busy, busy

this week has been busy. not the fun kind of busy either. 

i'm the ward camp director and girls camp is next week. eek! very excited and also very glad that it will be over soon too :) 

so i've been busy busy busy getting girls certified this week, paperwork completed for last minute add-ons, packed, devotionals ready, arranging rides, etc... all those things that should have already been done, but gets left till the last minute for one reason or another. 

we've also been trying to give the ol' homestead a good wipe down because the day after i get back from camp, mi familia is coming!!! everyone but rikki will be staying at our house over the weekend before we head north for a big browne family reunion in Rogers. 

The kids have been doing extra chores for the past two weeks to earn some spending money while we are visiting florida the first two weeks of august. 

did i mention we've got a busy few weeks coming up?!

whew!

we are SO EXCITED! 

but i'm also SO EXHAUSTED! 

because we are...

... SO PREGNANT!

this little brower bundle is coming around thanksgiving and we couldn't be happier. the kids wanted to wait to find out what it is, and so did i, so thats what we are doing. it was a little strange not finding out at the ultrasound on monday, and i'll admit, it could have been so easy to sneak a peek and just not tell, but i didn't. it's going to be so fun to find out when the babe is born! jack and ellie are sure its a girl while charlie is positive he's having a baby brother (he's also positive the baby is in HIS tummy). either way, all three kids are extremely happy. and chris and i couldn't be more grateful.
