A Baby Shower and a Baby

I have four cousins. Everybody except me had been slacking in the kid department. Ryan and his wife have been married almost six years and Lander and his wife have been married for almost four.Yet I with my measly almost three years have the children. Not just one but two. But, all of the sudden Ryan and Lander both hopped aboard the Great Grandchild wagon and had babies coming in March. Wendy, Ryan's wife had her baby shower earlier this month. It was very nice. As you can see from the pictures below she has lots of clothes for baby Ava. Resha, Lander's wife just had baby Ethan on last Wednesday the 21st. Isn't he cute? I can't wait to meet him.

Sam's 2nd Birthday

Sam had his party on Saturday the 3rd, a couple days before the real thing. He loved it. All of the Smith kids were here and his very good buddy Uncle Adam. Sam was a very happy camper! He really liked the cake and ice cream too. The only thing he didn't seem to like was the singing. When we all sang Happy Birthday to him he seemed a little unsure about it all. He just looked at us all like we were crazy. He got a lot of toys and a super cute outfit and some much needed sippy cups. It was a lot of fun.

Girl party

Well the girl party was great! We hardly slept. We ate and drank lots of sugar. We played games. We had so much fun! We didn’t watch any girl movies and we didn’t ride in the convertible because my Mom didn’t want me to put the top down in winter. I found out it is tempting to be disobedient even when you are an adult. But, I was good. Laura came over Saturday and that was a lot of fun. She brought over her scrapbook and got some help from the master (Emilee). The kids did really well. There were no serious injuries and they mostly kept to themselves in the basement. It went so smooth. I couldn’t believe we had eight kids and two babies. Sam had a blast. He didn’t nap all weekend. But he slept for almost sixteen hours on Sunday night.
