i forgot to mention

I'm going private this friday the 21. So please leave your email or send it to cesmith80@msn.com.

I Hate to do this!!!!

Yes, after much deliberation I have decided to go private. I HATE HATE HATE having to do this! The other night I was blog surfing(we've all done it) and almost every time I went to go into someone I got the message. I have loved being able to read about people I went to school with, people I use to work with, family of people I work with, and my own family. I personnally don't care who looks at this as long as they know my family and are not using it for the wrong reason. The only reason i'm doing this is because I just need one less thing to worry about. Like my cousin Mandi said, I still want to be able to share the funny stories and pictures that I never remember to. So please, leave you email and I will add you. For people that don't have a blog all you need to do is set up a google account , which is easy, just so you have a way of signing into blogger. So please, if you know our family-or even just pass our family in the halls at church please leave your email. I'm just trying to keep the Creepys out! Thanks for understanding!

update....finally

I know that I have been MIA lately, but that doesn't mean that I wasn't thinking about my blog. So here is a recap of the past couple of weeks.

First, Me and Casey celebrated our 6th wedding anniversary on the 2nd. We didn't do anything special just shopped (for the kids) and went to dinner with Eric and Jen. We also are making plans with Jeremy and Alisha (theirs was on the first) to do a weekend trip which will be fun!

Second, Casey put the Christmas lights up on our house last weekend. I begged him to do it while the weather was good. I hate the thought of him being on ladder when it is snowing. We turned them on until the neighbors started complaining (no, just kidding), but we did turn them on while we ran to get Cael from my mom's so he could see them and it seemed weird wearing a short sleeve shirt and sandals while looking at my Christmas lights.

thirdly, Cael got to go pheasant hunting with Casey and Gary. He insisted on taking his own gun(toy). He looked so happy I couldn't resist taking a picture. They didn't see ANYTHING so Casey is going to take up Raccoon hunting to see if this helps the pheasant population.

finally, Kensie finally started to take steps. I was starting to think that she wasn't going to be walking by her birthday, but she proved me wrong. She also got her first haircut. It wasn't a huge haircut, but Jenna trimmed the ends with hope it will come in better. She was good the whole time and just smiled. She is getting too big!

PS. if anyone was wondering Guilherme did win the world finals, which was totally awesome and well deserved. He has taken second the past three years! So Go Guilherme!!!

Go Guilherme!!!!

The PBR finals started this weekend and Guilherme is on Fire! After 2 rounds he has rode all his bulls and they have been over 90 points both times. Last night he lenghten his lead by placing 2 in the round after riding copperhead slinger for 92.25. The first round he rode Scardey Cat for 90.25. It is being broadcasted on VS tonight and also thur-sund next week.
Also my favorite bulls are in vegas this weekend. Names to look for Troubador, Charlie bullware, and Big Mike. These bulls also come to the stampede and Troubador is up for bull of the year. He is Rank!

Happy Halloween!

Our Halloween was the best yet! Cael actually liked trick-or-treating this year and Kensie is always easy to please. They both looked so cute in their costumes The only complaint was Cael's mask was scratching his chin so he took it off ,but at least I got a picture first! The night before we carved pumpkins (well Casey) and they turned out really cute. Cooper and Braxten even came over and help it was really fun! Gavyn slept over that night, so in the morning we got up and had ghost pancakes (gavyn ate 5). They got dressed up in their costumes and we went down to my mom's, gavyn and kensie took a quick nap. We headed out to the hospital where everyone was dressed up really cute, especially Nikki. After, we went back to my mom's where Cael had a nap and we made sugar cookies. The rest of the night we went trick-or-treating at family and neighbors houses and made it home just in time to watch PBR.

11 months

It's true, my baby is soon going to be a year old! She is acting so much like a toddler and is getting into everything! we can't get enough of her, especially her brother. Cael went deer hunting with Casey so me and Kensie went to the mall. first mother/daughter shopping trip. anyway, we were eating in the food court and Kensie must have been missing Cael because she would not stop talking to these cute little boys next to us. it was so cute. Like I said me and Kensie spent the weekend home without the boys. I think it was good for the kids to get some individual attention. Milestones...... She is still not walking, but she is getting more interested. She has a new love of pillows and giggles when she wrestles with them. She still says hel-lo, new word is Oh. I can now get a snap clip in her hair, finally! Loves to empty things out especially Cael's toys. She is getting sick of baby food and wants to eat and drink what we are. I have not attempted to take her bottle away and not looking forward to it. She is a girly girl and loves purses and jewelery. She waves and says bye-bye. Acts shy around people she doesn't know. Her favorite daycare lady is Jill and kensie snuggles with her when I drop her off in the morning. No new teeth. I think thats it.

First field trip

On Monday we went on Cael's first field trip to the red barn. All of the kids were excited to go on the wagon ride and of course Cael wanted to ride in the wagon with the hay (that had been rained on). After a few seconds my butt was completely wet. A lot of the kids were excited to see the tractor and hay. Cael was confused about this since everyones grandpa is a farmer! right? When we got to the patch Cael ran to the first pumpkin he saw and wanted to claim it. It's stem had been broken off so I talked him into the one with a stem. He then got ornery (hunger) and wanted to go back to the wagon. After we got back to the wagon he tried to lift the pumpkin and broke the stem off. So much for getting one with a stem! When we got back to the barn he ate his donut and we wandered through the store. After looking through every bit of candy he finally decided on two apples, one for him and his dad. This made a very good impression on his teacher (wink)! But i assured her that this was a rare occasion!
