TaDa............its done....

wow, its done, and Landon would really like
just one bite.....but the girls wanted to save it
show mommy and daddy's, we didn't...
we ate cookies, and cakes, and so did Landon
but we did take pictures, and yes, Shelby has
removed her shirt, she has switched aprons, and
Preslee didn't care, she was just happy that mixer thing was done...not her favorite....we had a blast.....I have Christmas pictures ready, but I was a little under the weather on Christmas Eve, and don't really have great ones, Mark didn't do a good job again.........but I will put them on here.
I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas, and we are all looking forward to a Happy New Year...Love Becky, Shelby, Landon, and Preslee
look for our cooking show coming really soon.........

they were all done, and Happy with their choices,

they are done, now, and Shelby couldn't help giving Preslee a big kiss for all her help, and then of course Preslee gave Shelby one, and then they hugged, and squealed like they had not seen each other in days or weeks, as they always do........they truly love one another more than I've ever seen two kids, but believe me they can still fight............they are Nanny's babies forever though.

Landon watching....

Landon thought it was all very funny, and he just wanted a bite of whatever it was they were cooking, Nanny's kitchen was smelling really sweet just about now.....

more cooking

We were getting all "cracked" up over this , Preslee did realy good, Shelby had to dig out just a little bit of shell.....but they were so cute...........and of course............next picture is

The girls helping Nanny cook

The girls helped Nanny make cakes, cornbread, and cookies before Christmas, they did it all, eggs, milk, sugar, mixer, measuring, and pouring...it was so fun. Preslee has nanny's blue apron on, and Shelby has one made by aunt Barbara for me a few years ago....

Christmas Program


The girls were in a Christmas Program at their mothers day out, it was so cute, very quite, but still very cute, they sang about 12 songs, and they knew the words to all of them, they just didn't always sing them. hahahaha , it was worth every moment of moving around on the stage, I don't have great pictures because...I was to busy watching and so was my dear sweet Mark.....but it was great... Shelby is on the bottom row, the teacher is in red sweter,black pants, then a little girl in a red dress& white tights, then Shelby, in her jeans, Preslee is almost directly behind her in a red sweater,next to the boy in the red vest.

We are the Drake's

The first 25 years of our marriage we didn't have digital cameras, let alone computers......It is not until after our 1st grandchild actually is born before we get a cameras, so its rather wordy, not by pictures, then we have pictures, so please bare with me.....Mark and I got married in April of 1979. The day was the 20th day of April, and it was the most wonderful day in my life. We just went to the Court House and got married...When you know something is right, its just right.
Justin our son, was born March 9 1980, and then Tiffiany our daughter was born January 13th 1982. We kinda adopted another son Bradley Turner along about the time Justin was in the 4th grade. He has a wonderful mom, he just kinda stayed with us a lot, and we called him our son, he is now grown and living in Lufkin Texas as a youth Pastor, but he is still our son. Over the years so much has happened and time flew by so fast. I'm going to post a few pictures later, and talk about some of those times, but for now I just wanted you to know who we are....We are the Drakes.....Mark, Becky, Justin, TIff, and of course Brad. We are a Blessed family. Our New additions have been Brandi--- Justin and her were married on April the 20th 2002,yes, it is the same date as our anniversary, what an Honor to celerate the same wedding date as your son, just different by about 23 years or so. Then there was Jordan---- Tiffiany and him were married on March the 8th 2003. Then we had a few more additions, Justin and Brandi had a beautiful baby girl Preslee Reese on March the 4th 2005, then Tiffiany and Jordan gave us another beautiful granddaughter on June the 30th 2006, and this coming April or May Justin and Brandi will be delivering our 1st grandson, Landon Kade....We have been growing by leaps and bounds, and it is all so wonderful.....Jordan and Tiffiany and Shelby are actuallys the Campbell Family....but we kept them under the Drake family as it all I know how to do right now.....I'm learning.......
