Summer - Sunday...Funday!

Sunday, June 27, 2010:


Since we went to mass yesterday afternoon, we didn't have much planned for today! We decided to pack a picnic lunch and headed to the zoo! IT WAS SO HOT! But the boys didn't seem to mind at ALL! Most of the animals were out and were cooling off in the water...even the elephants and that was a treat to see! Baylor, the newest elephant (born in May) is already at a whopping 348 pounds.


Will discovered today that giraffes are in their mommies tummies for 14.5 months! WOW! We ended the evening by the pool with friends to cool off! Things around here do not seem to be slowing down anytime soon and we couldn't be more excited about Simon's arrival! Here are some fun pictures of our Summer, Sunday, Funday!

Our sweet boys cooling off! It reminded me of the Flinstone vitamin commercial!

Big smiles!

Louis is THREE!

Saturday, June 19, 2019 - Louis birthday weekend!

What a great weekend to celebrate our sweet little boy turning three! He had so much fun playing with all of his friends and family. He held his beach themed birthday party at our clubhouse and it couldn't have been more fun! We started the day there around 10am and left around 2pm. I think he will agree that he had a blast!

Louis loves Will to pieces and is always trying to keep up with him - toys, friends, tricks, lego, and his DS. So Louis finally got his own DS...a red one at that! His favortie color! What a great birthday weekend!

Here are a few pictures from the party, our evening stroll after his party and the next morning....his "real" birthday.

WE LOVE YOU LOU-LOU!

Summertime - what would it be without a lot of playing, swimming, day camps, vacations, popscicles, vacation bible school, and celebrating all three (and soon to be four) boys birthday parties.

First up is Louis. His party is this Saturday at our clubhouse! He chose a beach ball theme. Pinata will even be a beach ball! So fun! Here is a picture of the "goodie buckets" for the boys and the girls. It is going to be such a fun party with 26 of his little friends!

Event Agenda for summer : June - Louis; July -Simon and Thomas (30th birthday); August our Anniversary and Will's birthday. Whoa!

Girls and Boys goodie buckets! Can't wait to stuff them! I think they turned out precious. The personalized names just topped it off. Thanks Christa :-)

Citgo Friends!

Thomas is so fortunate to have such amazing people surround him at work! Thank you Citgo Friends!


Dear Citgo Friends,


We wanted to thank you again for taking time to visit with us last week, enjoying a piece of carrot cake and for the very generous gifts.


I took the boys shopping and they each picked out a rolling suitcase. They are precious and much needed with Simon's arrival coming around the corner for grandparent - overnight visits.



They also picked out a few things for Baby Simon. Will picked out 3 bath towels and matching wash clothes. Louis picked out a hippo and giraffe bib and burp cloth set. They are precious and will come in handy when Simon gets here! I know we will have some helpers at bath time.



Here are a few pictures of the boys and how excited they were to get their bags. Thank you again!

Sincerely,

Thomas, Lori, Will, Louis and Simon Brown

Louis and Will both so excited to get their new rolling suitcases!

Simon has one too!

I think they are already planning their first getaway!

It's Summer!
