Cute Little Newborn Diapers

I so enjoyed using the adorable little bitty newborn cloth diapers (Lil Joey’s). They didn’t last long because our little guy is a heavy wetter :-), but even the girls liked helping me with the laundry. Here are a few pics from the first month. How to order drugs online at cheapest prices? With the […]

Auntie Tiff and Daddy’s Birthday Weekend

On Saturday, October 13, Tiffany had her annual birthday wine tour. Azrelius and I joined while Trevor stayed behind with our sick girls. Then, we went to Ukiah on Sunday.

Ama’s Jog-a-thon

On Friday, October 12, Amabella participated in the jog a thon at Pleasant Hill Christian School. She really enjoyed it. I expected she wouldn’t want to stay for it, but she participated in it for about 45 minutes before I made her get in the car where the rest of the family was waiting for […]

Avalina Sings On Top of Spaghetti

Just thought this video of Avalina from early October was so cute. She loves to sing and read the book, “On Top of Spaghetti.” Your browser does not support the video tag

Adeliza’s Latest Wound

On Thursday, October 11, on a Cemetary tour with Trevor’s family, Adeliza hit her eye on a railing and cut it. We drove home and bandaged it. Then, after the second Cemetary and lunch at Ting Hau, we went to Kaiser where they checked it and glued it. As always, she’s quite a trooper. How […]

Amabella’s Kindergarten Picture Day

Last Thursday, October 4th, Amabella had pictures at Pleasant Hill Christian School. Since I am homeschooling her and we are working with this school, she got her picture taken by herself, with the K-1 class, and with the school. Then, Amabella, Azrelius, & I drove to Oma & Grandad’s house and met up with Adeliza, […]

A Few Pictures

I’ve been meaning to post a few pictures of Azri & our family from his first week and a half, so here are a few to look at. Azrelius is a very good and easy baby. We are so thankful! He sleeps well at night. He’s healthy and content. He really only cries if he […]

Special Presents for the Girls

In preparing for baby brother’s arrival, I picked out 3 different dress-up/role playing outfits for the girls to have someone give them when we were in the hospital. Well, Oma had thoughtfully bought the girls new flip flops and Great Aunt Susan had some special gifts of notepads and stickers for them, so they got […]

Baby Boy’s Birth Story and the Few Days Before

I always like to write down the experience I have in childbirth, mostly for the sake of my own memory. If others are interested, I am happy to share, so here I go. I love to give the back story, so this will be lengthy. 🙂 Over the couple weeks prior to our son’s birth, […]

The Naming Process Unveiled

  *Azrelius – pronunciation (as-rely-us) Naming our children is something Trevor and I take very seriously and take our time doing. Below is a bit of the story of how we got to our son’s name. It is lengthy because I, Tawnya, am writing this. If you prefer an abbreviated version, just give Trevor a […]

Baby Brother Is Here

More info to come, but for now the basic details … Baby Boy Smith was born this morning at 7:17am. He weighed in at 7lbs. 4oz. and measured 19in. long. We are doing well. My mom (“Grammie”), dad (“Papa”), sister (“Auntie Tiff”), & of course Trevor were my delivery support team. We then had visitors […]

Family of Five – Portraits

We had pictures taken at church on August 24th for our new church directory, and I just received the images yesterday. I thought some of them were pretty good. We haven’t taken professional family portraits yet, if memory serves me correctly, so I wanted to have these. Please feel free to select any of the […]

Colossians 3:18- bible view of the family

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them. Children, obey your parents in everything, for this pleases the Lord. Fathers, do not embitter your children, or they will become discouraged. Slaves, obey your earthly masters in everything; and do it, not […]

Colossians 4 Sermon 9-2-12

“Devote yourselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful. And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains. Pray that I may proclaim it clearly, as I should. Be wise in the way you act toward […]

I’m 35!!!

I celebrated 35 yesterday and we’ve been kind of celebrating all week. 🙂 I love spreading out my birthday! I opened my present from Trev (a fun stove-top popcorn popper) on Sunday. Then I opened cards from my sis and Amabella Monday. Tuesday, we had Chinese food & yummy chocolate mousse cake from Oliver’s Market […]

The Girls Being Silly

It is not uncommon for me to find the girls being silly, I suppose that’s a daily pleasure I have. 🙂 Often, they are “pregnant” with babies under their shirt, or have just had a baby. Recently, Avalina came up to me with a doll in her shirt and patted her tummy. She said, “mommy, […]
