Crazy/Spooky Hair Day

Kazia's school didn't let them dress up for Halloween but they had a crazy/spooky hair day instead. This is what we came up with. A spiderweb with spiders. She loved it!

Black Island Farm

We went with Erin's joy-school group to Black Island Farm. When we first got the the farm they were doing pig races. It was fun to watch and the girls loved it. The we loaded up on the trailer to go pick pumpkins. These Smith girls are definitely going to be fighting off boys all their lives...or should I say their dad's are in for it. :)
Just leaving the main station....next stop...the pumpkin field.
Jade spotted her perfect pumpkin rather quickly.
Kazia, on the other hand, took a while and some convincing that there was a "perfect" pumpkin for her. Kazia's super happy grin was short lived. She threw a fit when I wouldn't let her sit in the middle right away because I wanted a picture. I almost don't want to take her anywhere. Jade was happy to rub her great attitude in Kazia's face. I just love that kid! Even if she is a little rotten :)
After picking pumpkins we took pictures by this cool old wooden wagon surrounded by pumpkins. Cooper had fallen asleep but still got to be in the picture.
The girls played in the bounce house, took a ride on the cow-train,
and went on the large slides.
Overall we had a great outing but it was a little hot and we were really hungry when we left.

8 Weeks Old!

Can you believe it? I can't. Cooper is 8 weeks old today. He just looked so handsome after his bath that I thought I'd do a mini photo shoot.Don't you just love his mini faux hawk? It's kinda hard to see but it's super long....to trim or not to trim. He's only 8 weeks old but his hair is already so long. Hhhhmmm. I just love his smiles. He's been smiling for a couple of weeks now and I just love it. He's also starting to coo. :)
What a happy boy!

Cooper's Blessing

The blessing went well and I'm glad we were able to share this day with a lot of family...including the one's from Canada and Cali.
Jade, Kate, and Chloe having fun on our play toy "the park".
Jessica, Megan, Josee, Sarah, Karla, Cooper, Josh, Alex, Eric, Kazia, and Kade (on the table).
Sarah, Barb, and Megan...aren't they gorgeous!?!

Marcheta, Cooper, Bicki, Kazia, and Susan. It was so nice getting to see them. We haven't seen them since the day after we left the hospital with Jade on Kazia's birthday.

The food was awesome and it was great getting to entertain at our home...we've never done this before. Thanks Mom, Dad, Aunt Barbie, Uncle Dewey, Aunt Linda, and Uncle Richard for all the great food and awesome set up!

Kazia's First Day of Kindergarten

I can't believe Kazia is in public school. She has grown so fast. She's been extremely excited to start Kindergarten for months and the day has finally arrived! Kazia has such a zest for life and is ready to jump in feet first.
She's heading into the school. They have a different route they'd like the kindergarteners to follow so I took her in to make sure she knew how to get there and find her class and such.
She found her hook and hung her backpack and jacket...
Then found her seat. My little baby is all grown up!
So I have to admit I forgot Weber County has early out Wednesday instead of Friday so I got a phone call from her teacher while I was at Costco letting me know Kazia had been left at school and that she'd be in the office. On the first day of school!!!! Luckily Mike was home on bereavement leave and was able to pick her up quickly. She also wasn't devastated and understood what happened. She still knows that we love her. Yippee!

Jade's First Day of Preschool

She was so stickin' cute and super excited. As it worked out she had her first day of school a day before Kazia started Kindergarten.
On her way to class...
She hung up her backpack and sweater and is ready to take a little "first day of school" treat to her teacher and start learning.

She loved it!

The night before Cooper

This was our last night before Cooper was born. We had a great time making smores on our BBQ.
One fat mama...

and 2 wanna be's.
