family of four!

we had family pictures taken this summer...these are just a few of the best ones! :) thanks Savannah Rust for doing such a great job and dealing with my crazy kiddos!! :)

we are alive and life is good!

just a quick note to say that we are all doing well! life is extremely busy these days...noah is about to turn 2 (we'll be having a toy story birthday party on the 30th), jonah is almost 3 months and growing like a weed! a very cute little weed! we just brought our puppy otis home after a year of living with jamie's parents and sister (thanks aunt jj for taking such good care of our baby boy!) jamie has been working hard putting up the rest of the fence and is about to start building our patio furniture! i'm not sure what to think of this, so for now i'm being supportive! i'm praying that it turns out well and doesn't take more than a few weeks to complete! :) we'll see... i'm working 3 full days and seeing patients on my own occasionally 2 days a week now, just became a mary kay beauty consultant (visit www.marykay.com/kacee_brown to order or just browse the awesome products!!) and a few weekends ago i was elected to be "president elect" (basically vice president) of the arkansas state dental hygiene association!! i am so honored that the association thought i was ready for this! i have always wanted to be in leadership but i never dreamed i would be there this soon in my career (i've only been practicing hygiene for about 2 1/2 years!) obviously this is a huge deal to me and i'm so excited!!! i really need to start thinking about themes for my presidency next year! :) that's so cool!!

jonah's first time at church

this past sunday we took jonah to church for the first time! we got a picture right before we went in, just like we did the first time we took noah to church! gary introduced jonah and the congregation just clapped and clapped :) pretty sure they think he's a keeper!

our church is so special to us - jamie's grandpa, milton (who noah is named after), was the founding pastor and now jamie's dad, gary, is our pastor. my parents and sisters actually attended church there for a little while, back when i was in highschool, but i only visited with them once...isn't it crazy how i could have met jamie way back then, but never did?!...that could be an entirely other post! i started going to Victory Temple when jamie and i were dating and it is the church we were married in nearly 5 years ago - July 23, 2005 (yep, our anniversary is this FRIDAY!!!!!). i love having a close church family - somewhere where everyone truly feels welcome and accepted. the church LOVES noah and jonah so much...they are so blessed to have such a large "extended" family :)
