Brown Family Reunion

Chandler and I at the table... Chandler liked the bubble gun that
Precious brought...

The reunion was at Tyler State Park...The big thing to do there is to swim in
the lake.. which Cole loved it! He jumped off the dock a few times

Cole, Chandler, and Libby eating.. Cole tried the fish which
was a surprise!

More Sleep over pics

I forgot to add these pics on my last post.. We were really worried about the two Cole's talking at
bed time and having to be separated... We gave Anna Kate the option of sleeping anywhere
she chose...she picked Chandler's room. Cole and Cole went right to sleep, while Chandler
and Anna Kate chatted for almost 2 hours.. After Chris going in their twice.. we had to separate
them! Can u believe that? My two year old already acting like a school girl.. We are in big trouble

5 kids in our future?

Chandler, Cole, Cole, Anna Kate, and Davis eating popcorn and
watching a movie....

Davis made himself right at home at our house and went into the
kids rooms to get some toys to play with while the other kidw were
playing the Wii.. He is such an easy going little guy!

Mr. Chris/Daddy giving a lesson on how to play the Wii...

The next morning Chris got donuts for all the kiddos.. They ate the whole dozen!

We had the privledge of keeping our good friends, Marty and Stephanie's, 3 children
overnight while they went out for their 10 year anniv. Cole and Chandler had the best
time! Chris and I were so impressed at how well mannered and good natured
Anna Kate, Cole and Davis were.... all of them such sweet spirited, and beautiful
children.. I told Steph that I am sending my childeren to their house for a week
of lessons!!

More Cousin Fun!

all the kiddos in the bath.. Sadie was a little overwealmed and stood up,
so Cole and Chandler followed the lead...

Chandler and Uncle Erik....

Auntie Jen, Cole and and Sadie

Cousins

Sadie and Chandler ... 2 beautiful girls in their matching shirts....

Cole is so crazy about Sadie... and vice versa...

Sadie kept grabbing Cole by the shirt, then they kissed each other on the lips. Erik, Jen and Sadie stayed the night with us (visiting from Cali) We had a lot of fun, but the kids just loved being around each other! We wished they lived closer, so we could do this more often!

Happy Father's day

Me and my dad.....

GiGi and G-Pa by the pool with Cole and Chandler....

We had a busy Father's day weekend, with going yesterday to lunch to celebrate father's day w/ PaPa...Then, today, we went to church for two hours, met my parents for a quick lunch.. then out to Burleson to see GiGi and G-PA.. where we went swimming, rode the paddle boat and mule, then grilled steaks and ate outside. We're all pretty tired, but enjoyed our time. And to Cole and Chandler's daddy and my gorgeous husband.. we are so thankful for you and all you do for us. Especially, allowing me to stay home with our amazing children and for being such an example and leader of our family.. We love you!

Riley's 3rd B-day

Chandler and Riley... they love each other, but act like sisters...

Cole and Chandler enjoying cupcakes together...

They are so sweet when they get along....

Girl's Night Out... WOO HOO!

I went out a few nights ago for a MUCH NEEDED girls night out... We went to see "Sex in The City"- Scandelous:)) , then out for dessert. It really just made me feel old b/c I got home at 12:30 and was soooo exhausted! The movie had some pretty crazy scenes, but overall it was one of the most entertaining and fun movies I have been to in a while!! I am all about fun evenings out, when I get the chance!

Australia

Standing on The Blue Mountains

Chris petting a Koala... My new favorite animal..
they are as soft and cuddly as they look!

On the beach.. Sydney

Our breakfast with the kangaroos...

Cairns- Great Barrier Reef

Chris and I with the waterfall behind us.. It was an unbelievable
picturesque back drop...

On the boat ride to the great barrier reef where C and Dallas
scuba dived and everybody else snorkeled. The coral and fish were amazing!

A pic of Cairns... Cairns reminded Chris and I a lot
of Hawaii with the beautiful ocean and green mountains..
I liked every place we went for diff. reasons, but Cairns was
most like the places I dream of going b/c I am CRAZY about tropical!

Outside of the spa we stayed out.. Our "hotel" room had a dining area and family area. I'll upload more
pics from Dallas's camera when he gets back...

Ayer's Rock

Chris and I on our sunset camel ride through the desert..

In front of the "big rock"

Beautiful sunset...

D mounting his camel... Our second part of the trip we went to Ayers Rock.. which is the true "outback" of Australia. We stayed at a really pretty resort and had champagne while we watched the sunset, then feasted outside on a buffet of kargaroo, crockodile, barrumundi (Australian fish)- and other yummies... it was a unique and amazing experience. The most fun part was sitting at the table with other people from different parts of the world.
