Yesterday was Zachary's birthday. He was so excited. I still can't believe it was seven years ago that he surprised us with his arrival (since ultrasound said girl). He is a cutie who loves to give hugs. I didn't take any pictures of him opening presents, but here he is with is birthday crown from school:
I may have mentioned that for Easter I let Becca pick out fabric to sew her own skirt. She loves to do this. We got to JoAnn's and she found many fabrics she liked, so I let her pick out two. Needless to say, she sewed a very cute pleated skirt with the second one (my favorite fabric of the two we bought), and she had enough left-over to sew a matching skirt for Shayla. She did a great job considering she didn't have a pattern for Shayla's. We ran into a few glitches with it when the original didn't fit just right, but with some last-minute fixes they got to wear matching outfits to church on Sunday:
Monday night we had a fun Family Home Evening. I had forgotten to remind Tyler he was supposed to be in charge of the lesson, so I only gave him an hour's notice. I wasn't sure what to expect with so little time for him to prepare. Needless to say, I was impressed. He drew this picture of Goliath:
He told us the story about David being brave and coming up against Goliath and using stones to kill him. Then he said we all have Goliaths, so we were going to use some of his piggies to practice killing Goliath like David did. We then took turns throwing stuffed pigs at Goliath:
Man, that Goliath had no idea that his unrighteousness would mean one day people would hurl pigs at his picture ... keep that in mind when making choices, huh?
This weekend Becca is going on her first date! I posted too soon about her not dating yet -- she got asked to prom the next day. What boy asks a girl to prom with less than two weeks to buy a dress?!? Good news is that we found one on KSL.com (a local Craig's List-type site) and it fits perfectly and is totally modest (not to mention cheap). Phew! We're going to add some ribbon to the dress to make it a little nicer (hope I don't mess up :) and I've got to iron the thing. So much preparation for prom ... and I'm not even the one going. Maybe I'll have to get a DQ Blizzard once we get her out the door. Or should I wait until she gets back safely? :) And to think we've got two more years of prom (and other dances) after this one. Sigh ...
Anyway, Austin is four weeks old today. I guess that calls for more pictures. We're sure loving this little cutie:

Zachary looks cute in his crown. How talented is Becca to sew a skirt with no pattern. They both look so cute. I like how Shayla is looking up at Becca.
what a fun post. I love the skirts. They turned out great. they both look so cute. I cant believe that Austin is 4 weeks old. where has the time gone.
Wow!What a lot is happening at the Brown household!. I loved Tyler's idea for FHE--he's really on the ball! And Becca your skirts are adorable! (Have you thought of entering anything in the fair?) A prom date? It's hard to believe that it is that time already! I hope Zachary got the card I found for him--to live closer and give him a birthday hug--that's what I wish. And of course there is adorable Austin. (You forget how tiny those feet can be!)
