AZ ... keep going from Disney to see Spence and Fam.

After Disney Land we keep on going to Arizona to visit with Spencer, Katie and Lance. We all stayed in their Apt. and had as much of a blast as you can with 4 kids 3 and under(well Sophie and Lindi Turning 4). We saw Spencer's Band, Global Sounds, perform at a Regional Night for his School (Thunderbird international Business School) They were incredible Spencer sounded as good as ever and shines when he performs . He loves to perform and be on stage. He is doing so awesome at school and will be done in Aug. and then who knows where they will head.Katie is the cutest mom. I love to see her be Spencer's biggest Cheerleader!! she always talks so positive about people and constantly strives to be a better person. I wish I could have her zest for life. It is so fun to see how she loves being a mom and how Lance is the Joy of her life.
Lance is Spencer and Katie's Little angle, he is 9 mts and truly a stud. He is incredibly content and happy! It is fun to see because he watches his energetic parents and sooner or later will be just like them.
Sunday Night I had all the Family come to a BBQ- Ben, Becca, Quentin and MaryEllen, Spencer and Katie with all the Kids. It was nice to just sit an enjoy the AZ sun.


This is Allie (6mts) Lance (9mts) and Cole (9mts) all Happy as can be just hanging with the cousins. These are Allies pals...at least I hope they can be close over the years to come.
Monday we played with Amber my roommate and best friend from SUU and her two kids at the pool she is so incredible and busy as every she truly can handle so much at all times she is a full time mom, teaches preschool, swim lessons and so much more. She is always moving a million miles a minuet. I love her so much and wish we could have at least carried on more than a 4 minuet conversation when we were together. ( it is just to hard with 9 kids at the Pool)
I also went to the pool with Trinna Peterson- she is also incredible with two little twin boys (almost 2 years old) that keep her moving, being the Bishops wife and surviving as Nate wraps up Tax season, and Constant Church responsibilities. She truly is someone who emulates Christ and has a constant desire to follow him I always want to be a better person when I am around her.


These Girls are my little angels they are truly best friend, they are so good at watching out for each other, playing and giggling.

Disney Land

For Lindi and Sophie's 4th Birthday we (My mom, Emily and I) took the 4 kids to the happiest place on earth....Disney Land!
The Girls ware their princess dresses and it was so fun as they too felt they were like Belle, Cinderella, and Sleeping Beauty. They were even asked by two different people to take a picture with them. Emily saved us on the trip because we needed an adult to sit with each kid on all the rides. We didn't even get in the park tell 1:00 and left at 10:00pm with 4 sleeping exhausted kids. Our walk back to the car was quite the sight with Allie and Lindi asleep in the stroller, Sophie asleep sitting up on top of the stroller and Trey asleep in my arms with an hour walk back to the car since we couldn't take the shuttle.


This picture looks wrong because no one was around but it was an incredibly busy day. We waited in a ton of lines Lindi and Sophie like the roller coaster in toon town the very best we went 2x. They were even in the very front ...their faces were priceless as they were filed with fear then looked around and saw everyone else and quickly changed to incredibly excited.
Trey was such a trooper, no nap and we stood in lots of lines and he was always so happy. He loved the Buzz lightyear and Car rides the best. He seemed scared with lots of rides as well but just sat close and didn't budge. He didn't get to close to the Cartoon Characters as you can see with Mickey.
The Allienater was also our little Princess. She is truly a perfect little angle. Every time you look at her she gives you a big smileOh and PS . Since I haven't blogged in a while Lindi did cut her hair all by her self. She decided that She wanted to go to Sophie's one morning and I said she couldn't tell the next day because I was going to get my haircut and Mimi was watching her that she could go tomorrow. we with in 10 min. she found the haircutting sizers and cut her hair. I only had to fix about 4 cuts to even it out other than that she did it all her self. She cut bangs two days latter as well . It has taken some getting use to I miss the long hair.

Pick a Favorite...

I have a wall with a picture of Lindi in her Blessing Dress, Me in my wedding Dress and now it is time to have Allie Join the wall... Please let me know which one is the best. Thanks
(Also I can crop so just look at her. ...cast your vote)

Kiddy Kandids by ME

The other day I decided to take some Pictures of my Kids Mainly Allie and here are some of my Favorites. I Set up a sheet and took over 200 pictures. It sure saves Money this way vs $4 a sheet at a studio. I do think that my kids are darling.

Brown Family Christmas Picture

This is Lorin with his 2 Bro. and 2 Siters and their Families along with his Mom and Tom. Lorin's Mom had us take these Family Pictures over Christmas. I think they turned out okay I don't have the digital copy yet so these are just scanned it. It was a hard to get all the kids, in the group shot, to just look forward.

I can't send these to Abi But I added them Because Pictures are my Favorite this to share.

My update...Letter to Abi

Okay so I decided I stink at blogging so I wrote my sister Abi a letter of an update and decided just to share it so you all know what i have been up to.

Abi-
So I have been a slacker with writing you. I feel like my days all blend together and I never have enough time for anything. Ever since the Lord directed us in building a furniture web sight I have been up late hours and spend any extra time working on adding product or getting out name out there. This week I decided to have a sale out in front of our house, the weather has been so nice and I thought it would be a good marketing tool...well it wasn't I got tons of furniture...bunk bed, 5 coffee table sets, two beds, 3 tables...ya tons and didn't sale a dang thing. the day was cold and windy, none of my signs stayed up and most people just wanted to pay like $50 for stuff. Our furniture is cheep but not for free. We have over 1000 products now from 5 different wholesale furniture places.
The website look amazing because of Lorin. , very professional I can't believe he as done it all. I no you aren't supost to look but if you want or have permission it is

http://fivestarsource.com

I don't want you breaking any mission rules...Obedience is better than looking. But we have had the site up about 3-4 weeks and have made 2 sales totally with out doing a dang thing. Just walk up one morning and saw we made a sale to someone in New York and one in Texas. It is pretty cool if we can just keep finding ways for people to find us on the internet and through the Lords help we will be able to support our family.

so here is the run down of the kids
Lindi--- Loves to have Emily do her hair. Is doing so well with her little preschool we had it at our house this week and she is so smart Her little mind puts things together so well. I took my 3 kids and Sophi to the Zoo and it was a huge Hit I went with another Mom with triplets and a newborn so we looked crazy with our 8 kids all 3 and under.

Trey-- is into David and Goliath right now and want to watch or act it out all the time. it is pretty cute to pretend he has a sling in his hand and to through his rock and see who ever he hit fall down, as if they were Goliath. also to see him fall down is so cute. He is so picky about what he watches it is amazing to see how he loves the scripture movies. He is 100% Daddy's boy. He also is talking so much more. He learned "Hello" Saturday ...this is his newest word. It is crazy to think he will be two in two weeks.

Allie is so strong she is only 7% for her weight but rolls and will stand up or sit up with a little support. It is a good thing she is so strong since her siblings play with her all the time. She ate Cereal last night for the first time and I hope it helps her sleep through the night.

I have been busy with preschool, Faith in God, Cleaning up a friends house, Furniture Business...it is my job to do the books and wow I have a ton to learn. Also I started up a park play day for our ward and had 15 moms there this last week. You would also be proud of me I opened my mouth and shared the gospel, or at least tried the family is coming for dinner this week. We'll see what comes of it.

Lorin is a gimp right now he hurt his foot playing basketball. He now has two new foreign exchange students in his seminary class so that make it so he teaches 3 non members every morning and it is Awesome. Building this furniture web sight has been a real payday for him. As he is still building Video Seminar Live but as it takes time to build we will be able to have some income and some small victories along the way.

It is incredible to look back over the past few weeks and see the tender mercies of the Lord. I have such a stronger Testimony of the power of prayer. How when we are specific and want something if we just ask he is so willing to give. Abi you are so inspiring, I look forward to reading your letters each week. It helps bring me back to the basics of Why I'm here on Earth and what really matters in life. We pray for you every day. If we forget Lindi reminds us and we have to say another quick prayer. I love you so much and now it is 10:00pm and I have got to get to bed.

Thanks for your example and testimony - Love Kelli
