Jackson's 1st Birthday 1.2.12

Our nephew Jackson had his first birthday when we were together! What a delightful little man! Happy birthday!!

Prepare yourself to see some very fun and cute pictures!! This all happened while I was sick in bed. I could hear what was going on, but I didn't see. The pictures tell the story! And what a story! Haha!

Grandma holds Jeralyn and Josiah together on her lap. Jeralyn sees Josiah and is immediately interested.

She's probably wondering at this point, "I wonder if he tastes good?"

"Mmmm...he does taste good!"

"Yum! Yum! Give me some of that cheek!"

"Wow! That was great!"

I love how Josiah just slept through the whole thing. I'm sure there will be paybacks some day...

Happy New Year!! Errr... 1.1.12

So we didn't ring in the New Year like most probably did. Almost everyone was sick. We don't know if it was food poisoning or just some random weird bug, but things were definitely not quite normal in the Smith house. It was the most awkward couple of days because there was no food cooked, not much socializing going on, and it was quiet (except for the babies crying). It felt like we were all quarantined in the house. But thankfully all of the babies felt good!

Nate's expression says it all!

New Years Eve 12.31.11

New Years Eve was a nice day! We took a walk outside in the beautiful sunshine and then went to dinner at a friend of the family's house.

Dad Smith made me a delicious breakfast smoothie! It was green, but a tasty green. Ha!

Mom Smith cooking breakfast. She's an AMAZING cook!!

And then Jeralyn had a bath that evening and showed off some cuteness!

Smith Acres 12.30.11

We arrived at Quent's parent's farm on December 28th and stayed there until January 3rd. It was so great to have the whole family together again! We sure missed having Chad (Mikaela's husband) with us! We thank him for his active duty overseas! We know it's a sacrifice!

Baby Josiah & Aunt Natasha 12.28.11

Quent's sister Mikaela had her little baby Josiah James on December 27th. We met him the day after his birth and what a little guy! It's hard to believe that Jeralyn was once so little. Josiah is a very sweet baby!
