My Sweet Children

Just couldn't help the Kodak moment last night.

I already have it as my wallpaper and I thought I'd share it with all of you.

Quinntin's The Birthday King

Kora Rae wanted Daddy to celebrate his birthday in style so she made him a Crown! She was so excited that he barely got through the door before she dragged him into the front room to put his crown on. He wore it most of the night and he couldn't have been prouder.

Quinntin was well taken care of all day his mom brought him doughnuts and chocolate milk for breakfast, his sister, Tiffany, brought him his favorite Hermie burger for lunch at work, Quinntin got to grill for dinner and we ate cheesecake for desert. Quinntin got to order a new Airplane he's been wanting to model, and a new case for his scriptures. He was SPOILED! That's okay though I think he deserves it. I love you Quinntin. Happy Birthday!

Brynn's Day

We had the priviledge to bless Brynnlee on Sunday and we had a wonderful luncheon afterwards. Thank you to all that were able to come and brought delicious food and goodies. We to those that wanted to and couldn't make it we were thinking about you.

Turning Papa into a Horse

One of Kora's Favorite books is called Alice the Fairy. It's all about a little girl "pretending" to be a fairy. She can't fly very high but she can fly really fast. She's also really good at turning her Daddy into a horse. Well Kora finally got a wand so she's been turning everyone into horses and Papa was the first to be magically changed. Luckily we had a camera nearby to catch the fun magic.

Good thing she changed him back by the end of the night I don't know how long he would have lasted as a horse. :)

One Month and More

So Brynnlee is a little over one month and we are loving our new little addition. She is so content with life (except when mom eats chocolate). Parker and Kora continue to help out and constantly want her to look at them, and to hold her and to show off for her. Today Parker wanted to hold Brynnlee and once I got them situated he looked at me and said " Mom now take a picture." Here are a few of our fun family pictures of the last month.

Arghh. . . Parker be 4

We had a blast last week with Captain Parker's Birthday party. Parker had been waiting for this party since June. He even got to create a count down the week after Brynnlee was born so he wouldn't drive everyone crazy with "Today my party, Mom?" The day started off with "4" shaped pancakes for Parker and a lots of getting things set up.

We made pirate flags, played toss the cannon ball (hot potato), sail yer boat to the treasure (Pin the tail on the donkey), and Pirate Pirate Captain (Duck Duck Goose),

Nana made an amazing treasure chest cake and we even hunted for treasure around the house.

The kids seemed to be having a good time and Parker even talks about what he wants for his next Pirate Birthday. All in all it was fun to get thing ready and I'm a little glad it's over. :)

Settling In

I had a little fun while our new little angel slept.

(Which when she sleeps it's very hard to wake her.) Here are a couple of my favorites.

The little lip curl is becoming one of my favorite faces.

Brynnlee doesn't like wide open spaces so when she is put on her stomache or back she curls up as best she can and hangs out until someone moves her again. Did I mention she's a very quiet and content baby?

Daddy having some quality time with Brynnlee. On the top, can you find her? She's in pink elephant camo. On the bottom, Quinntin is trying to wake her up so I could feed her. He was singing all the songs with hand movements he could think of.

Nana right before she had to go home.

4 Generations (Great Grandma Smith, Daddy, Brynnlee & Grandma Gray)

Uncle Dayne was SO excited to hold her.
