Saturday night fun!!

Saturday night we all stayed in for dinner.
Playing dominoes, eating, and a little TV.
Well, Desiree decided that she wanted her hair done,
with ALL the clips she found in Nana's drawer.
So here she is in all her pretty clips!
Trust me there are like 8 more in the back.

While Jacob was telling Desi how beautiful she looked with all her clips, she some how thought that Jacob would look great in some too! Then, miraculously convinced him to put them on. Since he has no hair, she improvised! Ears and chin hair!

These photos were so cute & funny, I just couldn't resist!

Baby Kora at 1 Week.

1 week old!
Brandon & Chelsie brought Miss Kora over Tuesday night.
Already smiling for momma, too!
All dressed in her cute girly clothes, she is wide awake and alert!
The new parents are enjoying every waking moment.
And as we all know, there are quite a few of those!
Love ya, guys!

Baby Kora Lisa!

BABY KORA HAS ARRIVED!
Brandon & Chelsie were blessed with a beautiful
baby girl at 7 pm on Monday.

Brandon has become our extended brother, and fits into the
family quite nicely.
Daddy, Brandon, and his new baby girl!
Can you tell, he is just now realizing what he has got himself into.

Proud Mom, Chelsie, and her angel.

Kora Lisa, after Brandon's mother, Lisa.

Fitting... since Kora looks just like Brandon.

Even Uncle Matt got to hold her...

Awe... What a beautiful family they make.

Congratulations guys!

Memorial Day and First Trip to the Farm...5/06

Off to the farm we go...
Our little piece of Heaven.
~Where reality floats away, and you start to dream of a new one~
Really, it is all about the fishin'.

The kids begged Pappy to go,

and how could Pappy turn down a fishing trip?

Luke and Zoe just love chasing the lures...we haven't hooked one yet!

While everyone is out fishing or riding the four wheeler, I enjoy

taking photos of anything that I could get to stand still

... including the kids!

Dylan was my best shot, I can't take all the credit

...I tricked him into it.

Desiree, well as you can see, is just easy as pie. She immediately pops into pose.

Cute smile too!!

Below are just a few of the things that I found interesting around the farm.




The END!
Happy Memorial Day!

Back in time!

Woo Hoo! Finally, I am back on real time now.
Amongst going thru all this re-posting, Papa Champ had gone thru
his umteen-million slides and put them all on disc so we could all see.
I have had a blast this week going thru them and finding my favorites.
For those who haven't been able to see these, you'll get a kick out of it.

Mom... My favorite.
Funny to go thru these and see yourself in you parents.
Katie and I used to do this pose for mom all the time.

I love this wedding photo. Janis & JC and Grandma & Grandpa Brown.
Funny, I always thought nana was so pretty and elegant,
but after looking thru these photos, Nana's H-O-T!!
This photo looks like a bathing suit ad to me.
Dad taking his turn on the skiis.

Mom and her bell bottoms!!

Oh my... and mom tells me these were her favorite glasses.
She thought she was soooo Cool!
