Penny says "hi"

Penny just wanted to say hi on the blog. So here she is saying "hi".

Easter

After feeding the cows, the Easter suit photo shoot and of course church we went to Ryan's parent's house on Easter for dinner and an egg hunt.















Our last family picture of just the 3 of us. (8 hours before Penny was born)















I have a hard time buying Easter baskets, Graham will forever get a sand bucket on Easter.















The egg hunt triggered the contractions. But I didn't take them seriously because I thought it was just because I was moving around a lot. Silly me.















Like cousin, like cousin. Graham and Landon seem to have both been looking at something very bright.















Smith side cousins minus Riley. Front row: Graham, Landon, Ellie, Chloe, Macey and Jackson. Back row: Brooklyn, Livi, Hank, Brayden and Adri.




















Graham takes eating jelly beans very seriously.















And of course some football with Dad.

Easter photo shoot

Here are some shots of G in his Easter suit.













































































And lastly sporting a more relaxed look with the shorts and sandals.

Feeding Cows

Ryan got to feed the cows for some friends on Easter weekend. He and Graham went on Saturday morning together and I went with them Sunday morning. Graham loved feeding the cows.

Baby Penelope

Here are some pics of our newest addition to the family, Penelope (or Penny). Thanks for all the well wishes. We'll post more pics soon.

Let the tantrums begin

It's hard to believe that this sweet little boy is the same little boy that threw a fit today in Target. The little lady growing in my stomach is due in 6 days so we were at Target browsing through the nursing bras when all of a sudden Graham started emptying the bins of thongs nearby. While I tried to stop him he started screaming around and getting all floppy and yes throwing thongs at me. Finally, I was able to calm him, but oh brother, thong throwing! What will he think of next?! Good thing he is so darn cute and loves to snuggle.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

We love St. Patrick's Day around here. Okay, maybe it's just me.




















I was especially excited to make green pancakes for Graham this year. However, he really wanted blue pancakes so it took him a long time to even try the green ones. He ended up eating his favorite cereal, "Hucky Charms", also known as Lucky Charms.















When Graham got out his bowl and spoon he found his St. Patrick's Day present from Lily and Lenny (his leprechauns). He loved that there was a surprise in the drawer but the excitement soon faded. He doesn't want anything to do with the green cabbage patch baby.















Oh well, maybe I should have made blue pancakes and gotten him the green football I was originally going to get him. But this boy needed a baby to practice with. After this excited picture of him finding the baby he put it back in the drawer and closed it. He doesn't like to talk about babies, what are the chances that things will change in the next two weeks?
