Seven months

Addison keeps getting cuter and cuter!! She loves to smile and laughs when we tickle her. This was her first time sitting in the grass, suprisingly she didn't mind.

Our precious seven month (pluse one day!) old.

50th Anniversary

Yesterday was Craig's parents fifth anniversary. We gave them a gift certificate for The House of Prime resturant. The great thing was suprizing them with a Limo ride to the resturant, to the church and home! At the church we had a party. Craig decorated the gym and made a beautiful cake. Several of the Smith's friends came and joined in. We had a deseret bar & chocolate fountain.

All the work put into the party was well worth the smiles on Bill & Betsy's faces. It was a great night.

Green Eggs

Once in a while we get eggs from my father-in-law. The last batch he gave us were really cool because the shells were different colors. There were brown, light tan and GREEN eggs (the white egg in the picture is from the store). Stuart, raeleigh and I were very excited to see the green eggs!!

Yummy!!

Such a cute messy face!
Last night Addison had rice cereal for the first time. I know that ceral should be a babys first solid food, but for Addison it wasn't. She grabbed Morgan's ice cream cone and enjoyed that. A week ago she alo loved licking daddy's chocolate cake!
It was a two person job. Of course all the kids were watching! Jordan and Raeleigh both asked to try the cereal, but chickened out in the end.

happy to be there mother

On Sunday the seminary students spoke in sacrament meeting. All of the kids did a great job. They each shared a scripture from the Book of Mormon that is their favorite.

After the meeting I heard great comments about the all the kids. Of course I really appreciated the comments about my children. Sister Becky Lamb said that said that Samantha is "always good". She also said that Morgan is "extraordinary". Sister Ludona Smith said that samantha is "such a doll". Brother Otis Manchester said he is "proud to know our family".

It feels so good to hear good things about my kiddos. I love them so much! So happy to be there mother.

More Prom Pictures

My fried took these pictures at the prom. I loved these two. Our daughter is gorgeous.

"That Stinks"

We were driving in the car the other day. Stuart was talking about Patrick. I gently reminded Stuart that Patrick moved out. Stuart said "THAT STINKS!" He told me that he misses Patrick and would like him to come back.

I am so glad that my kids like each other - even if they don't know it until one of them moves out.

Grandpa & Grandma Webecke Visit

In April, Grandma and Grandpa Webecke came for a visit. The kids and I met them at a resort near Walt Disney World. The kids were so excited to see their grandparents. We went mini-golfing, Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's EPCOT. They were all fun activities. The kids also were happy that Grandma brought beading and plastic canvas. They learned to make many things with the beads and canvas. So happy that grandparents come to see the kids.
While some of us waited in line for tickets the others had their picture taken with Tmone, at the gate of Animal Kingdom.

For most of the day we did split up into two groups. But we met at the bird show and enjoyed watching the many different birds. Grandma said that she liked to see the real versions of the many birds she has in her house.

I just love this picture of Raeleigh, Jordan and Stuart.

At EPCOT, we got to see several Disney characters. The kids thought this was so cool. Addison wasn't so sure, but she did want to touch all of the characters.

The highlight of the trip for Morgan was seeing POOH. Getting to stand next to him was just icing on the cake!!

I love all the different countries to visit in EPCOT. Of course I had to have the kids squish into the phone booth in the United Kingdom! I have good looking kiddos!!

Craig has shown the kids the wonderful world of squishing pennies. Stuart was thrilled to find the machines and enjoyed making the squished pennies and showing them off.

Grandpa loves music. Jordan was excited to bring his clarinet and play for him. Jordan played some of the songs he would play at the spring concert at school.

Samantha was happy to show her grandparents what she has learned in the NJROTC armed drill team. Samantha loves to do riffle routines and is happy to have anyone watch her spin!

One last event before Grandparents left was to go to Perkins for lunch. The kids love to eat out and Craig and I do to, so it was a really treat!!

Craig took this picture before Grandma and Grandpa drove back to Orlando. (Christina, Morgan, Addison, Samantha, Stuart, Paul Webecke, Raeleigh, Jane Webecke, Jordan)

Some how this picture ended up at the bottom & I don't want to take the time to fix it! We all loved the big fountain at EPCOT. The best part was that is was coordinated with the music. So fun to watch!!

Smitten!

Addison and her Daddy are quite taken with each other.

LDS Prom

Patrick and Morgan went to the LDS prom on March 17, 2010. They both look so beautiful.

Patrick was so excited about his outfit. He looks handsome and even smiled for the pictures!

Patrick was thrilled to show me his belt buckle.

Look at that beautiful smile, so glad that he smiled for the camera!! This is a rarity.

Morgan and Sister Megan Lamb made Morgan's dress. They did a wonderful job. Morgan was thrilled with how the dress turned out and felt so pretty.

Megan also did Morgan's hair. I am so greatful for good friends that help my children.

Morgan and Patrick had a great time at the prom. Morgan came with fun stories to share and happy memories.
