Christmas 2010

Well I've created a share site on shutterfly and I thought it would be interesting to use the "share to blogger" feature! Looks like you get a slideshow of my images! Someday I will figure

out the best way to use all this technology in the same place, but for now I'm still playing around with all the options!

We had a nice Christmas Eve in Frisco with Joel's family... Mass, lots of playing the Wii with the cousins, and of course plenty of presents! Had to try and get a few shots in with the newest cousin, Linda Grace, who is now 8 months! She was great during Mass but was about done with pictures by the time we got home. But the other girls in the family are still hams for the camera :) Then we headed home so Santa could come, and had a nice relaxing Christmas day with just the Smith 4 and did our own presents after breakfast. Highlights - Kenna's very own new suitcase and Adelyn's Rapunzel dress! We went to see the movie today and she was so excited!

Hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday, and best wishes to all for a wonderful New Year!

Adelyn always makes herself at home in the car... shoes off listening to the new dvd player in the minivan :)

Officially baptized...

Sunday, December 5, 2010

Even though Joel said he baptized the girls in the bathtub as babies, we decided to make it official with the church! What made the day even more special is we had them baptized in the church we were married in, alongside Joel's niece (7 months old) and the baby boy of some very close friends of ours (he's only 8 months old!)... Was a great day for all the families and certainly one I think my girls will remember :) We had never met this priest before, but he was

wonderful and involved all the families and extended members as well... was very interesting baptizing the big girl, but as nervous as she was she seemed happy when it was all said and done!

My princesses!

Our good news!

Baby Smith #3 is doing good, and latest sonogram confirmed it is still a boy! So the hunt is on for a name, and figuring out how to get ready for a baby again... Due date is still April 19th, so I'll be missing the end of the school year, but will have all summer to enjoy our new addition before school starts up again!

My little artist

Everyday after school Kenna takes to decorating my dry erase boards while she waits for me to finish up working... my students like coming in the morning and seeing her latest creation... some of my favorites:

Where does the time go?

Not only have I not taken many pictures in the last, oh. month and a half, I haven't found 5 minutes to sit down and get them off the camera and onto the blog! At least my phone shares photos with Facebook, but I have yet to find a good Android program that will let me post form my phone! So here are some pics to catch up from October... then I hope to catch up on all this stuff during my upcoming Christmas break - can't wait!!

'Grandma Blakely' getting ready for Halloween! The girls really wanted her to go trick-or treating with us, but we headed to my sister's for the evening so she got to guard the house while we were gone :)

My cupcake loving Ladybug Girl!

Trunk or Treat at school - don't let the faces fool you - they had a blast! Just weren't sure where to go first!!

Halloween with cousin Peyton! Nice weather and a Saturday night made it quite an enjoyable evening! Nemo, Sparkle witch, and Ladybug Girl...

A visit from the firefighters for National Night Out - the kids were so excited to climb up in the truck!

Hey everybody!

We have been thankful lately for good health, good jobs, and good times with family... More pictures to come soon!
