Erika, Lilly and Laura

Charli

Davis stayed at my house one night
and he is quite a shows man. We took goofy pictures together for entertainment.
One of his most impressive displays is when he hits himself in the face.



Erika and I over at Doug's house.


Charlize Annabelle Brown is B.e.a.utiful.

Soccer

There is always time to say hi to Charli when playing soccer.
Davis is going to be playing for the Galaxy next year.

I found my battery charger. I promised some of the fam pic of Davis' first soccer practice.

Dribbling
I think the shin guards look great!


Here are some video as well.

September

What is so funny is I did not think you all really read my blog. Thank you for the encouragement to update. There seems to have been a few loose ends from my summer. Yes, I am dating Levi. He is in Pensacola, Florida doing some flight training for the Navy. He is moving to Texas soon to do some more training. I knew him from high school but we were three grades apart. That was just not cool back then. We were friends though and I always thought a lot of him back then. Well this last Dec. he found me on Facebook. (There is a reason for its existence) We are having a lot of fun but long distance is difficult.

I have been keeping busy, but not out of control try to defy logic busy, with school and work. I am taking a Spanish class and I love it. I moved in with Erika and we love our little apartment. She put some beautiful furniture in there and we are living in style. Don't worry we have some priesthood holders living above us from our ward and Laura and Chad are across the street so we have a tool kit close by when we need one.

We had our first immediate Brown family reunion that was not centered around a holiday, except that it was on a holiday.... It was quite a lot of fun and Levi was able to show off quite a bit taking the family on plane rides and, the 100 pointer, water skiing. It was so great

Davis has been so much fun. He is now in school and I went to one of his first soccer practices! He is good. Watch out David Beckham and Joey Worthen.

Mom and I Reunite

I have not seen my mom since last August. For anyone that knows us that is crazy long. Well, at the Isagenix convention in Las Vegas we got to reunite. She is looking fabulous and we had a great time together.

July has been good

Games at the Jensen's is always fun. The following video is of our sweet, pure Karen, struggling with the word "sex change" playing Catch Phrase.

Flight acoss America

So, I did it. I flew across America in a 2 seater Russian YAK52 airplane. This plane is made for training and not for long distance flights. It has a lot of power but not a big gas tank. We can fly it for about an hour and a half before we have to fill up again. Levi wanted to have it in Pensacola Florida where he has been picked up for flight school for the Navy, but of course he needed a copilot. I instantly volunteered and what follows is the amazing adventure that we had.


We flew north from Mesa passing over some beautiful dessert. We flew over and a little bit into the meteor crater. See the small visitor building and parking lot in the top right corner of the page?

We flew down into this beautiful canyon called Canyon de Chelly. I felt like Indiana Jones, except I was not being chased by anyone. It is hard to tell you how amazing it was.

I am very aware that these pictures may be boring to you but they display the beautiful country and scenery that we flew over.

I did get to fly the plane at several occasions, mostly when Levi was checking the maps or wanted to take a nap. I got good so he was letting me fly just because. I did land the plane once but did a horrible job taking off. Yes, Levi is able to take over anytime I mess up, which he did have to do on my take off. Ha laughed and said, "People must think we are drunk," because I was swerving down the runway so bad.

We stopped in several little airports. Each stop we were rock stars. People would come up and ask Levi a dozen questions about his unique airplane and ask to look inside of it.




Our favorite airport was Grant-Milan were "Eye Brows" Wes was the airport manager. He loved Levi. He lent us his Jimmy for a courtesy car and had 2 great dogs hanging out with him. We are pretty sure he live at the airport.

One airport was manufacturing little plane called a Cub. We got a tour.

We would stop and get out to fill up, go drive into town to find some food and what ever other exploring we wanted to do.

It was very flat crossing NM, OK and TX. Some of it was farm land and as we flew closer to Florida it was still flat but very green and marshy.

More fun was had even after landing. We went into New Orleans and to an alligator Hatchery.

We flew in formation with a guy who also has a YAK52 at the airport in Pensacola. He was so excited that Levi moved there.

Sailing on the 4th of July with Levi's good friend and new wife.

We heard it more than once that we look like siblings.

On our last day we drove to Mobile and found a beautiful river to canoe on. It was beautiful.

We had a watermelon fight which I won.

However I did not win the king of the boat.
