Happenings of Late

Yes, I still belong to the blogging world...you were worried, weren't you? So, a lot's been going on the last couple of months, so we'll just hit some of the major points.

In April, Jer and I took a quick few days trip to Williamsburg. It was a lot of fun to get away for a few days without Misha. We love her, but the break was nice.:) We had lunch outside one of the days (it was DELICIOUS).




And the blacksmith we saw later was pretty cool too.



Misha turned two in May! She's getting so big, and much more loquacios. I love it! I can't wait to have real conversations with her.

She got a lion pillow from us, that we only have video of, and I don't feel like posting a full out video. But she got a baby doll stroller from her other, better mom.:)



She finally got some cake (okay, she did have some here, but we don't have any pictures of it either, and it was little last minute...) in UT with my family (and some again with Jer's as well, but again, no pictures...I'm all of the sudden not feeling like I'm doing my job as a mom....)




We had a great time in UT for a couple of weeks (other than my bout with the swine flu the first four days we were there...) Here were two of Misha's favorite activities.




She's watching Dora by the way....and that's my grandpa who spent a majority of the time we were there, in bed not feeling well either. Surprisingly he never complained about Misha sitting in there with him watching Dora....

And now for the second-here she is with her all time favorite thing to do while we were there, and that's having my grandma push her in that swing. She couldn't get enough of it, and didn't really like it if anyone else was pushing her.:) I LOVE that she loves my grandma so much.



We went to a wedding-my best buddy Jeff finally tied the knot. Though, again-with the no pictures, the ceremony was beautiful, the bride ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS, and of course, the groom handsome as ever. Congrats Jeff and Shasta!

The last full weekend of our trip was spent entirely with Jer's family. We had a blast staying with his sister KJ and her husband Rich, and their kids Jacqueline, Madeline, Charley, and Ryan. The girls were so cute with Misha, and we had such a good time hanging out with them. Here are all the Brown cousins together. Thankfully we got to see Angie, Marcus, and their kids, Ethan, Aubrey, Jason, and Jacob from Wyoming.

So, from left to right back row then front row we have Madeline, Ethan (with Aubrey standing in front of him), Ryan, Charley, Jacqueline (holding MaKayla), then Misha, Sophie, Jacob and Jason (though possibly not in that order, but I can't tell them apart...it doesn't help they're in the same outfits all the time, Ang!), and finally MaKenzie. WE MISS YOU ALL!!!

Now we're back and right back into the full swing of work and everything else. It was a wonderful trip, and we miss everyone there with an indescribable intensity.

We hope everyone out there is doing well! We are looking forward to spending the fourth of July with my mom on the beach in Nags Head, NC! We leave Wednesday, so I'll try to post some pictures the week after. We're so stoked!
