New Smitty Pics

Making Cookies

Boo season is here, so we've been making lots of cookies.
The kids have loved it and we still love to end the night with
hot cocoa even when it's 90 degrees.

First Day of Kindergarten

Walking to school.

Smith's buddy Ryan,

Outside classrooms.

Lainey was just as excited as Smitty.

And, luckily they have Legos there too!
He LOVED his first day.

Smith is 6!

Here are some of the highlights (besides legos):
Birthday Boy

Tie-fighter cakes and movie food,

a backyard movie,

and some good buddies.

We Are The World....

Smith had a long day of playing with his buddy today. In the car from the friend's house to ours, they were talking about how cool it was that they could play for so long.
Friend: "It's like we're having two play-dates. One was at my house and now the second at yours!"

Smith: "It would be really cooler if we could invite all our friends in the whole wide world....like even the Chinese!"

Church Thoughts-by Smith Romney

"Jesus came back alive and then we went back to school."

"The temple is a house of love because Jesus lives there."

Like Geeps, Like Grandson?

I finally got Smith to open up a little about school today as I drove him to soccer practice. He was gabbing away with his friend, and quite at his leisure, so I figured it was a good time to drill the two boys about their new school. I asked Dillon what his favorite part about school was and he gave the obvious reply, "recess." To Smith, I offered up the same question, expecting to get the same answer.

"Well. I like learning the best."

Shocked, I asked what he liked to learn the best.

"Numbers. I like to learn all about numbers."

Not sure I'm related to this kid since I personally liked recess the best. However, as a new Kindergartener Mom, I couldn't be more proud or excited.

I'm Better, You're Better, I'm Best

Smith: "Rosey is the cutest baby at our house. Laine is the silliest. I am the smartest. Dad is the muscley-est. And Mom. You're the....you're the cookiest."

Thank you Smith. For me, that's the ultimate.

Hill of Funness (& the Tar Pits)

Tar pits were great, but so was the hill!
