A New Look. . .

Someone got a "little" carried away while using markers and decided to give herself a make over. Am I surprised? Not in the least. This is our Alexandria we are talking about. . .

Good thing she is cute and I thought it was funny, but she completely ruined that adorable little penguin shirt she wore ONE time!

First Snow of the Season

Our first snow was actually back in October but it has been our best one yet and the only one the kids have been able to play in. Since then, we have been battling croupe, pneumoina, upper respiratory infections and strep. Fun stuff. Definitely looking forward to more days like this :)

BRING ON THE SNOW!!!!

Our Eternal Family

The Brown family had the honor of being sealed together and becoming an eternal family on August 12, 2011 in the Logan, Utah temple. Such a beautiful temple! I fell in love with the stone and castle look to it. (I apologize that this post has taken so long to get to!) This experience was the greatest and most beautiful of my life. My children looked so heavenly dressed in their white angelic outfits and my husband was glowing with happiness. The feelings I had there in the sealing room inside the temple can never be put into words. There are none as beautiful as what I felt there. I am so grateful for the wonderful family and friends that were able to be there with us to share in our special day. I am so grateful for the gift of eternal families. A heaven without my family would not be a heaven at all. Thank you Heavenly Father for making eternal families possible :) I love you guys!!!

My sisters Elizabeth and Melinda, Stepmom Starla and niece Nataleigh.

Trick or Treat!

I was sooo super excited to get to dress up from characters from "The Wizard Of Oz" this year! We have been planning this for 2 years and so I was ecstatic! I got the kids all excited about it too by watching the movie together. So, this year, we starred as, Michael: Scarecrow, Me: Wicked Witch of the West, Lily: Dorothy, Alex: the most adorable Cowardly Lion ever!, and Sawyer: as the cutest little Tin Man. It was so fun and we got so many compliments! :)

Pumpkin Patch Adventures 2011

We took the kiddos to Diane's Corn Maze and Pumpkin Patch in Canon City for some pumpkin pickin', tractor ridin', corn maze fun. We all had a great time! The kids loved picking out their own pumpkins and taking a ride on the tractor hay ride. They also hada really cool huge pipe slide the kids enjoyed taking turns coming down. Prices were very decent and we even left with some candy. I think we will be back next year!
