Separate weekends?!?!?

I'm still trying to figure out what we were thinking by doing separate weekends.....
I drove about 4 hours to twin falls to
hang out with my friend Traci and her little girl
while Trent went fourwheeling/camping with his little brother.

While we both had so much fun I totally missed Trent
and Trent says that he missed me and Owen the whole time
he was fourwheeling :(
I'm not saying we didn't have fun
but it did let me know how much I love Trent
and miss him when he isn't around.


Traci and I went swimming, did some shopping,
went out to eat and did TONS of talking!
Owen actually let Traci hold him the second day
we were there and it made me so happy :)
We had a lot of fun!








Trent did one of his favorite things and that was exploring on his fourwheeler and hanging out with his littlest brother Jake :)

Happy 10 month birthday Owen!!!!!


Ok so seriously I know I say this almost every month
but I mean it every time I say it!
HOW DID 10 MONTHS GO BY SO FAST?!?!?!?!

My baby boy is 10 months old today and here is what he has done this month

1. He can stand up to just about anything!
2. He walks around furniture
3. He refuses to breastfeed anymore,
he thinks he is a big boy now and should get to hold his own bottle.
We fought over him quitting nursing but obviously he won
( Much to my own disappointment!)
4. He claps on command! This is so cute!
I have a video of it posted on Facebook if you want to check it out.
When I say "YEA OWEN!" He claps his little hands :)
5. His new favorite snacks are
Graham Crackers and the Gerber cheetoes :)
6. He can go from laying down to sitting and from sitting to laying down.
7. He still only army crawls but this mode of transportation
is good enough for him
and he can move rather quickly using the army crawl
8. He will imitate sounds you make... Bryce can get him to say the CH sound :)
9. His favorite thing to do in our bedroom is pulling out all the dvd's
10. Owen will belly laugh at something you do but he will only laugh at it once and they he is no longer impressed with what you are doing.
11. He loves playing in the bathtub!

Happy 7th Birthday Ayla!

We had so much fun with Ayla for her birthday!
Trent picked up the girls
on Friday afternoon and
we went to China lily for dinner to
celebrate Ayla's Birthday and Trent's new job.
The owner of the China Lily is this cute chinese lady
that had so much fun looking at the fishes with the girls
and they brought out some cake for Ayla
and she was nice and shared with Bessie :)
Then after dinner we went to my in laws so Grandma Smith could give Ayla her birthday presents since they wouldn't be able to make it to her party.
On Saturday morning we decorated cupcakes and Ayla's birthday cake,
then we went to pirate island to meet up with family and have a little party :)


Ayla requested a shamrock cake and I do believe I delivered on that :)



Ayla got lots of presents and she was very happy about it!









Ayla and Bessie had a lot of fun playing with their cousin Scarlet,
they ran around and play ring aroung the rosie. :)



Owen did not want to be a pirate :D



They put us in a room in the back and I thought that was really nice because it was easier to contain the maddness :)




Thanks to everyone for coming to Ayla's party we had so much fun!
