These are some really random pictures of our trip to Moab and Newport Beach. The first one is actually a barbecue we had this past week.



Hi mom and dad. We decided to have a barbecue at your place while you were in Virginia. We had a great time! Thanks for letting us use your place.

Us four wheeling in Moab.

We hiked to Delicate Arch. Great pictures there.

Had to stop and take some pictures on the way up to the arch.

We went to Moab in May and had to visit some of the friendly locals. They were actually pretty quiet, but really liked Hollie (she was given a kiss by this particular local).

This was taken at a wax museum in Los Angeles. Pretty scary.

An aquarium in Newport. Jordan loves aquariums and forced the whole family to go to this one. It was pretty terrible.

This was one of the pools at our hotel in Newport. We were really sunburned after spending some time here.

Us near the ocean, not much more to say.

So far this year...

Let me start off and say that I know I am terrible at keeping up with my blog. Oh well. Who really cares anyway! This post is mostly for my favorite Erin- we were VERY VERY sad that you and the boys weren't here for the wedding. It was have been a lot more fun to have you here to hang out with during all the wedding festivities. I meant to post these the day after the wedding, but it is great that I am even putting them up in the same month that they were taken!

Jordan's older brother Brandon got married a couple of weeks ago to Brittany. Now we have 2 Brittany Brown's in the family! Brittany is such an awesome girl. She is very smart and really sweet. It is a blast having her around. It has been so much fun to have all of the brothers in the family be married. We all really get along (which is really lucky) and we have so much fun together.

It was the best weather for a wedding and the flowers at Temple square were beautiful!

Waiting for the photographer to get there so the bride and groom could come out!

Yeah! They are such a perfect match for each other.

The only picture I got of us at the temple.

The handsome Brown boys- now now ladies, they are all married!

This is supposed to be the GQ pose- not really happening!

The boys were trying to do a pose that they had seen Gramps basketball team doing in the yearbook- they were laughing too hard at first.

The final pose- Hilarious!

Brittany's dress was beautiful. It was very original.

The sisters-in-law and mother, minus Erin :(

They are so happy together. You can tell that they really love each other because they cherish each other. They couldn't stop smiling all day- especially Brandon, I have never seen him so happy.

The temple grounds were beautiful- perfect time of year to get married.

My mom managed to get a couple pics of us at the reception.

It was such a great day. I had so much fun and I am really sad that it is over. It was such a happy day and now there are no more Brown weddings. That is sad!

Catch up: Christmas.

Well I know that it has been a long long time, but here is a quick update about us. Christmas was great this year. We spent tons of time with family which was so much fun. It was our first Christmas in our house, and I loved being able to decorate it! We are very sad that it is all over. It is always hard to go back to normal life.

We went to see the Layton lights. Jordan does wear shorts and flip flops in the winter.

The Hallows family, minus Tyson.

This year my work Christmas party was at the Lion house. It was a lot of fun and of course the food was delicious!

We walked around Temple square and saw the lights. This was the first time we have done this together.

My dad's family rented a cabin at Aspen Grove before Christmas for our Christmas party. It was fun to see everyone and to be where there was tons of snow.

It was very cold, but we had a blast.

We got to go tubing with Tyson, Brandon, and the Brittany's. We went at night, and we chose one of the coldest nights ever to go. Tyson didn't even bring gloves.

Our Christmas tree. I got all new ornaments at the end of last year, so it was fun to pull them out this year.

I loved decorating our house. It is sad to take all the decorations down because now the house feels so empty. Oh well, that just means I need to go shopping for more things to put up, right? :)

Catch up: The wedding.

Jordan's brother Tyson got married on Jan. 2 to Brittany. I am the great matchmaker who set them up over a year ago. What can I say? I am good. Anyway, it was a great day. We had so much fun spending time with Jordan's family. I am sad that it is over.

Waiting outside the temple.

Brittany and Brandon- Brandon's girlfriend is also named Brittany, so maybe there will be 2 girls named Brittany in the family.

Jason and Erin

Yeah! Finally married.

Brittany's dress was beautiful.

Woot Woot!

Jordan and Brittany.

This one is for you Erin!

The good lookin' Brown boys.

Doug, Tys, and Debbie.

Funny pose by the girls. This made me realize how much I hate the things photographers make you do.

The handsome groom. This pic is very GQ.

It was a cold day at the temple, but it was beautiful.

My husband is really special.

The beautiful bride and groom.

Cheese!

What an attractive family! :)

Cute Cole!

The whole family! It was so much fun to be all together.

Brothers!

Sisters!

The reception looked beautiful. It really turned out great!

Dessert table, minus the desserts!

Brittany and Brandon

Jordan keeping Cole entertained.
