Christmas 2006

December has been a busy month for us. I turned 24 and feel a lot older. McKenzie got her ears pierced (they are super cute) and is eating fruits and veggies like crazy. It was also her very first Christmas, which we celebrated here in Utah. Over all it was a fun and exciting year. We appreciate all the love and support from everyone!! 2007 will keep us incredibly busy as McKenzie becomes mobile, I will be going back to school, hopefully Heath will finish up his schooling, & Mom & Dad will finally start building their new house! Love you all very much. Have a fabulous New Year.









This is Heath's favorite pic of AJ.

Notice the family resemblance.

Grandma Smith is chatting with Aunt Myrna.

Family Photos

Our year has been filled with family pictures. This is my Mom's side.

We've never had one with all of us.

Back Row: Blaine, Denise, Dad, Mom, Heath

Front Row: Jessica, AJ, Kent, Granmere, Me, & McKenzie

4 Months

McKenzie just had her 4 month check. Weighing in at 16 lbs exactly (92%) and 26 inches (95%) she is a really healthy baby. Grandpa was concerned about her choking attacks, turns out it's just acid reflux, nothing to be worried about. She has finally figured out how to eat from a spoon and is enjoying rice cereal very much. We might try some fruits next week. I can't believe how big she is getting, I still picture her as the 8 lb. 9 oz. newborn she was. Also, McKenzie gave the nurses a run for their money while getting her shots!! We are very close to rolling over too.

Thanksgiving I

The whole family made it up to Flint & Coleen's house for Thanksgiving.

Back row: Isaac, Heather, Heath, McKenzie, Me, Coleen, Flint

Thanksgiving II

Here's a cute photo of the Grandparents & Grandkids.












We think Jesse could have a future in politics.










Carol's dog Dolly just had puppies a few weeks ago, here is the little boy, he was such a good sport. McKenzie's toy is about 2" x 4" to give you an idea of how small he is.

Willys Jeep

This is Heath's new "project." He calls it his Jeep. They're in black and white because it makes it look a little nicer, actual color: turquoise.

Halloween

McKenzie was the cowardly lion. Mommy was Dorothy. Shelby doubled as Toto and the Witch.

Johnsons/Smiths I

I stole some photos from my Aunt Denise (I hope she doesn't mind).

My cousin Jessica with McKenzie. They almost share the same birthday.


This is a sweet picture!! My cousin AJ with McKenzie at one week old.

This is Uncle Blaine (Mom's Brother), AJ, Mom, and Jessica. My Mother is going to kill me, Denise did it first.






Granmere (Mom's Mom) and her husband Kent. She doesn't usually like getting her picture taken so this will probably be worth money someday. :)

Johnsons/Smiths II

My Aunt Denise and her Grandma (Gigi).

Jessica just recently attended her first dance.

She looks very grown up in her formal.


This is one of the last Christmases in the old house.











Grandma Smith with cousin James playing poker (a favorite holiday pastime).





My Aunt Shelley (Dad's Sister).

Kalea's Birthday

This past weekend we went up to Casper to visit for Kalea's Birthday. We had a great time. In case your wondering McKenzie did really well on the 6 hour drive there.

Carol (Heath's Mom) with McKenzie at Johnny J's for Kalea's Birthday. McKenzie had a hard time being away from her "routine" at home. She threw a huge fit!!

Heather (Heath's sister) and Isaac having some supper.

Dave (Heath's Dad) enjoying his Granddaughters.

Brrrr.....It's cold in Wyoming!!

Here Carol & McKenzie are sitting with Madison, Keisha, Dolly, Chaz, Buster, & Kai.

Two Months

McKenzie just had her 2 month visit. She is 12 lbs. 13 oz. which puts her in the 85% for her age. She is 23 1/2 in. (90%). Doctor says everything looks really good and she is super healthy (no worries about under feeding). P.S. McKenzie doesn't like needles.
