The Brian Klaus Family

Brian, the baby of our family is now 31 years old! wow, that happened fast!

Brian is a great Daddy and has provided us with 2 very Grand-kids; Brooklynn (age 10) and Bahn; aka 'The Dude'; as we called him is 3 years old, as Monty says, 'The Dude Abides'.

Brian & Bonnie live in Bend so we get to see them often. Bonnie has been with Costco for a long time! (not sure how many years now, but she about runs the place!).

Bonnie is wonderful, patient and sweet; she always has a smile on her face as she endures our families 'disfunctions'!

Brian drives a Truck for JR Faulkner and loves it.

Brian loves to fish, (any kind of fishing will do). *His goal for this coming year is to learn to like to EAT fish!

Brooky is quite a girl, she is Brian's 'Minnie Me', (which is a scary thought, as Brian had no fear and was always into something that could get him hurt or in danger)!

Brooky is the same way, 2 summers' ago, she broken arm on a trampoline (which really upset her, as she did not get to swim all summer)!

She is usually bruised and scraped and moving at full speed ahead at all times, she does not have time for walking or looking where she is going!

With that said, Brooky is also a great student in the 4th Grade and a very good reader, her teachers have tested her and she is in the 126 % aisle for reading (were not sure what that means, but is sure sounds smart to us!).

Bahn is a very curious, very busy little guy. The 'Dude' can open any door, answer any phone, open any can, jar or bottle of pills; will pull the sharpest item in the drawer and take off running before we even notice he has left the room! He has learned to open the front door and head out for adventure, yes, the Dude sure keeps everyone on their toes, to see what he is in to next!

Bonnie had high hopes that at least one of her kids would be 'calm and easy' to raise, but so far, they are just like their Daddy! We think she should get extra compensation for that!
