My Friday Night!!!

Well with the end of kindergarten comes the beginning of sleepovers!!! Popcorn on the floor...pillow fights....and yes the costumes must remain on for the evening!! There will be fighting and wrestling! They have already made the goal of staying up until 12AM! Poor Connor at 3yrs. not a chance of making it! Wonder how bad Carson will be dragging at his Tball game at 11:30Am???

Party on boys...It's 10:30 Pm and they are enjoying Peter Pan and Captain Hook!!

Great Great Grandma hangs with the best!!!

My Great Grandma Smith and my Grandmother came over to play with their Great Grandchildren! Grandma Mary showed us how to make a beautiful display with a pineapple and then we ate it up!!

The kids are such helpers!! Yes that is Carson on the table!!!

She decided that the trampoline would be fun and got on with my boys!!

The kids enjoyed the visit!!!

Smith girls have attitude!!

EASTER 2009!!

Mama and Papaw made and early Easter dinner for us and then a fun egg hunt outside and gift bags of CANDY after!

This is why we don't take many family photos! There is always someone who is unhappy! Connor's turn I guess! I'M NEXT!!

I put one picture in here from Florida because it looked like Easter to me!

Easter lunch at the Clink's for the Hauk celebration!

OUR HOLIDAYS=CAR RIDES!

WE LOVE OUR FAMILY!

Connor woke up with an ear infection this year but he still managed to find his basket and eat the candy!

Carson found his basket in the basement this year...he had a lot of string to gather and it took him about 15 min.

All of the cousins ready to hunt eggs! Well almost all of them Tina is about 7 months...she is expecting a little girl to give my mom and dad their 6Th grandchild!! We hope everyone had a great Easter! If you want to see the pictures from my vacation to Naples Florida then go to my face book...I am under the name Apple Jacks and yes I will be your friend!

Christmas Day!!

No...not all these gifts were for the kids but we are thankful for being able to buy the love of our friends and family this year. Not everyone can do that in these tough times. OK that was bad...LOL!!

Groggy but Excited and ready to tear things open!!

Love this picture!! Hope next year is this much fun!

Connor got this plane on Christmas from his cousins and has not put it down yet!!

I never thought he would get so excited over a responsibility chart!! He loves earning his star magnets everyday!

Carson now refuses to use any blanket but his new sleeping bag from Santa!! Wants to go camping on the ground outside...people still do that??? Carson also got a remote control flying helicopter this year and went nuts when he opened it!! He said "THIS IS THE BEST DAMN TOY EVER!!" and then quickly apologised! We all tried to hide our laughter!

Connor loved every gift this year saying "JUST WHAT I WANTED!!"

I was worried that he would get out on the hill with this new snowboard and fall and give up...but little did I know the kid has SKILLS. He has some great balance! yeah!

Candy and swards in stockings FUN COMBO!! Hope you enjoyed the Christmas hustle with the Smith's!! Do you all have a ton of holiday pictures that need to be put into a book...go to shutterfly.com sign up or sign in and create an 8x8 photo book (20 pages only) and then enter in code CK47-9FHU-ZNG2-OR777N at checkout and the book should be free (a $30 value) all you pay is the shipping I think $4!! This is a good deal I found today on one of my freebie sites!! I have done one of these free books in the past and loved the way it turned out!!! Some conditions apply like no special character books and it expires on Feb 28Th...have fun!

Christmas Eve with The Smith's at Mamaw and Papaw's

Did not mean to start with this picture but as you can see things are laid back at their house on Christmas Eve. The leg is Nicole's and Connor was enjoying her nylons!!

ahhh the beginning of the presents!! Connor collected all the bows this year and stuck them to people!

I like the group shots with their quirks (Connor's shirt pulled up exposing belly etc...) I have been meaning to do more of the group shots during the holidays!!

Run Run fast as you can...

well I figured out how to enable a feature to let me upload pictures onto my blog so if anyone wants so see here goes christmas!! Gingerbread men were popular this year with connor!

Hope u made some cookies!
