Weekend of LOVE =)!

Good grief!!! Where have I been?? I will tell you - up to my you know what in shower planning!!! It was another crazy one here at the Browns!! I threw Tara her big Couples Shower here Saturday night!! With the help from all of the fab women in my family, I think it was a huge success!! You can go to Tara's blog and see all of the details, but I wanted to post some pics of the kiddos all dressed up for the party =)...and of course some funnies!!

The lovely couple!!Big O - Owen loves him some cupcakes! I made them that afternoon and he was underneath me the ENTIRE time yelling "CUCAKE CUCAKE"! Well, while I was in the bathroom getting ready...and Daddy was supposed to be watching, Owen took it upon himself to serve himself one...OR 4!!!! Travis (The Perry's came and stayed with us) walked into the dining room and freaked out! Owen had icing all over his face and cupcakes everywhere =)!!

How cute is this shirt??!! I think this one is my new favorite =)!
Claire - She was such a big helper!! You can't really see, but she has some FABULOUS tall black furry boots on =)!!Claire and Emma!Owen and Sterling - We had 50 people here and these two are in the middle of every...WRESTLING!! Only at my house =)...also there were 5 dogs running around and kept on sneaking back in every time anyone went outside to sit at the fire pit!! =) Once Cooper just happened to be in the kitchen as I was filling one of the glass pitchers with Sangria from my stash in the fridge...well the big pitcher's lid I was pouring from gave and Sangria kind of went everywhere!! Cooper was stained dark red in places!! We got it cleaned up fast and I at that point, just laughed it off =)!Jess, Me, Erin and Brooke!Travis, Erin and Emma (and future Baby Perry!!!!!!)Little Sis Nicole and Neil!Me and Tara!Claire and JaceClaire signing the picture =)
Our happy and crazy family!!In the infamous words of Tara "Do something funny"!!It was a great time...but it is nice to have that behind us and now start focusing on the WEDDING...which me and Mom are doing!!! About a month away!!!!

Now to some funny Claire quotes from the weekend:
Sunday morning, getting ready for church - I am dressing Claire...

Claire - (pointing to her naked little chest) - "Mama, this is where my heart is, and that is where Jesus goes!"
Mama - (little tear in my eye) "You are right, sweet girl"
Claire - (pointing to her wet head from the shower) "And this is where my brain is...I wish I could see my brain, I know it is big as I am REALLY SMART"

This morning - Claire is not feeling real well (bad cold). I left Owen in the living room with "Imagination Movers" as I was getting dressed for the day. Claire was in bed. As I was getting ready I hear Owen saying "GA GONE GA GONE". I walk in to get him more juice and I see that Claire is up and is wrapped in a blanket, eyes little slits, not the best of expressions on her face...

Owen : "CAH, GA GONE" (translation "Claire, all gone!)
Claire: "Do I look like your mother?"

Today was family observation day at Dance, so tomorrow I should have a cute post of pictures of Claire in action =)...and of course this week's tutu shot! She is not feeling real well, but she was a trooper this morning! Owen loved it....

Hope you had a great weekend!! It has been so crazy around here and I am soooo excited that me and Shane are getting away this weekend with a group of other couples to a condo in Branson!! No kids, just adults!!! We have not had any time away in FOREVER, so we are soooo excited!! I was apprehensive at first as we have been so busy lately and have tons to do, but I am so glad he convinced me that we NEEDED to go!!

Happy MONDAY!!!
