It's Been Awhile

So... WOW. Its been soooo long since I've written a new post on our family blog (SORRY!). To be honest its been soooo hectic, I havent found the time until now. So many things have happened in the past couple of months, I'll try to fill you all in as best as I can.....

*Jason got a new truck (chevy 4x4 truck), its amazing. Perfect room for our family, looks awesome & the price was RIGHT. However the engine was not so right. Yup.. believe it or not the engine BLEW UP.. LITERALLY the day after it was paid off. What are the odds? But seeing we got this bad ass truck for only 4 grand, we are willing to get a new engine. It's $1500 for the engine(which jason will put in himself!).. so really were still paying no more than 6 grand for the whole truck even with a new engine... CANT COMPLAIN. We are getting the engine soon.. so i'll keep you posted.

*We had a flood happen at our house. Yup.. a flood & a fire all in one year (haha our luck is amazing!!). But really, it was a blessing in disguise. Even though we lived without some flooring for awhile, the results of our new floors are GREAT. We have amazing tile in our kitchen (Much better than that vinyl crud), and we have all new carpet throughout the house, its a REALLY nice dark shaggy carpet that I wanted. Im starting to notice a pattern with us. Something horrible with happen.. but it always turns out to be a blessing. Awesome :)

*I can't believe how big Landon is getting. He turned a year old on June 12th and it just doesnt stop there. He's crawling eveywhere and pretty much walking. Hasn't got the walking down 100% but hes standing on his own and taking a couple steps here & there. He's saying words like mama, dada, hi, bye, papa, kitty. He waves bye bye and gives kisses. He plays games, feeds himself, runs around the house like a hyper monkey & has the greatest sense of humor ever (deff. got that from his daddy!). As he's getting older we are able to do more things with him. So far we've taken him to MotorFest(car show), 4th of July BBQ's, the zoo, bike rides, boating on my parents boat, & we even had our 1st family camping trip a couple days ago. I love being a mommy & it's only getting more & more fun by the day.

*Jason is still working with CTR & is working his butt off. They sent him to some classes to get certified, which we were so happy & thankful for. I am still working at The Athletic Training Center & still dropping weight. I currently decided I am going back to school this fall to....... BOISE STATE UNIVERSITY. I got accepted (I knew getting good grades in highschool would pay off!). I start at the very end of August & I am going to get my Masters in Elementary Education. It's going to be a hard & long journey, but I have faith.

*Our friends Kim & Ricky moved up here to Idaho from San Diego. It's nice to have familiar faces around. We opened up our home to them for about 2 1/2 months until they got on their feet. They recently just moved into their own home and are doing fine. They are both really good friends to us & we are soo happy to have them here in Idaho :)



We are so blessed & so happy with everything that has happened to us here in Idaho. We of course miss everyone in California, but you guys are always on our thoughts and in our hearts. Our family will continue to grow, learn & go through obsticals that will only make us stronger. It's been an amazing ride so far, & I can't wait to see what else is in store.

Love Always,
Jason, Tiffany & Landon Browne
