Birthday Boys

The joys of celebrating Evan and Kale's birthday a day apart....

You get an awesome dinosaur cake

1 is easy!31 is hard!

Birthday Clean Up is always a joy!!

Memorial Day Game

We decided to go to a San Jose Giants Game for Memorial Day and it was a blast. We are definitely a baseball fan family

After the game they let the kids run the bases, it was a little hard for Connor because he had flip flops on and wasn't sure what the purpose of running around a baseball field was.

Memorial Day Camping

It has been our little Smith family tradition to go camping every year on Memorial and nothing was gonna stop us!
That morning Kaleb fell in the bathroom hitting his mouth on the toilet. He hit his mouth so hard he ripped his frenulum above his front teeth, saving us a future little operation. But it was a rough night trying to get some sleep.

Drugged baby letting mommy hold him.

Finally we got some smiles from baby Kale when meds really started to kick in!

Who doesn't love a fire.

Kristen's 24th Birthday

The best part of my birthday every year is that my fabulous hubby makes me my favorite cake, yellow cake with chocolate frosting!

And it wouldn't be a birthday party if you didn't break out the adult sleeper pajamas and showed them off!

Visiting Mom

My mom wasn't feeling well so I hoped on a plane to visit her with my kids. I think I was more trouble than I was help. It was fun seeing her though.

My family gets constantly sick so my mom had a theory that if you sleep with a cut onion in your room, it absorbs all the mold and bacteria in the air. It just made the room stinky so I tossed it out in the middle of the night!

Now you boys don't move a muscle and stay clean before church!

Yummy sonic burgers that kids didn't truly appreciate.

Trying to get kids to pose is hard enough without adding an orange gun to the scenario and pointing it in your brothers mouth.

LA Zoo 2010

You mean it's weird to lay around on the animals and pose for pictures?

Apparently no one told me!

Who cares about the lions, tigers and bears... they have turtles mom!!

And mom did you know they have a gun at the zoo!
We sat here for a half an hour, and probably could have been here longer if we let Connor, letting Connor playing with this telescope even though he couldn't see through it.

These flamingos were the stinkiest birds ever!

Disneyland 2010

I'm kinda a weird parent because if I feel like my kids won't remember going somewhere why pay for them to go? This is how I feel about Disneyland, so since Connor was free I bit my lip and took him anyway. It was a blast but I would never pay for him to go.

Playing with a firetruck, traitor.

My mom hated "It's a Small World" ride so as a kid I don't ever remember going. Evan broke that tradition a took me on the ride, I thought it was cute.

My muscle man

Partners in crime.

He hated the dumbo ride!

You can do it!!Am I the only one putting in the effort!
