Here we are in "color and black n white" on the beautiful island of Okinawa. We enjoy the view of this beautiful water that surrounds us. Thanks so much to our friend Stephanie Blacketer for spending this morning with us and capturing our joy. It was no small undertaking to get all 11 of us together, work, schedules etc....for 1 1/2 hour of time and not to mention the weather needed to be perfect and it was.....


Our Family of 12. Count them and see for yourself. Oh yeah....one is tucked away and will show her face in Dec.....
Juda trying to just how far should he get in with his clothes on.
Tomo says "Go for it
Juda, the water is GREAT!"

We are the proud parents of this crew and we love it.
Ol' Tommy Smith still makes me laugh. He is a funny man and his boys take after him. What a party when we all gather.


Ashley and Caleb wondering and waiting on the Air Force and what their future holds.

Ben and Alisha the day before Ben asked her to marry him. She said YES oh by the way as we are 3 weeks away from the wedding as I post.

All the SMITH Boys. They are all so very handsome and fun.

Andy, Jillian and Baby Girl Smith....At the time no one knew about Baby Girl Smith.

All the SMITH Girls and some SMITH Girls in waiting.

YEP! There is the awaiting GRANDPARENTS of Baby Girl Smith...still wondering what we'll be called....Will it be "Sarah and Abraham", "
OBA san and
OJI san", "
Lolli and Pop", "Pa and Ma", "Granny and Granny Pants" or "
MawMaw and
PawPaw". These are a few that we have heard of....Not sure what Baby Girl Smith will call us. We just want her to call us.......

Our Sweet Bessy Girl.....she is loving that the Smith girl population is rising....me too! Go Girl Power!

The Proud Parents to be....

We have
soooooo much to "Jump for Joy" about around here and among our family. We are truly ever so blessed.
