smoking the hive!
Charlie was a brave one! He let the bees crawl all over him and they never stung him!
the little creatures
A mishapped comb
I'd hate for them to angry;)
Well, Charlie and Kate are home for the weekend!! They've been in Bremen working for our Cousin.
Madisens was first! He turned 6!! 
Yuchi's was next and he turned 7!
And then last (but not least) Arman turned 12!!
Since Madisen's and Yuchi's B-days were so close we celebrated theirs together! And we started a new Smithy tradition too!! Instead of cakes on b-days we'll have Pinatas!! How neat is that?! Well, I thought it was neat, at least it's different! The kiddo's had never seen one before and didn't know what to do with it! LOL! They were in for a happy surprise!
Madi with our horsey pinata which she called 'Goofy' but the rest of us officially dubbed 'Lightning' ;)
"I get to hit it?!!"
Spin him round an round!
Bretski takin a turn! 
Gavido was so cute! He had his tongue stuck out the whole time he was trying to hit it!
Madek's with his trophy
It's almost down!
Isn't this cool?! Daddy gave the final blow from sitting down!
What's left of lightning ;) 
The mad dash for candy
Little Pinata hams 
And here's all the boys with their b-day presants from Nanny and Grandpa Charles!!
Happy Birthday boys!!

On Feb. 1st we celebrated our dear Nana's 70th birthday. 50's fashion and games were the theme of the party so we donned our white bobby socks, red lipstick and scarfs and Mother had some cat-eye glasses she had borrowed.
