Happy Birthday Peyton!

Happy 3rd Birthday to my sweet Peyton. As I am writing this, Peyton is on her 3rd day of antibiotics for pneumonia! How's that for a birthday present. Wait for it.............that was 5 days after she had been diagnosed with bronchitis, a sinus infection, and pink eye. Laugh if you must, I did. What else could I do? In all fairness she did share. All three kids had bronchitis and sinus infections at the same time, but just the girls kept the pink eye to themselves. AWESOME! Pity party is complete, now for the fun that happened prior to the germ infestation. Peyton's birthday party! 

Poor baby the day she was diagnosed with pneumonia.  Temp of 104.6 here.........

One of her favorite gifts!

Happy New Year

We had a great end to 2012. Most of the day was spent at Seaworld where the girls had a most spectacular time. It started off by thanking Santa for all the wonderful presents. We then had the chance to meet up with a friend and play with her beluga whales. Peyton was a little shy, but Grace had no problem with the kissing, feeding and petting of these amazing creatures. We swung by the fire station for a little time with Daddy and then it was back home for some good old fashion New Years fun. Happy New Year everyone! 

It's been awhile.....

 Since my last posting many months ago, a lot of things have happened. Dalton being born and Murphy having major surgery were the most notable. Now that Dalton can manage without Mommy for a few moments during the day, I will be able to update the blog a little more often. I promise! Dalton has been a wonderful addition to the Brown team. His easy going attitude really gives Mommy a break from his crazy sisters. If they could only be as sweet to each other as they are to him....... The link below will take you to the video of Grace's recital. It is just a dress rehearsal, but you will giggle just as much as if you were watching the actual show. She is the dancer farthest to the right.

Fall Fun

Peyton taking a break after the Thanksgiving feast.

Every evening we have a dance party or a wrestling/pillow match with the girls. These are a few photos of what occurs.

Grace with her teacher at her Thanksgiving recital. I wish I had more photos to share but it was nearly impossible to keep track of Peyton and take decent photos of this event!

We took the girls to Oma's Pumpkin Patch to pick out their pumpkins this year. It is a giant diary farm in Lakeside that has tons of activities for the kids as well as pumkins. Grace just got done sledding down the giant cotton hill.

Climbing the giant cotton sledding hill. Peyton gave it a try but wasn't too happy about it!

Peytons favorite part of the pumkpin patch! It was love at first sight.

The girls dressed up and ready to rumble

April Fun

We went to Zoomars with Barbara and the boys and everyone had a great time. It is a giant petting zoo/wonderland for young kids. I can't really pick Grace's favorite part because she loved it all. The boys choose cowboy hats at the enterance but Grace decided a train conductor's hat was more her style.

An ice cream break before the ride home!

Baby goat love!

Peyton was impressed to see something with a bigger potbelly than herself!

Another noteworthy event was when Daddy brought the firetruck to Grace's school. The kids were so excited to see the firetruck arrive with lights flashing and sirens going. She really enjoyed sharing Daddy with her classmates and felt extra special.

Firefighter Brown and his girl!
