Hannah

I was going through some photos from last year and I just had to post a few of Hannah. She is seriously the cutest, funniest little girl I know. She is constantly making me laugh. Her funny smile, her obsession with shoes, hats, purses, clothes. Her new thing this month is her "own language" she has made up. I ask her what she wants for lunch and she says, "ookabookagooha." I guess that means cheese sandwich. Funny Girl!

SLEDDING!

This past weekend we went to Bear Lake with Jason's family. We had a great time. The kids went sledding and when they weren't doing that, they were swimming in the indoor pool. Here are a few shots of the kids sledding.

Thanks Dad & Mom Smith for the condos, we had a great time!!

This is the look Parker gave me after I told him to stop eating snow. He was not to pleased.
Jas & Hanny ready to go down the hill. Hannah had no fear of sledding. She kept wanting to go again and again, the only part she didn't enjoy was carrying the tube up the hill.

Kayla & Alexis climbing the snow mountain.

Kayla & Parker having tons of fun!
Brett catching some air!

Lisa was going so fast down the hill. She got some good air when she hit the jump. It was great!

Emma & Hannah were so CUTE! They loved going down the hill together.
No, this is not an avalanche, this is me going down the hill & getting a blizzard in my face. My sled was tearing up the hill. It was hilarious.

Mommy & Hanny ready for sledding.
I love this picture. Parker & Scott really enjoyed playing together this weekend.

Sara was so little and cute going down the hill on this big tube.
Grandma Smith at the bottom of the hill, helping all the little ones back up for another run.

We had so much fun. Thanks Smith Fam for a great weekend, we can't wait to see you all again!!

Snowy Trees

Driving through the Canyon on our way home from Bear Lake was so beautiful. The blue sky and the dark trees covered with white snow was so amazing. I just had to take a few pictures. On our way back to Preston we saw a bald eagle, deer, wild turkeys and of course many horses, cows and sheep. The kids loved seeing all the animals and watching the snow fall from the trees.

Hangin' Out

This past weekend we went to Bear Lake and stayed in a condo with Jason's family. We had a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed each other. I just had to post these pics of the kids. Kayla, Hannah and Alexis loved watching Hairspray on the little DVD player in the kids room. I think Hanny just loved hanging with the older girls. Parker, Scott, David and Papa Smith had fun playing Playstation. The kids got pretty good at playing Star Wars, Race Car Driving and the Incredibles. Parker really enjoyed having his cousins to play with . Parks and Hanny miss them already and can't wait to see them again.

Prince Charming & Cinderella

Hannah LOVES Disney Princesses and her favorite at the moment is Cinderella. She loves her. We watch the movie at least 1-2 times a day. Yesterday she asked Parker to play Princess with her. So, she opened her dress up box (Thank You Aunt Lindsey for the Princess dress up clothes) and put on her Cinderella outfit and then she found a gold sparkly crown in there for Parker to wear and she was so excited. She gave it to Parker and said, "Bubba, you Pince Chamin." It was hilarious. So then Hannah insisted that they dance. So they turned on the waltz on Hannahs new keyboard (Thanks Papa and Grammie Olson for the dance music) and the dancing began. They were laughing and having so much fun.

Parker is such a good big brother to Hannah. He is always watching Princess shows with her, playing barbies and babies with her when she asks. It makes me so happy that they love each other and get along so well. I love these two kids very much and I am so happy I get to be home to see the funny and cute things they do and say each day.

Prince Charming & Cinderella ready for the Ball.
You will see my kids on the next Dancing with the Stars.

Eating, Cleaning, Eating, Cleaning

Today I realized that if I am not feeding my kids, I am cleaning up after them. It is a never ending process of eating and cleaning.
For the past two weeks my children are eating us out of house and home. I don't know if they are having a growth spurt or what, but oh my gosh. STOP EATING! There is no need for 3 breakfasts, two lunches, a dinner and 15 snacks before bed time. It is seriously making me crazy.
The dishwasher did two loads today and that is not even counting the dishes I washed by hand. We went through a gallon of milk in 3 days. It is crazy! They are my little eating machines!

Christmas

Christmas this year (or I guess I should say last year, since this post is a little late), was so much fun. Parker and Hannah loved it. We went over to my parents on Christmas Eve and opened a few gifts and then we came home and had Christmas morning at our home for the first time and it was great. It was so much fun to watch the kids faces as they came down the stairs. I think Jason and I were more excited than they were. My parents, Grandma & sister Lindsey came over to watch them open their presents and I think PK and Han were a little nervous because everyone was staring at them, but they got over it once they started opening presents. My kids got spoiled this year. Not only by Santa, but by their grandparents and the rest of our families. Jason and I feel like our home has officially become Toys R Smith. We are sad the holidays are over, but we are very thankful that we were able to spend time with both mine and Jason's family. Thank You everyone for making our Christmas extra special!

Those presents were all for the kids. Bring on the Toys!
Hannah came down the stairs and saw her barbie house & it was all over. She did not want to open any more gifts. She absolutely loves her barbies and her barbie house.
Thanks Papa Olson for being Mr. Handy & making the barbie house, it is definitely Hanny's favorite present that she received.

Santa brought the kids a kitchen, so that they would have something to play with together. They definitely like it and have whipped up some pretty interesting dishes for me and Jason. My favorite is pizza with donuts on top and a side of carrots and pie.
The beloved barbie car with Ken and Sleeping Beauty going for a cruise.
Parker was thrilled when he opened his Optimus Prime Transformer.

My parents got Hannah Disney Princess Light Up Cowboy Boots. She loves them!

I just had to post this picture. Parker drew the nativity on his Magna Doodle that Nana gave him on Christmas Eve. I do have to say, that he is quite the little artist.
Hannah and Carter enjoying the gifts that Papa and Grammie gave them.
Carter in his Cars chair just relaxing. He looked so cute in his snowman PJ's.

We had a fantastic Christmas!! We hope you all did too!
