Well overdo!

Well it has been a world wind of a few months. The saying "Life comes at your fast" is an understatement to say the least. A rollercoaster we are on and we have yet to be able to get off. Today is about updating in the form of rambling. So hopefully you are able to get some info from the out of order goulash I am about to write. :)

Well exciting things happening as of late, Miller is about to be 4 months and I cant believe it, Callie and Mason have started eating ground beef all due to our wonderful Canadian neighbors who gave us their fresh angus ground beef when they left and I can believe the difference in the meat I will NEVER buy the store meat again unless it is grass or corn fed and Angus only! YUM! , Jack is in his last month of kindergarten (is that not insane! yes it is!), we are contemplating our next move as Jesse job security in Arizona has gone away so we have lots to pray about.

So there a little minor update I will try to get time to add a few pics but I am being called in a few different directions at the moment. Motherhood calls.

God Bless.

The QC Browns

From 2006 to 2009

If you take this sweet baby and change her into a blue outfit you would see her brother Miller. I have created the same baby twice in 2006 and again in 2009. Don't ask me how I did it, it still amazes me everytime I set eyes on my new boy but all I can say is Jesse and I make some gorgeous babies and I can't wait to see how Callie's 3 years later twin looks when he gets older. :)

Finally getting around to annoucing the arrival of Miller Jay!!

Miller was born 4 weeks early on December 30, 2009. I had an amnio done on the 29th to see if his lungs were mature since I had been having so much kidney stone trouble, the next day the hospital called and said I was supposed to be there getting induced! But everyone failed to mention it to me! lol So I packed everything up and threw the kids in the car and we headed for the hospital. Miller was born after an uneventful labor at 5:31 PM weighing 6lbs 3oz. He is nursing like a champ and has already gained 2lbs since birth!! He will be 3 weeks tomorrow. Time is flying way to fast! :(

NOT me Monday!

Well I follow an incredible blog called MckMama and every Monday she has a Not me Monday where we lovely mommies can confess what we did NOT do this week. :) Today my Not me Monday is about my aversion to leaning over the bathtub. So in the last few weeks baths have become something I dread as this basketball sized lump under my shirt becomes more pronounced and my back becomes more achey giving baths has become a not so nightly thing anymore. So no way am I the mother who slapped baby lotion all over her squirmy toddler so he would smell delicious and oh so fresh without giving him a bath, No Not Me! I would never do something so appalling just for my own comfort, and I would never ask my 5 year old to wash his little brother in the shower so I could sit and read the last few pages of my book while sitting in the bathroom listening to the scrubbing yet not participating in it. These are the things that any good Mother would certainly not do! So for my NOT me Monday for sure I did not do either of them several times this week! :) Everyone knows I am perfect, right? :)

Just some older pictures so show off my babies!

A little update on us!

The picture is of Mason at around 10 months old. I love the pic but I surely was going to kill my husband when I saw him do this! :)


Well I am now 34 weeks pregnant! Woohoo! It is getting so exciting to think I am going to have a new little baby in a few short weeks. :) Miller weighed in at 5lbs 2oz at my 33 week ultrasound so he is growing wonderfully! I have lots of fluid (21) and his head is in the 93 percentile! :) So no tiny peanut this time! With Christmas coming soon we are enjoying every minute of this wonderful weather and holiday spirit around our neighborhood. The kids are loving playing outside in the backyard and the fresh air is so wonderful for them they could stay out there for hours and I get to curl up to a good book on the couch with the breeze from out back coming in while the kids play, there is nothing better! This is the last week of school for Jesse and Jackson and then they each have 2 weeks off! Which will be grand! We are going to be spending Christmas in Phoenix this year staying with Jesses parents and switching over to my parents for sometime too. It will be a little vacation for the kids since we only live an hour from the grandparents they never get to have Christmas away from our own home this year we are going to write Santa a letter to let him know we will be at Grandma Salsa's so he doesn't pass us up :)

Oh sibling love!

I love Callie's face in this picture it is a little of you better stay right here because mom is taking a picture and about 10% the gritting the teeth I love you sooo much face! lol Mason boogers and all just wanted to get away from his sisters deathly grip but at least I got the cute snapshot before he escaped! :)
