Our New Home

Well...I'm sure you all have been wondering if it really happened or not, and yes it did! As of November 10th Courtney and I are no longer residents in Arkansas, we have officially moved to Kansas. After weeks of searching for homes, we finally found a place in Olathe, KS just south of Kansas City. The move went GREAT! We hired Two Men and a Truck to pack and move us....they were amazing! They packed and moved our entire house in two days. Plus it took all the stress off of me having them do ALL the work.


Oh yeah uncle Curt came to say goodbye to us and wish us a farewell on moving day.....looking good boys! :)

So, this past week I have been a busy little bee trying to make this new house...home! Courtney and I are very excited about the new adventures and memories we will be making here in Kansas with Gavin. We are looking forward to being closer to family and making new friends! The past few days I wake up and can't believe how much my life has changed in the past few months. Having Gavin, new home, new city.....it seems like it is all happening so fast. I know one day I'm going to wake up and Gavin is going to be 18 and graduating....but until then I'm loving all the change and soaking up every second of my little man and our new life in KC!

Here are some pictures of our new house. This house is actually bigger than our last house, so my mother and I went shopping and she got us a new sectional for our lower family room as a house warming gift.  Thanks mom!! :)



Gavin is 3 Months!

I know this is a few weeks late...but my little man is 3 months already! These past three months have been the BEST 3 months of my life. Gavin brings Courtney and I so much joy and happiness. He truly is a blessing and we love him more than life itself! Here are some pics of our little 3 month old boy.


Gavin you have such a big smile that lights up your face and brings so much joy to my life. I wake up every morning so excited to see your smiling face staring back at me from your crib. You are a great little sleeper at night, you go to sleep around 8 or 8:30pm each night, then waking up only once around 4am to eat, then go right back to sleep until 8am.

Watching you grow as been so amazing. You are able to do so many things now.....you can hold her head up on your own, you can roll over from your tummy to your back, you LOVE to smile and laugh, and you love sitting in your bumbo seat. You also have started to grab at your toys hanging from your jungle gym. We can't wait to see what this next month will bring and what new adventures and milestones you will overcome.  Happy 3 months Gavin Bo!

Happy Halloween

Ok, so I know I'm about a week behind in posting these pictures. Things have just been a little crazy in the Smith house, as we are moving to Kansas City this weekend! So this was Gavin's first halloween and given that he LOVES his bath and water....he deiced he wanted to be a little goldfish (aka Nemo).

Since Gavin was to little for trick or treating this year we decided to read some halloween books, crave pumpkins and eat a LOT halloween candy (mainly just mom) to celebrate!
