Smith family Fun!

My brother came into town from china with his family because they bought a home here and stayed for a week and a half. My sister came from utah minus her hubby he had to work but come to find out he had sat sun and monday off he was so sad that he couldnt come, my other sister and brother who live in saint johns also came along with my parents, all 41 of us were together.

we started the family fun off on friday night with the adult dinner. We are the worst people to decide where to eat. first it was joes bbq but not as many people wanted that so we took a vote either olive garden or joes bbq. it was tied 7 wanted joes and 7 wanted olive garden, my mom was the deciding factor and she chose olive garden. so off we went but with such a large party of 15 wasnt going to be that easy to get in fast it was suppose to be like an 1 1/2 wait. we tried calling other places and pretty much was the same we kept going back and forth should we just go to joes. but we figured by the time we got there it would have been the same time for us to get into olive garden. So we finally decided to stay. it was a lot of fun with everyone we sure kept that place a rockin we are always so loud when we are all together.

Next day we had a family bbq at the park by my sister heidis house for jan, feb and march birthdays. we had a scavenger that my mom always does for the kids and then we split up the teams for our annual kickball game. It was the champions vs destroyers we had a so much fun and all the kids had a blast. We played for a long time but we enjoyed every minute of it, but someone always gets hurt when you are having fun, my brother in law bruce slid into home and got his finger caught on home plate and tore his finger nail back and was bleeding a lot but he was ok just some bandages and he was good to go. After that we started the food on the grill and opened presents for those who had a birthday. We had lots of yummy food and ate till we were going to explode or at least i did.

On tuesday we went to Bounce U it is a place where they have slides obstacle courses and fun stuff we had pizza and just had a ball. Colton thought it was pretty fun he kept saying i went to the bounce house. he went down the slides and climbed on the obstacle courses by himself he was so proud. He also got to play air hockey for his first time and he was having a lot of fun with that. mya just crawled around and played with the balls they had there. My 2 brothers got in the boxing ring with these huge gloves on and were pounding each other and were tired after just a few minutes what a bunch of oldies, haha. We just hungout the next few days at his house and let the kids play colton loves playing with the older boys. I love getting to spend time with all of my family we always have such a great time. these are the moments i feel so blessed to have my family! cant wait to the next smith family fun! here are some pictures of the family fun

Our pretty princess turned 1!

Mya turned 1 on march 11th! All i can say right now is where did the time go? it went to fast thats for sure. Mya has been such a wonderful baby and we couldnt be any happier to have her in our little family. She is a mommies girl like no other and sometimes it is out of control. if someone else is holding her and she sees me she will either cry or do a sad face and try to come to me, i love it but sometimes i need a break. She does NOT walk yet, she is so lazy. But she will get it soon enough. I know that colton wants her to run and play with him so bad. But they do tackle each other and she can hold her ground it is quit funny, sometimes colton screams to get her off.
Mya loves to talk and dance. you say mya dance and she bounces around she thinks she is dancing i love it! She still has no teeth but i think some are working their way in now. it is crazy how different my 2 babies are. She is small but the biggest drama queen ever and very spoiled.

Words she can say:
mamma
dadda
whats that
bye
baby
uh oh

she can also
wave bye bye
clap her hands

Her stats:
16lbs 9 oz (1st percentile)
head 18 in (70th percentile)
length 27.5 (9th percentile)

She is very small and petite and i love it! she is such a joy to have around here and cant wait to continue to see her grow. We love you pretty princess! Here are some pictures and they are out of order cause i am too lazy to fix them.

We survived 5 years!

On January 14th me and andrew celebrated our 5 year anniversary. Can you believe we survived, haha. We have Bought our first home, had 2 wonderful cute adorable kids and have 2 crazy dogs. It has been a wild ride so far but I have enjoyed every minute of it. I couldnt have asked for a better husband and father than andrew. He is such a great man and i am so lucky he is mine. We have grown so much closer to each and have learned a lot about one another. I have loved learning new things about andrew throughout the years. We are so happy and could be enjoying life more than we are now. We have been through a lot of ups and downs but it only brought us closer together. I am thankful to heavenly father for bringing this wonderful man into my life. I couldnt imagine life without him. I love you andrew and look forward to many more years together. Here are some pictures of us over the years. Happy Anniversary Andrew!
















One of my favs

Wow look at that fro, haha. love you babe

Let there be a ponytail!

Finally she has a little bit of hair to have one tiny little ponytail. She hates headbands and will normally have them pulled off before i can even get them completely on her head. she wasnt to happy when i put in this ponytail but she hasnt pulled it out YET anyways. I know it is only a matter of time before she pulls it out. i tried to even put a clip on there and it covered it completely, so we will wait till it gets longer. It makes her forehead look bigger but i dont care i am sick of her being called a boy, even though she has her ears pierced and will be dressed in pink and in a flower pink carseat come on people. But here are some cute pictures of our princess in her cute little ponytail.






















trying to get the camera




















can u see it? hahaha




















She is so dang cute

i cant get over how cute she looks with it

Our Christmas!

Our christmas was a lot of fun this year. Colton knew what was going on and loved every minute of it. To start off our christmas this year we had a christmas party a few weeks before christmas. It a lot of fun as usual. We made these cute reindeer and santa with nutter butter cookies. colton only liked the candy so i made them for him, and they tasted so good. anyways then santa made a visit. Colton only likes santa from a distance so of course he freaked out, but then shortly realized that it was andrews dad and started yelling grandpa it was pretty funny. Then we had a white elephant exchange for the adults and kids it was fun seeing everyone go after each others gifts.
christmas eve we were at andrews parents house, we had lots of yummy food and treat and hung out and had a bond fire outside. colton wasnt digging the fire and neither was mya. We then opened or jammies from grandma and grandpa, i love this tradition! then it was time to get the kids dressed in jammies and went home to wait for santa. while i was finishing wrapping presents my best friend sarah came over for a visit it was nice to catch up i love her and wished she lived right next door to me. While they were here we got a knock at the door and there was some pretty awesome gifts for us that we were in need of. I wanted to cry but held it in i didnt want to look like a weirdo. Whoever it was i sincerely thank you from the bottom of my heart it was an act of giving thats for sure you will be blessed.
Christmas Day colton woke up early and wanted to eat and i tried to tell him santa came but he was more interested in eating first. After he was done we went and woke up daddy so he could see colton open his presents. Mya was still asleep and i was not about to wake her up nore did she even know what was going on. Colton went straight for his tricycle and truck. when he opened each present he wanted to play with them right at that moment, so unwrapping presents took him a while. He got a woody that he loves so much and some cars trucks and thomas the train and the movie car stuff. He was in heaven and didnt know what to do with all these new toys. we only got mya a doll since she didnt know what was happening, she loved to eat her face.
I am greatful for the true reason we celebrate christmas, i love that colton is slowly learning about jesus. i am greatful for the gospel in my life and what it has taught me so i can pass it onto my kids. i am greatful for my family and friends for all they have done for me. I am truly blessed with a wonderful little family. I am so happy i get the opportunity to be a mommy to these 2 sweet little babies and a wife to my husband. Life couldnt get any better. Hope everyone else had a great christmas. Here are a few pictures of our christmas that are out of order of course.

Growing up to fast!

He is very good with his little sister he loves to make her laugh especially when we are in the car he plays peek a boo with her and she just loves it, makes it easy to be in the car. He loves to hold her and feels like such a big boy. He sleeps in a big boy bed and now gets out of it and opens the door and says mom i awake, it is seriously the cutest thing ever, i was so shocked when i heard him open his door all by himself i was thinking where did my baby go. He is such a big helper he wants to help with EVERYTHING sometimes a little to much but i enjoy having a little sidekick. He loves to be outside and now can unlock the sliding door and go run free in the backyard. Colton is such a fire ball but love every bit of him

Colton and all his animals and freaking out that

A trip to schnepf farms

We decided to go to schnepf farms. The admission was free so thats the only reason we went. We went first went to see all the animals Colton loved them all and didnt want to leave. Went then went down the slides and took a hay ride to go feed the reindeer. Colton would literally get one piece of hay and try to give it to them the reindeer tried really hard to get it from him but it didnt work out that well, but it was fun to watch him. We then went on the train ride. Colton really loves trains. everytime it would toot its horn he went nuts. I didnt realized how big that place was. there were so many thing to do there. We had a lot of fun with my sister her hubby and cousin mason.
