OUR SWEETIES!!

What a GREAT weekend!!

We had a BUSY day Sat. After my LONG crazy bike ride, we spent the rest of the day getting ready for our Family Pinewood derby ward party. Here are pics of the car the kids (IAN) made:-) Just a few arguments and cuss words later...WHA-LA. It didn't go very fast but it looks cute!!
Then Sunday Ian and I both woke up needing a Garrett fix-we love having him in Snowflake! The kids were really excited to take flowers and Easter stuff up! Ian
grabbed a quilt and we sat on the grass and decorated his garden!! I love the feeling of sitting there with ALL of my kidz!!
It was a fast but fun trip!! We got to see Grandpa's and Grandma and Uncle Tanner,Curtis and Aunt Melissa and cousins Deegan & Madison!! We are so blessed to have wonderful family! We love you all!!

What doesn't kill you will make you stronger...right?? Okay-So I know it doesn't really look that hard (the picture doesn't do it any justice). This is the first time I've tackled this hill called "king Kong". My girlfriend and I took off around 7:30 on Sat. morning and had a blast!! We went out through Red Mountain Ranch and down by the river where the bus drops off the tubers. All said and done it was about 44 1/2 miles!! The weather was great and the scenery was beautiful!! WOW-was I tired.

Finally they got to play in the snow!!!

Our poor "Valley kids" have been begging us to take them to the snow. So with this last storm that's what we did!! It's been awhile since we have had snow worth playing in. Ian and I were'nt shocked when we went through our "winter bag" to find the kids out grew their clothes. The other night Ian and I went to Dang WalMart to get winter clothes,ya know-boots,gloves maybe some bibs. It took us all of a few minutes to realize It's the end of Feb. and we are in "Mesa" standing next to the swimsuit rack. Duh-what were we thinking??
Anyway we threw what we had together (Brenner was a REALLY good sport about wearing Lacey's Barbie boots from last year)I was suprised, that tells you how bad he just wanted to play in the snow!!
Grandpa Willie came along and memories were made!! What a fun day-for us city folk:-)

I thought it really would'nt be that big of a deal to keep up with my Blog.
WHAT was I thinking...I can barely keep up with my thoughts. Life for us
is going really great!
Ian has been working really hard IN ST.CROIX. He has been traveling alot doing "business" in the Virgin Islands. He's really happy with his job and is awesome at what he does, I'm so proud of him. Here are some
pics of his "work"!!
The kids are all doing great..Brenner just turned 7, and Bryant just turned 5. Having BOY birthday parties (I'm finding) are ALOT of work.
Lacey is growing up SO fast. She is on honor roll in school and is one B away from straight A's!! She helps me SO much with the babies and is getting to be quite the chef.
THE BABIES....We all just adore them. We moved to the next stage of life this month..new carseats..new highchairs...new stroller. Having twins is just a little expensive!!
Kader is crawling everywhere. He is so busy we have another little Bryant on our hands. He says "DA-DA,BA-BA"... and "MA-MA" only when he REALLY needs something. The rougher the better with that kid..he's all Boy!
Princess Chloe Bug is exactally that...She just sit's and gets everything she needs. Kade makes her nervous. She screams everytime he gets in her comfort circle.
Some days she lets him climb all over her and other days he can't even look at her. Is that a GIRL for you or what. She is very serious all the time. She reminds me of Ian so much. And those of you who KNOW Ian know what I mean. She says "DA-DA and MA-MA" and is no where near crawling..If it take effort, forget it!! Ian says she looks just like Aunt Mandie-I saw pictures...I think he's right.
As for me I could'nt possibly happier. My life is so blessed. I am so thankful
for my wonderful husband and beautiful children. I love my life-it's hectic but that's exactly the way I wanted it!! Also it's finally warming up..that's means
I can get back on my bike again-the TOUR of PHOENIX is in 11wks..we'll see??
Well hopefully this give everyone a little update on the Smith Fam.
Can't wait for the next post-
