Florida here we come!
Next on our trip we head to Destin, Florida to visit Miramar Beach. We were so blessed to stay at a gorgeous RV resort right on the beach. The weather was great so we traveled by bike and one night went to carrabbas!
After two days here we headed to our Aunt Jennifer’s house in Largo, Florida. Here, we had Christiannas, Elainas, Victorias and Westons birthday!
Then we stayed at a 4 story condo which was absolutely amazing!
One day Aunt Jenny, Joseph and I went to Sea World and had a great time we saw Dolphins, Sting Rays, Sharks, Whales, Manatees and other exotic sea life.
Thank you Aunt Jenny and Uncle Brian for the great time in Florida:)

Five Sundays
Five Sundays
On all of our trips we try to attend church and here is what we learned at each of the different churches;
1st Sunday we learned all about the qualities of a godly man
2nd Sunday was Mother's Day and we learned about Virtuous Women based on Proverbs 31. This service was really neat because the Pastor focused on godly women and not just mothers - he emphasized how godly women nurture others
3rd Sunday - the emphasis was on honoring authority
4th Sunday was about the Holy Spirit and how no man can say "Jesus is Lord" without the power of the Holy Spirit
5th Sunday in Branson, MO - Emphasis was on making plain the vision God gives us and making sure we are not judging others
Bible Study throughout the trip focused on writing out the vision, walking by faith and speaking biblically.
Visiting the Krogstads
After Our time in Big Sandy we went south straight for Houston to visit our dear friends the Krogstad family. We stayed here for three days of fun bike riding, going to the beach, eating around the family meal table( Yum, yum, yum!) visiting a nursing home, Timothy’s and Victorias first tea party and the twins second, and visiting the Johnson Space Center. God bless the Krogstad Family! We love you guys!
Big Sandy, Texas
Big Sandy, Texas. Homeschool Conference.
To start our RV trip we headed to east Texas for the annual ATI homeschool conference. There are classes for teens, adults and kids. It is a great time of fellowship and learning.
Thank you Bridges Family for inviting us!

Also Grandpa Brown has been doing a really fascinating type of paper art where he takes colored paper and hand-cuts it to make really neat pictures. When they came over to see the baby I took some pictures of his most recent work for them - check out this 56 second video I made of them that showcases his most recent work, it would mean a lot!

Hello all! (Blog by Weston:)
I am sorry about being so late with updates. We have been busy (as usual). We went to the GFI family camp and the ATI family camp, mom pregnant with the new baby, our stretch Excursion, Thanksgiving, Christmas and the ski trip that is coming up...
Back in September we went to the GFI (Growing Families International) family camp in Indiana with our RV and had a wonderful time. We saw the Ezzo’s, Link’s and many more of the GFI families.
Then in October we went to the ATI (Advanced Training Institute, www.ati.iblp.org) family camp in Big Sandy, TX. We heard from Lew Sterrett, Rick Green, Gil Bates and Jim Bob Duggar at the night meetings. This camp was longer than the previous camp we enjoyed 7 days of great weather, amazing teaching and fun.
Our big event for November was getting our stretch Excursion fromTim Huskey (www.Customautosbytim.com) since we are a family of 8 (about to be nine!) we could no longer fit in our seven passenger suburban. So after doing some research dad found out about Tim Huskey who builds stretch vehicles. He delivered it 10 days before Thanksgiving. Its really amazing! I made a video slide show of it go to the video section ( the bottom of this page) to see it!
For Thanksgiving we went to our Aunt Kristin’s house and had a great time. Thank you Aunt Kristin for having us over, you are such a great hostess:).
On December 7th we went to a Christmas Tree Farm and bought two Christmas trees. Tim, Elaina, Christianna and Victoria had fun on the horseback rides and petting zoo. Then after that, Joseph and I did the lights outside our house, which totaled up to 3,800 lights!!
For Christmas we had Gaumi, Poppa and some of their friends over and Grandma and Grandpa Brown. And our Aunt Jennifer surprised us all by flying up from Florida on Christmas Eve!
For New Years we went to Gaumi and Poppa’s house and saw more of our family and had a really yummy dinner.
And on top of all this the baby is due on the Jan. 2nd…
I know that this is a really short post, but at least you have an idea of what we have been doing :) check back for a video/slideshow of the latest Brown family member.
Thank you so much for following what our family has been doing and praying for us. We are grateful for all of our friends and family who love us.
That is in a nut shell what we have been doing, we’ve had a blessed 2009 and are excited about 2010 and to see what God will do this year.
