Snap shots


 Ok so Snap Shot Saturday isn't really working for me, I refuse to give up though. 
 Sold my old broken phone this week to pay for my new one. 
 Great Grandma Sent CHOCOLATE ADVENT CALANDERS 



Noah Loves feeding baby Atticus 


Maggie's Favorite "game" on my phone is the color game aka snapchat


Noah is sporting his fav hat of the day



Daniels new basketball shoes. (Thanks grandma and grandpa Wilson)

Daniel rocked in his first basketball game. He hustles and isn't afraid to fight for the ball. 
Brothers playing with our busy bags.
This goofball brings so much happiness to our family. That thing he is doing with his binky is a new trick and it drives me crazy for some reason. He is always coloring on something with markers most of the time himself. He also insisted on wearing the dog backpack all afternoon. 


just me and my bestie

We are counting down the days until we are reunited with our family and friends back in Utah. Hopefully the weather will cooperate with us. 
See you all in a little over a week!!!

Sunday Snap Shots

See I've already missed a snap shot Saturday. Good thing Sunday also starts with an S. We celebrated Thanksgiving in true Brown style with everyone being sick. We had made arrangements with some ward friends to have a huge feast, but all the kids came down with RSV and Noah had a double ear infection so it was a no go. It ended up being a nice relaxing day very low key and dinner turned out great. We also got to spend Friday afternoon at the park which was amazing. 
I feel so blessed that we have been so well taken care of and that despite being so far from home we have our ward family. I am so Thankful for the gospel and the knowledge that comes from it. I am thankful for my family and my Savior who made it possible for me to be with them forever. Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving.  

The Dr office we spent 2 hours at


David and I went to a reception that had a photo booth and we had way too much fun!

Saturday snap shots

I'd like to post pictures of our week on Saturdays so that I stay consistent with my blogging. For those that have Instagram this may be a repeat but for those that don't it'll be fresh and new.
 We have great friends here in NOLA that keep us busy 

 Daniel LOVES to play any and all games. 



These chairs were horrible but now I love them!
They make our kitchen so much better. 
After much debate between the 5C or 5S I am happy I chose the 5C.
 Love me some pink!


After I cut his hair on Sunday D decided to 'fix' it Monday after school. I laughed so hard. We ended up having to buzz it all off and his bangs are still shorter. 

 Noah is the messy food king at our house. 

 Daniel and I got to support Daddy at his first play for school. 
aFun date night with my little man.


Daniel got Student of the Month for his class.
 I'm so proud of him for all his hard work. 
And our post wouldn't be complete without a little crazy.
