We went to church with Rachel's family while in Utah and Koy, Brax, and Brady walked home afterwards. The boys loved it and the weather was so nice.
While visiting Anne's family, I had to get a picture of little miss Kennedi with her beloved kitty Dawson. He is so big and fluffy now, and I hear a very good kitty.
Katy came to David's wedding, but she also planned our baby shower. She is from my home ward in Thibodaux. It was good to see her again too.
Rachel, Anne, and I were lucky enough to have a baby shower for all our baby girls that were coming. Well, Peyton showed up before. It was neat to be with my sisters again and to be pregnant again with them. It kind of helps bond us even though we live so far apart. Rachel is due March 22, but is getting induced Wed, March 18. She is naming her "angel" :) Madison.
Our guests and family.
Us opening our presents from Gigi. She got us the cutest outfits in 3 different sizes and even jewelry for the new moms too.
Gigi, Mary, Mom, and David all made it from my side. It was good to have family around again.
Awww, baby Peyton all decked out at the shower. I got Anne, Rachel, and I the same material to make blankets for our babies. This is the one Anne made, I think it turned out really cute.
Mimi, Brax, and Koy in the sweaters she got them.
Everyone on the Smith side that made it-Angie, Mom, Melanie and cousins.
M
y friend Michelle came to my shower. It was so good to see her since it has been over a year. She gave me the cutest stuff for Scarlett too: a purple bumbo, a princess blanket she made, and hair bows and bands.
Gigi and the cousins at our baby shower.
The triplets causing trouble!
Waiting for Rachel at her doctor's appointment.
Dakota and baby Peyton.
Koy loved David's alligator. I don't think he knew that they were live animals. His room is covered in alligator decorations and Kable tells him alligator bed time stories a lot, so he thought these were really cool.
Playing "I had a little doggy" with Mimi at Anne's house.
Koy and Joe Joe. The boys had their own party while us girls had the bridal shower. Of course the boys had to stop in when it was over and eat the leftovers!
A few of the guests! Christy, Kat, and Rach who wouldn't look at the camera! I don't know why!
Gumballs for every wrong answer about David!
The lingerie we got Kayla! I made her try it on!
We got to see Papa G and Nana shortly while there. They were kind to let us sleep there and Koy really loved seeing them. He was a little confused about the concept of two grandmas, but sure was happy about it. He kept asking me the next day if he could play with Nana. Too bad we couldn't stay longer.
Back!
Front!
The cutest! Right out of the temple!
Chode! Side note-Richard got engaged to his girlfriend Christy the morning after David's wedding. He used my grandma's ring for an engagement ring. We were all so excited because they've been dating for a while, and we love Christy. They are getting married in Idaho though, because that is where Richard served his mission. Guess we'll be making another trip that way on May 9th! Ouch, I'll only be a month away from delivery. That's going to be one long car ride! At least this time Kable will be able to go, but it will be a short trip. Like leave Wed afternoon, come back Saturday night. Ugh!
David's side, my immediate family, Great Grandpa Tebbs, Gigi, Tessa, Jeff Tebbs family, Dave and Cher Lewis were there, but didn't get in I guess.
The boys at the temple!
The girls at the temple!
Great Grandpa Tebbs came for David's wedding too! It was so fun to see him.
Ingrid and her cute boys, Braden and Jaren.
The triplets!
Brax had to be bribed with food for a picture.
Koy and Rubee, hilarious! The kids were really good for having such a long day and hanging out at the reception for so long.
Our close friends Jessica and Ingrid. We go back to college days-RICKS, and it was so good to see them again. It has been too long! I love that weddings bring everyone together again.
The boys!
OK, so this isn't the best picture, but it's the only one I have of our whole family. So, see if you can make anyone out!
The sisters! I had to copy Kat and strike a model pose!
This is the cutest! I love how Koy has his hands in his pockets! Kids are great! Last shot of the night. My mom made the cake and I think it turned out really cute. They were nice and didn't smash too much cake on eachother. That night they stayed at the Anniversary Inn and 2 days later flew to Louisiana for the other reception at my parents house. They went to Grand Isle for their honeymoon. Which is a tiny island about 2 hours from Thibodaux on the Gulf Coast. Kind of a cool place.
When I asked Kable to take a picture of us, Koy excitedly asked, "me?" He was so thrilled to get one taken of himself. So cute! He picked out this heart with candy in it for his Valentine Day's present. Jane was nice to watch him that night, so we could go out together with out him.
So, normally I would not post this nice picture of my double chin, but it's the only one we got together, so my vanity can be put aside! :) Kable surprised me with tulips, chocolate, and pink ear buds to work-out with. My favorite part was our dinner out at Chili's. I love their Texas Cheese Fries!
So, here I am in my pregnant glory. Finally a shot. My sisters have been bugging me to see a picture. I think I am 23 weeks in this picture. Sometimes it seems to go so slow, but the whole labor thing can wait!
Mimi got Koy and Braxton new matching pj's. They loved it. These two really hit it off as friends while there. The first day they started calling each other their best friend and from that point on it was mischief.
Had to get a shot of the "triplets" at bath time. Poor Rubee got left out a lot this trip because Koy and Braxton seemed enthralled with each other. Interesting how soon boys and girls have different interests.
We went to this place in Thibodaux where kids could play on all these blow up jumping toys. The kids loved it of course. Yeah for Thibodaux finally getting a place like this.
Koy loved the baseball one where he could practice his switch hitting.
Joe is always the kid magnet.
It was like 75 degrees most of the time we were there, so most of the kids ran out of their summer outfits to wear. Lucky for dollar stores!

The kids loved making rounds on Pop's four wheeler. We would drive around the pond making sure to run over all the fire ant piles we could find, and then stop to pick grapefruit and oranges on their trees.
This is New Year's Eve. Pops lit the bonfire and we roasted smores and played kick the can and set off fireworks. Koy loved kicking over the can even when he was supposed to be protecting it!

Rubee!
Koy and Kennedi
Christy, Joe, Mom, Rachel, Brady all watching fireworks during one of the few cold nights.
Anne, Rubee, Kathryn, Dakota, Melanie, Koy enjoying the show. Kathryn broke her nose during one of her basketball games while we were there. Bad luck Kat! She even had to have surgery.
Sparklers!
Snakes or worms, whatever you want to call them. We couldn't find Koy's only jacket, so he wore a sweatshirt Mimi dug out of our old boxes from when we were kids. Hilarious. The LSU hat is too!
My friend Melanie came to visit my crazy family and I for a few days, so we made a trip to New Orleans to show her around. This is Rachel and Braxton watching one of the people statues in Jackson Square.
Here is a street band that was playing at Jackson Square, they weren't bad either.
Melanie and I outside the Riverwalk Mall by a riverboat. We ate at a restaurant near Cafe' DuMonde on the French Quarter too. I had a shrimp poboy and Melanie an oyster poboy. While we ate, a band played and Rachel requested "You are my Sunshine." They wanted us to come sing with them, but Rachel wouldn't go, so I finally stepped up and sang the song almost by myself with the band. It was so fun and hilarious. I don't have a picture, but Rachel is supposed to send me one.
Koy and Braxton worn out from all the fun.
I had an old high school friend reunion with Kelly LeBlanc and Kim Richard (maiden names). It was so great to see them again and to see their little ones too. We met at Kim's house which is just down the road from my parents and let the kids play.
Koy absolutely loved this little "gator" tractor that Nate had. He was driving it all over the road, and wasn't happy to give back the wheel!
Sticker face!
Koy and Braxton loved going in the bathrooms and unrolling toilet paper, flushing the toilet excessively, and doing whatever else they could think of that they weren't supposed to do. Koy was just starting potty training and so there were many trips to the bathroom. Well, we hadn't seen the boys in a while and then Rachel heard them in the bathroom. We ran in there and this is what we saw! Koy had gone to the #2 bathroom on his own, and was washing his hands when I think they got a little sidetracked with the water. Braxton had Koy's #2 on his hands trying to help wipe Koy's little bottom and Koy was squirting Brax's head with soap. Brax said he was trying to clean up when we walked in there. He had a soaking wet towel and the floor was soaked too. Koy's pants were around his ankles and they both had this naughty look on their faces! So, we stripped them down and put them in the shower. Pretty hilarious, now!

So, the highlight of our family Chirstmas was when we all opened our guns! Kable had no idea I was getting him one and I had no idea David was getting me his old one. Kable got Koy his toy shotgun as a surprise, so we were all surprised. I have never seen Kable so excited over a gift. He went right over to my brothers and started asking them questions about it. I think he even went out to the pond that same day and tried to shoot some turtles! Poor turtles! Once it warms up in Kansas, I know what our next family outing will be!
Koy was so excited over this "choo-choo" long before he opened it. He saw it when I brought it in the house from the store and when I wrapped it, but I thought for sure that he would forget. Well, apparently not. He even showed it to Braxton and tried to open it and play with it before Christmas. There were a lot of presents under the tree, but he knew which one was the choo- choo.
Joe, Rubee, Rach, and Chode Christmas morning.
Kable opening his prize present! I was so excited! Thanks to my dad who helped with the purchase, and my brothers who helped pick it out.
Davie Crockett and Kayla got engaged in the French Quarter on this trip! Yeah, we are so excited to finally have a brother married off. They are getting married Feb 28 in the SLC temple. I think Kayla was a little overwhelmed by the family, but overall she did well I think! Koy loved the train bath toys they got him.
Good thing Mimi had extra stockings because I realized this year that I still need to make one for Koy!
We had a lot of fun playing football, even though not as many people could play this year considering all the sisters are pregnant again, not counting Kat. I switched in and out with Kat during the games, and my team won! I even made a touchdown!
Cool picture of Joe throwing the ball.
Even more hilarious picture of Kat running a route. Did I mention that my famiy is intense, in everything we do?!
We helped out a little around the house while there too. My dad seems to always have jobs for everyone when we come for vacation. Kable got to powerwash the front walk way. Doesn't he look enthused?
Having a picnic on my parents wrap around porch. I love that porch!
Koy modeling his big boy underwear!
