BIKER BOYZ

Last weekend these biker boyz hit the streets of Loa. Mo was re-living his younger RAD days with Easton, Dawson, & Ryland. They rode from the cul-de-sac to Grandma Brown's house!

Funny Farm :)

Welcome to the new addition to the Brown abode! I wish I could say the baby has arrived, but we're still waiting for him to make his grand appearance, what we do have is a llama herd. Pretty darn tutti! They are our pasture lawnmowers for the summer and they're quite the buzz of the neighborhood. Everyone keeps asking if we are going to eat them- SERIOUSLY?! We got them from PTR, the place I work, they are retired from active field duty and were looking for a good home. Meet the crew- Curly, Larry, & Marley...

Here's Mo working on the soon-to-be llama shed.

Larry is checkin' out the action.

I had to snap a pic of Charly. She's not quite sure about the llamas, but I don't think they've seen anything like her either. She had a bath with the hose today and did her usual freak-out after it was over; running around the yard rolling in the dirt & grass.

Sweet Dreams...

We've been working on getting little Brownie's nursery ready for the past month or so. It's been such a fun process getting everything ready- I've even washed all his little clothes already and put them away. A few weeks ago my Mom & Dad came down and helped paint... Yes, believe it or not, I said my Dad came to paint! He was actually the one who was directing the whole operation (the stripes were a little challenging). He assures us this hidden talent has gone dormant, never to come out again! We'll see about that, I've always got a home project on the horizon. Val came and did all the trim work- it's a good thing we've got a few handy guys in the family. So come on out Brownie- we're ready for you (or as ready as we'll ever be)!

This wall hanging is so special! Grandma Pace hand-embroidered it with all the nursery rhymes.

Blankets, Quilties, & Woobies...

A couple things are for sure- Little Brownie is spoiled (or just well-loved) and will never be cold! These are the blankets we've received from Grandmas, Great Grandmas, Aunts, and Mom (that's me & I sort-of helped with one of them).

Name Game

We need help! We still have not decided on a baby name. As time is growing short I realize we cannot name him Brownie or Baby Bob (his two nicknames so far)! I know we had a survey at the baby shower too, but I've had a few more suggestions this week. So please take a moment and vote on the survey- leave me a comment if you have any new suggestions.

Our Little Ladies!

What better way to get started than to post some pics of our cute little nieces!





I got to hang with Maddi (Clayton & Shanda's little one) yesterday afternoon. We had so much fun playing & reading stories. We even broke out some of Baby Bob's toys! Maddi loved this caterpillar toy that lights up & plays songs.














Here's a great pic of Macy (Bjarn & Becky's little one) last week at my parents' house. She was doing chores with Grandpa Steve in the tractor. She has the cutest little personality & loves to go wherever the action is!
