6 Month Old On The Move.

Riley is keeping us busy. We fully expected this though-we guessed that she would be crawling in her sixth month and sure enough, she turned six months on October 22nd. So, yes, we are busy, but having a good time anyway.

Good-Bye Cat.

Or maybe I should say good riddance. Which isn't very nice of me, really. Yesterday we sent Lizzy over to Indian Valley with Anthony and Marissa to catch mice on Marissa's folks' place. We, or maybe more I, have been extremely irritated with this cat for a very long time now. Both cats are no longer house cats and haven't been for some time (below was an old picture). Nevertheless, Lizzy manages to urinate on whatever she can in the garage/barn and sometimes vehicles if left open. It was getting to be AWFUL. Disgusting. You name it. I hope that I am not grossing you all out, but you have to understand that there was good, very good, reason for getting rid of her. Now I am going to commence a full cleaning on the garage and will be blissfully happy when it is finished.

The sad thing is that we, or I, used to really like her (Byron still does). It was ironic logging on to blogger because our password has to do with this cat. *Sigh*
For those of you hoping to see pictures of kiddos, I will do my best to get you some asap.

Oh, The Irony.

I have had an item on my to-do list for quite some time. That item was to get digital pictures printed of photos taken since before Owen's First Birthday! This to-do item has been on my list since then and the amount of pictures has grown and grown. I was having problems uploading pictures to Costco's website so I just kept putting it off. Finally the uploader worked for me and I spent several hours (off an on) uploading all our pictures. I finally got them printed last week and the number totaled 530 pictures. All at once the price seemed expensive: 530 pictures at 13 cents a picture cost us 68.90. The next week we got our Costco coupons in the mail and lo and behold what coupon do I see?! Aggravating! Made me laugh though...

Sorry for the sideways picture, I couldn't fix it and didn't spend too much time to try and figure it out.

Thanks Missy ;)

My friend, Missy (and Jason too), bought Riley this cute little dress. Don't the too-big-for-her-baby-legs-tights crack you up? She is quickly working on filling them out by getting fatter-yeah for fat babies!
Jayci and Izzy came for a visit at the beginning of June and we took them on a little "farm" tour to the neighbors to see their chickens, turkeys, and pigs. I cannot believe how big our kids are already. AND, I cannot believe that I am a mom of a two-year-old and so is Jayci! We are still supposed to be in college!

Life Lately.

Well, how about a post, eh?

My car is officially not a BMW anymore. We bought a Honda Pilot and sold the sporty beamer... We couldn't fit two car seats and two adults comfortably in the BMW and we found a good deal on a Pilot through craigslist. So this is one of the pictures we posted on craigslist to sell the BMW. We were sad to see the car go since it was such a good car. But, we know that Honda's can be good cars too.
We have been sick for a few days now--something in the flu category (achy, nauseous). So our family is laying low for a bit. Here are some recent pictures of the kiddos. Luckily, Riley takes a bottle so her mommy can get away for longer than two hours. Oh, and... Owen peed on the potty twice in the last two days. We thought we would just try it and as soon as we sat him on the potty he peed and thought it was fun stuff. Yikes!

And His Name Shall Be...

ZACHARY RYAN BROWN.

New Arrival.

Baby BOY Brown arrived this morning at 8:13 am (his name is yet to be decided). He weighed in at 9 lbs. 1 oz. 22 inches long and is as handsome as ever. Mommy and Daddy are tired, but all three are doing well. What a little blessing. Our cups runneth over.
