A Night at the Cottage...

This is my favorite place to be! I love being with my family with no distractions, getting dirty, and just simply being together..even Lucy got to join us! We found this little bed and breakfast just an hour away that we can go and just enjoy the small town country. It was the perfect getaway to enjoy the people I am most grateful for. I loved every second!

Grandma's house

We spent the weekend with Grandma and Grandpa Smith. Mike and Ena went to the Kansas game, Mike, Brelyn, Ella, Grandpa and I went to the BYU game and we ate lots of yummy food!

We tried to grab a picture..but with 5 kids and 4 dogs it got a little crazy!

more of B's birthday..

Happy Birthday Brelyn!

This beautiful girl turns 6 years old today! She is the best! She is hilarious and shy and loud and kind and determined and smart and cuddly..she can do anything when she puts her mind to it and she doesn't let anyone get in her way! 

I write songs for all my babies..Brelyn's song goes like this:

Brelyn Emma, I have a dilemma

Who loves you more?

Is it Mama or maybe Daddy?

You, they adore

Your beautiful smile

Your eyes light up a mile

You're funny and pretty and a little bit silly

I love you my Brelyn, my B

Happy Veteran's Day!

My dad spent the evening with us yesterday and attended the Veteran's Day dinner at Bradley's school. It was a fun night celebrating  my dad's service during the Vietnam war and all other veteran's! I am so grateful for this country!

Brelyn thought Papa's pronunciation of Hans and Anna was hilarious! :) 

Bradley was so handsome in his bow tie.:)

Ella

Love this girl
