Celebrations

Wednesday, May 11, 2011

We have had so much celebrating to do and we are just getting started! This weekend is a break for us and then we start celebrating again with friends all over Texas and Louisiana. So I wanted to catch up before I have too much on my camera :-) So here are a few pics from the past 2 weeks!

Jonesboro, AR - Brandon and Leanne - official Master's degrees! Yay! We welcomed the newest and finest Nurse Anesthetist to our family! (Hope I spelled that right!) We celebrated in downtown Memphis that night with a nice dinner at Majestic and took a trolley ride - AKA...according to Louis...we rode the Tamale...yep we live in Texas! :-) Very proud of them both for their accomplishments! We are said goodbye as they begin their new jobs in Virginia! Good Luck Uncle Brandon and Ms. Leanne!

Leanne and Brandon right afterwards :-)

Emily Hebert's Wedding on April 30, 2011. Congratulations Mrs. Logan! Me, Erin, Jennifer, Kaela (and her handsome boys) and Rachel! You are next Ms. White!

Last morning of iBloom - my friend and mentor mom Karen!

Blackberry picking!

YUM!

Brown Updates

April 20, 2011

Thomas and I on our way to the Citgo MDA charity cocktail party and dinner. We have gone every year since moving to Katy. But this time I wasn't expecting so I got to get dolled up and have some fun. I am such a luck lady to have Thomas! So handsome and such a great role model for our three boys! We has so much fun, raised some money for summer camp!

Jan Carl (from Entertainment Tonight)

ARF! First grade musical! Will and Mrs. Huntington and Louis had to take one too :-)

Simon enjoying the musical! So now he is about 21 pounds and loves to wave "bye bye"! He does that for hello and goodbye. Such a cutie!

My new blinged out Scout mom shirt. New items are now listed on my shop....lots more to come :-) www.etsy.com/shop/thebrownbobbin

Scout Fair at Reliant Stadium. All I can say is WOW! I have never been and it was a sea of scouting uniforms. And many different colors that I came home to research....navy, yellow, kahki, green shirts...all mean something different. We all had fun going from booth to booth and seeing what each pack had to offer.

Louis - sorry about the blurry picture. Pop Pop emailed it to me when we were at the dinner. The boys got a hoot out of trying on Uncle Andrew's bunnery costume. Doesn't it remind you of A Christmas Story! RALPHIE!

The Brown Boys

Sunday Funday!

Sunday, April 3, 2011 Today was very adventurous and definitely worthy of taking note! We had the usual Sunday breakfast - pancakes, went to mass and came straight home to put on our "play" cloths. On the agenda: play out, shoot the BB gun for the very first time and take the boys to look at RV campers! We did it ALL and even though the camper store was closed, the accessory shop was open! The boys got a hoot out of all of the porta potties there and tried everything out in the store! Here are a few pictures!

Me and my Will and Louis! Simon napped the entire time that we were shooting! Shooting a BB gun for the first time is a big deal to me and they are super excited! We took the boys to the country to shoot...well sort of! Haha! We went behind our neighborhood clubhouse!

My boys picked this wildflower for me and insisted that I wear it in my hair. They are so sweet!

Proud Will!

Louis waiting his turn! Yes, that's hair gel! They decided to get "spikie" haircuts!

Louis - Rocking and Rollin (it wasn't loaded here :-)

Louis and Thomas - he was so serious!

Watch dad do it first!

Sweet Simon before mass! He is getting so big! Simon is almost 9 months and 20 pounds! He is crawling everywhere and pulls up on everything. The boys love to "help" him walk around! Such a happy baby!

Trying to get my camera!

Big Blue!

Louis - Colorado Rockies - KPB Spring 2011

In the Swing of Spring

Tuesday, March 29, 2011 We are enjoying the time change! It is so nice to get home from school, homework, sports, cce and still have time to play outside :-) Here is what we have been up to these days!

Mrs. Turner and Will at the after school play date and snow cone and popcorn party. This play date is one of the items we bid on and won at the Camp Woodcreek Auction. And by the way, my ceramic plate looks fabulous! We love you Mrs. Turner!

Will Brown - Spring Season - Katy Pony Ball - Shetland 6 - Detroit Tigers! My very handsome ball player...perfect baseball bottom too :-) Louis is playing too! However he had to miss his first game because he had an allergic reaction to "everything" outside. He is much better and once I snap a picture of my little rockie I will post it!

This past weekend was Sportsfest for Katy Pony Baseball. This is one of the donation baskets I put together! It was a Ladies Pampering Basket! And one of Will and Louis' teammates mother (Kelli Hale) makes her own product line of makeups - bath salts! Check her out at http://www.freshsugarrox.com/ We combined together and made a great ladies basket! My new business card holder! I am very proud :-) Thank you Mr. Pat! Also....keep checking my clothing blog and etsy shop.....many many new listings coming! I am really excited...did I mention I have uber talented friends!?!

Spring is here!

Saturday March 12, 2011

Hello everyone! Those of you wondering why I haven't posted in a while, sorry! We have been having alot of fun and I have been swamped with "The Brown Bobbin" orders. But I am just about caught up! I just love designed all of these precious little girl aprons, outfits, etc. Even the boys! I can whip up a birthday gift for a party in no time! And lately....it's been birthday party central! Average 2-3 a week! We love our friends!

Once I get the pictures and videos downloaded from Will's camera. I will post Camp Woodcreek pictures. It was a blast!

Feeling truly blessed and loving every minute of having four amazing men in my life! Here are a few pictures to catch you up ;-)

2011 - Pinewood Derby Races

Scout Buddies - George, Will and Louis

Waiting for it to begin!

All of the derbies.

Will (Lightning Speedster) and Thomas (Silver Bullet) both entered the contest.

Will placed first three times and second twice in the six heats.

Scoreboard

I love my cubbie!

Silver bullet wins. Thomas won all six of his heats so I am not sure why he didn't place. But oh well!

It's Rodeo time here again in Houston. Most of you know how much I LOVE this season! Any excuse to wear boots and turquoise jewelry! We never get pictures but here is a picture before a concert! We had a great time! LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy! He spoils me alot...even when I least except it and maybe even when I don't deserve it! LOL! You know being the only lady in the house definitely has its advantages :-)

Spring baseball is in full swing! Louis is playing for the Colorado Rockies!

Will is playing for the Detroit Tigers!

Blue/Gold Banquet! Will was presented his tiger cub whiskers and badge. Thank you Thomas for being such a great mentor for our Den 2 (and George). Great memories. Yes, I know Simon doesn't have an undershirt on...he pooped and we had to take it off during the banquet...yep, never a dull moment! But we did end up getting a picture of all of us! Thanks Nicole!

Official whiskers!

The Basket :-)

This is the donation basket for WCE school auction. I will be featured in the catalog and write ups. Well worth all the work and time to benefit our school and community! Let the bidding begin!

A lady here in Katy ordered 25 of these monogrammed initial button from me for a party and so I decided to make these Will's class valentines day goodies. I think they turned out great. It was so much fun to see how proud Will was of me and the fact that I made this for his friends. When I went to drop of the basket yesterday, I saw that several of them had them on and some told me that they put on their backpacks because their momma didn't want to make a whole in a shirt. I just love those kiddos and their "truths" :-)

Cute right?
