3 weeks old today!

Sam's first day of 1st grade!

I had way too much anxiety before this day. Will she be scared to get on the bus? How will she know where to go when she gets off the bus? Will she like her teacher? Will she know where to go at the end of the day? Then I had to tell myself it is time to let go. Its time for her to be free and independent. Guess what I worried for no reason she absolutely loved it and didn't have one issue, scare, or complaint. She is spreading her wings and I couldn't be more proud!!!

Brooklyn's first bath!

Weird to think I'm doing this first bath thing for the 3rd and last time and now it is over. We told Sam she wins the award for most screaming during her bath. It may be because a new parents we probably didn't have the water warm enough and she froze! Brooke did great! Her hair was sticking straight out everywhere after we washed it.

Brooke is 2 weeks!

Brooke was 2 weeks old yesterday and still such a sweet baby. So far the only time I've seen her mad is when I change her diaper. I cant believe how much bigger she looks already. She is still such a peanut though. I've had so many sweet friends taking the girls to do fun things while I recover and get back on my feet. All of the gifts and meals I don't even know how to thank everyone enough!!!!!! So much kindness and it has helped me survive the last two weeks :)

Baby Brooklyn Rossi Brown is here!

Sweet baby Brooke came into the world on Friday July 27th at 5:11pm. She was 6lbs 15oz and 20 inches. Absolute perfect in every way. A very easy delivery but a challenging transition at home! Each day is getting easier.

Dad's only baby boy...

My little Golfers

These girls really have a love for golf. Sam bought new golf clubs and gave her old ones to Kate. Zane told them he was going to take them to the driving range an we found Kate in the garage trying with all of her might to pick up her clubs. One of the cuter things I had seen in a while!

Almost time to meet our New family member!

Wow that is one big belly!!!

Summer fun with cousins!

Happy 4th of July!

Photo Shoot!

This is what can happen when you dont watch your kids! My Birthday was last week...Zane and the girls got me sunglasses. We were in the atore exchanging them because they were too big. Im talking to the lady trying on a few pair. Zane was going to keep an eye on the girls but started looking on his phone. Sam asked for my phone I thought she wanted to play a game on it and this was what I found the next day. Keep on mind Kate is wearing a pair of $400+ sunglasses!!!

A little Sunday morning "coffee" hot chocolate and Calliou

Golf Ball Stand

Wow were we proud of Sam! She has been asking us for a while if she could set up a golf ball stand. We always said no because we really didnt think she should be out there bothering the random golfers. When the member guest ( mens invitational) came around we finally agreed.
So she gathered the balls she had found in the yard and set up her stand selling 2 balls for $1. The pro-v's were a dollar a piece. She sat out there all day on Saturday selling away. I took them lunch and drinks. Zane set her up with a bottled water stand which she made some money on. By the end of the tournament I think she made over $75. She decided to take her earnings and buy new golf clubs. The girl really loves golf and it is definitely in her blood.
I wish I would have gotten more pictures!
