October was a good month:)

Avery turned 4!! We took her to Disneyland on her bday and then had a small cousin party for her Sailor style.

Liam turned ONE!! We had a combined party with his cousin Nixon at the beach. This guy LOVED his cake:)

Liam the lion man was a lion for Halloween and was quite adorable:)

Avery was a sailor girl and loved her costume:)

November has been good to us too! At the beginning of the month we moved to SAN CLEMENTE. We love waking up to this gorgeous view and love our new town:)

We have been having a lot of fun! We just got back from a fun trip to Zion and St. George. Before I blog about those fun happenings I decided it's time to unload some phone pics:)

Behind on Blogger

It's been almost 2 months since I last updated so here are a bunch of posts in a row:) All is well with our fam. We LOVE our Liam boy and our Avery girl and they are both growing up faster then we imagined.

Liam is now a mover, talker, sitter, baby food eater and water lover. Avery is still our spunky funky girl. We are off to the river tomorrow and can't wait! It's Liam's first time:)

Water Babies

Just like his big sis Liam LOVES the water! Swimming is his new favorite hobby:)

Fun in the sun at the Catamaran Resort. Can't wait for summer!

Tree Swinging

We went with a bunch of friends out to this amazing tree swing. It was awesome. Avery had no fear and had a blast swinging around!

Hip Hop'n Easter

Easter was wonderful. It's one of my favorite holidays. Avery had a fun time celebrating with her Joyschool class

And we had a wonderful time celebrating with family. Smith parties are always wild and crazy! This one was nothing short of that:) Happy VERY belated Easter!

Hair-emony Ceremony

People were starting to compare Liam's do to Justin Beiber's or the Beetles'

Avery told us her brother was starting to look like a sister

So we gave little dude the chop suey ... bye bye rockstar mullet

Hello teenage looking Liam

We love our little lion man ... long mane or short:)

Weekend Adventures

A few weekends ago we visited the pirate ships in downtown San Diego. Avery was frightened of the pirate until he called her a princess and gave her a red ruby:)

The next weekend we visited Balboa fun island in Newport. We did all of things I liked to do as a kid. We took the ferry, rode the ferris wheel and had a sprinkle dipped balboa bar:) Yum!

It made Vday that much sweeter!

Our little dude turned 3 months yesterday. He is such a sweet baby. I feel like we've had him forever.

We joined Noelle's pre-school class on their field trip to Sea World this week. The girls had a blast!

I took Avery today to have her first tennis lesson and the teacher stood us up :( We had fun playing anyway:) Can't believe it's January with this amazing weather. We have been loving it!

Two Peas in a pod

I took this picture of Liam last week and felt like I was having deja vu. I was looking at some old pictures of Avery today and found out why. So cute. I miss baby Avery and her squishy cheeks!
