Valentine's Day 2009.

We should buy stock in Littlest Pet Shop.

Mackenzie loving her dog & monkey from Grammy & Grandpa K.

Katie. Vampires & Pirates. What more is there?

Draper Temple Open House

This has probably never happened before in the history of time, but even I had to admit it was too cold to hike up to the front of the temple to take a picture when we went to the open house. So these are the after-the-tour pictures of us riding the bus back to the van.

Children's Museum

After Build a Bear we took the kids to the Children's Museum to play for awhile.

Mackenzie & Hannah looking in the mouse hole.

What do you mean it's time to leave???????

Stacie & Adam Visit

Here are some misc pics of Stacie & Adam's visit.

Eating some nummy ice-cream

I think he likes it.

Hannah loves it too!

And Mackenzie is a true Smedley ice cream conneseur. (spelled wrong I know)

Everyone always has to come and play the wii. Not sure what exactly Drew is doing here. An impersonation of a psychotic country dancer?????

Sing it guys! You also gotta karaoke to the Disney Sing It at our house!

After dinnner at Mindy's house. A group photo op. Can't resist. Must take photos!

Adam put on his Buzz Lightyear costume & zoomed around for us.

They go the other way Adam, but you look cute anyway!

Building-2-Bunnies & A Monkey

These seem to be a bit out of order, but we took Mackenzie, Adam & Hannah to Build-a-Bear to make an animal. I think we should be getting some kind of superbonus from BAB because we seem to own at least one of every animal that they have!!! Sheesh! This is Adam checking to make sure his monkey didn't somehow fall out of the box.

Hannah giving her bunny Gabriella a bath.

Adam giving George a bath (he loves Curious George)

Mackenzie giving Malyssa a bath. She likes to spell things funky now.

Ta Da! The finished product!

Making a wish.

Choosing their animals

Say Cheese!

3 is a beautiful number.....

So we watched Hyrum & Hannah for Mike & Mindy overnight last week. I say "we" meaning Drew didn't haul his butt home until after I already had put Hyrum down for bed at about 8:30. It went GREAT for the first 3 hours. They Hyrum got tired. Did I mention Hyrum hasn't been weaned yet? Yeah, he so wasn't gonna eat anything I offered him. It was a long night. Which just reminded me that I am actually too old & fond of my sleep to go thru the baby routine again! I think he slept a total of about 3 hours that night. I finally gave up & put him in bed with me & Drew where he would roll his head over & look at me & cry, go back to sleep, pat me on the face, look at me & cry. He spent some time in the portacrib where he did the same thing. I doubt I am his favorite aunt now, darn it! However, Hannah & Mackenzie had an awesome time trying on ALL of the dress ups & playing with ALL of the toys!

Good thing he is so cute!!!!!

Wax Museum

Kennedy had to do a report on a historical person & then they had a wax museum where they dressed up as the people from their project. She picked Helen Keller. Her friend was Anne Sullivan. They got to sit next to each other & act it out. It was really fun-the costumes were SO creative! This was also Mackenzie's day to build a snowman with her class, but it was too cold to get the snow to pack, so I just took a picture of her running back to her classroom in her snow gear.

Kennedy is wearing vintage clothing-check it out, some of you will recognize this as the dress I wore for my wedding breakfast! Yikes!

These are housewarming tulips from Jodie, next to the suck-up flowers from Drew. And yes, he really DID need to suck up big time. Aren't they so pretty???

Sing It- Wii Style

We hosted the family dinner at our house in January & got everyone down to the basement to sing some Wii karaoke! Oh yeah baby! We won't be quittin' our day jobs!
