Classic Julie

So Julie was relaxing watching a movie and I thought she looked so cute I had to take the picture. I went into the hallway, got the camera and laid down on the floor across the room to take her picture. Gabe lays down beside me and is being the step by step commentator.Align Center So, as I am thinking, she is sooo cute! She begins...
Yes, picking her nose. She used to have her finger in her nose 24/7. She doesn't anymore, but occasionally it still catches her fancy. I just kept on taking pictures.

Then, gag a maggot! She eats it! At this time, Gabe is busting a gut laughing! He is like, she just picked her nose and ate it.
With all of Gabe's laughing, she finally noticed me taking pictures. This is one that I think again, she is soo cute! How funny are kids!

Miss Tinkerbell!

One thing I didn't think about with the music is that it might overlap with the video audio. So make sure you go to the bottom of the page and pause the music. :)

So...she is another Smith child that fully enjoys her food! She was laughing and making the cutest little faces I had to flip it! She is getting so big and still is such a sweet little girl. We sure do love her! Hard to believe my youngest is closing in on one!

Remembering!

So I have been wanting to put music on our blog for a while now and finally sat down and figured out how. As I was making my playlist I came across the Shania song, "No One Needs to Know" I just started smiling and singing. You see, when Toby and I started dating, I would shut myself in a bathroom and sing it. Okay, I was the oldest of what?, umm, 12 and didn't have alot of privacy. So I would shut myself in one of the bathrooms and sing. Thinking about it now makes me laugh, because although I felt secluded I am sure everyone could hear me! Anywhoo, it is funny to think about this song YEARS later and think, Cassie, you were right on! Hee Hee!
I LOVE YOU, TOBIAS WESLEY SMITH! YOU ARE STILL A HOTTIE! :)

So here is the kitchen, here is our kitchen nook/school area. :)

Where momma makes the delicious meals!


So this isn't the kitchen, but the kids had some oranges with breakfast and showed me how they can be just like Papa Smith.

The house.

Okay, for those of you who haven't seen our house ever or in a long time, here is a little tour.
It is 101 years old and really is a nice little house. It has 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. The basement is unfinished. We decided that we would try to sell it. If we don't, we will consider that God's answer, finish the basement and happily live here for as long as He wants us to. We have been working hard on it. This has been such a good house for us. Our first house with so many good memories. This is the house that we brought all of our children home from the hospital to. We appreciate your prayers for wisdom in this new adventure! :)
The kids room! As of right now Gabe, Julie, and Noah sleep here. If we don't sell than Belle will be added to this room. Luckily they are all still little and it gives us time to finish up the basement if needed. This is Gabe and Julie's bed.
This is Noah's bed with Noah in it! :)

The kids closet.
This is the hallway that has all of this lovely storage!
Our bathroom.
Our bedroom.


The Living Room where our family fun is had indoors,

From the living room looking into the kitchen.

So I am taking a break from cleaning up my kitchen to post this, so no pics of the kitchen yet. We are very excited about all of this. It is so nice to have the peace of knowing I serve a Sovereign God who has my best in His plan. We are excited to see what God does with this all!

Easter

No, this wasn't Noah's Easter outfit, but one day he insisted on wearing it. He is cute even in a dress! :)So, we are at Grandma Walton's house. This is Polly and when she is excited she sometimes jumps. They have a newspopper and if you are holding it she behaves. Whenever we go over there Noah gets the newspopper. Uncle Joe thought this was so funny! So here Uncle Joe. Now you can always remember the newspopper.

Auntie Bethie and Belle were fast friends.


Uncle Joe (we were so glad they came for Easter!)
Here is Belle's new scrunchy face. Beth is sure she is smiling so big because she is finally with her real family. :)
Listening to the Easter Egg Hunt instructions.

There was a little kid section and a big kid section. These are the little guys. Gabe, Julie, Noah and our very good friend and cousin, Seth.
Seth was very sweet and helped Noah get some eggs!
Julie with some of the treasure!
The four little guys. Looking for some eggs.


Noah enjoyed the hunt alot!
Yes, the classic Julie picture, crazy hair and all!
Belle hung out with Papa while the hunt was taking place. You can see they can hardly stand each other!


Somehow I didn't get a picture of Toby, but there was a picture of me taken. How weird! Anywhoo, this is Leah and I! We went Easter outfit shopping together. Thank you, mom for the outfits.
I hope that your Easters were wonderful and most of all that you remembered the reason for it! Thank you Christ for your extreme sacrifice for such a dirty worm like me. May my lips forever sing your praise and righteousness!


The girls.

So, we need a guitar player in our family get togethers. I am training Belle to take this position! :) She is really serious about it!At Grandma Walton's house, Julie walked up to me like this and I just had to take a picture. I can't look at this picture and not laugh!



Bathtime!

It amazes me how fast they grow up! It doesn't seem like that long ago he was little and chunky taking his bath. Sigh!Yes, bathtime is thoroughly enjoyed!
Here is our Mr. Blue eyes. Bathtime is a favorite because he can be "nana".

All three cheesing for the camera.

Grandma's Birthday.

Okay, so I got the camera out a little late. By the time I thought about it we had already done the cake and presents. By this time, the kids were getting balloons. Noah was trying to blow up his balloon. He didn't succeed, but it was sure cute watching him try!

Yes, this Daddy loves his kids!
Uncle Monty got roped into blowing up the balloons.

Miss Julie.


Our beautiful grandma. We are so glad she is healing up and able to enjoy her birthday.Our Papa relaxing at the table after delicious spinach pie!

Gabe found out he could blow the balloons up himself! To say he was proud would be a ginormic understatment!
We tried not to make her laugh to much! I know it doesn't feel great, but very happy she was having a good time!
"The boys" came. I didn't get any pictures of them, but their parents were there as well! :)
Happy Birthday our sweet mother! I am so sorry to be contagious :), but I am very glad you are getting back to your normal self! We love you so much and I feel it a privilege to be your daughter and friend! This will be a great year, I can just tell! Love you so much!
How does it feel to be 35?
