Emma lost her first tooth!

After many, many, many, days of wiggling her tooth it finally came out. (Well I pulled it out actually, but hey at least its out) Excuse Emma's nice hairdo we had been at the pool prior to this pictures.

Visit from Grandma and Grandpa Smith

Grandma and Grandpa Smith came to visit us a few weeks ago.
My kids were so excited, we had not seen them since we moved from Idaho.
All day long Emma would ask how many more hours till they would be here.

As you can see, my kids couldnt even wait till Grandma was out of the car to give her a hug.
We Love Grandma!

Hugs for Grandpa too!

Our Family Staycation

This picture is about a month late, but oh well.
We couldn't leave to go on vacation this year due to school, so we decided
to go on a Staycation, and stayed at the Marriott in Phoenix for a week.
We had a great time, and Chris and I still made it to all our classes.

Kids outside the Hotel

Emma took swimming lessons this summer and now loves the water.
There were about 4 pools and a splash park were we stayed, so we were in
the water every day.

Cami also took swimming lessons this summer, but she has
not grown to love the water like Emma, yet. Hopefully, she will soon.

Carson is so funny, he LOVES to be in the water, and is such a little
daredevil, I have to watch him very closely or he just runs and jumps in.
