Baby Wyatt is here!

Wyatt Darin Pelosi arrived Monday November 19, 2012 at 5:23 PM.  He weighed 7lbs and 10 oz. and was 19.5 inches long.  His momma and daddy are tired but doing well.  They are staying here for a while in our guest room as I usually stay with the girls a week when a baby is born.  Here is his birthday in living pictures:

Home Sweet Home


A baby will make love stronger, days shorter, nights longer, bank balance smaller, home happier, clothes dirty, the past forgotten, and the future worth living for.

Count Your Blessings- Bella

Brooke Marie's Birthday

We were so excited to spend Brooke's birthday with her.  After two long years she is finally close to home

and we can see her for events like this.  We went to the Gristmill in New Braunfels and had a lovely meal.  Brooke got some updated baby items that she was excited about. Here are pics for the fun night.  Happy 25th Birthday Brooke! So happy you are home!

Count you Blessings, Bella!

Con Man

So he is now a senior.  I usually am pretty tired of my Seniors by now and ready for them to go to college- but not with Connor.  I treasure the moments we get to spend together.  They are limited as he is very, very busy- what with band, school, church, boy scouts, and girlfriend. He does make time to go to the movies with us and come home most nights in time for dinner.  He is a great kid.  He recently earned his Life award in scouts and is on his way to Eagle.  Last weekend was Senior recognition night for Westwood Band.  He is so busy with band trips to Chicago and Washington DC this Spring.  I am just not going to think about graduation yet- I am just not ready.  I am so honored and blessed to be his mom and I thank God for the special gift of Connor.

Senior Night- if you look real closely the drum sticks are pink- the pink out game- in honor of my Cousin Cheryl who leads a valiant fight against breast cancer daily!

Doing what he does best!

Life Award- his momma and daddy are so very proud!



Count Your Blessings, Bella

Halloween Winners

Tme  for the 2012  Halloween Costumes Award.  I think you will agree:

Cutest Award- for being a puppy dog with floppy ears!

Cutest Couple Award- Carter is very serious in his Mickey Mouse as he takes the role on!  Finley is always the Princess!

Best Group Award- even though we did not win at school the kids got a kick out of it.



AHHHH LIfe is fun!

Count Your Blessings!

Texas Fight

Wow has it been a hard year with UT football.  The loss to Oklahoma and W. Virginia were very unpleasant to say the least.  The defense looks awful and last week the offense looked even worse against Kansas.  So at the Smith household we have had to try to focus on other good aspects about Texas football.  For instance Kirk, Jeremy, and Connor get to go to the games and have good "guy time."  We spent September together with lots of family time since Jeremy, Luci, and the kids came down for the games.  We were able to take my Boss' husband to the Baylor/Texas game.  Kirk, Finley, and I were able to go to the OSU/Texas game.  So we have had alot of fun!  Thanks always to Jeremy for taking his family to the games.  We treasure the moments we get to spend with you!

Hope we get to see this against Tech!

Had a great time!

Before the UT/OSU Game

Texas Proud!

Running the flag was a tradition when Kirk and I were students!

As they say about UT- what happens here changes the world!  So proud to be a longhorn!

Count Your Blessings!

Life in Oklahoma

I had the pleasure of spending a week in Oklahoma with the grandkids and new baby.  We had an awesome week.  I got to go to school with Finley to mommy and me music.  I also had a great time just hanging out with the grandkids.  We played, baked, walked, and watched movies.  Bath time and story time were always a hit.  Here are some of the highlights of the week:

Mommy and Me at Finley's School- look at the use of technology!

Party welcoming baby Riley home!

Bath time/down time with daddy

Bella's turn to feed the baby- Finley always helps!

Man it was hard to leave them.  They are all doing fine.  Luci recovers so quickly, she is wondermom!  Jeremy really helps out and they are now a family of 5 WOW!  God is good all the time and all the time God is good!

Count Your Blessings,

Bella

God Bless Riley Hope

Well she is here!  We welcomed Riley Hope Monday at 8:17 AM.  She weighed 6lbs, 3oz.  She is the cutest little thing you have ever seen.  She is well filled out, but tiny with beautiful olive skin like Jeremy and lots of dark, dark hair.  She reminds me of  Brooke, when she was born.  I do see some of Finley's expressions in her when she was a baby.  Finley loves her baby sister and Carter does not seem to notice her.  Both kids have been great for their Bella, Pops, and Aunt Brooke.  We have had an awesome time in Oklahoma.  I will stay here through out the week and help Luci and Jeremy.  Kirk went home today and Brooke and Connor left late last night.  Jeremy is with Luci at the hospital and I am home with the babies.  I couldn't be prouder or happier for Luci and Jeremy. 

Here are the pics to tell the story:

Count your Blessings,  Bella
