My own Buzz Lightyear

I think he's got it down to a T....what do you think? Even the eyebrows match...pretty impressive!

Best Mom Ever

Every once in a great while, my kids really, really love me...because I will let them play with flour...yes, baking flour. It is their favorite thing ever....bring out the swathers, tractors, garbage truck, etc. and scoop it through the flour and make a huge mess and have a great time doing it. Yes, but then Mom gets to have the fun cleaning up the clothes, hands, counter,and floor afterwards....that is why it is a every once in a great while activity!!!

Preston's Park

Preston and this park are two peas in a pod...he LOVED this park. Hmmm...lets see...water and Preston, yep..sounds about right!

Lovin' the Lake

Clear Lake is about 15 minutes from the base and the kids love to go swim in the lake...so it is a nice afternoon treat to bring lunch and have fun splashing in the water. As you can see, it was a warm, fun afternoon.

Smith Family Reunion in Spokane

The Smith Clan all came to Spokane. Of the 7 kids and spouses, Clay was the only one not present....so, needless to say, it was a full house! Everyone had a great time being together. We went to the airshow, silverwood theme park, Hiawatha Trail, and just spent time together!!

Summer time is water time

We love Daddy..and our brothers

Picture = 1000 words

Here is a classic picture of our three monkeys....CJ smiling, Aparri with a look of fear, Preston with the look of "attack" Story said.
Here are some of the other pictures....it is amazing how many pictures you have to take to get a decent picture when you have multiple kids..they all seem to be looking in a different direction...and I swear that direction is never the camera.

Some of our Favorite Things

We love crafts...just give the boys some paper, scissors, straws, and electrical tape and they are happy and creating. CJ armored up his Buzz Lightyear and Preston made a caterpillar.

Aparri loves to be outside and therefore, loves walks, bikerides, etc.




Our other favorite thing is our motorcycle bike/ 2 wheel bike equipped with motorcycle helmets....heaven.

A Bunch of New Skills

What are Uncles good for? How about...teaching your kids GREAT new skills...like shooting....or maybe hunting, killing, skinning and eating a wild rabbit! Yep...and here is a picture of the poor little rabbit to prove it.

The boys were completely captivated by Bryce's little "demonstration" however, they wanted nothing to do with the eating of the rabbit.
