Takes me back...

This look takes me back to my elementary school days... those of you who knew me then should see why. Wearing these glasses made Smith's whole day... and yes he learned how to pick his nose this week. He totally thought he was cool

His first phrase that he says all day is "where'd it go?" as he makes this face and holds his hands out...

HAPPY EASTER!

Check out my handsome lil man in his buttered toast easter tie. We had such a fun easter. Grandma Laura came out last week and brought easter gifts and today we had a hunt with Grandpa Craig. It was so fun to celebrate easter sunday in our new ward and finally meet some people :) apparently the houses in our neighborhood are considered the "easter egg houses" so it felt appropriate today letting people know we live in one of the easter egg houses on Shady Hollow. 

Our newest addition

my guys

I really love my boys. I cant get enough of Smith in this hat, and I love watching the two of them bond (even if it means Smith is feeding dad instead of dad feeding Smith). I think they are the cutest pair, and that KC is the best, most hard working, and dedicated dad. He has done so much for us lately and we are so proud of him and thankful for him.  I also can't wait to add another boy to this bunch. Keep em comin! I cant get enough!!

ITS A BOY!

We are so excited to announce that Smith is going to have a little BROTHER! 

At the park

Now that the weather is finally nice (at least for now) I feel so liberated! I have so much more energy and Smith loves to go outside and play. Especially when he has friends to play with! There were way too many cute pictures to choose from...

My best friend teddy

Life can be lonely without a friend to play with...

good thing I have my best friend teddy!

Hes even my size!

A taste of spring...

Today Smith and I went out to explore the driveway. Its amazing how many things can entertain a one year old. I loved watching him enjoy everything outside.

Trying to decide if he wanted to wear his shoes or not...

His first "taste" of spring... mud

Walking isnt as easy as it looks

but it sure gets him places!!

Happy Birthday to the best little guy in the world!

Today we celebrated Smith's 1st birthday! (Its actually tomorrow) He was so cute as he gobbled down his cupcake and even licked his fingers. He takes after his mother the sweet tooth.

As you can see by some of the pictures he was a little tired because he refused to take an afternoon nap before his party. He must have known what was coming!

This year Smith has learned so many things. His personality is spunky and crazy just like his dad. He started walking a couple of weeks ago, but now is back to just crawling. He still takes steps here and there, but just must think crawling is more fun. He has added another word to his vocab: DOG. he loves dogs, and loves to bark every time he sees any animal. He got his first haircut this week (longtime overdue) and still loves to flirt with the ladies. We cant get enough of this little man. I feel so in love every time I see him or think of him (so pretty much constantly) I feel so incredibly blessed to have him as my baby boy and know he is a very special little kid that will grow up to do great things.

We love you Smitty, Happy Birthday!

Got it!

We are so excited to let you all know we found a home!! Our offer was accepted today and we should be moving in the 27th of this month. yey!

Birthday preview...

I had to make Smith's birthday invitations today so we did a little photo shoot. He was so excited to get outside! Hopefully I will be able to do a more exciting photo shoot soon when I have daddy to help :)

is it weird...?

That we cant find a house? Its supposed to be the "best time to buy" right now and we thought selling would be the hard part! As most of you know we put our house on the market and sold it in less than a month which is totally unheard of these days, so we thought maybe we were supposed to hurry and move and that a new house would be just waiting for us to move in... well, we were wrong. I feel guilty even whining about it because it really is such a blessing that we are able to live in my parents house and save money and we have been blessed in every aspect of our lives. So for those of you who are going to just roll your eyes and say, "oh Hannah, you have it sooo easy, count your blessings", just pretend you never read this. Everyone has a right to vent once in a while right? ha ha.  Living out of boxes and not having a space to call your own really takes its toll after a while. Smith even acts unsettled here! Maybe its time to just unpack and set up the crib, and accept that we are in this for the long haul! waaaa waaa waaa. I know...

Passport mugshot

We are heading to Mexico in April and I just found out that we now have to get a passport for Smith! Its so funny for me to think he will have his own little passport. I was laughing pretty hard today as he posed for his mugshot. It was nearly impossible to get him to hold still and turn his head how I needed it. What do you think of Smith's first passport photo?

1 year older and wiser too!

At least I have bambi to keep me company

I may not get a lot of human visitors in this house but I do get my share of animal visitors. This morning there was a huge blue jay out my window, and this evening as I was doing dishes I glanced up and locked eyes with this enormous beast in my back yard. It scared me half to death, but once I realized what I was looking at I grabbed my camera and made bambi famous again. 

Wild child

today Smith found a colored pencil and did a little artwork

Bath time here means filling a tupperware box with water in the shower. Smith doesnt know the difference... He just loves his baths!

Hanging on my leg... as usual.
