Brody seems to love Elmo, so he got a few things that should keep him occupied for a while. He also got an adorable three piece suit for church. The picture is not the actual one; his is more stylish(of course).
This tree is taller than four stories and was gorgeous. It was really neat to see people iceskating around it and on the first leel there was a live band playing Christmas music. If I can figure out how to get the pictures off my phone I will post them as well.
I couldn't resist taking this picture. I love to get Brody dressed up for church every Sunday and by the look on his face you can just tell that he loves it too. So, he has the decision on whether or not to go on a mission someday, but if he does decide to I think he would be the most handsome one out there. Maybe he'll go to Hawaii like his dad!
You never complained about your older sisters who made you dress certain ways and did your hair just because we were girls. 
I am jealous how talented you are with computers and other electronic devices. You've gotta learn that most of us don't get it when you talk about mega bites and zip files. (What???) I am glad though, that you are always there to answer my questions.
You have so much ahead of you in the next few years...mission, more college, marriage...this time of your life is such an exciting one.
Summer feeding Brody some good Thanksgiving food.

Grandma Mainng loving the great grand babies.
Alright, who is younger?!? Ryan is getting tall.
Brody had a great time going to the park in our town for the very first time. He swang on the swing and seemed to have a smile on the entire time.
They are dress/skirt extenders. I have had so many dresses or skirts where I wish I could have used one of these instead of getting rid of it. So stinkin smart. They are about 26.00 and come in different styles and colors. www.shadeclothing .com They are having free shipping between now and Nov. 22nd. 
Brody played the part of the great tour guide until he decided he wanted to eat him. 
There is a pond right by our house so we took him there to check out the bugs and the scenery.
Here he is in Waxahachie's down town section of antique shopping and little cafes. 
We then took him to Waxahachie's amazingly gorgeous court house. I really can't tell you how long ago it was constructed, but it looks old. There are carvings all over the building and only Jeff's parents know why I laugh when I think about those carvings. 
Mason Culpepper & Brody
He's so cute in the picture, but two seconds later he's having a cow.
Mia, a little girl in the ward and only two, tries her hardest because she sees Brody crying. It was adorable. I gave up though and packed up my stuff. So much for scrapbooking. I guess Heavenly Father made babies so cute for a reason. My positive of the day: Brody finally fell asleep in my arms after a long struggle.
Averi Rogers (cutest name ever)was born Nov. 2nd and weighed 6lbs. 15 oz to Rick and Kristi. Rick is Jeff's older brother and is baby #5 for them. She is grand baby #15 on Jeff's side of the family. Family parties are going to be huge a few years down the road!
