Ty & Laura Smith

Evan Rude and the lovely ladies of AF

I guess we didn't bore Evan Rude and the lovely ladies of AF too much last time they visited......Because they came back!!!!!!

Ty and Logan took the two oldest girls fishing to Elephant Butte. I don't know who was more excited, sweets or the girls.

Jenn, the youngest two, Bronson, and I stayed back and slept in:) We watched conference and took a little hike in the foothills.

On Sunday we took it nice and easy and had a glorious breakfast and watched conference. In between sessions took another hike up in the foothills.

Bronson was done and ready for a nap by the end of our hike.

Every morning their was a ritual of the girls getting their hair done. Loved this day. While Jenn was working on one of the girls hair, Kalynn.... or was this Kenzie..... crap still cant tell them apart. I blame the whole distance thing. Anywho one of them decided to do Jenn's hair. Love the butt crack in the first picture:)

Logan's family did the Tram ride and loved it. Even shared a family pic on top for me.

The next day we hiked Tent Rocks.

Logan and Addie were the only ones to make it to the top.

That evening we went to La Salita for dinner, yum yum yum! As you can tell Bronson agrees. That night Bronson also mastered the art of drinking from a straw.

The next morning I noticed Bronson had this rash all over his belly and back. Poor dude got some heat rash from our hike. It was gone in 2 days.

took the crew to the aquarium, botanical gardens, and the zoo for their last day.

This picture was taken at the end of the day. Everybody did such a great job and we had a blast.

Man we had a great time. My favorite thing of the trip, playing games when all the kiddos were in bed. Lots of fun and laughs. Thanks Logan and Jenn for coming down to visit, can't wait till the next trip!

Finishing up March

Last year when the Easter Bunny came Bronson was able to fit in his Easter Basket, the little goober. The basket was left on the fire place and Bronson noticed it right away. He ate some candy, or so I thought, and after a couple minutes spit it out. Oh well. Leaves more for mom and dad.

March wouldn't be complete without some Madness! Thanks to Aunt McCall Bronson was stylin' for the occasion.

Seriously this kid has head falls at least twice a day. Ty and I were talking when Bronson fell over. He cried and then he screamed. No idea what his big noggin hit, fireplace or the couch table. I went and picked him up and didn't see anything. 5 seconds later I looked again because how he was screaming and saw this beauty.

This is such a sad sad scene. Bronson was way hungry, and frankly I was too, so I decided to make some good ole mac and cheese. When it was finally done I went to drain it...... yep I totally lost! The lid slipped and all that loverly noodles too. Man was I mad! Even yelled. Bronson looked at me like I had lost it.

Bronson entertaining himself with my cell phone while we dropped off goodies to Ty's Hometeaching families.

Watched this lizard climb up our screen door and then just hang out.... and then hang out some more. For a couple days he was like this and then he was gone. Went outside to investigate and the poor thing had bit the dust.

Bronson went through a phase of fig bars. He would get into the cupboard and bring them to us. I guess this day he was especially hungry. At first he had one bar in each of his hands and was crawling towards me.

Happy Birthday Bronson!

Love this little buddy of ours. Crazy to think that he made his grand entrance a year ago, time really does fly by. Ty and I are so blessed by this little man and we couldn't be happier. Man we sure love him lots!

Grandma and Grandpa Day came down for a couple days to help celebrate his birthday. Mom, Bronson, and I went to the Botanical Gardens because of the warm weather. Bronson's hat kept turning to the side no matter how many times we fixed it.
