SMITH

My little kiddos are hilarious to be around. I don't get bored or tired or worn out by them no, I don't. I may get bored, tired, or worn out of cleaning up after them, but they themselves- I just love them to peices.

The other day Penn was supposed to be taking a nap, he poked his head out of his door and said in a grumpy voice " MOM!, Don't spank my BIG, BIG, GIANT, GIANT BUTT!" True Story.

Luke's favorite phrase is "go away" when Penn gets a little too close." And Penn & Isaac are now sharing a room. Just a couple of KINGS slumbering on a QUEEN BED. The other day Penn asked me if I could sleep in the middle. I said no, there is not enough room, to which he grabbed his baby bella (his doll) and chucked her across the room.

I overheard Isaac telling Penn the other day that "mom is the boss of me and I am the boss of you." To which Pen responded -"I the boss of TOYS, I the boss of YUUKI" (luke)

I took Penn & Luke to the lilly pond at the arboretum, after a while they got tired of walking so Penn held Luke on his lap while I pushed them in the little stroller. It was cute.

Here are a few pictures of our little people lately:

Luke likes to sit in every basket in our home!

Isaacs Valentines party. He recieved a lot of cute valentines from his classmates.

Penn & Luke thought they were so big!

Luke loves to swing- he just giggles and laughs.

My cousin Craig flys for Skywest. He is a pilot and He was able to stay with

us and visit since he is flying from SLC to Houston. Isaac just thinks he is so neat and the kids call him

Uncle Craig. He is so much fun and we are glad that we get to reconnect after all these years.

As a side note, Isaac is wearing 5 shirts and yes, he did go to school just like that. I enjoyed calling him "Freddy Five Shirts" all day long. He also has on a button necklace that he made of 100 buttons to help him learn to count to 100. He is lookin fine, don't you agree? .

Valentines day HUGS. It was like having a family birthday party. Bryan and I exchanged cards and Aunt Julie sent some neat valentines books. The kids opened up valentines from Grandma & Grandpa Smith and Grandma and Grandpa Robinson. They recieved two dollar bills, some thomas the train shirts, and cute little love notes. What a fun day!

I took Penn & Luke for a hike at the arboretum hiking trails. We hiked up to the

lilly pond and saw about 20 turtles sunning themselves on the logs in the lake. They absolutely loved seeing the fish jumping, and the tadpoles zipping through the water. They especially loved the white waterfall in the middle of the arboretum.
