Non-stop sickness

Okay so just when I think Teagan is going to be healthy for a while, here comes more sickness. Took her to the Dr. and she said its just a virus has to run its course but I HATE her being sick. Needless to say I have had less then 3 hours of sleep in like 3 days and I am about to go CRAZY!. Ryan really tries to help but I just feel as her mama its MY responsibility to get her better . Hard for me to accept the fact that I can not do anything but what I am already doing. Yet what I am doing feels like I am torturing her, every time I give Tylenol and Motrin she screams and spits now so she wont swallow. Ends up gagging herself and even vomits sometimes sad I know! Then when I suction out her nose you would think I was murdering her screaming bloody murder. Hurts my heart but as I type it kinda makes me laugh since its ridiculous really. So we are going to beach this week, pretty excited down to Virginia Beach for a night with My mother in-law and then off to Duck for a few days with my father in-law and family. They rented a huge house and I really am going to try to relax however anyone who knows me knows darn well that is not going to happen. I am so uptight about everything and I really do not know how to loosen up. Anyways I am going to try because this week has been really hard on me. Enough about that Dakota is doing GREAT! potty is going well and she is starting to recognize some alphabet letters, which I am very happy about I feel it is a little late but I am just glad it is happening now. She is starting Pre-school in September and I think this is going to be really good for her I feel like she is going to excel in all of the academics taught there. She is a very learns very quickly. I also am excited she will be meeting kids her age that will be going to the same school as she will be  (if we stay here in Virginia). Ry and I still want to move, we are ready to take on the world! My sisters boyfriend Cole got us this webcam so we can skype with the family!!! It was such a great suprise!!!! here is a pic of Ryan and Kota playing with it.


So we will have LOTS of pictures to come when we get back from the beach. Really excited to take some of just my little family!! Fun in the sun I really hope I can get some color on my white butt!!! well hope all is well with all of you we love you and will update soon!!
Love The Brownies!

Young Women here I come!

So this weekend was not very eventful at all but I will give you the run down. Well Friday evening Ryan and his Dad went to a baseball game out of town so my friend Red came over. We ate yummy dinner and had lots of soda and chocolate lol then watched a movie. I really enjoyed girls night Teagan went to bed regular schedule and I let Kota stay up late with us girls. Lauren did Kotas hair it was so cute!!. The Saturday we did nothing really I think I got a two hour nap in and cleaned the house. Sunday comes and we just hung out then went to church. Where I got my new calling!!!!! yeayy I'm so excited I get to be secretary in Young Women's which I'm not sure what that all in-tales me to do but I'm so happy I get to be with the young women and I adore the YW president one of my FAVORITE girls Shelly Huber!!! So after that we went over to David and Maries and had a birthday dinner for Gram!! WE LOVE/ADORE her. Ate yummy food and enjoyed some family time with everyone. I love when we go over and Kota's cousin Kylie is over they are the same age and it is too cute to watch how they interact with one another. All in all it was a good weekend not too crazy like normal but good. Now as I am typing Ryan is trying to fix the van since a few months ago Dakota decided to put some change in the cd player. Since then we have had no radio while driving which has actually been great for us as a family I have really enjoyed talking with Ryan on our trips. Well Teagan is asleep now and I am ready to get out of my church clothes and clean house again. I will be watching 4 kids at my house in addition to my two this whole next week so with me LUCK!!!!!

Slow start to July

Hey everyone! So July started great with the fourth of July , however since then has been slow and for those of you who know us slow is not our style! We tried to have a yard sale on Saturday and it was a complete epic failure! It was about 110 degrees and I am not exaggerating. We had things up from about 7 am to 1030 and by then we could not take the heat anymore. We did not have too many people stop by but those who did just did not like our stuff. So Sad I know right! So I still have all the crap in the shed. We are going to try to sell again in a week or so. Sunday was Church and that was GREAT as usual and just what I needed . It really does recharge you for the week to come. I love feeling so filled of spirit and life when I leave. Oh I completely for got to tell you guys about Dakota's first dentist appointment. It was July 6th and it was fantastic, she did such a great job she loved her dentist and so did we. Her dentist acted like she had all this princess stuff . She explained to Dakota her gloves were princess gloves and let her feel how soft they were. Her mask was to catch her sneezes so she did not sneeze on her. Her toothpaste was yummy sparkle princess toothpaste. She was amazing with her and Dakota let her do everything to her except the suction which I understand that is still scary for me :) Back to Sunday after church we went swimming at moms house. Monday nothing Tuesday nothing Wednesday Nothing Thursday nothing. Friday today Ryan and his dad are going out of town for the evening to watch a baseball game we gave him the tickets for fathers-day. So I'm having a girlfriend over for dinner My lovely Lauren aka RED I love her so much and just miss hanging out with her!!! So we are going to catch up. Saturday is the Tomato fest. so We are going there with a girlfriend and her kids too!!! you can catch that on you-tube Sunday!! Then Sunday church again!!! OH ALSO Saturday Ryan and I start a new diet/fast so check that out too we will be tracking our weight loss so tune in!!!!! See what we look like now and watch the weight fall off also we would love to hear comments or questions so please feel free to do all that on our you tube channel  http://www.youtube.com/user/brown5505/videos
Love you all!

okay man where do I start.. We have been busy and not busy but really seems like life never slows down!! WE had a great 4th of July. Had a playdate with out good friend Sally went swimming in mimi pool and went to a bbq at out friend Merica's it was a clam 4th and relaxing. Now Teagan is teething it has been so crazy at our house Teagan is screaming and nothing makes her happy, Kota is just my crazy 3 year old with tons of energy!! and I am pulling my hair out hahahahah. No but really Teagan has 2 teeth that have broken through and Dakota is also 100% potty trained I LOVE it. It makes life so much easier. Other then that just been going to church having lots of our little family time which we love and trying to relax and get away from the heat. It has been in the 100's plus humidity it is terrible.  We get to go on our family vacation end of July and I am so excited about it just to get out of Richmond will be Fantastic! But even though vacations are suppose to be relaxing when you have kids its not really but I am going to make the most out of it! pool and beach should be a blast! Teagan absolutely loves the water she splashes like crazy and puts her head in the water then chokes lol. Dakota is also doing amazing in the pool she now only wears water wings. Yet she still does not like getting her face wet. I am working on that with her. So for the most part life has been hectic but good as well. I guess it is what you should expect with kids :) Anyways I am so excited to get to watch my friends kids while she goes out of town for a week they are soo sweet and Dakota will love having them around. Colby is 5 i think and Savannah is 1 and my kids will have a blast with them! Oh I didnt even mention we are having a yard sale and getting rid of all the crap we dont need! I hope it goes well because I need more space. Somehow  just accumulate junk ;) Anyways now that I have just rambled away Every one have a great weekend !!!
