The Brewer 6 Then and Now...


Isn't this amazing... They look as young as ever! That was 12 years ago maybe at Virginia's wedding! so the get togethers don't happen too frequently, but once again they all got together in Red Deer! It was Josh's graduation and Kaleigh's birthday... Annette came from Halifax, Sonia nd Kaleigh came from Victoria and Derrick and family from Kamloops. Correna is in Edmonton and both Virginia and Eva live in Red Deer. First the girls shopped till they drop at West Ed Mall ( that was Kaleigh's birthday present) then they hit up Ikea and on Saturday nioght, travelled down to Red Deer to the snow belt where they had a good group visit saturday night at Virginia's and of course, on Saturday, they all wound up at Josh's graduation at Eva and Dave's.

From Left to right, we have Virginia, Eva, Annette, Derrick, Sonia nd Correna... These are the sum total of the cousins descending from Arlene, Joyce and Beatrice, the daughters of Pauline and George Lester Brewer hence the name I dubbed them : "The Brewer 6 !"

Annette and Sweet 16 Kaleigh and Sonia -Just missing Maddie which we will have to photoshop into place! They are the Bea and Emil family descendants
And from Joyce and Morgan's family, we have Virginia, and the only male, Derrick and then Correna
Just missing a pic of Eva who is the only child of Arlene and Lou.
However down below we have everyone's children ( our granchildren)
Josh is the Graduate- the son of Eva's hubby , Dave ..then Kaleigh to his right.
Son of Derrick is ethan, then Virginia's daughter , Kendra, then Eva's daughter Mackenzie, and Derrick's daughter Jamie holding the latest addition to Joyce's granchildren, little Meghan who has already turned one years old. We are just missing Maddie , Sonia's youngest, daughter ,in order to complete the grandchildren picture. She doesn't get to go to the west Ed Mall until she turns 16!


All of our beautiful children who came together and made a little part of history in these wonderful photos...I say a great big thank-you and just to say that all six of you have grown up to be fine upstanding women and men(man) with adorable kids who will carry on this legacy started by my mom and dad...bless their souls for instilling proper values in us that have shone in our children and their children... I wish they were here to see our amazing family...my mom would have loved every one of them so much! We hope she is looking down proudly on her legacy !

Hi Auntie - thanks for such a super blog post - we had such a great time - too short and too far between visits! But we managed to have a few laughs and a few drinks so it was awesome! We talked about Grandma too, so she was with us for sure. Thanks again, Love Virginia
