Happy birthday Lex!

Twenty Two years ago today Alexa Renee graced us with her presence. She has grown up so fast! I'm beginning to feel old. I hope you have had a nice birthday even though we can't be there to celebrate with you!

Happy Birthday Bob

Grandpa Brown's birthday was April 3rd. He was leaving to go back to Ohio on the 2nd so Brittany baked him some of his favorite brownies and we added candles and sang to him the night before he left. He always enjoyed coming down about every night to read with the kids before bedtime. The kids are going to miss him.

Old Cars

Last weekend we took a family day and headed to Vero beach , about 60 mile North of us, to an old car show. Grandpa Brown loves old cars and so we all went to see them. This was Bob's last weekend here before heading back North for the Summer. It was the perfect day. Warm ,but breezy. We looked at all the cars and had a relaxing afternoon with family.

Easter Fun

As usual I am a little behind times. I always have good intentions , but work seems to stay so busy that I don't have time to do anything at work but work. So here we are weeks later blogging about Easter. Below are pictures of the kiddos coloring eggs. Or at least attempting. They received new phones that day with unlimited texting, so we had to try it out. Old contracts were up and it was time to update. So I think the excitement was more in the phones than the eggs. Meagan had fun anyways. She had multiple colors on her hands and arms. She could have been one big egg herself.







At least Meagan enjoyed coloring eggs.




I Really like this new phone. Who cares about eggs!



Should I text or color eggs?

Happy 40th Rod!!

Today is Rod's 40th birthday.The big 4-0 has hit! So for birthday # 3 in the month of March we had another party on Sunday afternoon. As usual a houseful of people, lots of food including chicken, pork chops,potato salad, baked beans, mac & cheese , fresh baked bread, and of course cake and ice cream.
Good friend Cindy Marroquin baked the cake as usual and she just had to get Rod back for all the times he's picked on her. You must look at all aspects and sides of the cake. It was quite cute!

Meagan's party

I'm a little behind in posting from Meagan's birthday. But here are a few pictures anyhow. She dug right into the chocolate cake. This child loves anything chocolate!! And later when the gifts were opened she had fun finding the money!
She has really started jabbering lately and is coming up with her own language. She keeps us going. We have enjoyed her so much!!








Meagan Decided she liked looking at the cards once she found out what was inside some of them

Meagan found lots of loot and loved throwing it all over

Happy Birthday Meagan

Two years ago today we were graced with the presence of Meagan Sierra Brown. Meagan was the first one in the family to be born at home. A neat experience we will never forget. Meagan has been the highlight of our home for the past two years. She has kept everyone on their toes and laughing too. She has been such a joy! We wouldn't trade her for anything in this world.
Happy 2nd birthday Meagan. We love you lots!
