Reese is 2!

It is official!  Our baby girl is now a two year old! We had a nice, relaxing, fun filled birthday day today.  We began our day with pancakes and then went to the Brushy Creek Splash pad for a little birthday party. Reese loved the water and the sand.  We came home for lunch and a nap and then ordered pizza, watched a movie and had cake and presents. The boys enjoyed spoiling her all day and we had fun watching her enjoy her special day.

Reese, you have completed our family in more ways than we could ever have imagined.  You are so ery special to us and we love you so much!  Happy Birthday sweet girl!

4th of july

Happy 4th of July!  We had a great day trying out a new parade and fireworks show at Wells Branch this year.  We loved the convenience and smaller feel of it all and the weather was wonderful. Think the Smiths have found a new 4th tradition.

CHildren's Museum

While the boys were in AR, Reese and I took a trip to the Childrens museum with Nate and Jacelyn one morning.  Here are a couple of pictures.

Grandma and Grandpa visit

After our trip to wolf lodge, the boys went home with Granna and Grandad.  They spent a week in AR at Grandparent camp, spending time with both sets or grandparents.  They watched movies, went swimming, went to a cave, built a treehouse and much more.  Pictures will have to come later courtesy of the grandparents.

Grandma and Grandpa brought the boys back after a week and they stayed the next week, watching our kids and our cousins Ethan and Grant also for a few days while I worked at track camp in the mornings.  We had a great visit and enjoyed more time with family this summer.

Leggoland

Great Wolf Lodge

Our vacation this year was to the famous Great Wolf Lodge we had heard so much about.  It truly met all our expectations and then some.  We had a blast!  We arrived there on Thursday a little after 1.  Of course, we went straight to the water park, checking it all out and playing all evening, with a small break for dinner.  Granna and Grandad arrived later that evening and joined in the fun.  The next day we played in the water park until around 1 and then ate lunch and did some shopping.  After dinner we got in more swim time as well!  Saturday morning we got up for our last round at the water park and then off to LeggoLand (next post).

The boys had so much fun on the slides and in the splash pad/tree house and especially the wave pool.  Reese loved the kiddie areas as well.  All in all it was a great time had by all!
