Fun at the park!

Weeeee! Here Elise is playing with Uncle Jack at the park in Helena. They both LOVED the swings!!

All the Usual Suspects...oh my

So with a new year a month and a half into it and a fancy camera later, I have FINALLY gotten some new pics to post so.....I will let them speak for themselves. These will span from Halloween thru NOW...I hope this doesn't freeze my comp up *cringe*

That's all for tonight....tomorrow is pool night so it will be Thursday before more. nite nite

OMG!!

Yes it is true! Finally have new pics posted! Family and freinds....this is the Smith Family on vacation in Destin, Florida. (well mostly pics of Elise but that is the REAL reason you are here and you KNOW it!! lol ) First stop was The Wiggles concert in Baton Rouge, LA. Best hour and a half entertainment money can buy for a 2 year old. Then onward to Destin and the sugary white beach, or as Elise called it "her sandbox". We all had a wonderful time and cannot wait to get back!

This is another litte bombshell and her daddy that we all made friends with and hung out with for a couple of days of our stay in Destin....with two there is more entertainment and cuteness all around!!

A little too much fun in the sun...right before Elise laid down she had falled asleep, hat and all in the swim floatie with daddy towing her around.

And as we arrive back in the 'Ham, this is the site to see as we look into the back seat to check the littlest beach babe......collective "awwwwwww"

We hope everyone enjoyed these long over due pics and with any luck Mommy will get some more up ASAP! We love everyone!

So....Mommy is a slacker!

Yes! You all knew it already...Mommy gets it from PaPa, the procrastination that is.....we just got back from some fun in the sun and have tons of photos to post... I will be spending some time tomorrow getting everyone caught up on all the comings and goings in the Smith household but for now....time for a little post vacation relaxation with the cherub already in bed and the adults lounging on the couch. Until tomorrow...we love you all!!!

July 31st--Crazy last week and a half

No pics this morning but just a quick note to tell all our family and friends how much we appreciate and love them. Several people at my work have lost loved ones last Saturday. While we were celebrating the joining of two people we care for, two supervisors lost those they care for. One a husband of 40+ years who was ill and the other a daughter who was but 24 and her passing was most unexpected. We also send our prayers to Uncle Jack who is in Dallas with Nana and Grandad for more surgery. It sounds like everything is going well and we want to keep it that way. And to our family that isn't as close as we would like, we love and miss you and think about you everyday and thank God for every moment we have together, either in person or via phone/e-mail/letters/blogs...

Also this week we hope to learn what Elise's cousin will be...will it be a boy to rough-house and play "garage" with or a girl to play Barbie's and dress-up....we are excited to know!!

We love you all!

Love, Patrick, Holly and Elise (and Kikyo)

July 4th and 21st Pics

Here are some pics from the 4th of July and yesterday July 21st, Crystal (Daddy aka Patrick's cousin)and John-Paul's wedding where Elise was a flower girl.

Look who got some new shoes!! Crocs!! Just like Uncle Jack! Elise loved his so much Nana and Grandad treated Elise to some of her very own.

I don't know but I think she likes them. What do you think??

Here is our precious little girl looking beautiful for Crystal and John-Paul's big day. Elise was the littlest of the flower girls but she followed the other girls lead and did wonderfully. Better than Mommy and Daddy hoped or expected. Here are few pics from the day.

Hope you enjoyed the photos. Sorry that there isn't much in the way of captions but most of these speak for themselves. I have some more pics to post but that will have to wait as is grows late here and Monday morning comes too soon. More later. =)
