Garrett's Ready for Christmas

Mommy dressed my in my Christmas PJ's and snowmen slippers. I'm getting excited to go to see my Riverside family this weekend, I'm sure I'll get loads of hugs and kisses!

Update on Mystery Paint

FYI the mystery paint is gone...Mandi's theory could be right on since the rain could have washed the seagull droppings away...seagulls in Atascadero? I've heard crazier.

Go Nuts!

Mommy gave my first peanut butter and jelly sandwich today. I ate it all gone, it was really yummy!

Christmas Chaos

This afternoon we met our new friends, Jenn and her son Tanner, who is also our neighbor, at Walmart to do a little shopping. We always have a great time together. She is the cutest thing ever! We both enjoy decorating our homes and doing crafts, so we get along well. It's pretty challenging to shop with Garrett, and he only wants to be inside the shopping cart, so I had to take a pic of what it's like to shop with Garrett...so fun!

More House Pics

Due to an overhelming request for additional house pics...I've attached our bedroom, part of the living room and the office.

EARTHQUAKE!!

We had an 4.1 earthquake tonight. My first reaction was to yell out loud while running down the hall "get the baby!". What great mothery instints!

Mystery Paint

Aaron got home from work tonight and discovered some mystery paint in the driveway...it is so weird why would random paint appear in the middle of the driveway...we can't figure it out...any ideas?
We would like to hear your input:)

The new Polo model

Watch out ladies here comes Mr. G in his new outfit from Grandma! Thanks Grandma!

"Christmas Time is Here..."

In true smith tradition, I have the house decorated with Christmas lights the day after Thanksgiving. I love Christmas time and we are really looking forward to spending time with family. We also went to a Christmas party last night at Ben and Alissa Brite's house. It was an ugly sweater and white elephant party. It was a great time and kind of a singles ward reunion as you will see in the pictures.
Christmas is off to a great start and we are really are looking forward to this special time of year!

Where in the World is Aaron?

I just recently returned from Missouri where I was hunting Whitetail deer for the last week. I still has two trips left, until hunting is over for the year. Sarah will be very happy when I'm able to stay home and not travel so much, but I truly loves my job and that is rare in this world. It was very cold and and wasn't that great of hunting but its what I love and any week hunting is better then a day in the office. Anyway, heading to Texas on Friday December 1st. Giant whitetails in the great state of Texas. I will have some pictures of the Texas trip when I return.

Turkey Day

We had a great time hosting Thanksgiving at our house, we had Aaron's family from Tehachapi here. We cooked our first turkey, I got the recipe from Martha Stewart...it was three pages long, but it turned out really tender. Check out Garrett in his Christmas sweater, he is such a big boy. We even snuck in a family picture in the backyard. We had a memorable day.

Halloween

For Halloween the family went to Trunk-or-Treat at the church. I got Garrett's dino costume at Target, I just love Target. He collected lots of sweet treats for mommy and daddy. As you can tell by all the chocolate on his face, he enjoyed the treats too!

Pumpkin Patch

A couple weeks ago Garrett's mommy and me class went on a field trip to the pumkin patch. Garrett had a great time at the petting zoo, he got to feed his first goat! He is so much fun!

New House

Here is some pics of the new house. We have been working hard to make it our own. Come and visit so you can see the real thing!

Koda the Devil Dog

We are preparing the house for Thanksgiving, since we are having here at the new house, but there are several distractions. Since last week the following "distractions" have occured...the cute puppy ate the drip line in the backyard, broke the fence to play with the neighbors dogs, pooped in the house...or was that the cat?, ate Garrett's pants, and broke two more of the landscape lights.

Need I say more? Please don;t be fooled by his irrestible ways.
