Daniel Browning reunion 2011

Olivia and Kaylee headed the construction of the castle. Some might say it was a master piece. But that would have been Lea and I. I can't wait to see these girls grow older together.

Cousins, cousins and more cousins. That is all you need to have a great time at the beach.

Julia and Knomeo (so Olivia named it) were digging in the sand at the beach in California. This was Julias first time to see the beach since we left the girls behind last year.

It wasn't just the kids having fun. I love our family. Thanks to everyone who made the effort to come and make this a trip we will never forget.

Dr Jacob Browning- June 24, 2011

Jacob finished Pharmacy school and was given his doctorate. He was hooded by my older brother Dr. Adam Browning. What an amazing accomplishment, I'm so proud of you. But for some reason I still remember you jumping off the furniture in your underwear with a towel around your neck like a cape. Man have you come along way. I love you. Rachel

"I'll remember this forever"

We took the family to Winslow Arizona to jump off the cliffs at clear creek. This is a place Anthony and I used to go when we were dating. The batman graffite is new.

The kids had a great time swimming and jumping. You could see a fish swim by now and then. The fish were as big as the kids so they were naturally affraid. I just told them to let dad jump first, that he would scare away the fish. And if the fish ate him then surely they wouldn't be hungry for our boney boys. :)

Thomas had the most fun and is by far the bravest. He said "I'm going to remember this forever." That was my favorite part of the trip. I bought a swimming suit that is supposed to slim your figure but all it did was shove the fat up my back and out the top. But having this memory with my kids is worth a photo of me in a swim suit on the internet. :)

Cub Scout Day Camp June 2011

I got the chance to go with Josh to day camp this year. I am so proud of the young man he has become and enjoyed seeing him be so happy. With archery, bb gun, swimming, water balloons what little boy wouldn't have fun.

Our 1st Cruise May 2011

Anthony and I got the chance to get away thanks to some loving family that watched our kids. We dressed up for the formal night, then went to the bow and pretended we were on the Titanic.

The cruise went to Mexico and stopped off in Catalina for some ziplinning. :) Best part of the trip!

In Ensenada we took the tour to the La Buffadora blow hole. Out of 3 in the world we've seen 2. The best part of this trip was the funny bus driver. Who was so gracious he shared his Fritos.

We had a great time, and smuggles some switch blades home for the boys. Now I can check that off my list of things never done.
