So the pass week has being so hard for us, Me and Jackson got a really bad cold where we could not even get out of our apartment or even get nothing done, but what made this sad was that the first night that Jackson was sick (Friday) he had fever of 103 and all night I mean all night he was saying: Mommy please help me, please help! It broke my heart just because I could not do anything to help him . I asked him if he wanted a Blessing from his Dad , and I tried as best that I can to explain to him(2 year old) what that meant and how it would help him but I told that he needed to ask his Papai (daddy in Portuguese) for it. well it did not go the way that I plan but he did got a blessing from Jeff and Jack monke and he set on the chair like a Big boy and when the prayer started his eyes got so big, it was cute!
So this week Jeff is preparing for the Blue and Gold dinner to commemorate the birthday of Scouting he is the cub master for our Ward, so he is a bit nervous about it and to top all this Jeff has his moot court competition Next week where he is going to Huston TX. on Thursday this is a Big thing for him and for the school so I hope all gos well there.
Sam is growing each day and Smiles all the time he is a great baby and I'm so glad to have had him and have him in our Family , Jackson loves his little bro so much that even sick he always wanted to give kisses to Sam and hug him, I had to control that one we did not wanted the baby to get our sickness.
I love my family and each day I thank Heavenly Father for each one of them.

We're the Brown family. My name is Pollyanna. My husband is Jeff, and our two sons are Jackson and Samuel. Here is a small account of what we have been doing the past two and a half years:

2008 brought our family to Florida. In January, Jeff got accepted at Florida Coastal School of Law in Jacksonville, Florida. He starded school in August of that year, 1 week after our first son, Jackson, was born. For Jeff to be at school on time, he had to leave Utah the day after Jackson was born. We missed him so much for 2 weeks, but eventually left Utah ourselves and moved to our new home, Jacksonville, Florida, two weeks later.

In 2009, the Brown family started hitting its stride. We made lots of good friends out first year, including the Bradshaws, Calkins, Austins, Carsons, Lorzs, Pattons... so many that we can't even keep count. Playgroups spent visitng St. Augustine, the Jacksonville Zoo, and the beach, dinner groups, a spring-break trip to Hoosier land with the Barnhills and Oxford, OH to visit Jonathan and Jennifer made the time seem to fly by. Jeff started to get more involved in law school. After nervously trying out for the school's prestigous Moot Court team, he got the award for being the best Oral Advocate and continues to do well when asked to participate. In the summer of that year, we moved back to Utah so that Jeff could intern at a botique law firm. We were also able to have Jackson's first birthday party and attend my brother-in-law's, James, wedding. It was great to see old friends and family, but we quickly realized that Florida was home to our small family. In fall, Jeff became the president of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society at the school. There were hard adjustments to make that year: living in a new State on the other side of the country, taking care of a baby, and dealing with Jeff being gone at school a lot. But we felt at home in Florida.

2010 brought even more significant changes to our family. In December of last year, we welcomed Samuel to our family, bringing our total to four. Jeff also got the oppotunity to internship in Washington, D.C., where he spent the whole summer working for an international trade law firm. I and Jackson went to Utah to visit the in-laws for a month, then flew back to D.C. just in time to spend the Fourth-of-July weekend with Jeff in our nation's capitol. It was amazing. I then went back to Jacksonville while Jeff finished his internship in D.C. In fall of that year, we were back together in Jacksonville and finished the year by having Samuel and spending Christmas with friends in Jacksonville, rather than going back to Utah like years past.

2011 is already proving to be just as adventerous as all the years past, and we can't wait to share our stories with y'all through this blog. I'll also relive in detail some of the adventures mentioned above. I look forward to making this blog, and hope you all enjoy reading it too!
