It's about time!

So it's about time... I haven't posted anything forever! Here are a few of our Holiday pics. We had a great Holiday at our house and I enjoyed almost two weeks off of work. Jake was spoiled rotten (or just well loved) even though he was a little more into the wrapping paper than the gift that was actually wrapped. One significant sad spot was the loss of Uncle Mark. We will miss his dry sense of humor, kindness, and friendship. He was always willing to lend a hand to help me out with any home remodeling project I had going at the time.




Jake was maxed out!

Our future operator!


The boys at the Christmas party

Jake & Jaiden. Do you think they're wearing the same size onesie? Think not!!

Cousins all circled up. Would have been cool if they were all paying attention, but what are the chances of that?!

Jake-O-Lantern!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Jake's Latest...

Jake's latest feature is sticking out his tongue. He just discovered it's there and it's his new favorite thing!

Our little man is growing up! He's graduated from the sink bath to his own bathtub.

Jake started sitting in his bumbo and he loves it!

Tee and Jake at the parade!

This was Jake's first ride in the grader and the first day he was actually dirty! His hair was full of dust and he smelled like a working man- too cute!



Anyone who knows me, knows that I love Argyle- so I love this pic!

Tummy Time!



Too tight pj's! Having a meltdown!

Jake's checkin' out his tutti flip flops!


Jake and Cassandra Lynn Rees- Jake looks so big in comparison! Baby Cassie was about 4-5 days old.

This turned out to be a bit of a belly shirt as Jake grew. Mom had to have him wear it one more time and Dad insisted that it be retired immediately!

Dark Valley

A few weeks ago our little fam of 3 went to Dark Valley to spend the weekend at the cabin. We had a great time! We went for a 4-wheeler ride, ate lots of good food, relaxed, I read a book (I stayed up almost until daylight reading one night- I love a good page-turner!), and Mo gathered firewood. Heath, Tif, Halley, & Tee came out for dinner one night. The little kids had lots of fun and us big kids must have had fun too; we fixed dinner and chatted and it was midnight before we knew it!


Tee was sharing his Lincoln Logs with Jakers. They're such good little buddies!

Brown Campout

I haven't been bloggin' for a while, so I've got some catching up to do. Last month we went camping for our Brown Family Reunion on the Boulder Mountain. We all had a great time 4-wheeling, fishing, and spending time together at camp.




There aren't too many HAPPY CAMPERS in this pic!


Tee is such a little boy- he was filthy! The photo really doesn't even do justice to the dirt he was covered in.


Cutest Maddi- playing in the creek!


Ryland and his HUGE fish- look hard it's there! The kids had so much fun fishing in the little creek next to our campsite. Val made them all fishin' poles out of a willow and string. All they had to do was drop their worm in the creek and they'd catch these little fish.


Jake's campin' pj's- he's so cute! He slept so well while we were camping!


Mo taking Tee, Jake, Emily, & Cheyanne for a 4-wheeler ride around camp!

Jake's Newborn Pics!

Here are some of Jake's newborn pics. He was three weeks old at the time. My how time flies... I can't believe he's already eight weeks old now!! He had his two month check-up today and shots :( He weighs 12 lb. 8 oz. and is 23.5" long. He's a healthy little boy and growing like a weed!

Say Cheese!

Jake started smiling the last couple days. It has been my mission to get a picture of him while he's doing it. Mission accomplished! I snapped these pics yesterday.
