Well To make a long story I have started home schooling , a preschool, a garden and many other things and yet I can some how never find time to update my blog. Hm I wonder why??? Life is good but very busy. Braiden and Kloey love homeschooling and so do I. We are growing closer as family and I get to go back relearn everything and learn new things as well. This year we are learning about different part of the world and Earth science. As well as all the extra fun things. I will try to update more as slowly find time!!

Rocye had a very fun First Birthday!! He woke up to chocolate pancakes( which he loves) them we met up with Grandma and went to the Tempe Splash park. Royce loves the water he my little fish. He also love playing outside. That evening we had his favorite dinner. Enchiladas with beans. He loves anything with beans in it. He ate too much of his dinner that he did not want any cake on his birthday. I am sure he will make up for it latter. He also got his first hair cut too that day by Grandma. It took some work but we did it.

Royce then latter that week shared a party with Nathan(his cousin). We had fun swim party. Royce loves to help daddy drive to the pool. He also likes dirt. He found some at the pool after he had enough swimming. What true boy he is. Loves anything outdoors and can never get enough dirt. We love our Rocye and so happy to have him!! They always say third time the charm , and he truly is!!

2009-04-01T21:22:00.001-07:00

Braiden turn 7 years old!! He had a Grand day. He woke up to a birthday breakfast cake...

then unwrapped his totally cool presents. Yes we got him socks, tin foil, and duck tape. He loved it all and thought they were the coolest gifts ever!! He loves making things out of them such as light sabers, masks, footballs, and any other little thing a seven years old boy can come up with.(Kloey could not wait to tell Braiden happy birthday)

Later that day we went shooting. Braiden loves to do this despite my dislike for guns. I did go because it was his birthday!! Him and Daddy had to find a good spot to set things up at.

Royce enjoyed himself too. He loves being out side. Isn't he cute!!

Here I am with the gun. Yes did shoot it and not just pose with it. I think I shoot 6 bullets. Here we have the rock we found me and the kids are rock hounds. I have always loved rocks and that has passed down to my kids. Braiden loves to find random rocks. Sometimes the rocks get to be bit too much and we have to limit him.

To top it all off we went to Amazing Jake's for dinner!! What a fun day. It could not have been any better.

We love our Braiden Oliver!

2009-03-02T21:29:00.000-08:00

Braiden and I got to go on a Field Trip to the Rock and Mineral Museum. It was soo fun and now Braiden is an even bigger rock how. I too like rocks. What can I say it runs in family.
We Love or should I say everyone but me love to get dirty!! We were invited to go Quading and (race cars or sand rail what ever you call those things) with our friends . We all had fun and yes I got dirty and enjoyed myself!! Thank You Friends!!

Thanksgiving

2008-12-09T21:58:00.000-08:00

I am thankful for many things this year...

Family

Health

Home

Love

Stability

Gospel

My Savior

Temples

My list could go on all day. We had a good Turkey Day this year. Mark and Braiden woke up early and went to go play foot ball while Koley, Rocey, and I stayed home to watch the parade and start cooking the turkey!! Yes I cook my first turkey. It really was not that hard. I found a good recipe and followed it exactly. I made sure to study it and read then reread it to make sure I was doing it right. I know this is silly but I had dreams the night before Thanksgiving that I had burned the turkey or had done something really bad to it. But not to worry all turned out good. Kloey and Royce really like the parade. Kloey could not wait to see Santa. Well Latter that day We all wrote on table what we were thankful for Braiden wrote a lot , It was cute to see how much he was thankful for and how much he is growing up. The first Kloey thing said she was thankful for was Jesus. I Love this time of year !!

Halloween

2008-11-05T12:25:00.000-08:00

Our Halloween was full of lots fun this year. We had two parties we went to. The first one was at Mark's parents ward, it was an ugly bug ball, the kids had lots fun dancing and running around. The second was our ward party, it was a Chile cook off. I must say there was some dang good Chile there. There was also a lot people there but it was fun. My kids really like to dress up. Kloey loved being a Pink Poodle and slept in her costume after both parties. Braiden was the best Ninga and he had really good "skills". Mark was a used car sells man and I was his secretary. Royce was our little bumble bee. So lets all remember to brush good so the dentist does not make any money this Halloween!!

2008-11-05T12:22:00.000-08:00

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

2008-11-03T13:00:00.000-08:00

Well here is the arm update. Here is Braiden with his first cast, with this one they left the pins in. They said the pins would come out threes week from when they put the first cast on. Three weeks later we went back they took the pins out( Not a big deal) Braiden was trooper and the Dr. said it would not hurt , and hey what do you know, it didn't. Then at the time they took some more x-rays and the Dr check Braiden out. Braiden said "ow" every time he saw the Dr. touch his arm. So better safe then sorry Braiden got another cast(a green one). On the x-ray you can see the new bone growing in. Well today we went and got the second one off. Yea!! Now I do not have to bath three kids anymore and Braiden is on his own for bath time!! His arm is stiff and he will still need to go easy on it for about another month but the Dr. said to slowly start using it. So Maybe in about a month Braiden can Finlay start learning how to ride his bike with out train wheels. I can say I am glad to see my sons arm again. Oh by the way Kloey thinks she is getting a ... can you guess a pink one soon. She told me today she going to get one.

The cast coming off!!!

The two pin the were in Braiden's arm. The coin the so you can see how big the were .

Braiden and his cast. He wanted to keep it. It kind of smelled!!

Kloey is Growing up!!

2008-10-24T23:47:00.000-07:00

Kloey is becoming a big girl!! We started a co- op preschool in my ward about a month ago. I of course had to take pictures of Kloey's " first day" of school. She we so happy to go to school like Braiden does and Braiden can not wait to ask her what she learns about. She is grow up soo fast but has you can see she still holds on to some baby things.

On our way to school!! P.S. her blanket is in the purse

"Can I come in?"

Aren't we all so happy for school!!!

Smile

2008-10-24T23:40:00.000-07:00

Sometimes in life we forget to smile. I love when my kids smile and they each have their own very cute smiles!! So do not forget to smile today!!

Braiden's New Love !!

2008-10-24T23:23:00.001-07:00

Braiden came home from school one day and told me he want a bakugan. I said "you want a bop you what??". Then he corrected me he told me all about them. He sometime makes up new toys so I just thought it was one of those things. But I was wrong and I soon found out that they were a real toy at the store. I told I would get him(before I knew how much they were). Well so far he only has one and I must say it kind of silly. I think that they would compare it to pogs. The thing that every kids has and it soo cool but you do not know why they are cool you just have to have one or hundred if you are really cool. I told Braiden he can save his own money up and buy his own because I do not wish to spend my money on such a small thing that is not really worth it in my opinion.

Monday"Trampoline Warning"

2008-09-25T22:45:00.000-07:00

This is what happen when you put a dad who likes to jump on the trampoline together with a

6 year skinny little boy who love to do daring things!!

Do not do it!!!

Story:

Monday morning

8:30am: boy goes to school with two loos teeth. Mom thinks hey let make it a fun day and bring the boy out to lunch.

11:08am: Mom and Dad get to school to find out lunch is only 20 min. Mom says hey the is OK we can bring him back a little late for just today. Mom walks back to find boy. Finds boy sitting nurses office eating lunch because his tooth is loss and he dose not want to loss it in his food. Mom says Dad will pull it at lunch. Family goes to lunch Dad pulls tooth!! Yea another tooth gone!!

4:00pm: Boy comes home does home work, Family then goes to friends for dinner!! While at friends boy JUMPS on Trampoline with Dad. They are playing criss-cross apple sauce. Dad bounces boy too high boy come down! Lands on arm! OH NO, Mom and Dad does not think it is too bad.

7:00pm: Mom takes boy to ER (with out having dinner). Nurses and doctors say you will be here at least 4 hours or maybe overnight(boy gets drugs to help with pain and does not remember much else). X-ray comes back it is broken. Doctors say lets prep for surgery. Wow!! Mom did not know it would be this bad.

11:00pm: Nurses take boy to prep for surgery.

12:45am: Doctors come out of surgery. All went well.

Well Can I just say it has been a long week. Braiden the other day (Wed) was talking to a friend form school on the phone and told him that he was in the hospital for three days. I then told him that he was only in there for one and he said "you got to be kidding me". Braiden does really remember much other than jumping and going to to the ER. He had some good medicine. I am totally warn out and look here I am 11:oo at night blogging. Let just say I am hopeless. I can not stop going. Oh on Monday Briaden gets his cast and he can not wait to have everyone sign it. Oh this just a side not Kloey now has a hurt arm and all her toy now go to the hospital to get their arms fixed. She must doing everything Braiden does.

P.S. We still love you Brown Family and even though Braiden proclaims trampolines are his worst enemy I think he will someday rethink that. Oh and most of the doctors and nurses did not even have to ask how he got this broken arm!LOL!! Thank you to all friends and family for help this week!

Royce's Blessing Day

2008-09-11T22:10:00.000-07:00

This was a fun and tired day for all . We have 8am church , yes I know that is early , and me not being a morning person make it so much more earlier. The night before I was up till about 1am making cinnamon rolls, picking up Royce's blessing outfit , cleaning up the house , getting things ready for church, and putting together food. I was a busy person between the hours of 10pm and 1 am. Yes I know that what I get for putting things off and wanting everything ready. Well anyway we were on time to church and of course our family was all there before us ( who live 5min away). Oh on side note Royce was bit constipated the week prior to Sunday we gave him a suppository to help thing out Saturday night. Well have church He let it go and his outfit was very close to not being white anymore Yea!! That is really the only time I would have been happy to teat a poop stain. Can I just say it is not fun to have a backed up baby. The blessing went good Royce looked like stud and Mark did a wonderful job. I am thankful to have husband who holds the Priesthood and is able to bless our family so much as a father should. I am so thankful for my children who teach me so much, I am thankful to be able to be mother and I hope and pray I can a good job raising the children the lord has given me.

Kloey the mommy !!

2008-09-09T16:39:00.001-07:00

Kloey has done very well Royce !! She calls him her "Baby Royce ". She loves to hold him and put his Binky in his mouth(even when he dose not want it). She also like to hold her baby dolls and bounce them when I am holding Royce and bouncing him. She is so cute, but at time she gets very bossy with me when it comes to taking care of Royce. I think Our Royce will have two moms in this house. Oh on a side note, I am pleased to say Kloey is also potty training and doing very well I might add. She just decided one day that she wanted to wear panties and she so has been wearing them ever since with out any big problems. I am very happy and you know it was not as bad as I thought it would be.

The Boys!!

2008-08-04T22:40:00.000-07:00

Well to day was the first day of school. Braiden was so ready he could not wait to use his lunch box. I think he was getting a bit bored at home. There is not much you can do with a new born and little sister who is two. I must say he has been a big help to me. I will miss that during the day. When he got home today I think I was more happy to see him then he was to see me. I could not wait to hear all about school. Well the only thing I really got out of him was I didn't finish my lunch at school so I finished one the way home. Can I say that is not what I expected to hear about the first day. I wanted to know how he teacher was, what they talked about in class, what new friends he made, and so on. My mother-in- law then called and she got so much more out of him( she has four boys and has learned how to talk to them). The key I found to talking to boys is you have to ask the right questions, for example who do you sit by ,is your teacher young or old, what dose the playground look like, did you read anything. Well over all he had a good first day I think he will like his now school. Oh on a side note Royce is now 10lb 3oz.He dose not wast time growing he is good eater and and his now born diapers did not last long. In fact he grew so fast he still has some left over. This morning we decided they are small because the make marks on his legs.

I have decided to go Private so if you want to email me, or leave me your email address in a comment so I can add you that would be be great!

I almost Ready!!

2008-07-16T15:56:00.000-07:00

I must say this pregnancy has been a long hot one. I have also gotten the most comment on how big I am and if I am having twins. For my sanity I hope it is not twins (I think I would know by now). I say to those people no i am not having twins I just have big babies!! I like them big!! I went and got all the little things I needed and most of Braiden's school supplies. Now I am just waiting for tomorrow when I get my hair done. After that I am ready. I can always find things that need to be done but I guess sometime I will have to stop and say OK now I am ready. I want to thank everyone who came to my little dinner party(Girl's night out out) I had fun and it was just what I needed. So Royce after tomorrow, bring it on!! I can not wait to see you. Braiden said in family prayers last night to have Royce come soon. I know everyone is ready to see him.

Kloey and Elmo

2008-07-11T22:43:00.000-07:00

Yes this is true Kloey loves Elmo. This is one of the funniest things. We went shopping a few months back and Nana got Kloey an Elmo sprinkler. She loves it!! The morning after she got it the first thing she wanted to do was play with it. So eight in the morning she was in her swim suit and playing with Elmo. Braiden at first wanted nothing to do with Kloey and her Elmo sprinkler but Kloey was having so much fun playing with it he could not resit and he was soon in his swim suit have a ton of fun too. He will not admit it but I think he too likes Elmo.

summer fun !!

2008-07-11T22:06:00.000-07:00

Summer has been fun this year!! But I must say it has been the hottest for me. Caring an extra heater has not helped. We have stayed busy and maybe that is why I have not kept this darn thing updated. But here I am now tyring to once again play catch up. We have spent a lot of time in pool, at the library, and have gone to a few museums over the past few months. I have enjoyed having Braiden home , but let just say we both will be glad for school to begin. So I hope you all enjoy the recap summer slide show!!

Our fun Mexico trip

2008-06-18T17:23:00.000-07:00

For our 3rd anniversary we went down to Rocky point. I knew we had to get away while we had the chance. So We did!! We stayed a really nice resort that was right on the beach. I loved it and want to go back again. We said two night and three days. I love the beach. It was nice to not have any distractions and just relax. I am thankful for my husband and I feel so lucky to have found him!

The Swim suit!!!

2008-06-06T16:24:00.000-07:00

The Swimming Suit Drama !!!

My funny little girl loves her swimming suit. When ever she sees it she must wear. She used to be happy wearing over her clothes but now she knows that is not right. We must be very sneaky with it and not letting her see it until it is time to wear it. She has been know to have breaks downs because she can not wear it. The other day she found it and wanted to wear but we were going out to the store(this is a not place to wear it). In the end she ended up bring it but she did not wear it. I have given in a few times and let her wear all day, she even had a play day in it one time. It makes me laugh sometimes but then other times I want to throw it out the door!! Oh well at least it is summer!!

Kloey truned 2!!

2008-05-31T16:20:00.000-07:00

Yes my baby/ big girl is now two. She turn two a couple months ago (April 7) but once again I got busy with life and got behind on posting. We had a swim party for her. She had a lot of fun. She is such a big girl now. She love getting dressed and most of the time doing her hair. I think I might start potting train her soon she loves sitting the potting and it would be nice to have only one in diapers(when Royce comes). kloey is such a happy girl and I love her so much.She has such a sweet spirit!!

The new Toy

2008-05-30T16:18:00.000-07:00

Mark's new toy. Yes he got a motorcycle. I was not to sure of the idea but when his car broke down and it would be more money to fix it than what it is worth , I thought (well mark talked me into it) that would be our best option. It uses less gas than a car and was cheaper that new car. So here he is. Braiden is also in love with the new toy. I have gone for a couple of rides and it is kind of fun. We drove it to the movies the other night. Mark is soo happy to finally have one. Kloey is our safety girl she always makes sure daddy has his helmet and jacket.

2008-04-23T21:44:00.000-07:00

We had some family pictures taken by my sister last month. I am so happy with the way they turned out. We took them at Joe's Farm Grill. I thought they had some really fun spots to take pictures at. The kids did all right. Kloey had a bit of issues with her shoes. You see lately she really wantes to only wear her sandals. She throws a fit every time I try to get her to wear any other pair of shoes. She really is a silly girl. Thank you Lola for taking such great family pictures.

The Easter Pageant. I Know I already posted some Easter pic but I saw theses two and thought they were cute. I guess I am trying to play catch up. We had some cousins come into town from New Mexico. It was fun to see them and have our kids hang out for a bit.

Water!!

OK I am just going to right what is on my mind today. I know it is a first but we will see how this goes. I really find it hard to drink water. I know that I need at least a gallon a day but it is hard to get that much in my body. It always seems when I do get that much water I am always going to bathroom a lot. Maybe that is the point. I do know it helps my body a ton when I do get that much. Also I was telling my mom the other night all the good things that does. So Here I am saying I am going to try really hard to drink my water. So am now saying good bye for now because I have to once again go to the bathroom. Wish me luck on drinking my water!!

Easter

2008-04-09T13:38:00.000-07:00

Well here is out family Easter pic. As you can see Braiden as a black eye and both kids were really not in the mood to do pic. Kloey looked super cute in her new dress and Briaden was his handsome self. The kids had fun that morning dyeing eggs and looking for their Easter baskets. Then after church we went to my in-laws for dinner and for Ryan's birthday. It was a fun day. Oh the night before we went to the pageant. The kids had a blast a Kloey was so cute watching Jesus. She got really sad when he died. Braiden also liked the pageant it helped him understand the story more and when we read it in the scriptures we new what we were talking about. I am thankful to have a savior and be so blessed with a wonderful family! I hope everyone had a wonderful Easter.

Braiden is now 6 ! !

Braiden is now 6 years old. His Birthday was March 3. We started out with a family party on sunday night (before his bday) , he wanted breakfast for dinner. So I made walffes and fruit salad. He had a grand time. He got lots of fun toys, books and a cool shirt. Braiden's favorite things right now right now are Tansformers, Legos, books, and trains. He also loves the colors green. I got one good smile that night.

The next morning we woke up and Mark and I gave him the gift for us. I love he reaction. It was not what I thought it would be.He was a bit of a terd. He kept puting the clothes back in and taking them out to see if he had missed something. I thought it was a bit funny. What he did not knwo if that Mark and I had planed on taking him to Game works that afternoon. I did not let him open the evnelope till we were "on our way to school", once he found out what was going on he changed his mood. Over all he had a fun day.

Braiden and I played the a snow bordering game. We beat Mark and got first place. We were really happy! Braiden and Mark also liked the Star Wars pod game. I thought it was a bit hard. Braiden really liked the boat paddle game too. It was fun to be able to spend time just with Braiden.

Feild Day

Braiden had a a field day at school a couple months ago. I know I am behind on posting so here I am playing catch up. Braiden had a grand time at field day and it was fun to see him do so well. I always liked when my mom came to field so Mark and I went with Braiden. I told Mark going to go to school activities as long I can (as long as it is cool with Braiden). He is getting to be so big.He loves school and he loves running around.

Kloey at the Bike rodeo on Saturday. She tried so hard to ride her bike and keep up! She also loved to cheer Braiden on as he rode his bike.
This is funny story The officer after talking to the kids about safety had left his lights on with out the car running, so when he got ready to go he had to have a jump. Mark and Shawn helped so in return the officer let us sit in his car and check it out. Kloey had to to have her turn. Lets just hope she did not break something!!
Briaden and his classic cheese smile. Unless I make him laugh or get lucky this is how he looks in most pictures.
I got lucky and got him off guard. He had so much fun that day. He says" My bike is the fastest ever, because it is a Rocket bike!!" He had a talk with a friend from school on who had the faster bike and Braiden hands down says his is faster just because it is the Rocket Bike.
The big boys could not miss out on the fun that day either!!

Thank you grandma for the fun invite to the bike rodeo.

We love playing dress up! Kloey had so much fun soping and dressing up she crashed waching Elmo when we got home from the mall one afternoon. We went out with Auntie Lola to the mall. We first shopped for jelwery at Forever 21, then went to Sephora to look for make-up. Kloey loves make-up as you can see she had to put some on. She always puts it on her lips or right above them. She loves bushes(make-up) too. She just loves being a girl. Don't we all!!

Hello Big Red

2008-02-16T20:21:00.000-08:00

No Worries Braiden likes the new car also. This is the new family member,well kind of. It is a 2004 Honda. The favorite thing in it is the TV. Kloey can now have her Elmo on the go. Braiden loves all the sapce and now says Grandma's car is small. He made a comment that he thought Grandma's car had another row of seats. Kloey also loves all the room. Myself I like the doors. I push a button and "boom baby" they open. The only draw back like I all ready said is backing up. I have never been good at and now, well let just say I do more walking (from the paking lot).

Good Bye Orangey
