Thanksgiving 2008

We are so behind in blogging (sorry about that), so they will be brief. The family flew to Houston to spend Thanksgiving with Brant's family. We had such a good time watching all the kids play together.

Wishbone time!! Stories with Opa

Just wanted to share a video of our little "B" . Brynlee loves to sit around and grunt like a baby gorilla. She loves to hang out in her diaper and be the center of attention. Don't know where she gets that.

The Smith's visit & losing second tooth

Brant and his family visited from Houston and the cousins had an amazing time together. We visited a scary Halloween house down the street from MiMi's, and the boys thought it was great. Cousin Holton came down on Saturday to play, so we got to get some shots with all the kids. We ended the weekend by stopping in a cotton field for a few more pics. The kids thought that was super! It was such a fun weekend. The topping of the weekend was Carter got to get his second tooth pulled while his cousins watched.

First Food

Brynlee got to start fruits, so we feed her some bananas. It took a few times, but she loves them. She is already growing up to fast!

More PV Pics

Here are the rest of our pics from PV. The animals were right after we got off the Zip lines. Jennifer really did not like the snake, but we were all troopers!

1st Annual Halloween Party

Carter had a costume party for his friends yesterday, and the kids had a blast. The kids did a scavenger hunt, pumpkin toss & a pumpkin relay race. Carter was so excited to have all his friends come over in all their costumes. All in all the 1st annual party was a success, see you all again next year.

Mexico Pics Part 1

We had a wonderful time in Mexico with our friends Jennifer & Conan. The resort was amazing, and the view from our room was the best. We did nothing but lay by the pool or beach and relax. We went out one night to a club, and they had an acrobat group preform from the ceiling. This was one amazing trip!!! We will have more pics from the ZIP line adventure when we get them from Jennifer.

Back From Mexico

We made it back from paradise, and it was amazing. When we get the rest of the photos from Jennifer, we will post them. This is one of our favorites though.

Another 1st for Carter

CARTER HAS LOST HIS FIRST TOOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!

Papa & Nina came by to visit, and Carter let Papa pull his tooth. He was so brave (after a little coaxing of course). He never even felt it come out, and he loved looking at the blood coming out. Oh what a sign of the changing times at the Smith house. Time goes too fast!

Jealous Yet!!

We leave tomorrow morning at 6:00am for Mexico. We have heard nothing but great things about the resort in Puerto Vallarta, and can not wait. We are a little anxious to leave the kids for that long, but we need it! They are staying with their MiMi, so they will be plenty spoiled and loved on. Can't wait to share it all with you when we get back.

Spirit Week

C.T. Elementary had spirit week for homecoming this week, that ended with all of the elementary kids going to the pep rally. If you can believe it, they were louder than the high school kids. They had a blast, but of course we did not bring our camera (great parents we are). Here are a couple of what Carter wore to school. His arm bad is the one Kayli gave him last year, and he thought he was pretty cool.

Our Little DoodleBug

MeMaw Kay (Ms. Follis) gave Brynlee this outfit, and we just loved it. Such a little cutie!!

Bragging on Carter

These are a few weeks old, but we finally got our camera back. We are so prod of Carter's swimming this summer. By the end of the summer, he was going off the boards, ansd swimming without his floaties. That was a huge milestone for us all!!

Smith Family Water Park

Carter & Brynlee's cousins came to visit a few weeks ago. We got Carter a water slide, and that thing has been going ever since. It is a great baby sitter. Cousin Holton & the Parker girls came down to join in on the fun. As you can see daddy wanted in on the slide as well.
