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!

Snowboarding, Sledding, and Sleepover!!

Cameron came over this past weekend. He is going to be in Boston with his dad this year for Christmas (we will miss him)!!

Connor went sledding for the first time this year...He hated the snow last year because he could not walk in it with out falling!! HE LOVED SLEDDING!! Craig would give him a huge push and send him flying down the hill!! He even hit a jump on the last run and went in the air...I thought tears...but...he said "mom did you see me THAT WAS SO AWESOME!!"

Cameron is not only my height now at almost 10 but he is also my boot size. My snow board was put to good use on the hill in our local park!! Cameron did well!!

Good Packing Snow!

I can't help but post every adorable picture I get of him. My camera did not make it to Thanksgiving but we had a great day. We spent the whole weekend outside hanging lights, building snowmen, and snow forts!

The snow packed so well we built a snow fort and ...

A family of snowmen!!

We also hung up Christmas lights, put up the tree, and had a snow fight!! Hope you had a wonderful holiday and may you finish all your shopping early and with ease!!

The minute the snow started sticking the boys suited up and raced outside! Connor began licking all the snow he could...Hope he steers clear of the metal poles on the trampoline!!

When my three year old slows down I can capture on camera what I see everyday. His sweet face, long lashes, and good nature!!

Carson came flying at me with his snow covered gloves!! Our family had a great snow fight on Sunday...the kids are still talking about it!!
