Happy Birthday Eric!

Yesterday Eric turned 25! He is getting so old. :) We celebrated with the Smith side of Eric's family by having a big barbeque and a fun game of White Elephant. Eric got lots of nice gifts, including money for his on-going jeep project. :) We ate mint chocolate chip ice cream cake and Connor spent most of the night watching the movie "Cars." It was a great party. Happy Birthday Eric!

Puppy Love

This weekend we added a new member to our family...our new puppy Dana. She is a three month old weimaraner puppy. She is a sweet dog and a fun addition to our home. She loves to be around our family and Eric and Connor love her to pieces. We are excited to have her with us!

The Jeep Project

My husband is obsessed with jeeps. He has been ever since we got married and he has loved to work on cars his whole life. He is currently in the process of rebuilding this red jeep from the ground up. It is quite the project, and it will be a lot fun to go off-roading in once it is all put back together. One thing I really like about this project is how Eric always takes Connor with him whenever he works on the jeep. They get some really great "Father/son" time and I get some great alone time! I took these pictures so we could document the progress the boys are making. I also included some other pictures of Connor that I took around the house and at the park. Enjoy!

Beach Fun

This summer my mom and the kids spent most of the summer in Huntington Beach. We had a blast visiting them often and living it up at the beach. There are a lot of fun memories and here are some fun pictures from this summer.

Friends in Town

This weekend some of our very best friends from Utah came down to visit us. Both Brandon and Riley served missions with Eric, so it's really great that we have stayed so close with them and their wives. We took them downtown to visit the Strip, where we saw the garden room at the Bellagio, the lions at the MGM, and ate at the Cheesecake Factory in the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. It was a great weekend! 

Larkin Family Reunion

Every year we go camping at Duck Creek for the Larkin family reunion. This year the family brought up five of their old MG cars and we were able to have fun driving them all over the mountain. Connor absolutely loved going on these little car rides, and when we weren't driving, he wanted to sit in the drivers seat and push all the buttons he could find. We had a lot of fun spending time with our family and camping out in the woods!
