"Chillin' with the Dog." That's right, boys and girls, yours truly caught up with the Bounty Hunter and discussed how to make this world a safer place. Busty Beth was nowhere to be seen, though Leland wasn't too far behind.

After another bout of K vs. J in our annual "Smith mini-golf challenge," we see who came out the victor....proving once again who is the best putter in our family.

We just got back from Tampa -- and you can't hit Tampa w/o making a stop at Busch Gardens. The park definitely lived up to the hype -- killer coasters, rides, and gators. Kristie was a good sport after getting doused on her river excursion!

Mommy and baby enjoyed looking at the sea turtles on Turtle Beach.

Here's lookin' at you.

As new parents, we're just discovering how easy it is to spend every minute interacting with a baby.

Kai Lincoln Smith; four months.

Precious little hands

This shot should be on the back of an "In-n-Out" t-shirt. First time for everything! (Still got the forehead sunburn to prove it.)

St. George, UT was the site of the second official Smith Guys Weekend...and it was killer. Two days of great golf, good eats, warm weather, and prime company. We hit a record-best seven under par in a charity golf tournament thanks to puts like this from Old Man Winter, long drives from Mr. Retired Chem-Dry Charley himself, and Land-Rovin' chips from a Rascal impersonator. See ya next year.

After a few unhappy days with his first cold, Kai is starting to get back to his old happy self.

Gotta love this one. Don't you just want to kiss that little pouty (sp?) lip?! Our poor little guy has had a wee cold/cough for a few days.

Kristie and Kai took an extra 2 week vacation to get more time with family and friends. Poor Justin was left all alone in Hawaii to catch up on golf, hit the beach, and play hoops until his heart was content.

Kristie had a ball, galavanting around Salt Lake. She was able to visit former co-workers and took a chance at the "Crazy Buffet" (wouldn't recommend that one). It was fun to spend time catching up and introduce Kai to everyone.

A monkey's uncle...

Hey Grandma, what are you doing way in the back?? Just kidding. Great grandparents!

Papa and Mamuse (dad and mom Blake) loved holding the little peanut.

Kai loves his baths. He's even waving to the camera.

Kim and Brinley got their chances to hold Kai. As you can see, timing is everything!

Kai wanted us to tell you all that he had so much fun on his visit and can't wait to come back soon. Aloha!

We made a stop in Pocatello to introduce Kai to his great-grandma and grandpa Thomas. There were smiles all around, as you can see.
