Ice Skating

I suppose I had better get this posted before spring comes - which I hope will be soon! Our family went ice skating before cousin Morgan's birthday. We all had so much fun!

Big girls

Shane got on skates!

Helping Daddy and Valentine Cupcakes

The construction zone that was our house is finally complete! We went to IKEA (and drove home in a blizzard!) to get bookcases to match our table under the TV. Cameron made sure to help daddy put it together.

I decided that I wanted to try to make some fondant. We rolled it out and put some hearts on our cupcakes. Cameron rolled out his fondant, and promptly ate it!

Alyssa and Madelyn actually helped and made some hearts.

Polish Princesses

We had picture night for dance class last week. The girls were beautiful! I can't believe that this is Madelyn's fifth year of dance. I remember taking her to Zajaczek's first dance recital. She was so excited - she wanted to start THAT DAY!

Alysa was SO anxious to start too. She began when she was just 2! This is her fourth year. What a big girl!

All of the Polish dancing girls!

Love my girls!!

A little snow...

We are all hunkering down for "snowmageddon 2011" expected tonight, but we had fun in the couple of inches we got last weekend!

Valentines and Dress up

Alyssa is always wanting to do "something special" on the weekends. So one snowy Saturday, we went to Joann's for supplies and made a new Valentines Day heart garland. Some felt, ribbon, and LOTS of glitter later....ta da!

In other Brown house news, we recently had a fashion show here. Thanks to Santa and cousin Tracy, Cameron didn't have to dress up like a princess :)

Cameron-isms

I know that age two is supposed to be "terrible", but sometimes it's pretty funny too. Here are some of my favorites from this week:

1) Me (in the car) - "Cameron, could you PLEASE stop being sassy?"

Cam - "No! It's Cameron Shane Brown!"

Me - "OK, Cameron Shane Brown, could you please stop being so sassy"

Cam - (laughing hysterically) - "mom, you're so funny"

2) Trying to get all of his fingers in his glove, Cameron was frustrated and started throwing a fit.

Me - "Cameron, please stop crying about your glove"

Cam - "I'm not crying, I'm whining"

3) This morning, he lost one his pacifiers.

Me - "Where did you have it last? In mommy's room?"

Cam - "I just had it in my hand, and POOF, it was gone"

(we later found said pacifier in his OTHER hand)

That's our Cameron. He makes us crazy and lights up our lives!

I don't really feel that our family is interesting enough to have a blog, but since I am the only sister without one, the Brown's have joined the blogging world for 2011! I hope to add fun photos and words of wisdom from my children. Meet the Browns!
