Random Pictures of Ashley Brooke

Surf City, North Carolina 2009

Lindsey at Myrtle Beach State Park, July, 2007

The camera was zoomed to the max on this picture from our beach house.

View from the front porch of the beach house.

Lindsey still likes playing in baskets.





View from inside the house. I've never seen North Carolina oceans look so blue.

Summer Pictures at my Dad's house

Lindsey, Ashley, and baby Briar.

Lindsey loves fresh blackberries! She won't eat them from the grocery store.

Leah and Lindsey picking blackberries.

Lindsey, my dad, and Leah, my sister with my dad's new pizza oven (obssesion.)

Linda, Mendy's mom, and baby Briar Wade.


Leah, me, and Lindsey playing with sparklers.


Ashley and Lindsey finally got to meet Briar this past weekend. Both of my girls loved him! I must say, he does have the most laid back personality that I have ever seen!

Silly Lindsey...

Ashley...

Ashley has no problem taking pictures of herself, but she refuses to let anyone else take a picture of her. That's why there are not many pictures of her posted on the family blog. It's a shame because she's a gorgeous girl with a bubbly personality.

Briar Wade Shank

Aunt Liz and Briar, who wasn't exactly thrilled.

It seems that all babies make "bird faces."

Mamaw, Briar, Leah, my Dad, and Brandon.

Briar and Uncle Brandon! Soon they'll be wrestling!

Briar sitting with Mamaw.

Briar and his mommy- who is my sister, Leah.

Roadside America, Shartlesville, Pennsylvania

Lindsey and Nan

Paul and Lindsey like "The great and beautiful indoor minianture village." Ashley, however, was not impressed :)

About 45 minutes south of my Grandmother's house is Roadside America. My mom used to take us (Leah, Andrew, and myself) when we were kids to visit. Funny, nothing has changed since I last visited, which was about 15 years ago!

Four Generations

My mom, Marie, myself, Lindsey, and my Grandmother.

Lindsey's first school lunch.

Lindsey, Brandon, and his girlfriend.
Lindsey and Uncle B!

Not a big fan of strawberry milk.

Brandon wanted us to eat lunch with him at his elementary school, which happens to be the same one I attended! Below are the pictures from Lindsey's first lunch at a public school cafeteria.

Leah's Baby Shower

The cake.

Kassie Collins, myself, Lindsey, and Leah (with the baby.)


My mamaw is a great- grandmother! Actually, her mother is alive and is a great- great grandmother.

Liz and Leah

There were actually a lot of men at the shower.

Womenfolk.

Trip to Virginia January, 2009

Lindsey's new favorite pasttime is playing with playdough. She's tried a bite or two or three :)

My mamaw (my paternal grandmother) can't play on the floor, but Lindsey and Brandon loved playing at the table!

Lindsey and my dad wrestling at Leah's house. Why do dads and granddads always want to wrestle right before bed time? In this case it was nap time, but they had fun :)

My dad can make wonderful creations with the stuff. Lindsey liked the "enchiladas."

"Horsing" around!

"Flying."
