This last picture made Robert and I laugh soo hard. Addie asked for a Kleenex and I gave her one, not realizing that she was trying to get cotton candy off of her hands... What a mess!

2009-07-24T11:58:00.000-07:00

Alex in all his glory

2009-07-23T11:51:00.000-07:00

Addie's swimming lessons

2009-05-10T15:16:00.000-07:00

Addie is taking swimming less pretty much all summer. These are more of the survival swimming lesson, in case Addie fell into a pool she would have some chance on making it to the side and pulling herself out. It took her about 4 days to get into the swing of it and now she loves it. These pictures are from the first day of class. She is NOT happy!!

Here is Addie fast asleep infront of closet door after swimming lessons.

Addie's 2nd Birthday Party

2009-04-18T14:29:00.000-07:00

We kind of use Addie's birthday as our once a year party and invite a ton of people. So here is just a few pictures from her party. She had a great time, she fell asleepfor about an hour 1/2 thru and then woke up and partied for an few hours...

Ring around the Rosey. This was from the day we were at the Joe's Farm Grill. Falling down looks to be Addie's favorite part, especially when you can land on Peyton.

snaps from this morning

2009-04-01T07:31:00.000-07:00

Here is Cole sleeping on his tummy... Which drove me nuts, until I felt he could get back over if he needed too. He has been sleeping much better, except for the few nights he was cutting his first TOOTH!!!! That's right his first tooth... UGH he is growing up WAY TOO fast :(

Cole Rolling over

2009-03-26T16:20:00.000-07:00

Now he sleeps on hid belly which wigs me out a bit.. But he knows how to roll back over, so its fine :)

Exersaucer

2009-03-26T07:21:00.000-07:00

I can't beleive Cole is alredy playing with the exersaucer. Addie was playing in this at about the same time. It will get really fun when he can reach all of the items.

Being beautiful is SOOO hard

2009-03-24T06:59:00.000-07:00

I bought some Velcro rollers and Addie thought they were very fun to play with, she even let me put some in her hair...

Joe's Farm Grill

2009-03-17T07:27:00.000-07:00

We went to Joe's Farm Grill with Pam and Jill and her kiddos. It was an awesome AZ spring day. The best part is that I paid Peyton (Jill's oldest daughter) to watch Addie. So I got to have a nice chat with some of my best girl pals.

Yo Gabba Gabba Dance a Thon

2009-02-09T06:17:00.000-08:00

We went to our friends Jen and Johh's house for dinner last weekend. And Joey their son and Addie had a blast dancing to this crazy show on Noggin, called Yo Gabba Gabba. Notice Addie looking at her reflection in the sliding glass door. Too funny :) We had a really good time.

Soccer

2009-02-09T06:01:00.000-08:00

Here is a video of Addie and Robert running at soccer. They were playing Fox and Hound. Cole wanted held at the beginning of soccer, so I didn't get her kicking the ball around too much. She really enjoyed it. I think Robert got just as good as a workout as Addie.

Addie fell asleep at the dinner table a few nights ago. She was in between bits and Robert and I looked over ands she was out like a light!

Cycle riding

2009-01-22T13:05:00.000-08:00

Addie calls her bike "Cycle", so she knows she has to have her helmut on before she can get on it... So her she is riding her cycle.

Chopsticks...

2009-01-22T12:16:00.000-08:00

Addie came up with calling my Mom Memaw?? Not sure why, but it works. Here are the kiddos with my Mom and Dad, when they were leaving to go to Tucson. Addie is indeed trying to escape from my Dad. But Cole's look is like what are you doing Big Sister, being held is nice :)

We look forward to seeing Robert's family at Christmas and introducing Cole to them.

Ohh no Santa

2008-12-07T11:40:00.000-08:00

Last year, Addie was none to happy to meet the man in the red suit. So I thought that MAYBE if she go to hang out with him a bit long that just a picture it would work out better. Well, it didn't!! We went to breakfast with Santa, on Saturday morning. And got the same great photo as last year. She really likes Santa from afar. She blow him kisses and waved before it was her turn to sit on his lap.

Addie's Christmas Tree

2008-11-28T17:48:00.000-08:00

When my brother and I were kids our Grandma bought us a little Christmas tree. We decorated it however we wanted and we allowed to move the ornaments around. My Mom says that my brother and I used to fight over whether Snoppy or the Angel went on top. And we would change it everytime we walked by. So my Mom bought Addie her very own Christmas tree. She has Sesame Street ornaments and everything. She had been really good wiht it and hasn't knocked it down once.. Yet :)

Cole Robert Smith FINALLY arrives!!!

2008-11-20T18:57:00.000-08:00

Here are some pictures from the BIG day! After almost 40 hours of on and off again labor, Cole finally arrived at 9:15 on Tuesday the 18th of November. He weighted 8 lbs 12 oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. As many of you know he was born at home. We labored in the tub for hours and got out of the tub for the delivery. Cole did great during the labor and no problems with the ever changing positions. He are some pictures:

Baby Update

2008-11-15T12:44:00.000-08:00

Well, there really isn't one... I go to the midwife/Nathropath on Monday for my almost 40 week visit. I'm feeling fine and have no complaints. I know this is the last time I will be pregnant, so I'm just enjoying feeling him move. I also know that these last few weeks/days are really the calm before the storm.. So I'm trying to relax and enjoy them.

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and the good thoughts. We will keep you posted on when he arrives.

Dora sheets video

2008-11-02T11:58:00.000-08:00

Commercialism has set in...

2008-11-02T11:53:00.001-08:00

Here is Addie with her Dora sheets. We happened to be at Ross yesterday and saw these sheets, they were only $9.99 for the set. Addie was so excited when I put them on her bed this morning....I guess Dora is better than Barney??

Oh yeah and don't mind her Christmas PJ, those were the only ones that were clean :)

Halloween

2008-10-31T21:25:00.000-07:00

Our next door neighbors have this great decoration. And every night since they put it up, we walk over and have to say goodnight to the ghosts. After dinner, Addie says, "ghosts". She finds her shoes and will bring them to Robert or I and off we go for a walk up our street to see the ghosts and kiss them goodnight. We're not sure how to break it to her, that tonight was the last night of her ghosts...

First Trick or Treat: We practiced for the last few days saying Trick or Treat or Boo. She said it at the 3 houses we went to... Here she is at her very first house ever. The boys in front of her, are our next door neighbors, Ashton and Nicholas.

Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-26T17:08:00.000-07:00

We went to the patch today. Addie had an alright time, it was really hot (in the 90's). But she really like eating the hot dog all by herself :)

Big Sister Class

2008-10-26T17:05:00.000-07:00

I had the great idea that we should take Addie to a class about being a big sister. She was really too young for the class, but she loved wearing a balloon under her shirt.

Cheez-Its.... Yummy

2008-10-26T17:02:00.000-07:00

I heard her doing something and then couldn't find her. Well her is what she was doing... Eating a whole box of Cheez-its in the corner of the office. I'll have to start checking under her bed for cupcakes.

If looks could ...

2008-10-26T16:59:00.000-07:00

I'm not sure what she is thinking, but I have a feeling its not good..

Tutu

2008-10-15T19:22:00.001-07:00

So after many attempts of getting Addie to like her Halloween costume, I decided to return it. She hated it and never got it on more than a few minutes. So I decided to make her a tutu that she can wear with a regular tshirt. I also bought her a little pink wand to wave around. I made the tutu today and she already had it on twice with no issue. Here are some pics of it.

PS: Don't mind her hand down my shirt :) You'd think after not nursing for 8 months she would just let them be...

Farm Hand

2008-10-11T12:53:00.000-07:00

Poor Robert had to chase her around the barnyard. She wanted to brush all the goats. She's wasn't afraid of them at all. Our little brave farmer girl!

Finally

2008-10-11T12:36:00.000-07:00

It has finally cooled off her in AZ. I'm sure if it's a sure thing or not, but we took full advantage this morning. We got uyp early and went to the zoo. Here are some pictures from this morning!

Double Stroller Mom

2008-10-09T12:01:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of our new stroller. Addie and I took it for a spin this morning, and it's so nice. Steph, thanks again for demo-ing it for us :)
