Happy Birthday you three! Three b-day's in two days... What did everyone do to celebrate??

I couldn't stop laughing... I called Jackson to sing to him and as I was singing I heard him laugh and laugh and then he said, "You so funny!! You so funny!!" I think I'm going to sing to him each time I talk to him just to hear his response!

Happy Birthday!

VOTE.

If you didn't get out and vote today, I am going to give you another chance. This time it's going to be for shirts for our family reunion. Here are the two options:

• The Football style- On the back of our shirts we would have "SMITH FAM" and then beneath that it will say '09'. The "SMITH FAM" isn't set in stone. It could just say "SMITH" or "FAMILY REUNION" anything we want. If you like this idea let me know what you think it should say in the comment section.
• Signature style- On the back of the shirt we would have the state of Florida and everyone would sign their name. We would then have this copied so it was permanently on the shirt. Would we want anything else on the back?

Well, leave your suggestions and vote in the comment section. Mom says we need to decide and get the shirts going so make sure to leave your vote or I will just decide! Thanks!

Throwback Thursday ~

You asked for it...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Texas Orange is the winner!!

Its on its way....

Can you believe how time flies. I can't believe it is that time of year again... Since I have totally lost my mind, I can not remember what we have been doing in the past for Christmas. Families? or Cousins? Who knows, I think it would be fun to incorp DisneyWorld somehow...

Final Vote-

You have until Friday to vote on the color of t-shirt you want to wear. Each family has 2 votes for each adult in their family. Post your votes in the comment section (the poll thing wont let me do two votes for some reason!) and we will see which color we will be wearing in May!

Your options are Lime Green, Chocolate Brown,and Texas Orange.

Happy Voting!

It's a tie!

Looks like the colors we will be voting on are chocolate brown, lime green and texas orange! Be thinking of the color you want. Each family has only 2 votes!

Voting Status???

Just wondering....there has been 10 votes so far. Who has all voted? How many votes can we place? Looks like Texas Orange is in the lead....

Grandma's Sleepover

Last night Grandma had the girls over for a sleepover. We played, did crafts, ate dinner together, and hung out. This morning we had breakfast and watched General Conference.

Here are some of the highlights.

• Morgan laughing at herself during dinner.
• Alex saying, "I'm not domestic... I'm a republican!"
• Getting all of the sewing done on Alex's quilt.
• Dance, Dance Revolution
• Watching conference and working on conference packets.
• Talking Abby into trying out for cheerleader and doing toe touches.
• Just hanging out with the girls... including Emery and Sandy.

Here we are during dinner. It was fun going around the table and saying nice things about each person.

We finished all the sewing on Alex's quilt! HOORAY! I didn't know if this day would ever come. Now all we have to do is the cutting and washing.

Watching Conference

What are you doing Abby?

I had to post a picture of this little sleeping beauty!



The boys came over on Sunday afternoon and Britton had a lot of fun throwing the ball to Sandy.

What a stud!

Dinner updates.....

So whats for dinner this week???? If you are a planner-and I am not- post your menus online so we can all get ideas! I need quick and easy....

Happy Grandparents Day!

To the greatest Grandparent's...

From the cutest group of Grandkids!

Alex

I just wanted Alex to know that we are proud of her and new special calling as the Beehive Class Secretary! I think Alex will be FANTASTIC at this calling because she is organized and dedicated! Can you believe how old these kids are getting? Love ya Alex!

Random Lagoon Pics

Don and Brenda
Nikki, Natalie, Carrie and Whitney

I thought I'd start to update this blog a bit more and hopefully that will trigger everyone else to do the same! Here are some pictures of the kids at Mom's yesterday.

I love how all the kids swarm to Emery. This picture was a bit staged but this is really how it is. All of the kids love to be around Emery and their always saying, "I want to hold her!" or "It's my turn now!"
I didn't really care for this picture but as I looked at it, I wanted to know why Alex was making that face...please explain Alex!

The princesses...and Jaden looking through the doors. Jaden already has some blackmail princess pics so I guess he didn't want to participate in the fun!


Oh what a cheese ball! Here is Aiden showing of his lovely shoes! Can you tell he has older sisters or what?? He did have his nails painted too!

And Britton sure loved the frosting on those cupcakes!! But I think he has more on his face!!

* Just as a side note, I completed this post while holding Emery and eating cereal! Yes, I am typing with one hand. So I think everyone should update this blog more often. Bring back the Throwback Thursdays!!

Happy Birthday!

We hope you have a great birthday today,

Whitney!

Words from my five year old today...

"Remember when we were at the beach and

Bryanna taught me how to pee in the ocean?"

Thanks, Bryanna... I didn't want to have to teach her that!

I LOVE IT!!

I love the Days to Disney countdown... I seems so far away, but we better start saving our money! Maybe in trade for Christmas, the cousins may want to do disney dollars, princess attire or something fun like that...This is a picture of Cinderellas castle when we went in December. At night they made it look like icicles. Also if anyone is interested, they have a boutique that will do girly stuff for the little ones, maybe an updo and wear a pricess dress for the day...Any takers? I might get Morgan a certificate to it for her birthday or something! I AM SO EXCITED...I think I am a DISNEY nut!

Happy Anniversary you two!

Is it five years?

Happy Anniversary!

I woke up this morning and looked at my phone and thought... "Oh, it's Natalie and Samson's Anniversary!" We hope you two love birds have a very happy and romantic day. How many years has it been?

P.S. If you look closely at the pink bird, you will notice that she moves. Pretty neat, huh?

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Ed!

We hope you have a great day...

It's the mama's birthday!

Happy Birthday! Hope you had a great day...yesterday!

Easter '08

Easter was moved to Mike & Carrie's house due to too much snow at Don & Brenda's! Plenty of deviled eggs were consumed and 221 eggs were hid around the house. The Easter Bunny wasn't seen, but two little turkeys in a pink jeep were pretty fun to watch...

Happy Birthday!

We love you, babe!

It's your birthday~

Happy Birthday Samson!!!

Have a very Happy Birthday!

Special Day

On Saturday, Bryanna was baptized by her Grandfather and confirmed by her Great-Grandfather.

Bryanna and her good friend were able to share the special day together.
Even Britton had a good time! Cheese!!
Out to dinner with the family afterwards...

Open your eyes Carrie..

Congratulations Bry!!!!

Boys-

I thought this picture was so cute because it shows that Dad and Britton really do have the same smile! Now we just need Carson in the picture because he smiles just like these two boys.

Small, Smaller, Smallest...

What handsome men we have in our family!
