Little Scooter

Aparently my kiddos like to start moving right away. Jo did the same thing when she was only a week or two, except William digs his feet into the ground a little more. William has VERY strong little legs.

Smith's Visit

Wednesday after William was born, the Smith's came to visit.
Here is Grandpa with William

Jo had lots of fun playing with R.Dee while they were here.

William giving grandma big hugs.

All the excitement wore the kids out pretty well!

Grandma and Grandpa brought playdough for the kiddos, and Jo fell in love. (Grandpa and R.Dee made these not her)

Yes, it is sideways but I'm not going to fix it. Sorry.

William Ezra Smith

On Sunday, June 6th at 8:55 we were blessed with a new little baby boy, William. He was 9 lbs 12 oz, and 21 inches long, a big healthy boy! Here are a few pictures from the hospital.
Mommy and William:

Gran came and watched Jo while we were in the hospital, but she did come up a few times to see her new grandson! (He has dark red hair, you can kind of tell in this picture)

Big sister Jo holding her baby brother for the first time, she was so excited to see him!

I love this picture because you can get a small glimpse of just how excited Jo is to be able to see her baby brother!

Daddy rocking his little boy to sleep.

Last but not least-the whole family!

Easter weekend

Playing at the Primary Easter activity.

Dancing with Daddy.

We went out to the Jones's for Easter weekend. Jo loves to sit outside and swing with Gran and Papa.

Looking for Easter eggs in the backyard, I think she missed looking with Calli this year, but she still had lots of fun.

Dyeing eggs



Here she is with the eggs she colored and decorated, she was so pleased with herself.

Smith visit

Grandma and Grandpa Smith came for a weekend visit just after Easter! Jo was super excited to see them again.

She really warmed up to Grandma right away and had lots of fun with her.

Grandma got a "pretty princess dress" for Jo to wear at Daniel and Missy's wedding reception. We tried it on her to see how it fit and Jo fell in love, especially when she noticed how well it spun!

Reading stories with Grandma.

Grandpa brought out a headboard and a couple nightstands for Josh and me. (they are super nice!) and Jo had fun playing around in the nightstands before they got put in the room. Grandpa also helped fix a few chairs that were broken and Jo is still going around telling everyone who comes over that Grandpa fixed this or that, and he is good at fixing things.

Josh really wanted to go to this big park that's pretty close to our house but we've never actually been to, and decided we should go while his parents were here. It looked like they had alot of fun!

Gran's visit

A couple weeks ago we had a false alarm and thought baby boy was coming so we called up Gran and had her come out to watch Jo. While he ended up not coming after all, we had lots of fun playing with Gran for a few days and Jo was very sad when she left. Here are a few cute pictures of them.

Jo loved playing with Gran's hair (and I don't think Gran minded to much either!)

Josalyn loves singing ALL the time, so she was very happy when Gran taught her a new song about birds, especially since it had hand motions to go with it. She isn't to happy that I can't do it with her cause I don't know it. I guess I will have to learn it this next week when Gran is out again.

Thank you mom for being so amazing!

This last week Jo and Loralyn went out to Katy to visit Mandi, Sam, ad Marie. We had lots of fun, and Jo was very excited to play with her cousins for once. We have been able to talk to and see them through skype over the past year or so which made it so Jo knew who they were, but it hasn't been the same as playing with them. They had lots of fun, although I think Jo was a little possessive of Gran and all the toys/books that she is used to having to herself out there. I am pretty sure Gran enjoyed the possessiveness of her, since it got Jo to sit with her more. (heaven forbid Sam get to sit on Grans lap by himself!)























Sam and Jo had fun playing together, but Marie wanted in on the game too, so it didn't last as long as it could have. It was fun to see them playing together and interacting!


















We brought down our old dishes and play food, which the kids loved, so they had a little tea party, for lack of a better term.


















Playing in the springy ball thing.
