David stayed home to study for his big CFA test coming up in June, so he missed all the fun. One of the best parts of the weekend was seeing all my nephews together!
Because we all live in different states and have different schedules, we are only able to get the whole family together maybe once or twice a year, so any time we get to spend together is special. We used this opportunity to take some family pictures. The last time we had a family picture taken was 2007! Here are some of the shots:
Unfortunately, it stormed ALL weekend, so we didn't get out of the house much. We did get to cheer on Jackson at his baseball game on Friday night right before the storms hit.
The boys were supposed to have soccer games on Saturday morning, but they were canceled because of the rain. So our Saturday was more low key. After our photo shoot, Jamie and Braden went around to visit with other family and friends, and I went home to spend time with my parents. On Sunday, Jennifer and the boys came over for breakfast before Jamie, Braden, Chase, and I headed home. Dad made omelets, bacon, eggs, and biscuits. Mmm mmm mmm!
That was about it for the weekend. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed spending a few days with my family. Long overdue!
In other news, Baby Smith #2 is on the way (due Oct. 29)!! Jamie told me a few weeks ago but I was sworn to secrecy until she could tell the rest of her extended family this past weekend. We are all SOOO happy for Jamie and Shan. And we're all excited to add another bundle of joy to this growing family. Well, everyone except Braden. He's not so sure about the whole thing just yet, but he'll be a great big brother once he gets used to the idea. ;)
Happy (belated) Easter!

CHASE, It sure was good to see you and thanks for bringing your Mommy with you, maybe next time after your Daddy gets through studding he can come also. He does know that he missed the "Daddy Burgers" I hope (I know that and smokey links are some of his favorits), but it sure was good to have all the other family here and I can't hardly wait until we can do it again. Love you guys very much..

Dana - it was so good to see you! I'm glad that you and Chase made it - maybe next time our hubbies will get to join in on the fun! I'm sure that we'll be seeing you in Florida late October/early November when we welcome the new baby. I love you baby sister!
