This is our little motor cycle man at the Clark County Fair and Rodeo two weekends ago. He had alot of fun riding the rides and seeing the bulls and cowboys.

The day after the rodeo Bud and I had to make the long journey to Carlsbad California, which is always so much fun. We left Gabe with Grandma and Grandpa Smitherman for the night and headed south to the beach.

Of course it was supposed to be for business, Bud had a job interview and test with the City of Carlsbad, but I couldnt pass up the chance to leave town with my hubby and go to our favorite place. 

We drove around and looked at Apartments and rental houses, visited our favorite places to hang out when Bud used to live there. Enjoyed Calima's and Harbor Fish and Chips, as well as walking the pier and the beach.

Bud went Monday to take his test, and I went and toured some apartments and the church we would go to if we end up being able to move down. The church was amazing and the preschool was so cute and definitely a place I would be comfortable taking Gabe. I could tell they would really take good care of him, and teach him great values as well as a love of Jesus. 

We will find out in the next few weeks if an offer comes in, I'll keep you posted!!

So we here at the Smitherman household have had a very busy couple of months, and I have not been good at posting so here's a quick update. We spent Buds 26th birthday enjoying some good old fashion "redneck" fun down at Nascar in Las Vegas. My inlaws, Dalton and Carolyn, our little boy Gabe, our friends Lee and Steve and of course Bud and I had a good time tail gating and enjoying some brewskies at the race although it was very cold and windy.

About a month ago Bud and I went to go see Alice in Wonderland which was amazing and very fun to see however when we came out of the movie we were greeted by a nice surprise.

But after more than a month of fighting insurance and dealing the father of the 16 year old girl who hit and ran our vehicle, buds baby is good as new.

Easter was so much fun for Gabe, now that he is the age that he is its a real treat to watch him on such fun holidays. He woke up Easter morning and the Easter bunny had left a trail of eggs down the stairs to a hidden Easter Basket. With every step her took he would make the funniest noise expressing his surprise and dis belief with every step.

We had Easter service at Tuahcan Amphitheater, and I couldn't imagine a more beautiful place to celebrate the resurrection of our lord and savior than Tuahcan. It is simply amazing and if you have ever been there you would probably agree. It truly shows how much our lord loves us, he created gorgeous places like this for us 

.

to enjoy and worship him.
