"Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head..."

It has been a very rainy last few weeks in the City of Salt and we have been enjoying every moment. The Oregon in Bailey is obvious with her great love of the rain and overcast skies. She loves to jump in "muddy puddles" (thanks Peppa Pig) and play in the rain as much as possible.


 This is like Andy Dufresne when he finally escapes from Shawshank. (Ha)


We have had a few days of beautiful spring weather and were lucky enough to take advantage of those as well. Bailey got to go on her first pony ride - which she loved and is still asking when she can go riding again. If the weather lets up, we just might go again.




It was also Mother's Day and Bailey is now old enough to sing some cute songs about mothers at church - in front of the congregation along with the other children. "Mother I love you, Mother I do..."I may have recorded her in church. It was a fun moment that I have waited for and I look forward to some loud singing from my girl in the future.



I was also able to see my parents for a few while my dad was in town for work and even managed to attend the Salt Lake Children's Chorus concert with them and my aunt and uncle. It brought back flashbacks of being in the Rogue Valley Children's Chorus. Good times. I also went up to Logan for a day to see McKenna and for Bailey to play with her cousins. Bailey loves her cousins and asks daily when she gets to play with any and all of them. I also got to go to dinner and a movie with McKenna for her birthday and it was of course super fun.








Never a dull or quiet moment for Smithtown: 





Is there anything on my face? (How did she get chocolate by her eye?)

She's so fancy...


May the Fourth Be With You: 


Take a picture of me mom!

 Memorial Day 

I can't believe it's almost June. This Spring has flown by and I'm sure the summer will do the same. I am just hoping it isn't too miserably hot. I am sure the Smithtown adventures will continue. Stay tuned for fun happenings.

"My Girl Wants to Party all the Time..."

...Party all the Time.

It has been a busy past month of partying in our household and on visits to other familial households as well. We had a super fun St. Patrick's Day party at my parents house with a most of the Granat's in attendance (minus a very sad Kirse and fam and very pregnant Christy). It was green, yummy, funny, messy and LOUD. Those cousins sure do have fun when they get together. What a bunch of goofballs. The weather cooperated for the most part and we were able to have a dance party and play outside for a large portion of the day.










I was lucky to get a new nephew a couple of weeks ago and Bailey was able to have a sleepover with Miss Esme. My brothers little girl. They had tons of fun and as it was Bailey's first ever cousin sleepover at her house. I was a bit nervous, but if they are as fun and easy as this one was; there will hopefully be many more to come.




Bailey has been able to spend quite a bit of time playing outside since the weather (minus a fun wind and winter storm this week) has been beautiful. She loves going to play at "Auntie Teddy's" house and run up and down the hill. She always gets treats and get to play in makeup - what's not to like?! They also just gave her a singing Elsa doll and she still refuses to "let it go". 





And then it was time for Easter! We were fortunate to spend Easter day with my brother and his family. Bailey dyed Easter eggs and then we had an Easter egg hunt. It was super fun. This year the Easter Bunny brought some glitter princesses whose outfits are interchangeable and some candy for the entire household to enjoy. Bailey was also super excited for her Avengers cup and reminds us often that the Hulk is one of her favorites along with Captain America. Trevor couldn't be prouder that she knows her superheroes. 







Silliness and fun continue in the Smith household of course. Here are a few I was lucky to capture.
