The Brower Bunch

Okay, okay, I am a slacker!!! I have been getting asked by so many people where the heck I have been with this thing. It is actually nice to know that people read it. But that just means that I have to work extra hard on actually keeping it up! :) That is okay, I really enjoy having it and I enjoy reading what my other friends are up to. So, I will try to keep this posting brief and let you know what we have been up to since November. We spent Thanksgiving with my family in Ellensburg. It is always fun to have all of us kids together again. We don't get to see Brent very often because he is currently playing baseball for Lewis-Clark State in Idaho, and doing VERY well I might add. And this isn't just a proud sister bragging!!! He really is AMAZING! CANCUN The weekend after Thanksgiving, Jerrod, Kennedi and I took a vacation to Cancun, Mexico! It was so much fun. Kennedi loved the sand and pool, but she didn't enjoy the ocean very much. She also loved the daqueries (virgin o...

I am SO excited to tell you that we are starting our own photography business! This is something that we have been interested in for a while. Jerrod and I have both taken photography classes, but it wasn't until this last year that we decided to actually do something about this little passion of ours, which has ended up growing into a huge passion. We have turned our den completley into a studio. We are excited to watch this business grow, but mostly want to capture those moments that are priceless. My very good friend Shelbi is a photographer and she has taken many photos of Kennedi. Everytime we have received those photos, we are just awed at the moments that she captures. They are beautiful. We want to capture those moments for others. I thank her for her inspiration. We are working on a website now to show our galleries. We will let you know when that is ready. Thanks to all of you for your love and support!

I cannot believe that my baby is 1! It has been an amazing year. One of the best of my life. This past year has flown by. I am so blessed to be Kennedi's mommy. It has been so wonderful to watch her grow. She has changed so much. I was going to show a series of her growing, but I can't find the hard drive that we had to recover all of our old stuff onto. SO, that will come later. But, I will show you pictures from her birthday. Her birthday theme, of course, was Rubber Ducky. There were rubber ducks everywhere! It was crazy! We were able to celebrate her birthday with family and very close friends. My main project was the duck cake, and I ended up being quite pleased with it. It took about 4 hours the night before to bake the cakes and then about 4 hours the next morning to put it all together and ice it. Needless to say, I had a slight anxiety attack when we started to cut into it. haha. But, I did it for Kennedi and that was the best part. Everytime she saw it, she would get...

Jerrod's mom, sister and her boyfriend, were able to be here this year for Halloween because they came to visit for Kennedi's 1st birthday. It was so much fun. I hadn't planned on dressing up, but when we went to the Halloween costume store, we found some really cute witch hats and fun lashes. I wanted to be Elfaba from WICKED, but I ended up being this glamorus witch, and for those of you who have seen WICKED, Elfaba was NOT a glamorus witch, even though Galinda tried her best. It was lots of fun dressing up and taking Kennedi around our neighborhood. She, of course, was a ducky. She looked adorable...well, just see for yourself!

The day before Halloween, we finally found time to go to the pumpkin patch. It was so much fun and the weather was perfect. It made for some great photos.
