Weekly update (Pumpkins, kyle, bike, etc.)

Week in review:

This past week on Friday we carved pumpkins over at Grandma's house. Kameron would not scoop out the insides. Brianna carved with her own knife for the first time. We did not have normal candles to go in the pumpkins, so we used birhtday candles

A week or so ago Grandpa found Kyle an awesome little Tonka Bike. We took Kyle over to the Church parking lot and he rode it right away, no training wheels! I gave him a little push and he was off, no crashes

Kyle played with his cousin Ethan all day on Thursday a Thomas the train extravaganza.

On Friday, Melanie, Kyle, and Kameron were in a minor fender bender in Shelley, we were thankful everyone was ok-and for once it wasn't Melanie's fault-yeah!!

Melanie and Dave met with some students at BYI to see about expanding business ideas.

Brianna swallowed a tooth, but the tooth fairy still came.

Brianna and Kyle painted a bunch of rocks for their fire pit.

Kyle also helped his dad repair the fence.

Brianna almost roller skated by herself.

Mom got vaccinated for the swine flu-since she is in her third trimester of pregnancy.

Another proud moment

Grandpa gave Brianna a little container that snaps with some jax in it. She asked me to hold it, but I indicated they were her responsibility. Within 10 min she had lost the container and was in tears. "Dad we need to say a prayer to find it" I said a prayer and sure enough she found them shortly and she offered a thank you prayer. It just impressed me so much that she thought about it on her own and she realizes prayer will be an important tool for her now and in the future.

Great conference weekend

Conference was great! I particularly enjoyed Elder Bednar and as always President Monson. I liked Elder Bednar because it was just what I needed. I know our scripture reading, Family home evening, and family prayer is not the most meaningful a lot of times, usually because Kameron is trying to climb on someone's head or whatnot. But we are trying to be consistent and that felt good to hear. I was so proud of our kids they sat through 2 sessions of conference and I have to say they did pretty awesome for little kids. Brianna was even asking a lot of questions on the topics, so it really was a joy.

Proud moment

Brianna had a friend over today and they had been playing in Brianna's room and made quite a mess. Melanie told them they could go play outside after it was clean. Brianna's friend said "Let's tell her it's clean so we can go outside." Brianna said no we can't lie. She stuck firm and they cleaned the room. I was so proud of her.

Browns Life

Well Dave and I decided it was time to start writing a journal. So I will start by telling the ages of our bueatiful children and where we are. Dave is 31, Melanie 29, Brianna 7, Kyle 4, Kameron 1 almost 2, and baby girl in the oven.
Dave is the same great man. Dave has his own law office, he practices bankruptcy, criminal law and family law. It is fun to watch him build a buisness, he has a knack at it. Clients are starting to come back, which does not suprise me. He is such a hard worker and honest with people. Full of intergrity adn so much more. Glad to be his wife.He also is such a great dad and husband. Everynight the kids want to wrestle. On Friday he pulled out the kids mattress's in the living room, so they could have a movie party. This week I especially appreciated his willingness to help serve the kids dinner when and help with them after such a long day at work. We also helped Dennis with his windows on Saturday. Great week
Brianna is such a delightful kid, she is in second grade excelling in reading and very obedient she makes us laugh every day. She is our interior decorater and today she painted her toenails green with orange dots, I suggested white but she said the white would fade out with the green paint. I thought about it and she was right. This week she recieved a sticker on her library card to check out 3 and 4th grade books. She reads to Kyle everynight in bed for a few minutes. She is so patient and kind to all of the kids and such a support for Dave and I.
Kyle had his second week of preschool. He is adjusting but starting to love it. He got to make paperairplanes and thought that was pretty cool. He is also a delightful kid. He is our hugger. He loves to give loves. Mom always uses his help around the house he cleans, cooks brownies and bread and so much more. This week I put up around 30 quarts of Salsa. Kyle played the computer and helped with Kam- Bam. Later he got to play with Ethan while we did Salsa. Those guys are the best of friends. Kyle is very creative in how he plays he loves trains and trucks. he plays with his boats and trailers all the time. He loves balls & hitches on cars and everytime he sees one he points it out. This week he saw a truck with 2 on it. He thought that was cool. He also pulled Kameron around on his bike alot this week. He hooks the wagon to his bike.
Kameron is our little joy. One of Mommy's favorite things to do is to rockabye with her two boys. I get to smell their hair, sing songs and show some of my love to them. Kameron is our dare devil. In fact I took him to a bike saftey class and he was going up and down hills all over. The officer said he is a dare devil. I said yep. Kameron is still trying to get us to nursery. We still have to go because when Kameron gets upset and starts to cry he throws up. Tricky fellar. Dave loves when he puckers up his lips and and blows air out of his nose, that is his pouty face. He is so happy. Dave and I love our family and life very much. Life is good
