Harvest Hoedown

After picking up the last minute things, like 30 dozen cupcakes!!!!!

On October 17th, PTA held it's 2nd annual Harvest Hoedown at our kids' school. It was a lot of work to put it on, but it was a LOT of fun!!!! Everyone had a great time!!! Here are a couple of pictures of that. We made a haunted house in one of the empty portables, it was amazing. I think we were pretty proud of ourselves!!!!

I haven't blogged in a while, so here it is......
I guess it's been pretty busy around here. Baseball started for both boys, and as everyone who has kids in sports knows, that takes up a half of the week. Carlee is running with a few friends (and training, Iguess) for LV Kids Marathon in December. That is on Mondays and Thursdays after school. Braxton has Robotics Club after school on Wednesdays and Thursdays. And Katie has dance on Fridays at 4:30pm. Then there is PTA. That takes up A LOT of time. We are putting on a Harvest Hoedown on Oct. 17th from 4:30pm to 8:00pm, so that has taken a lot of my time also.(Anyone who reads this blog is invited to our school's Harvest Hoedown, it's going to be a lot of fun!!!!!!!) Not to mention the fundraiser that is going on right now. Jeff is staying really busy at work. I guess once school started so did our crazy busy life. But I am not complaining. Our kids are involved in activities that they enjoy, and I guess it's better than sitting in front of the T.V. (although sometimes I dream of a day that I can just sit and watch a movie)
So, for those of you who have been trying to get a hold of us, sorry we haven't called back. It's just been a little busy, to say the least!!! (by the way, I don't have any pictures to post)

Does anyone have dance fever????

Need I say more????????????? (you will have to pause the music to hear her dad in the background)

Sleepy Little Girl!!!!

So, this afternoon as I was checking my email, Katie was by me talking to me. I wasn't really paying attention to her, but a few minutes later, I looked over to see what she was doing, and this is how I found her!!!!

Why do I have a pack-n-play out when Katie is already 5??!! No, I don't usually keep it out. That is not where she sleeps!!!!! My sister-in-law, Melissa is here with my cute little niece London. That is why it's out!!!

I guess, Katie was done waiting for me to talk to her, so she decided to take a little snooze. Kindergarten must be wearing her out!!! And of course, she has her silky - we don't go anywhere without those!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THE NAME IS.............

Baby Brown now has a name!!! YEAH!!!!!!!

And his name is................................. Camper Grae Brown!!!!!!

BABY BROWN IS HERE!!!!!
