30/30/50 Party

October 18th came and went quickly, but what a great time! We celebrated my sister, Tiffany’s, my aunt, Debbie’s, and Trevor’s birthday with a big party at my parents’ house. Family from southern California came as well as other local (& relatively local) family and friends. There was lots of food, visiting, dancing, and sitting […]

Wish Lists

We’ve been asked to start generating Christmas wish lists and a baby wish list. So here is our current list. We will add to it as we think of things. (This in no way is to imply we expect gifts from those of you viewing the site. It is only posted to make it easier […]

Tawnya’s Great-Aunt Dolores’ 80th Birthday Party

Saturday, October 11, family members gathered at Tawnya’s parents’ house for a party honoring her Great-Aunt Dolores’ birthday. It was a great time visiting with family who haven’t seen each other in a very long time. Trevor worked and also wasn’t feeling well, so he didn’t make it, but I was thrilled to go. We […]

Amabella is 9 Months Old!!

Wow, how time flies! Amabella is already 9 months old. We went to the doctor for her check up yesterday and she’s right at the 50th percentile for everything. She weighs 18lbs. 8.6oz. (That may sound light to some of you, but it feels like a ton to me.). She is 27 1/4 inches long/tall. […]

A Name for Baby Girl #2

So, as with Ama, we really are trying to come up with a list of names before the new baby is born. However, we didn’t really use a name from our list with Amabella, so who knows what we will decide once we see the baby. Many of you are asking if we have any […]

MxPx Show at the Phoenix

After MANY years, Trevor and I went to the local Phoenix theater to see MxPx play again in concert. It was so much fun to go with our friends and hear music from years ago. They played mostly songs from old albums, which brought me back to when Trevor and I first started dating. I […]

Tiffany’s 30th Birthday Wine Tour

Saturday, October 4th, I was able to join my sister for her 30th birthday wine tour visiting four wineries in Healdsburg. The 16 of us had a lot of fun on the 24 person limo bus. We had snacks, lunch, & goodies to share. Some of us tasted the wine while others of us were […]

Going to Brandon’s House

My brother, Brandon, and cousin, Andy, are working on putting the roofing on the addition to their home. My dad and other family and friends have been helping. This evening Amabella and I went over to say hi. It’s great to have Brandon just a couple blocks away. Ama had lots of fun.

A Great Group of Friends

We have a really great group of friends! We have the privilege of getting together with then each weekend. Everybody loves Ama. Before we can even sit down at a restaurant, someone has taken her to hold and play with her. This weekend we went to dinner both Friday and Saturday. Friday there were 13 […]

They Say It’s A Girl

So we went to our apointment this morning and we’re told that our second baby is going to be another girl. Amabella will have a little sister. Below is a blurry sonogram pic. 🙂

Guess: Boy or Girl

So, we’re a little behind in the game, but, since we plan to find out our baby’s gender tomorrow, we’d love to know your guess. Email me and let us know if you think the baby will be a boy or girl. tawnyasmith@gmail.com

Going to my Friend’s Baby Shower

We had a nice baby shower after church today. It was nice to spend time just with the girls and women from church. Jennifer is due October 17 and will be having her third little one. We can’t wait for another baby at church. Ama has to learn about the little ones before her brother […]

Baby Smith #2: Boy or Girl

So our family is getting bigger. It’s hard to believe, but I’m half way through this pregnancy already. On Monday, Trevor, my mom, and I will go to Kaiser and hope to see a healthily growing baby as well as find out if Ama will have a baby brother or sister. I’m looking forward to […]

Graham’s Country Crafts

Last weekend the three of us helped Trevor’s grandparents, parents, and sister at a big sale at his grandparents’ craft shop. Today Amabella and I are helping again. Ama is doing great entertaining herself in the pack n play “reading” her bible.

Teaching Second Grade

I am teaching second grade this year part time and really enjoying it. Although it’s hard to leave Ama so long on those days, I know she has lots of fun with her grandparents and auntie and uncles. I enjoy getting to teach all the subjects again! The past three years I taught reading, which […]

Amabella’s New Friend Makenna

My good friends Diana and Mark had their adorable little girl 5 1/2 weeks early. She came the day after my birthday. It was perfect – they joined my friends for my birthday dinner on Friday and Makenna was born on Saturday. It took two weeks until I could meet her since I was sick. […]

Learning to Crawl

Amabella was still learning to crawl here. She finally really started crawling at 8 months on September 6th – motivated by daddy’s iPhone.

Amabella’s New Friend Mason

Amabella has a new friend, Mason. He was born the end of July to our friends Josh and Liz. Ama and I had the privilege to see them when he was pretty little. She wasn’t sure what to think when I held him so long. She’ll have to get used to that.
