Little Lady Brooklyn



Already practicing to be a little lady from getting her ears pierced to dressing in style. Mom loves having a little girl to play dressup with putting pretty headbands on.

She is already learning karate to protect herself from the torture of an older brother. She boxes him in the nose frequently and he hollers "Ow."

She keeps herself busy along with Mom late at night. She makes up for lost time during the day when her brother will let her. She looks forward to being blessed in February.





















































































Triple B (Busy Body Brayden)



Brayden's staying busy looking after his little sister. He is feeding bottles to her, giving her the pacifier plug (whether she wants it or not) and in his spare time making messes (crumbs and all) and running circles around Mom. This includes keeping us on our toes.

He loves the TT (the TV) more than he should and books just enough to occupy his time. He is so helpful with the laundry making sure every color goes in the same basket, "No Mom this belongs in this pile."

Brayden is all about snacks this applies to very everything from cookies to chips to pretzels) all through the day if his Mom would let him. Who needs a nutritious dinner anyways????

Brayden is constantly learning how to use a tricycle but seems that his feet are of better use on the ground than on the pedals.

Christmas 2007

About Us

The Christmas season was an enjoyable one for the Dale Family residing in Mesa, AZ. We welcomed our 2nd child, Brooklyn Ann Dale, into the world on December 3rd, 2007. It was an amazing experience once again to see a precious infant enter into this world. It was a wonderful gift for Mary, Brayden, & I this Christmas season. This was such a joyous event in our lives especially during this holiday season when we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.

Brayden is now 2 years old. He is such a joy to have in our lives although he does keep us on our toes at all times. He is currently learning how to cohabitate with little Brooklyn. He is growing so much and is having tons of fun in nursery. He loves playing with toys especially anything that has four wheels.

Mary is keeping herself occupied with being a mom. She is always trying to find time to scrapbook the many pictures that are taken of our family and events that occur in our lives. We traveled up to Moab, Utah in June 2007 and made it to Corona, California where we visited the Cook Family (Ryan, Shelley, Caiden, Camden, & Londyn). We try and make it up to Shumway, AZ to visit Mary's residence as a kid. Mary is currently the ward program specialist which she faithfully does week in and week out.

Danny is currently enjoying being a Dad to two kids who he loves dearly. He is currently employed with Gold Canyon where he has been for about the past ten years except for a two year mission to Guatemala. He is the assistant Deacons Quorum advisor which enjoys immensely. He loves being at home with his wife and kids.

It is the close of another year and will be the beginning of a new year 2008. The world is filled with so much uncertainty, but the gospel of Jesus Christ is the anchor in our lives. Merry Christmas (a few days late) and a Happy New Year 2008.
