I'm still here!

So I could start this blog entry just like all of the others, excuse after excuse after excuse. But I won't, nope, I won't. Instead, I'm going to fess up to feeling like I have more important things to do. Not to trash those of you how actually do keep up with these things *cough* Jess, rather, just to admit that I am just not THAT organized with

my time. So yeah, bear with me in my time of chaos. So in the last 2 years that I have attempted but failed to blog... I had a BABY!! Her name is Chole, she is perfect and she is mine.. all mine! I could take the time to write about her but what is the point when my sister has already so beautifully done it for me, you can read all about it right here.

So I'm just going to start out fresh by starting with today's events. Here is what the kids and I did while the babes was asleep. It's called Oobleck. 2 cups cornstarch 1 cup water.... enjoy:)

I love to play catch up! pt 2

So things have actually been going really well in the Casa de Brown lately!

David got the job at the National Guard that we were shooting for! He is gone a lot but actually making a descent income. He is so excited to have a job that he actually enjoys! I think he is most excited about the corner office they gave him, makes him feel special! Haha! I have yet to take any pictures of it so those are still to come. Other than that, he spends his spare time trying to get this house done to sell so we can move YAY!! What a hard worker and awesome Daddy and husband he is, I think I'll keep him! ;)

Josalynn,

Well, she is all drama. She loves to talk and talk and talk! She is so excited to turn 3 this coming April. We are going to get her sized for a violin on Monday because she will be starting the Suzuki method right when she turns 3. I hope I can be everything she needs to enjoy it. She loves music and loves to dance! She is so sweet and loves to cuddle and rub my head and back. I am so spoiled with her!

Daniel,

What a good little boy he is. He has his moments but for the most part he is so chill and relaxed about almost everything! He will be turning 2 in May. We tried the whole potty training thing but I guess he is just not ready yet. Oh well! He loves to play outside and just be a rough, messy little boy!

As for me, I'm busy. I have been teaching a boot camp at the Y along with my aerobics class. I love it and it keeps me moving! I'm also taking 6 credit hours at OTC right now. I'm keeping good grades but getting kinda tired of school already. I'm pretty excited for summer break. David will be gone for the whole summer because of his Military training :(. So I'm planning on heading to FL to spend some good quality sister time with Jess! I've been called as the Personal Progress leader in our YW program in the Ava ward. I love the girls, and I really enjoy my calling. Other than that, life is just peachy.

I love to play catch up! pt 1

So like I've said several times in the past! I am a horrible blogger! To tell you the truth, I really didn't feel so bad about it until my sister Jessica made some very valid points as to why I should blog more. So Jess, here I am blogging instead of homeworking!

Ok well Lets see Christmas was wonderful! We all got to celebrate with my sister and her cute family. I was able to meet my new niece Arabella in the NICU. I wish I could have spent more time with her! Such a beautiful little angel! Josy and Daniel got to play with their cousins which was so awesome to see. Christmas day we went to Hollywood beach and played in the water. I'm so jealous of my sister being so close to the beach!

I loved being there with my family and being able to spend time with my sister. She is such a great girl and so strong! I definitely admire her for being such a wonderful mommy!

David, Rich, and my brother Rudy seemed like they didn't even miss a step being together! They spent their time gaming, watching movies, climbing palm trees for coconuts, and watching the kids when we could stop them! Boys will be boys! Haha!

Probably one of the best Holidays spent with family eating posole and alligator!

He climbed a 20ft tree for these babies and they were so yummy!

Best kids in the world!

Almost there!!

So we started the project not to long ago and we are so close to being finished I can taste it! haha! I am so happy with how this floor has turned out, also it has made our house WAY more beautiful! Here is our progress.




Wood flooring is down!
Stain on and glossed!

New Entertainment center built right into the wall. I could'nt figure out how to flip this picture, sorry.
Also, I got some new couches and for a GREAT deal! Next step is sheet rock, paint, and texture! WOOOWHOO!

Family Pictures

Just a few of my faves from our family pictures. These were done by jdesign studios! I love them!!

Home renovations and more!

So as usual life is and has always been just a little bit hectic! David is in the middle of working on a small addition to the house. We extended the living room and are about to put the wood flooring down. One heck of a job with 2 kids!
School has picked up, to say the least! I swear I have a test every week!
David is working on getting a full time job at the armoury which means WAY better pay, and better hours! Anywho, here are some pictures of the addition under construction and a video of my silly kids!
Tearing the wall down!





New view from the living room. Hard wood floors soon to come!

Major Update

So yeah it has been a while. I'll admit, I do feel a little bit bad. I've been busy busy busy so that is my excuse! hahaha!
So I'll just start from where I can remember. Josy turned 2 in April and is talking a ton! I can have a full on conversation with this girl, just ask my sister Jessica. Also, as of recently she is 100% potty trained! She is so proud and loves her Dora panties. I am just happy we only have to buy one set of diapers now!! YAY!



David commissioned as an officer back in May! He is now a second Lieutenant in the National Guard! I'm so proud him! Lately he has been running all over the place working on the house, working, fixing cars, and getting set up for school! Yup, that's right more school! He is working on getting accepted into the PA program at MSU now, so we still have about 3 more years of school!



Daniel has been walking for about 4 months now! In fact he runs everywhere! He has been saying a few words like Mama, Daddy, Pappa, Tantu (thank you), and his own nicknames for other members of the family. He is such a stud and such a wonderful baby. He loves to eat veggies and sleep... what more could I ask for? Also, he just turned 1 in May.

Last but not least, me! I just got enrolled in school again. I will be going to OTC working on finishing my Associate degree in education. Yup, I want to be a Spanish teacher. We will see how that goes! I've finally met my wieght goal and lost 14 lbs! My new goal is to loose another 10 lbs and I will be where I was in High School! Other than that, life has been absolutly amazing and fun!
