Boondocks fun!

Kelli and Nate went out of town and we got to have Hailee stay with us for a few days. We made the most of it. We went to Boondocks and played laser tag, mini golf and bowling! It was a great day! They all had so much fun!

Luke and Bella celebrated their birthdays at grandma and grandpa's and had a blast!

Baptism #2 Jayden

We were able to see another cousin get baptized today.

Jayden is the first to be baptized on the Brown side. It was a wonderful experience and we're all so glad we could be there with him.

Luke's Baptism

Luke was baptized today and it was great for all the kids to see.

Bella is getting so excited for her turn next year. In fact the primary pres even told me the date for Bella's. Jan 5th 2013. Yes, she's very on the ball!

Anyway seeing this baptism made it very real for Seth and I. I mean I can remember Luke and Bella playing in diapers when I lived at Laura's and it seems like it was just yesterday.

And in classic Luke fashion he was more interested in counting the money he got from grandparents. Laura said he could go anywhere he wanted for dinner after and he picked CHUCKA RAMA. Classic Luke.

Breakfast With Grandpa

Bella's school is always doing such fun things.
For example: dad's and donuts, mom's and muffins, birthday lunch tables where parents can bring lunch for the student.
This morning was grandparents and goodies. Which meant cinnamon rolls from a local bakery and reading books in the morning before school started.
Bella's pretty lucky. She has 4 grandma's, 1 grandpa, and 4 great-grandparents. All still living. So she had her pick. Too bad all the grandparents work.
Luckily grandpa was able to go with Bella and her cousins (another plus, she has goes to school with her cousins).
What a great experience.

Camden gets baptized

My sweet little nephew Camden was baptized today. I was grateful that Bella could be there and witness something so special. Seth and I had the awesome privilege of teaching Camden's primary class for a year and it was great being with him and watching him grow during that time. He has always been a great example to Bella and today was no different. We love you Cam!
