i used to have a brain...

now, i have twins.

(they are dang cute & fun though,

so i'll call it a good trade!)

drink twice as much DDP, of course!

we love our twinners!

15 years ago
(and a few days),

i had the AMAZING opportunity to be a part of

this Cross Country National Championship team!

it will always be one of the best days of my life.

love those girls and my couch!

11.24.97

you can read the story about the race here
(yes, i fell...)

i LOVED running at that time in my life...

but, you know...

i think i love running more and more as time goes on.

i would so love to be able

to run that fast for just one day again!!!...

but, i sure did LOVE my 4 not-so-fast miles this morning!

brothers & friends

All for one and one for all
My brother and my friend
What fun we have

it's beginning to look a lot like christmas...

today,

beck and adrian went to pick out our tree.

good job boys!

a live tree just makes a home feel so cozy.

the babes discovering the tree...

then tonight,

we headed up to SLC to see the lights on Temple Square.

my mac attack!

the family.

our thanksgiving day

i woke up early and met a few friends to go on a long-ish run

and then adrian went to cross fit.

the boys enjoyed some chocolate donuts

while watching the Macy's Parade...

although, it didn't last that long,

after a few minutes beck told me that

"the babes want to watch Dora momma".

 then, we headed to the zoo

for the Feast with the Beast.

it was cool.

the elephant pumpkin smash.

a polar bear eating a huge pumpkin.

3 cousins.

Beck, Elijah & McKay

it was a fun day!

 later that evening,

we headed over the Brown's 

for Thanksgiving dinner.

i had everyone make the "thankful banner" on the top.

it was cute & fun.

Beck also made the "happy thanksgiving!" banner.

no black friday shopping for us...

we were all in bed by 10PM.

thankful for things big & small

this thanksgiving, 

the browns are thankful for

lots of things.

some big & important things and 

some small & seemingly insignificant things.

regardless of the "importance", they all bring us happiness 

and we like to be happy.

in no particular order,

we are thankful for...

prayers & gas

beck's prayer from the other night:

"protect me from the mice, the moose & the guinea pig"

the other day i said that my stomach hurt...

beck asked "why?"

and i said "oh i just have some gas"

and beck says in a very concerned voice 

"momma we aren't apposed to eat gas.... it is yucky... it's only for the cars"

i am pretty darn sure that

my beckley boy

is the funniest boy in the world.

it's beginning to look like christmas...

i decided since beck is my little artist lately

and because we will have 3 boys 2 and under this year,

that we would make the ornaments for our christmas tree this year.

we started making some tonight for FHE...

beck loved it.

and, since we will be in hawaii on christmas,

we decided we would count down to when we leave for Hawaii!

in 25 days we will be on our to have a mele kalikimaka!
