happy halloween

Well, Big Sister became an offial trick-or-treater. She caught right on to the fact that people were "giving" out candy, and she loved it!!!
Hence, she is such a Cowboys fan, this was the only outfit for her.

This is compliments of Merianne, but I thought that I should see exactly where I have been too. I would like to claim that I am a world class traveler, but obviously there are still a few states that I need to hit first.

a proud mama

I try and keep Big Sister's (and my own) toes painted at all times. I was painting my toes had to run out of the bathroom for 15 SECONDS and this is what I came back to....
I had already painted Big Sisters toes, but she was just doing a touch up on them. Notice that fingernail polish is only on her toes... no tile, no rug,
This is a proud moment for a mother!!!
Dad.... he didn't think that it was all that cool.

shamu

Jeff and I went to Orlando... alone. Gracie stayed at Grandmas & Papas. I am pretty sure that she ate more candy and was spoiled 24 hours a day. She didn't even miss us.
It was great to be on vacation with Jeff & just to spend time together. Did i mention that it was 96 degrees with 96 humidity the entire time.??!!! WOW!! that is HOT & humid... especially for a pregnant lady.

secrets

Well, since I am now 25 weeks along and sporting quite the little belly... I guess it is no longer a secret.
Our little girl will be here on or about December 19th. Remember how I said "I will never have a Christmas baby" Well, never say never.
Jeff and I are both excited, and SCARED!!! Our little girls will be 20 months apart and that is enough to make both of us stress.

I failed with a 33%

33%The Movie Quiz

FilmCritic.com - Movie Reviews

Ok, so since we have had a little one... Jeff & I really haven't seen that many movies. I challange Patrice to try this after a baby. Really I blame my score on the movies they chose to test me one. What about the classics!!
Try this quiz to test your movie savvy.

2 dollar bill

My sweet little Grandma passed away this last week and there is nothing better in the world than Grandmas. Every since I was little, my Grandma would give all of her grandchildren a 2 dollar bill for Christmas.
I have so many memories of her, but for some reason this one will always stick out.
I will miss her in my life & wanted to pay tribute to all that she did in her life. A funeral sure can change your outlook on life. What really is important?? and what will that say at your funeral?? There was nothing about materialistic items acquired in her 89 years, but only about all the charity that she gave & the people that loved her.

blowing kisses

Big Sister is such a big girl now. She is full of energy and loves to run & run & run. I never knew that one small little girl could be so much fun.

Camping on Fisher Flats for Memorial Day Weekend.

Luau at Whitney

It is the annual Brown Family Camp-out Reunion. This year it is a luau at Whitney, admist the mosquitos, the dirt and the smoke. What a way to spend the weekend. Big Sister had a little tummy ache (and we are all feeling better now that we are home) but other than that everyone had a great time. Did I mention the broken clavicle??? Big Sister loved playing in the bubbles. Who knew that bubbles could be so dirty??
Isn't it great that to have family that you are excited to hangout with.

Run baby run!

up and walking.

Today I am 11 months old, and I have been teetering with walking for the past 2 months. BUT, today I took 15 steps all by myself. I would think that I am on my way to running.

Watch out mom and dad!!

giggles & laughs.

Sunglasses & Sassy

Check out those two little teeth (and another one is on its way) and those sunglasses.

Most of all, isn't that a smile to die for??

home sweet home

TEXAS!!!

This is my first vacation. We went to Dallas & Ft. Worth. It was great & I was very good. We went from one end of the metroplex to the other, and got to see about 900 people.

Big Sister was there for the entertainment.

This is Big Sister, her dad, and Pecos Bill the longhorn in the Fort Worth Stockyards.

my baby girl

My baby girl, she makes me dance & twirl

Beautiful as she can be she lucky lucky me

all of God's grace, in her sweet little face

even though I pray, little she won't stay.

Please don't grow so fast, make these moments last.

Tea parties, dolls & bows

Pretty soon she will run the show.

Growing up in a whirl... my little baby girl.

Look at how fast my little one is turning into a little girl.

fairy dust

When you feel a little breeze,

or notice a tickle, or need to sneeze,

or find your things are rearranged,

or something seems a little strange

Look very closely and you might see

sparkly dust, or a buzzing bee:

Behold! a fairy with gossamer wings

has come to show you wondrous things!

merry christmas

santa baby

makes perfect sense

with a view like this, you can only imagine why I love my home. What I don't like... the early morning snowy rides to work in the winter.

pink ribbon

Since I spend so much of my time at work, I thought that I should restate the importance of mammograms!!! Yes, I have to say that I love my job & I love the people I work with .. well, most of them. No, really I have a great time at work!
Jeff just loves the patients that tell me I have the "tender touch"

ten little toes

Soon we will hear that sound so sweet, the pitter patter of little feet.
May 30, 2006.

With a smile like this, who can resist putting this picture on.

Chapter one

I am jumping on the blogger bandwagon and starting my own blogspot. Big Sister is just getting cuter and cuter by the day and I have to brag somewhere about her.
