My grandma and grandpa adopted my brother and I when we were little. My grandpa had two children in prior marriage. My grandpa passed away a couple years ago, in his will he left a few acres to his son from first marriage, but left everything to my grandma(who is still living). Everything is hers(including theses few acres) as long as she is still alive, correct? As long as she is still living, the son cannot get his few acres, correct? If my grandma deed's over all the land to me and my brother while she is still alive, is there anything the son can do about it? Even thou my grandpa left him a few acres in his will? How do we change minerals she in Texas(lives in Oklahoma) over into our name?

First, if he expressly left the few acres to his son, then the son owns those acres and the executor of his estate should have transferred ownership when the will was probated. It all depends on how the will was worded. Even if he left it to the son giving his wife a life estate, its belongs to the son upon the wife's (your grandma) death.

So, no she can't legally deed the property to you.
