End of Summer

Well, here is the latest updates. It has been a while and I apologize for that. Life has been a little tiring.

The whole family is doing well. As you can see, little Alexander has turned into a manbeast. He sure is growing and becoming a little ladies man. He likes to grunt and recently has taking to showing off his dimples.

Little Geneva is really mischevious. Her language is really coming along and she has even taken to eating her vegetables (at least more often).

Madeleine is growing up as well. She has taken swimming lessons this summer and has recently started playing the beautiful game (soccer). Here she is after just scoring her first gggggoooooooooaaaaaaallllllll!

We have also gone camping this summer and have tried to play as much as we can. Since it has been a while, here are some pictures to let you know that Kendra and Kevin are still around:

We hope that you all are doing well and hopefully we will be able to update this a little more than once every six months.

Congratulations to Switzerland!

Just a quick congrats to the Swiss Football (Soccer) Team for winning the World Cup this year. Wait, you might say, but didn't Spain win? Well, not really. Switzerland was the only team which beat the Spanish in the beautiful game for the World Cup, therefore Switzerland is the official winner. If you have any qualms, talk to Geneva, who learned how to say "Go Swiss!"

On a more important note, the whole family is doing well and some more pictures will be going up later this week. Hope all is doing well with you and yours.

Here is the little one!

Well, it took a little while to get out, but Kevin has finally been joined in the ranks of manhood. We are pleased to announce the birth of Alexander Benjamin Smith.

He was born at 12:50 am on June 21. For those of you keeping track, that was still today. He was at birth 7 lbs 10 oz and he was 21" long. He doesn't cry too much, except for when he is getting his diaper changed. He has some blond hair and he wasn't as hairy compared to his sisters when they were born. Anyway, both mom and son are doing well. I'll put up some more pictures when I have a minute, probably tomorrow. (Most of the pictures of Alex make him look a little funny.) Have a wonderful day!

We are still here

Hello one and all! We are still here. Kevin, Kendra, Madeleine, and Geneva are all doing well. Just a quick update - Kendra is going to the hospital tomorrow to have a baby. We are all really excited. I will be putting up some pictures for everyone can see. Hopefully, we will also be able to update this more than once every six months. Hope everyone is doing well. Until tomorrow.

Halloween, Jobs, and More!

Well, well, well. The Smith family is still around, even though the blog hasn't been updated recently. Life has been fairly hectic. It even got so bad that we just about packaged the little girlies up and shipped them to the circus.

First of all, Kevin did find a job. He is working at a local pharmacy doing a bunch of odds and ends. It isn't what he expected, but it helps to pay the bills. It will work out until a more permanent solution is found.

Halloween was fun. We all dressed up and had a fun time. Madeleine was a painter and the big Genf played as an M & M. We got a lot of candy and all our teeth are all about to fall out.

We also had a lot of fun carving pumpkins. Geneva didn't really know what to do with all the pumpkin guts. One final thought from Kevin (actually so with this whole posting). For his birthday, Kevin's Mommy and Daddy got him a rhyming book, because they were so enthralled with the poems that he puts on the blogosphere. So, here is one entitled, An Ode to Autumn:

You hear a witch cackle,

But there is also a skeleton with shakle,

The house is also a ramshakle,

The leaves start to fall,

Where everyone has a ball,

Because they all want to go to Gaul,

This is fall!

Happy Falling Leaves Days!

What to say!!

I don't really know what to say for this post, but I'm sure some people (Grandma Patti) are dying for more pictures.

We have kept busy this summer, a little bit of play, a little bit of work, and a whole lot of job applications. We are still applying for lots of jobs and we have even started getting quite a few interviews. All of the interviews have been in Oregon so far, so Kevin has been traveling back and forth quite a bit. We (the ladies at home) miss him alot when he is gone, but we know it is for the best.

The girls are still growing and learning more and more everyday. I am constantly surprised at how much Maddy and Geneva love each other. They are very affectionate and they love to play together. It is really nice having kids that play together so well.

Well, I really can't think of anything else to say about us right now, but we will post either when we have new pictures or when we have more news. Hope that everyone is doing well!!! (P.S. - Kevin might be blogging again soon. So watch out!)

Summer Fun with Kevin

Well fellow blogging gurus, it is time once again for Kevin to take over. He sortof likes to do this, and y'all can choose whether to read this post or not. Kevin is going through a country redneck hick phase and likes to rhyme, so don't say that he didn't warn you. Hehe!

Getting dressed is a blast,

Getting dressed not in a cast!

Getting muddy is dreary,

Especially when it is not cleary!

It is fun to go hiking with Erin and the Mama,

Especially when we don't meet a bear named Llama!

The two sisters are not always a pill,

Especially when the parents don't have to take the Advil!

Y'all come back ya here,

Kevin will not always post, so have no fear,

Kendra blogs really well

and she will make things clear as a bell,

Kevin will still be a geek,

but we wish y'all a very good week!
