Birthdays and More Babies!

First of all, Happy Belated Birthday to my amazing Mom and Grandma Dorothy! I hope you guys had a terrific day! To celebrate my Mom’s birthday, we had some people over to enjoy some pizza in our new backyard that Paul has been slaving away on. It turned out beautifully! I am a lucky gal to be married to such a hardworking man!

Also this week, we welcomed Keiley Marie Smith into the world on August 16! She weighed 7.1 lbs and was 20 inches long. She is a precious little girl! Congratulations Cortney, Aaron, and McKenzie!

We also got to enjoy more time with Draven this week. He is already growing so rapidly. He is such a sweet, mellow little guy. The boys and I just adore him!

Busy Bees!

For starters, I’d like to Congratulate Jami & Noah on the birth of their new baby boy! Draven Xavier Ingerling was born on August 10, 2010. He was 7 pounds and 20 inches long! We are so happy to welcome this newest addition to our family!

I am going to try to start updating this thing once a week again, but I doubt that will happen—so expect every two weeks from now on! We just keep getting busier!

We’ve been busy with activities like going to the zoo and going on a treasure hunt. The treasure hunt started at Grandma Traci’s house and then there were clues that lead us to Keith and Linda’s house, then Aunt Jessica’s and finally to our house where the treasure was buried. The boys seemed to enjoy our little adventure—and they certainly enjoyed the treasure! We also went to Water World (which was a hit with the kids), the adult boys played in a flag football tournament in Denver, and Touch-A-Truck (which included a landing from a helicopter that the boys then got to climb in!)

Paul has also been slaving away at our backyard. He has completely transformed the entire thing, and we are so proud of all of his hard work…he did a phenomenal job! He also started his coaching at the high school for the football team. Today was my first day of coaching Kevin’s soccer team, and it was also the day that we finalized Kevin’s Kindergarten registration…he starts in 2 weeks.

Here are some pictures of my sweethearts!
