Sunny day, everything's a-okay...

Here are a few pictures from the park on Tuesday afternoon.

Ashlyne, one of her teacher's- Mrs. Samples, and her friend Chloe:

Laney being the monkey that she is:

That's my beautiful girl!

So yesterday was a scorcher- 92* was our high in Tacoma. Good Lord that is warm for May!! I have a feeling it is going to be a very warm summer, which could be good and bad. We'll try to keep it on the good side! I'm already exploring options and making list of things the kids and I can do for free or darn cheap this summer. No sitting at home day after day after day boooored. So wish me luck. If you have any ideas, send 'em my way!

Today is another beautiful Pacific Northwest Day! It is about 82* right now, which I must say I prefer to 92*!

Preschool is all wrapped up for the year. Ashlyne had her last day on Friday and on Tuesday they had a family picnic at the park. One last chance to play and have fun together. She'll be in Kindergarten in September, I can hardly believe it.

Hopefully we'll either be back down in the district and school zone or at the very least, we will get our out of district waiver approved. I'll have a kindergartener, a 5th grader and a 6th grade. And Jordan will be a Senior in high school! It will be busy year, not to mention I'll still have Laney at home!

Have a beautiful Thursday!

Welcome to our blog...

Welcome to the Smith family blog! I thought this might be a fun way to keep all of our family and friends updated on the going on in our lives. Internet is an amazing thing!
So first off, the title of the blog... "Just another day in paradise.." refers to a song by Phil Vassar that makes me smile everytime I hear it. It sounds like my life!

The kids screaming, phone ringing

Dog barking at the mailman bringing

That stack of bills - overdue

Good morning baby, how are you?

Got a half hour, quick shower

Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour

My funny face makes you laugh

Twist the top on and I put it back

There goes the washing machine

Baby, don't kick it. I promise I'll fix it

Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok. It's so nice

It's just another day in paradise

Well, there's no place that I'd rather be

Well, it's two hearts And one dream

I wouldn't trade it for anything

And I ask the lord every night

For just another day in paradise

Friday, you're late

Guess we'll never make our dinner date

At the restaurant you start to cry

Baby, we'll just improvise

Well, plan B looks like

Dominoes' pizza in the candle light

Then we'll tippy toe to our room

Make a little love that's overdue

But somebody had a bad dream

Mama and daddy

Can me and my teddy

Come in to sleep in between?

Yeah it's ok. It's so nice.

It's just another day in paradise.

Well, there's no place that

I'd rather be

Well, it's two hearts And one dream

I wouldn't trade it for anything

And I ask the lord every night

For just another day in paradise

Well, it's ok. It's so nice.

It's just another day in paradise.

Well, there's no place that I'd rather be

Two hearts And one dream

I wouldn't trade it for anything

And I ask the lord every night

For just another day in paradise

For just another day in paradise

Well, it's the kids screaming. The phone ringing

Just another day

Well, it's Friday.

You're late Oh yeah, it's just another day in paradise

So that is why I chose that as the title for this blog. The song is definitely our life!

Tonight is the year end performance at Ashlyne's preschool- they are having a circus! I can't believe it but the preschool year is wrapping up- her last day is Friday. Kindergarten next!

Laney is learning a new word or words every day! Yesterday it was "remote" or "mote" as she says.

Have a great Tuesday!
