So, one Sunday afternoon I got home from the gym and came upstairs and saw Mark all armed up and I couldn't resist the temptation to take pictures. Afterall, this is a very common scene in the Brown household. He later ran around the house playing war with the boys. It was quiet entertianing.

Gardner Canyon Oct 2009

This is a mine shaft that we discovered on our hike. It was really neat, we saw the tracks that the carts would ride, the boys were fascinated. And of course Dad wants to go back and actually go in it and explore....me, I not such a huge fan of that. You never know what will come crawling out of those mines. Dad also had the boys try MRE's. Lets just say that they prefer McDonalds over MRE's. But, at least they go to experience it.

Mt Lemon 9/27/09

About a month ago, Mark took us all up to Mt. Lemon to hike around and get out of the warm weather down here in Tucson. It was a nice
trip and Jasmine even got to come along! Here's a few pictures I took :)

I took the boys to see Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs this past Sunday. It was a cute movie, they enjoyed it. In the mall there is a sports shop w/ huge baseball bats at the entrance. Both boys wanted a picture of them "holding" the bat. So, here they are!

These are from Halloween Express 10/17/09

Here are some pictures from a recent Wal-Mart trip with the boys. Ethan had gotten a gift card for his birthday (that he shared with Aaron) and wanted to spend the money, so I took them. Of course we HAD to stop by and look at the Halloween stuff.




























Ethan thought these huge pumpkins were the coolest!

Coolest Kids Ever!!

Mark finally was able to get his 4 wheeler fixed, so one Sunday afternoon we took it out for a ride. The boys had alot of fun driving, though Ethan is not a huge fan of going very fast.

9/18/09 Ethan's 8!!

Friday morning we celebrated Ethan's birthday. He was so excited for his birthday this year and sad that I was going to Colorado and wouldn't be able to celebrate with him, so I stayed up baked a cake and decorated the house so when he woke up on his birthday we could celebrate before I left. He got the Nintendo DS he had been wanting for months, he was happy!

Golf N Sutff

Aaron and Ethan were invited to their friend Tyler's birthday party on Sept 6th. It was at Golf 'N' Stuff, which is a place you can minature golf, go carts, laser tag and lots of arcade games. For the record, I kicked all their behinds in laser tag, ha ha. They had alot of fun! these are some pictures I took from the night.

Weighing in...

Aaron's weight 9/9/09

Ethan's weight 9/9/09

One day I had taken just Ethan with me to the gym and weighed him, I think it was 61 lbs. Well, he had been bragging to Aaron about his weight and of course Aaron doesn't believe him. So, to prove it we weighed them together and I took a picture as proof that Ethan is nearly as heavy as his older brother....he's so proud.

Meditating?

sometime last week when we were at the gym, I looked up and Aaron was doing this. I think he was trying to balance on the block, but I'm not sure. I thought it was hilarious.
