Our newest addition

Apologies to those that didn't know, but we just had our third little baby last february. He is absolutely adorable. We named him Gavin and he was 8.6 lbs and 21 inches long. There was no wonder he came 2+ weeks early with those measurements. He is such a good baby. He already sleeps through the night (which is a foreign thing for me since the other two didn't start that that early.) Mason and Emery just love him. They are constantly sharing their blankets and toys with him and Emery always tries to soothe him when he is crying. If her sweet words of "Gavin, its ok" don't quite cut it she turns to me and tells me, "Mom, Gavin needs special milk from your tummy."

It is amazing how much Gavin just eased right into our lives and our day to day routine. It feels like he has always been with us. I have decided that three has been the easiest so far. I will say that all of my free time is just about gone. That is probably why I am still awake and 1:51 am doing things like updating our blog, scrapbooking, and emailing. Those three definitely get pushed to the back burner the most. Well, for now I bid you all a good night.

Wedding time

About 3 1/2 weeks ago Stacey and Dan were married in the Bountiful Temple. We spent the whole day doing wedding stuff. Mason loved being at the temple. He and his Grandpa went inside and Mason informed him that you have to be quite in the temple. He kept singing the primary song "I love to see the Temple." It was really cute. It was a really fun day.

Mason's preschool graduation

Mason had his preschool graduation. He is only three and will have one again next year (a little more official then) but is was so cute. They got graduation hats and sang songs and had a cute little program. He is growing up all to fast.

Bees game

Jake took the kids to a Bees game one night when I was busy with YW stuff. They had so much fun. Jake always takes them places and does fun things with them. No wonder they love him so much. They loved riding the train out behind the field. Mason thought the bee mascot was pretty cool, but Emery thought differently. She is a little scared of him. What a fun time. My little family is so cute!!

Cruise time

I know it has been awhile, but I have free time now so here we go. Christmas was great. Fun time with family, lots of presents and all that jazz. Easter was very nice. Taught the kids was Easter is really all about. (As best we could anyway. :) May was the fun month. Jake and I went with Blake and Kristen on a 5 day cruise from San Diego out to Catalina Island then to Ensenada and back. (Well, the Ensenada stop was cancelled. Stupid swine flu!!) We had such a fun time. I must admit that I was a little nervous about the whole boat thing and me getting motion sick, but I was pleasantly suprised. I absolutely loved it. I loved just laying out on the deck and doing absolutely nothing. That is the way we like to vacation. We actually flew in a day early and went to Sea World with Uncle Roy and Aunt Karen. They are so much fun. We had a blast with them. It was like we had our own personal guide through the park. I love Sea World. That place is awesome. The whole trip was really relaxing. Just what we needed.

Family Pic

Ok, so when I blog I really BLOG. This is the last thing I have to post today I promise. We got our family pictures taken before we left for hawaii. I can never seem to get the two kids together long enough (and both happy about it) to snap a picture so its everyone or nothin'. So here is the 2008 Smith family presented to you!!!

Halloween fun

I know I am really late but here are some pictures of the kids this past halloween. We had fun going from house to house trick-or-treating. The kids had fun at the morning halloween party too. They made lots of fun treats and keepsakes to take home. Both sets of Grandparents came down to be with us. That really means a lot to Jake and I and our two munchkins. We love you guys. Look at how cute they are!!!
