This post is a litte random.  Just wanted to post some new pictures and give an update of what's been going on.

  • Bayla is obsessed with Elmo - she calls him MoMo and this whole time I have been thinking she's saying Momma.  Ha ha.  I see who is more fun than me Ü 
  • May 1st we got pictures taken with Jake's siblings and families so we could surprise his mom with a nice photo of us all on Mother's Day.  Thanks to Tyson with Legend Photography.
  • Jake's brother graduated last Saturday.  Congrats Dave and Happy Birthday too!  Dave and Hayley moved to Texas this week for the summer to do sales.  Good luck and we'll MISS YOU!
  • It was my 2nd Mother's Day.  We enjoyed our time up in Logan.  Jake and Bayla got me a spa gift certificate (even though Jake probably needs it more than I do since he's Mr. Mom).  Jake's Dad sent all of us girls flowers.  Thanks Dan!  He's out in PA building for a few months and we sure miss him.  Michele made a yummy dinner and spoiled us as usual.  The weather was beautiful and we played outside a lot that day.
Here are some recent photos!

Spring Hat Party 2010

Thursday, April 22, 2010

The Brown's have started a new tradition (or at least I hope it is) where all the girls on the Brown side of the family get together and enjoy some good eats, treats, a craft, and lots of socializing. Grams of course had some fun games. You are required to wear a hat to the event (but we still let some in that didn't) Ü

Michele had decorated the tables so cute and prepared some delicious food and then Grams made her famous rolls and her amazing salad that I could have everyday. And yes I did go back for seconds on the salad. Kelly brought craft supplies and we made these adorable necklaces. I should have taken a picture of some. They were way easy and turned out way cute. Thanks Kelly for the fun craft. It was a lot of fun making them. Here are some pictures I did take of the day. Enjoy!!

Easter 2010

We spent Easter this year up at my dad's house. My sister Stephanie and her family were there also spending the holiday and then my sister Kathryn came down from BYU-Idaho and spent it with us too. We had a lot of fun just hanging out and watching conference and doing a little shopping. They had an Easter egg hunt for the older kids and lots of goodies. Bayla enjoyed playing with all of the eggs and eating jelly beans. My dad made a yummy meal like usual and we definitely enjoyed that. I didn't take too many pictures that weekend, but here are a few from Easter.

We had a lot of fun besides the driving part :) I forgot my camera a lot of the time so I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted. But here are some that I did get.
