Rainey Day's































It was a cool, wet and rainy day so we decided to play with the camera and take some fun pictures, they love to have their pictures taken. Ethan has started to say "cheese." It's so cute. I love my sweet kids!

What's more fun than the Park!















We spent the afternoon as a family playing at Pioneer Park. Emma loves the tire swing. Isaac runs, jumps and climbs, he loves it all. Ethan is obsessed with the slide. He will climb up the stairs and go down then run back around for another turn.

Summer Fun











I took these pictures a few minutes after I got my camera back from Canon in the mail. They fixed it free of charge as it was under warranty! Yea! Isaac and Ethan in the pool staying cool, and looking pretty cool to! In the other photo we have some of Emma's friends that live here in our neighborhood. (Lilly & Taryn)

Been a long time coming...

Sorry I haven't posted in such a long time. My camera wasn't working, so without cute pictures to add it was hard to get motivated to write. Here are a few pictures that have been sitting in my camera waiting for the chance to see the light of day!













As you can tell by looking at Ethan these pictures are a few months old! He has grown so much. These were taken at Agers Play Center, a fun indoor play ground. The kids love going every chance they get. We stay for hours and just play all day!

~ Fun with Grandma ~







While Grandma Aleen was visiting we spent a chilly, yet very fun day at the zoo.

Isaac's favorite part was seeing the Monkeys .







Emma loved the Polar bear that swims around and around the same pattern. It is really entertaining! We could have watched him for hours!










We also spent a full day at the Lincoln Children's Museum. It is awesome, if we may say so our selves! It is three floors pack full of fun! Ton's of hands on activities. Emma loves to dress up and perform on stage. She also enjoys the Dr. Office - it has lot's of babies that need health check up's. They both enjoy the face painting. Isaac loves the water area, the airplane, the gofer hole area with climbing rope and slide. They have a great toddler room, full of every kind of toy you can imagine! Ethan had a blast!!

Trip to Indiana





















Happy St. Patrick's Day! & Happy Birthday Avery!

We had a wonderful time visiting Grandpa Brown! We also were lucky to be able to spend some quality time with my cousin Courtney and her children. (Caleb 11, Liberty 7, Ema 5, Avery 2)

I feel truly blessed for my roots. My grandparents on both sides of my family have had a great influence in my life. I look at the trials they passed through (war, The depression, losing loved ones...Through it all they have stayed strong and faithful.)

We visited with my cousin Kim and her daughter Paige. We saw Karen and her son Derek and his wife Toti and their daughter Alexandria. We drove out to my Dads grave site at Gardens of Memory.

Spring Fever!

Happy 19th Birthday Quentin!! We love you!

Love.
Brent, Celeste, Emma, Isaac, & Ethan


Ok , Ok So I have been getting some flack for not updating our family blog in such a long time. We are getting really excited for SPRING!! To feel the warmth of the sun, to spend hours outdoors, playing at the park, and just enjoying time together! We have planned a family spring break trip we are all looking forward to. We will be picking up Grandma Aleen at the Omaha airport. We will then continue driving on to Indiana to visit Grandpa Max Brown. We are looking forward to introducing Grandpa to Ethan, his great-grandson who he has yet to meet! I am so excited to hear stories of my Dad's youth. Grandpa is an amazing story teller! We are also hoping to make connections with my cousin Courtney Brown Jenkins and her family. Grandma Aleen will then return home with us and spend and extra 4 days with us which will include celebrating Easter and Ethan's 1st Birthday! What a great time!!
