Smith Family

I've been staying up till midnight the last couple nights trying to get everything done for my calling and my music class that starts NEXT WEEK! Yikes, I am not ready. Midnight is way past my bedtime which made for a very tired mommy. Yesterday while nursing Brandon I fell asleep and when I woke up I couldn't find Audrey. She rarely ever takes naps, so after checking the normal spots around the house that she would play I checked outside and there was nobody. I panicked. I started knocking on every one's doors and soon the whole neighborhood was out looking for her. Someone mentioned to call the cops so I did. There were lots of people looking around the house, under beds, in closets and drawers. I've never in my life felt more horrified and helpless. I went in my bedroom to say a prayer and saw Audrey asleep in the sink with nail polish smeared all over her body. The SINK! I don't know how we all missed her, but I clung onto her and sobbed and sobbed. I don't ...

Sometimes she demands that we call her by Alice, Cinderella, mommy, or Isabel. Sometimes she pretends she's going to school with her backpack and walks down the street then returns with imaginary homework she needs to complete. This particular morning she was a baby who insisted on wearing a 12 month dress,. crawling around the house and drinking from a bottle and I give in to it Whoever this little gal is I love the heck out of her, and the little guy wondering what the heck is going on in this photo. Audrey is attempting her first sleep over at her cousins/best friends house. I'm pretty certain we will be making a drive in the middle of the night to go get her. It's not uncommon for her to get scared and jump into bed with us in the middle of the night. While it's nice to not have to worry about her for the evening Pete and I both mentioned we kinda miss her!!

Our first ride was the carousel. Waiting for the parade. I loved watching Audrey watching it. My mom made it just in time for the fireworks. They are spectacular and I love that it snows afterwards. On main street. Audrey showing off her gloves that Granny Jules got her. It was a full packed first day and she was all tuckered out. Riding the tram I would tuck Brandon right into my jacket so he would stay warm :) We met a lot of characters. Here's Tinkerbell and Pluto This is at Ariel's Grotto. Audrey was a little star struck I think. Ariel is her favorite. We made reservations to eat here planning on using our reward points, but later learned we could use our points to buy park tickets through AAA. Since it's $35 an adult we kept going back and forth debating if we should really do this since $70 is more than I spent at the grocery store each week. We decided to go for it and I'm so glad we did. For $35 you get a drink with free refills, appetizers, a meal, and a lovely...
