Sleepy Jacob

This weekend the kids stayed with Aunt Heather, Uncle Jason and their cousin Michael while mommy and daddy had a weekend away with Matt's friend Jacob (from the army). They had so much fun and even got to go to a baseball game and jungle wonder (an indoor play area)! Of course they were absolutely exhausted by the time we got back, but still very excited to see us! Here is a pic of Jake on the drive home.... 

Sassy a.k.a. Hailey =)

My "baby" Hailey is getting too big too fast! I feel like she is going to be a teenager, dating and getting ready to go off to college before I know it! Me, matt and my entire family call her sassy because she has this cute little sassy attitude to her. She cracks us up and her and Jake love each other so much. This morning they were going to play at grandma's house.. freezy pops, baby pool, and baking cookies... and she was a little sad to leave me. So Jake, being the wonderful big brother he is, kept telling her how much fun they were going to have and how they are going to see mommy later. =) I love my kids so much! Anyway, here are a few pics of our sassy little girl...

Baby Ella

My friend, Danielle gave birth to a beautiful baby girl this week, Ella Pierina Shriner! She is absolutely adorable and they are all home and settling in. I was able to go up to the hospital both nights to visit little Ella and her mommy and of course hold and cuddle the baby! Here are a few pics from my two visits...

Easter

This Easter we were able to spend it with the entire family at my mom's house! Jacob and Hailey did an Easter egg hunt with their cousins in mom's back yard. We had so much fun, but we completely forgot to get a picture of all the cousins like we planned to! My camera battery also died, so I didn't get as many pictures as I wanted to, but hopefully Mom and Heather will share their pictures with me! 

     Here are a few of our pictures...

Getting ready for the summer....

So to get ready for the summer, we went out and bought a few new summer outfits and of course- Sunglasses!!! The kids love taking pictures on the computer, and loved modeling their new shades, haha! We just can't wait to get to the beach so we can play in the sand and put our sunglasses to good use! Here are a few of our pictures...

Matt's 30th Birthday!!

This Saturday I threw an amazing surprise party for my wonderful husband! This year Matthew Smith turned the big 3-0! He was sooo surprised/confused when he walked into my mom's house. We had a lot of fun and I will post more pics soon!
