My Baby is getting BIG!

I took Brooklyn to her 2 month visit. She now weighs 9lbs 7oz. She's getting huge!!! Where has the time gone????

Brooklyn's Blessing, Padan goes to Snow, Three Babies

This past weekend we blessed Brooklyn. It was a fantastic day!!! She looked absolutely beautiful. Wanda (my sis in law) made her the prettiest dress I have ever seen. When she gave it to me, I told her is was prettier than the wedding dress she made me.
Barry gave a wonderful blessing. We were so proud of him for doing such a great job. Then after wards we went to my parents house for lunch. Of course we took tons of pictures. Here are a few...


After dinner, my oldest Nephew Padan jumped in his car and took off to Snow College. He was so excited to get there. He is going to major in something to do with film making. So when he's nice and rich and living in Hollywood, he better remember me.
And finally, we had a fun photo opportunity with the three new babies in the family. Ruby who is 6 months, Brooklyn 8weeks, and Bridger 2 weeks. Oh so fun and dang cute!!!!

Pictures to Be Added Later

So I can't add any pictures because I am too lazy to plug my camera into the computer. Lame excuse I know but what are you going to do.

My sister Wendy had her baby a week ago. Exactly 6 weeks after I had Brooklyn. They named him Bridger. My other sister Cathy cracked the joke we have a "Brooklyn Bridger!" ha ha!! Go ahead and laugh I think it's funny. He's super cute and too see pictures of him, just visit her ( Wendy's) blog or wait for me to get a few up.

Drill practice has also started up for us again. Let me tell you after three weeks of averaging 3-4 hours of sleep, I am starting to crash!! I hope I live.

More good news. We decided that we are taking our kids out of the Day Care center Andrew has been going to for the past two years. The cost was a killer. My beautiful niece Sierra happened to be in need of a job. So we are going to have her come to the house each day. It will be fabulous and Andrew LOVES her so much. He's calls her his Seba. It's super cute.

I will work on the picture thing at a later time. No promises school starts in a week!!!!!!!!!!!!

My Family Reunion and Harry Potter!!

Neither has to do with the other but I thought I would just mention the fact that I really loved the new Harry Potter movie. We saw it with KSL on the afternoon before it came out. I thought it was way funny and had some action and of course sadness. My niece Sierra came with us and of course we both cried at the end. What more can I say we are both cry babies.

Now for the reunion. This past weekend was our biannual Smithen Family Reunion. We had it at this place called the Rockin R Ranch in Antimony Utah. It was great fun. My sis Wendy was in charge and did a stellar job at organzing it. There was horse back riding, tubing, hiking, four wheeling, archery, and swimming. But the best part was the family rodeo. Barry did the barrel racing and if it hadn't been for his shoulder surgery, he would have done the calf riding. I just did the relay race and had to throw cow poop! Gross. Here are some pictures from the enjoyable event.

My Relay Team!!
This is my favorite picture of my nephew Padan riding the calf!!
Yee Haw!

Facebook

So I just signed up for this facebook thing and I don't get it. Is it possible that I am that dumb? Ok so don't answer that question. But if someone could explain it's usefulness to me that would be great. In advance, Thanks for the help.

Way To Go Jake!!

Today we had the great opportunity to see my nephew Jake ordained a priest. We are so proud of him. Congrats Jake!!!

Baby Stuff

Great news for all of you gals that just had a baby!! My sister Wendy and sis-in-law Wanda are starting this great business to buy baby gear. As of right now they are calling it Mom's on the Go. You must check out their blog themomonthego.blogspot.com
They have pictures posted of a few of their items. There are many more in the works. They have this one awesome idea that they are going to patent that you will love if you have park near by or a swing set in your own back yard. I can't tell you what it is yet but stay tuned to be the first to purchase this amazing product.
They will be selling nursing covers, baby slings, car seat cabanas, burp clothes, tutu's, nap mats, bags for girls and boys that teach them zipping, buttoning, tying, etc. All of their products are so much cheaper than buying them at ritzy baby stores. I have to say their pricing is very competitive and fair. Keep an eye on their blog for new products to be posted. If you want to buy anything, let them know. It's truly great stuff!!
