New Family Member

Here is our latest member of the Brown Family. And yes it is another boy. He came to us at 6 weeks and is now almost 11 weeks old. he is only supposed to Weight in at 6-8 lbs full grown. He is a Malti-poo Named Joey. Why Joey because that was a name of a puppy Denise had when she was little and didn't get to see him grow up.

Thomas & Abby's 6th Birthday

We had a great day on June 6th. We got worried it might rain, but it turned out to be a nice day. They had a great party we ate Hawaiian Haystacks and Hot dogs for the kids who didn't want the good stuff. Lots of Fresh fruit. The kids got to swim and then have cake. We enjoyed company of great friends, who couldn't have asked for more. I made Thomas a scuba guy cake, chocolate of course. we had a pinata and the kids just loved it.

Schools out and I am sooo Glad! Everyone made the grade and is moving up.

I can't believe Stephen will be in High School at Clovis West next year. He is getting ready for seminary and 9th grade. He is excited to be in 3 honors classes and has made Chamber Choir. But his first adventure is going to Philmont in New Mexico with his Crew. They leave on June 23rd and will be gone 14 days. This year is a new experience for me to have my boy gone for that long.

David moves up to Junior High at Kastner. He made drum line playing the Bass Drum. It is bigger than he is. He has it this summer to get used to carrying it. Wow, does he have his work cut out for him. He has also signed up for zero period because he is taking Choir also.

Matthew moves on to 4th grade and I would be surprised if he will not be asked to take the gate test next year. He is great in math and if he isn't learning it he just has us make up problems so he can learn it. I don't know if he will do any sports next year it will be interesting to see. I am sure he will take choir like his other brothers.

Thomas will be in 1st and all day. He can't wait. He loves school and will definitely will miss Mrs. Hamilton. He is quite the swimmer and is looking forward to swimming all summer.

I however will be taking a vacation with Jen in our ward. We are driving to North Dakota where she spends her summers. We are going the long way and going through Salt Lake and see some other sites I have never seen. I will also be taking my first Airplane flight ever home. I will miss my boys & Mark but this is a trip I can't pass up. New experiences and a little R&R.
