I tried Crocheting!

I tried this head wrap. Way fun to make!

My cute Kids!!

Cashlee is smiling lots more. It is so cute. I caught her in the act. Chase and Sydnee love playing with her. They are great help and I am so grateful.

5 weeks

OK, it is time to take a vote. Courtney and the kids love this new look. Me on the other hand am not a fan. So lets vote..... What do you think.....like it or not?

My cute kids.

Chase playing with the cat.

I made this in December and it still looks good. Smells good to. Turned out pretty nice if I can say so!!

Knuckles just hanging out in the snow. He has been so spoiled since we had to take him in cause he some how cut a big gash under his front leg.

The beauty we see everyday.

It is so pretty up on the hill!

My little helper!!

Chase took this picture. He loves to use my camera!

Sometimes we get a smile!!

Craft time!!

Could care less to take a picture but mom made them.

I think she has the Smith cheeks.

Cashlee is now five weeks old and growing fast. She has brought so much joy into our home. The kids just love her and are great help.
We have all been though a little sickness and are glad to be on the up side again. Chase and Sydnee have been creative and busy. They like to pretend they are coyotes, they live in a den, and hunt rabbits. I love to watch their imagination.

Happy New Year!!

Any new year resolutions?.......Mine is to be a better mom......journal writer......and to study the scriptures....and live life to cherish each moment...even the moments when I want to scream..Seems like three kids can set those moments off when Chase needs help to go pee.....Cashlee is nursing.....and Sydnee is looking for markers to color. The demand hits all at once.....I love being a mom.

The kids love taking care of Cashlee. They are really good help. Sydnee will sing to her and Chase loves to hold her hands. Cashlee is so alert and seems to be awake more than I can remember for a new born. It must be those noisy older siblings. They are all growing up. Sydnee is getting smarter and loves school. Chase is way into hunting on the wii. The minute Courtney gets home Chase is aching to go hunting. It is so fun to watch them together. I try to help but of course I don't have the hunting techniques like his dad does.

Here are some fun pictures of the kids at Christmas, before we took down the tree, and of Cashlee at her best.

My Handsome Boy! Oh, how we love him.
