We were lucky enough to have my parents come and visit us for a few days.  It was so exciting to have our first visitors.  We were all very excited and Jackson loved having Grandma and Grandpa Reeder sleeping in his room.  Thank you so much mom and dad for coming out—it meant a lot to us and we were sad to see you go.

We put my dad to work—he installed our blinds and they look awesome (i’ll have to post a after shot).

Every fall Kirksville puts on a arts and crafts festival called Red Barn.  I was quite impressed with this little town.  They have over 100 vendors come and set up booths.  Lots of cute stuff and of course greasy food.  They had a kids area that Jackson had a great time in.

We went out to 1000 Hills (state park) which is only 10 miles from our house.

We gave Olivia her first little hair cut.  She was sportin’ a serious comb over.  I was holding on to the last of her long precious baby hair.

Tyler was able to give us the tour of the school and his lab, which was really nice to see.  We had a lot of fun and of course the time flew by.  It was great having the extra hands around and to have my dad cook us a delicious meal.  Thanks mom and dad, we love you.

And now meet the new addition to the Smith home—-Millie (named after Millcreek canyon, one of Ty’s favorite places to ride).  We bought Millie at Red Barn.  Tyler finally got his dog—I’ve been telling him he could get one once we were in Missouri.  She is a good little puppy and once we’re done with all the house training I’ll be a happy girl.  We bought her from an animal rescue,  she was found on the side of the road with her 5 siblings inside a taped up box—-we couldn’t resist.  They think she is a mix of a boxer and lab.  Jackson adores her and she loves to follow him around.  She is fond of Olivia as well, yesterday she jumped in her car seat and sat on her lap.  She is a cutie.
