Birth Anouncement

Homecoming

My parents returned from their mission to Adelaide Australia on May 30th. Their flight was delayed and what was supposed to be a 4 PM reunion, turned into a 12 AM get together. The whole family was there to greet Grandma and Grandpa.....and we introduced them to Kael.



They came bearing gifts! Moses loved his boomerang, and I loved my whip. Uncle Tim also got a whip....that he used to give himself a nice red welt on his forehead! It was fun to get together and we all had a great time as a family.

First Check Up

Kael had his first health check up today. He is doing great. He now weighs 8.44 lbs and is 21.6 inches long. He is now as big as Moses was at 6 weeks old! Only Kael is even longer than Moses was at that age. It won't be long before Kael is big enough to pick on his older brother!

ZOO

So this last Saturday I convinced LaShauna that we needed to get out of the house (I was going crazy), so we took a trip to the zoo. Moses loved all the animals and even got to pet a couple in the petting zoo. We saw a sleeping tiger, a swinging monkey, a bunch of birds, and A LOT of other animals. Moses' favorite had to be the "Elephant outside." He loved just watching it. Kael tolerated the whole outing!

After the zoo we went to a nearby park and had a picnic. A sister in our ward had made us a great little picnic and just so happened to have delivered it to us that morning so it worked out great. Moses loved to play in the playground and I think everyone got a little sun.

Kael and the Family

The "BOYS"

Movie Time- Moses decided that Kael should be introduced to some of his "classics".... a.k.a. Cars, Green Eggs and Ham, Monster's Inc, The Lorax etc etc

Who's taller?

Hangin with Dad

Napping with Mom

OCD

We always knew that Moses liked his routines, but now we think he might be a little OCD. He loves to line up his cars and then send them down his track. Well, we recently moved his track and this day he started his line of cars a little too close to the couch.....so, instead of moving all the cars or starting over, we found him laying on his tummy with his arm stretched as far as he could reach under the couch....adding to the line of cars!

Kael Douglas

Kael Douglas finally came to join our family one day early, although LaShauna thought he should have come about two weeks ago.

He was born May 9th at 7:54 A.M.

He weighed 7 lbs, 13 oz

And was 20.5 Inches long.

Moses wasn't so sure at first that he wanted a little brother....especially when he realized that he might be coming home with us. But so far I think that he has warmed up to the idea!

Baking Cookies

Really I just had to post these to show off the Mullet. It was soooo sweet, I don't know why LaShauna made me cut it off.

relaxin'

Moses was watching a movie when I took this picture. He had his feet up and he was eating dry cereal from his bowl. He looked surprisingly grown up... and very relaxed!

8 long years

It's official, I'm DONE medical school. I just finished my last exam. So yes, I would now appreciate it if everyone would now address me as "Scott Smith, M.D." (There are WAY to many "Dr.'s" out their....Dentists, PhD's, etc). Plus, it reminds me of Doogie.

Now, I just hope that I can actually practice medicine, pending results of my licensing exam!
