Colorado!!

So we made it safe and sound. What was a 21 hour drive turned into a 31 hour drive spaced over 3 days!! Who knew a moving truck could only go 25mph over hills and let me tell you, there are a ton over the mountains and even on the plains!

We are living in a 3 bedroom apartment on the second floor and I feel bad for the guy below us. Kaleb is a heavy walker!

As soon as we got to Colorado we moved our stuff in and then went to Nauvoo. It was fun but again rough 15 hour drive. Everett now cries every time he gets put into the car seat! We have only been to our ward twice but I already miss our old ward. Everyone in this ward is done having kids and all the moms have like 5 kids each. And with my luck they are almost all girls. It is so quiet I feel like I am taking my kids out every peep!

Evan started his beat on Sunday, working days for the next month and then he will go to midnights for all the training. Hopefully he will only be in training for 2 months instead of 3 and a half. It looks like a good department. Evan describes it as a good ol' boys' club! I love how they did make fun of the size of his gun saying "the 9 is a good gun, my wife loves hers."

Any hoot, we are moved in and I will soon get pics of my little naughty boys and the fam soon.

Evan's Birthday

Again on his birthday he was beat up in police training. He had physical training and came home exhausted. Just five years ago he was gassed and tazered for San Jose Training! Birthdays are swell for this Smith Boy.

Kaleb's Birthday

With my foggy camera here are picture from Kaleb's Second Birthday.

Baby Everett

Baby Blessing with Dad

Connor always wants to sit next to Everett.

Nice tv in the background, but cute pictures.

Brotherly Love

Nothing says I love you like a kick of mud in the face

Camping

Why one, when I can gave all the sleeping bags

If the red nose and cheeks doesn't say it all..... it was freezing while camping last weekend up at Lehi Camp.

Creepy picture but the only one of Everett's face exposed from his warm blanket in the baby bjorn

After several hours of calming him down, he finally fell asleep with the reassurance of daddy's hand and hat

Why camp when you can stay in the car and watch a movie with the heater on!

Baby Announcement

I love all these pictures! My friend Stephanie emailed me and asked if she could take photos of my kid and I said absolutely. She did an amazing job and I think she should go into the business.

This one is Evan's favorite.

Everett is laying on the blanket the his great grandma Smith made. You can't really see it in the picture but it is beautiful.
