Christmas 2007

This year.....

Last year.....

Boe's Photography

We gave Braedyn his very own Crayola Digital Camera for his Birthday. This was the first picture he took. Not too bad for a 3 year old.

Ginger Bread Houses

One of the "Brown" Family Traditions is building ginger bread houses each Christmas seaon. Its a lot of fun! It isnt just family. Its family AND friends! The houses are built ahead of time. Then everyone is broken up into teams and givin 45min to an hour. Once time is up a neighbor or friend comes over and judges our masterpieces. Here are some pictures of the finished houses.

Brandyn, Kevyn, Jim & Janet

Cindy, Megyn, Jennifer

Ted, Daina, JJ

ELFED!

Since everyone else is doing it, figured it was only right that we follow suit......

Happy Holidays!

Took the boys to Palmer Park today in hopes of getting them both in the same picture for a Christmas card. Here are a few.

Waiting...

The morning of Prestyn's party we were trying to straighten up the house. Braedyn seemed to be destroying faster than we could keep up so we called Gramma to the rescue. He waited patiently on the front porch for Gramma to come pick him up and spend the morning with him.

Halloween

The boy's and I on Halloween.

I have been super busy lately. Hopefully things will calm down soon and I will get some more pictures posted.

Prestyn's 1st Birthday!!!

Opening Presents
Great-Grandma's Bag was HUGE!
Once he realized there was fun stuff inside,

he was more into opening the presents.

The cake
The mess!
He has such a fun time making a mess with that cake!

Prestyn's 1st Birthday!!!

Prestyn is 1 year old!!!

BathTime!

The only successful way to give Prestyn a bath is in the kitchen sink. Hopefully he outgrows his "fear of being in the bathtub with his wild brother Braedyn" phase before he outgrows the sink!

Our Flag

This is a picture I took at the Rockies Game one night. I learned a new technique on photoshop so I tried it out with this picture. Its a black and white photo with the strips colored red. I'm sure you will be seeing more like this until I find something else equally at fun!

more snow...

a few more from our little snow storm this past sunday.

First Snow!

This morning we woke up to a sweet little voice yelling from his bedroom... "Mommy! Daddy! Its SNOWING!!!" I don't think we have ever jumped out of bed that fast, but it had to be true because its not something Braedyn would make up, so we had to see for sure.

Sure enough...there was snow!

These are two pictures from our Keystone trip we took a few months ago

more Halloween!

Prestyn finally cooperated long enough to take some pictures in his costume. He is a turtle!

Did I mention that he has been walking across rooms now if the bribe is good enough! Yay Prestyn!

ROCKTOBER

Snow!

Just like I said. Summer weather is just about over. We got much cooler temperatures and Pikes Peak even got a nice white blanket of snow.
