Christmas!!

Christmas was tons of fun(even though it has been over two months ago) Grant and lucie got two brownie pj's this year since they had two different xmases. The brownies also made baby lulu matching pjs. We went to the waterpark again, gigi and grandpa both made it so it was fun for them. I got a new vaccum and carpet cleaner for xmas-yahoo, i love it!!!

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Bucks game/JAIL

We got free tickets to the Bucks baskeball game from a parent at my center so we took the kids last night. It was so much fun. The players were laying on the floor stretching and they had people helping them at which point my dear sweet Lucie goes.....MOM ARE THEY GOING TO JAIL. hahahahahahahahahaha. I guess that is what you get when quality time with dad includes Dog the Bounty Hunter.

Grant's reindeer!!

Grant brought home a folder of what all of the kids in his class would do if they had a pet reindeer. Most of the children said they would ride it, play with it or feed him. Not my son, Grant said he would give it a shower. Which is funny because last week in the middle of our first snow storm last week Grant wanted to give Murphey our dog a shower with him. While Grant was trying to get him in and I was trying to get him out Grant slipped and fell causeing him to bite his tongue a few times and cut his chin, we took him to the ER where they glued it, the next day he woke and it had split open again, so the clinic glued, butterfly bandaged and then bandaged after that. less then two days later we were back at the clinic because they had all come off and it was open again.
I guess all he really wants are clean animals. Hmmm!!

Family Pictures!

We had our family pics taken in arizona, these are a few of my favorites. I have a lot of favorites!! We had them taken with Josh's family-I have only seen 75 of over 300 and I probably love at least 30 of them. I am so excited and glad we did them. Grant and Richie had tons of fun and Lucie with the girls had a lot of ridiculous fun as well!

Arizona Part Two!

Lucie was so excited for Tobie to come over and play that one day she stood by the door for over 20 minutes waiting.

Grant fell asleep with Grandpa on Aunt Carol's couch. Lucie and her cousin Maycie had a sleepover at Grandma's house

The were beat for quite a bit of the trip.

We went to an indoor play area that had rides and everything was covered in one cost and since there was no one there the lady just followed us around and let us ride whatever we wanted as many times as we wanted to. All of the pics that are on rides are from here.

This is Josh, his dad, his two uncles(his dads brothers)and the two Grants(one is ours and one is uncle Rick's.)

This is Josh and Grandma Penny-his dad's mom







Madie, Tobie, Maycie and Lucie-all of the kids spent most of their time at Aunt Carols house-and the trampoline was there favorite.

Our Super Fun Arizona Vacation!

These two pictures should be at the very end, but it is 11 at night and this is where they showed up. This is a picture AFTER our trip when we first got home and Josh was unloading the car. What is significant about this picture???? It is the man I love, coming out of the house I love, to carry in the kids I love, in the city I love. I LOVE IT ALL!!

This is Lucie eating a cookie/ice cream dessert that Maylinn made and it was so good I came home and made it myself.

The first picture I took of Lucie and Tobie I asked them both to smile and this is what they did. The freeways in Arizona are HUGE, 6 lanes going in each direction.

All the smith boys

Grant, Grant, Lexie and Lucie (Grant and Lexie are Rick's kids.)

Aunt Maylinn in the jumper with the kids

This is the first time my babies have ever flown. They were sooo cute.



Awww, she LOOKS so angelic.

Lucie and her baby buckled in.

With 45 minutes to go on the plane Lucie finally fell asleep.

she did however need to sleep with her feet up on the plane window.

For the first time in 5 years we just went back to Arizona to visit the Smith side of the family. We have seen Josh's mom and dad and two sisters a couple of times when they have come out here but we haven't seen most of his family in five years and they have never seen Lucie-and Grant last as a baby. There are soo many pictures that I won't even try to put a caption on most of them. I do have to apologize to Aunt Carol because we spent soo much time at her house and I don't have a single picture of her(I am sure however that you don't care.) Grant and Lucie loved getting to know there cousins, and I had alot of fun with Josh's mom, sisters and aunt. I do want to deeply thank everyone who made our trip to Arizona enjoyable!! We will never forget the times we had.
