm curious though, how did your boys get kicked off of Tower of Terror?! I'll bet that WAS a good story!
