Washington DC Aquarium

These pics were taken this summer on my older camera. We went to the Washington DC Aquarium which really stinks. We had a good time anyway. Those bomb pops were delicious. Reminded me of my Battle Creek summers with my grandparents.

Alexis the Ballerina

Mommy bought Alexis some new dance clothes for her ballet class. Alexis is very attentive in class and really enjoys it. She has a recital coming up soon. This pic was taken after class.

Playing in the Snow

My nephew (he's really my cousin, but that's a story for another day) Dante is hangin' out with the family. When he's with us we treat him like he's our child. We all went outside to play in the snow. This picture was taken after we had come inside. The wind was so cold it made me feel like I was back in MI!

2008 Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day we spent in Maryland with family. We went to my brother-in-law's house and my wife's cousin's family came as well.

A Day at Weber's Farm

We took Alexis and Joshua to Weber's Farm. We had pumpkin cider, saw some sheep and went on a hay ride.

Alexis Artwork

Artistic expression by Alexis.

July 18, was Daddy's birthday. Mommy bought a cake and Joshua and Alexis helped him blow out the candles. Alexis picked out a card for Daddy all by herself, however Joshua aka 'Tornado' ripped the card before Mommy and Alexis could give it to Daddy.

New Pajamas

Mommy bought Alexis and Joshua new pajamas last week. They both couldn't wait to put them on for bedtime. Alexis has a Bratz t-shirt and the pajamas were the icing on the cake. At this point for Joshua, it doesn't matter what's on the t-shirt...he just likes the fact that it's new! To see more pictures click here: New Pajamas.

America's Best Dance Crew

Alot of dancing goes on in our house. We haven't figured out Joshua or Alexis' moves yet but we're working on it. Look out America's Best Dance Crew, the Browns are coming!

Joshua Get's New Shoes 7/15/08

We ordered Joshua new shoes for school. The package came in the mail and when we put them on his feet he was extremely excited (He likes new shoes). Alexis was upset that nothing came in the mail for her...even though we bought her two new pairs of shoes on Sunday (7/12/08). A little bit of drama!

Our Ballerina 7/10/08

Today our princess started her first dance class. She was sooooo excited. The night before she tried on her dance outfit and paraded around saying she was a ballerina. What a great feeling as a parent.

Mommy picked up Alexis the next day and the dance class was a great success. The class is 4 weeks long, but after her excitement I think we will have to enroll her in another class soon after this one.
