Happy Halloween!

What a fun Halloween we had! We couldn't have asked for better weather. We had a fun time trick or treating and at the Greenville Fall Carnival. Here are the costumes!

My scary mummy

My cute candy corn witch

My sweet Tootsie Roll

and my MAD scientist husband!




Here are all the Brown grandkids at Grandma and Papa's before we started trick or treating!




I decided not to dress up this year. For pictures of last year's fun costumes (us as a super hero family!) click here.

Slimey worms (jello)

Pumpkin guts (squash)

Skeleton bones (ham and potatoes)

Brain (Cauliflower)

mmm....

Hello, Fall

It's a good thing the colors of Fall are so beautiful and make great pictures because it is REALLY hard for me to say goodbye to summer. I took this picture 3 years ago on a beautiful fall day. It's one of my favorite pictures. I used sei's October sketch challenge to create it, along with sei's great Homestead line.

Sometimes I struggle with titles, but I really like how this one turned out.

Those faces are so sweet!

Crazy Hair Day

Crazy Hair Day for Red Ribbon Week at school. Addie reminds me of a Who from Who-ville.

SEI Link Party

To create this scrapbook page, I used sei's sketch challenge from April. The picture they used reminded me of a picture I took of Tayson. I love his chubby cheeks, long lashes, and sweet smile.

Happy Birthday, Tayson!

Tayson is one year old! We had a fun family birthday party. I made him a balloon cake out of cupcakes. Happy Birthday to our sweet Tayson!

He really got into his cake!

Off to school!

Addie started kindergarten! Kyler started third grade! Addie was excited to ride the bus with her big brother and already LOVES her kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Peterson. Kyler also likes his teacher Mrs. Campbell, and was happy to see his friends again.

I think it will be a great year!

Kyler's Baptism Day

Congrats to Kyler who was baptized a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints! He was baptized Aug 6th. Kyler, we are proud of your decision to be baptized. We are so pleased with the choices you've made in your life. It was a wonderful day!

Baby Tayson

I made this scrapbook page of Tayson about how easy going he is. He is such a good baby! I used sei's Kris Kringle line. I love the colors and patterns and, as you can see, you can use it for more than just Christmas.

Ah, the lazy days of summer...

I love summer. So do my kids. Addie knows how to do it.

July Birthdays!

Kyler is 8 years old! He loves sports, playing the Wii at grandma and papa's house, and riding his bike. He will be baptized on August 6th!

Addie is 5 years old! She loves her pajamas, stuffed animals, and making and giving gifts. She will start kindergarten this year!

I love you both!

He's a cute one.

Tayson is nine months old! Isn't that smile the sweetest?

Thanks, Jake, for taking this great picture.

Funny kids

I love this picture of Kyler and Addie from our family pictures taken last fall. Love Kyler's face and the way Addie is standing.

Scrapbook page

I used the sketch challenge from seilifestyle.blogspot.com to create this scrapbook page. I really liked the layout because sometimes I get stuck doing pages with just straight lines. I liked the circles. I love sei's blog and scrapbooking products!

Happy Easter!

Tayson is 4 months old!

My babe is so, so sweet.

Our kids think we're old.

Kyler was watching the Alvin and the Chipmunk animated series on DVD. I said, "I loved watching this when I was a kid. Kyler asked, "Was it in black and white?"

No, Kyler.

Another funny: The kids were watching a cartoon and the mom on the show went back to work. I asked, "What if I went back to work?" Kyler said, "Dad and I would eat doughnuts all day!"

Hmmm, maybe...

Welcome, 2011!

Happy New Year!!
