Hunter Jeffrey Smith

Baby Hunter is finally here! He was born Tuesday 4/27/2010! He shares his birthday with my sister Molly...so fun! Brad and I spent time with the little family Tuesday, but we waited until Wednesday to bring the kiddos. Owen is soooooo excited. All he can talk about is baby Hunter. He asks to look at Baby Hunter pictures all day long. What a proud cousin. Claire just says baby, and wants to smooch him. We are all super excited to be the best cousins, auntie, and uncle we can be.

The Allen's Visit for Nikki's Wedding

Sy, Shaunna, and the boys drove up for Nikki's wedding. The kiddos always have so much fun together! Owen, Claire, Emmett, and Nolan danced and danced at the reception.....so adorable!

More Tractor Fun with the Kiddos

Owen rode with me a bit around the yard after mowing. He hasn't wanted anything to do with the big tractor......until today. Brad asked if he wanted to ride, "yes"! He loved as we knew he would. What a brave little man. Sissy has always loved it, she not scared of anything.....can't wait till she's a teenager!

Claire Using Utensils (CORRECTLY)!

Owen's New Big Boy Bed

It's official......Owen is a big boy! We bought Owen a brand new big boy bed this morning and he is sleeping soundly in it as we speak. We have been talking all day about sleeping in his new bed and giving baby Hunter his baby bed. When Aunt Kenzie and Uncle Ricky came to pick up his crib he was totally fine. He said "Baby hunter's bed, Baby Hunter's room". I guess it's as easy as that. Needless to say it's not as easy as that for me, he'll always be my baby!

These Crazy Kids

While we were in Vegas the Aunties, Great Grandma Jean and Papa & Amma Sprague watched the kiddos. I knew they would be spoiled rotten, and I knew they would love every minute of it. What I didn't know is how much they would change in 4 days! Claire is standing up in the middle of the room without holding on to something now and Owen had a super duper explosion of words! I swear he has tripled his vocabulary! We were on our way to town this morning and Owen said "let's go this way mama", pointing toward the park. What the heck! I think both of their hair is longer and they just seem bigger! Crazy kids. Thanks to everyone who helped with my sweet babies, we love you!!

Dam Tour

We had a late flight out of Vegas Sunday so we decided to rent a car and take the dam tour. Absolutely AMAZING! They are almost finished with the new bridge. I'm so glad we did this!

VEGAS BABY

We had a blast in Vegas. Here are just a few pics because you know what they say....

WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS STAYS IN VEGAS!

It was so good to get away and so good to be back home!

Easter Sunday

Dying Easter Eggs

Auntie Kenzie's Rice Crispie Treat Crafts We had Easter dinner with my Dad, Molly & Sean, and Kenzie & Ricky. Brad BBQ'd ribs.....de-lish! We are so blessed to have such a great family. Owen said the Easter blessing this year, so sweet, so special! It went a little something like this:

Owen's Easter Prayer........Thank you God (he really draws out God) fo sissy. Thank you God (God really drawn out) fo food. Thank you God (pause), Amen. Owen then claps excitedly, we all join in.
