Smith Family

Audrey perfers to sleep on the floor... not really sure what to do about it. Apparently she is too good for the $15 Dora bed from a garage sell.

Pete worked with Scott at Wells Fargo and they work together again at Everest College and are really good buddies. It's kinda funny because I grew up with Scott living right behind me, so it was kinda random they became such good buddies. They invited us over the other day to play the Wii and eat some ice cream. Brinley and Audrey are about a year apart and play pretty well together. Audrey is definently 2 and is learning how to play with friends. Brinley and Audrey kinda have the same personality They let us borrow this Bumbo chair, and it is amazing! I couldn't bring myself to buy one for $40 when he'll only use it till he can sit up so I was thrilled. He loves it! If it seems like Audrey is never clothed you would be 100% correct. I can't keep anything on this child. It's only when we are at home... but unfortunantly that's when I take most pictures.

SO, I found my cord to the computer. This camera has pictures since well... Christmas. I debated whether or not to post them, Pete said it was a bad idea and he was probably right because it took FOREVER. But, I went ahead and did it anyways.

Makes me laugh? YES!

Audrey had a hard time with the move, especially sleeping at nights. We moved on Saturday and worked REALLY hard finding everything for church and making ourselves look presentable. We drove around our neighborhood for 30 min trying to find our church. We found 10 other church buildings all within a mile radius but couldn't find ours. Once it was 15 min past our church time we looked back and Audrey was out. We decided to skip church for the day to let our little peanut get some much needed sleep.

We went to the homestead for the 4th and had a lovely time. We went to Show Low for the parade, it was lots of fun!

Okay, I'll be the first to admit I did a terrible job in the picture taking department on Brandon's blessing day... woops! Pete did a really wonderful job and gave a beautiful blessing. Brandon didn't cry at all and he looked really cute in his outfit until he threw up all over it so we had to change him after church. And THIS is the only shot we have of him in his blessing outfit At least I got one of Audrey... awesome... what was I THINKING?! This was still his blessing day, just in a different outfit. Cute shot with Grandma Carolyn

We moved about 3 weeks ago, and let me tell you it is NOT fun with a 2 year old and a 2 month old. On one hand it's kinda nice in that I got out of some of the actual moving, BUT really annoying in that I feel like I can't get anything done! We are gradually getting unpacked and feeling more at home here. We really like it here and are happy to be done with the moving, we just need to go through a few more boxes and have a gigantic garage sell.

I'm so bummed this is turned the wrong way because he looks so cute! I just wanna eat him!

Seriously this was probably one of the worst days of my life. Brandon was only about a month old and Audrey got the flu, BAD. I've never seen anybody throw up so much in their lives, it was heartbreaking. I think the whole month of June somebody in our family was sick, it was terrible.

Seriously? Seriously.

In March Isabel came to visit from Australia. We are excited for them to move here next month :)

Here is our traditional Valentine's meal at Denny's... SO romantic!

My little peanut is two. I remember being somewhat emotional this morning, granted I was pregnant, but I couldn't believe my baby was 2 and it was her last birthday being an only child. After breakfast we started making cupcakes for her party. We got ready and then hit the town . We went to Claires to get some fun jewlery to wear for her party. I asked her what she wanted for lunch and she said fries. So the good mom that I am took her on down to Arby's to get some fries :) We finished decorating cupcakes. And made a mess of them. Took a bath and then got ready to party. Is this not the cutest picture ever? She LOVES her Granny Jules.

Two of my good friends from Casa Grande both have girls born on the same day as Audrey, but all one year apart. Isn't that so crazy?! We thought it would be fun to have a birthday party with all 3 of them. Riley turned 1, Audrey 2 and Maysa 3. The kids had a lot of fun. This is the only picture I got of all 3 of them, and it's not even a good one darn it!

Grandma Carolyn sends THE BEST packages ever! What is better than getting a lovely package delivered to your door? This is Audrey getting her birthday package, she was delighted! You probably can't tell, but she was jumping up and down with excitement. Playing with her new toys. Grandma Carolyn always knows just the right thing to get Audrey. It seems like whatever present she gives Audrey, it becomes one of her favorites.
