Father's Day

We enjoyed a wonderful Father's Day Sunday! Grandpa Dave and Grandma Diane graciously hosted a wonderful brunch in the morning. We had a wonderful time sipping on champagne and orange juice visiting with all our favorite family members. Later in the afternoon we went golfing with Grandpa Smith and Gayle and ended the day with dinner at the Chop House. Happy Father's Day to all the special fathers in my life. You guys are the BEST!!!

I guess no matter how old you get the box is still the best present you could ever get!
"I shot a wabbit, I shot a wabbit......."

Grandpa Larry tries his hand with the BB gun.

It won't be long until they are all great white fathers. We will always love you no matter how white your hair gets or how much hair you lose everyday!

Bat Boys

The boys were fortunate enough to have the chance to be bat boys for the Scarlets on Friday night. They were very excited and could not wait to get to the ballpark. They got to shag balls during batting practice and even play catch during warm-ups. They are looking forward to the next time they get to do it again.
What pitch is this Dawson? Four-seamer fastball?

Just tall enough to see over the dugout.

Fishing at the Tongue

The boys and I joined Grandpa Dave and Grandma Diane at the Tongue for a night. Although the weather was terrible on our drive up it turned out to be a beautiful evening of fishing. We were fortunate enough to catch 53 fish! Poor Grandpa Dave had to clean all the fish himself. After two hours of cleaning he was finally able to go to bed around 11:30. He can't wait for the day until the boys learn how to clean fish.

It was a good thing Dayton didn't go overboard as I am not sure his mini life jacket would have helped him. :)

Dayton took advantage of the down time to relax and read in a lawn chair.

Dawson spent most of his time fishing out of the boat even while it was on shore. He is also preparing himself to be on the next hit fishing show with his slang, "OH SON and OH BABY I HAVE A MONSTER ON!"

Crosby Our New Puppy!!

Happier times are here again for the Smiths! Our new addition is here. Crosby, our new golden retriever puppy, was brought home two weeks ago and we are having an absolute ball with him. We have enjoyed watching him explore his new world where everything is brand new. He makes us laugh every day just watching him chase butterflies, leaves, slipping in the mud and down the stairs. We have noticed that he LOVES to chew and LOVES rocks. We are all still getting to know each other, but are loving every minute we can snuggle and love him. He is going to make a wonderful friend for all of us.

Smith Update

Here are a few pictures from the past few months. We have been quite busy, but now that school has finished we look forward to a little slower pace! Hope all our friends and family are doing wonderfully.
The boys took part in their annual baseball carnival and ended up at the whip cream booth!

Happy Mother's Day Mom!!

Dayton's first communion and confirmation with his sponsor Grandpa Dave.
