Island Park [2011]

We had a family get away last weekend, we had so much fun. Thanks to Daddy Tim and Mommy Cari! We had great food, great laughs, great company. Island park had so much snow we were all hoping to get snowed in for at least one more day so we didn't have to go back to reality. We had so much fun words cant explain so here is a whole bunch of pictures to show.

Aunt Nat and Uncle Curt brought some way cool play dough that we had a great time with.

We all played and played in the snow. The weather was perfect not to cold the kids had a blast. Saige was not scared one bit, even after she faced planted it down the hill, she still wanted more. She would go down and say "WEE" it was so cute!

Here is Benjamin being Ben, he is so fun to watch he gets just as excited as the kids and has just as much fun as them.

Miss Ruby even came out for a bit to play.

See what i am talking about here is Ben again.

Curt looking like a super model.

pretty darn {cute} kids I must say!

We played in the Hot tub. Harman lived in the in there. If his eyes were open he was figuring out how to get in there and who to bribe to go with him.






We played a lot ofJjust Dance on the Wii even the boys got into it.

The girls had a toe party even Ruby got to join in. We all had pretty sparkly toes!




We had so much fun. Nothing is better then having family close around. We played games and laughed so hard. ATE and ATE who can ask for a better vacation..... Joke of the weekend "Did you hear Willie Nelson died..... Cant tell you the rest of it just because its the only joke i have.

Found out we were going to have a little boy!

We bought 11 head of Cows but have no pictures of them.

2010 came and went with a blink of an eye... lets hope 2011 goes by a bit slower! I will have two kiddos running around and i want to be able to enjoy every second with them.

My goals this year:

{is to slow down my creative mind a bit and pay more attention to the things that matter. }

{Take the time to love on my baby girl play with her and teach her new things.}

{ when my baby boy comes take every moment of his little body especially his hands and feet and love on him before he can run away from me!}

{Take the time to make sure my husband knows i love him and adore him to pieces and appreciate everything he does for me and my family!}

{ make sure everyone in my family and in-laws know i love them and to do my best at spending time with them and getting to know each of them better.}

{ My Niece she is already growing so big i will brave the trip alone and go and love her to make sure i am still her favorite aunt!}

{And my nephews o how i love them ill need to hang out with them to know how to deal with boys and get some pointers. }

So pretty much just love life be a better person inside out!

My sweet little girl keeps growing and growing I cant seem to stop her. its breaking my heart in two. she can pretty much talk in full sentences which cracks me up the things she says here are some of the best things she has said lately.... (she still has troubles with pronouncing)

had a container of corona.... (not the alcohol its like bag balm) Told Aunt Kenzie "Put it on your butt!

calls Aunt Kenzie.... NAUNIE....

Calls her Elbow "Belbo"

te te te.... is tickle tickle

"i need help"

"1,2,3"

The rest is jibberish still but she is getting better!

Tank you

Things she loves:

Grandpa and Grandma Smith & Eames has them both wrapped around her finger

"nacks" Fruit snacks

Ellie and Iviee and Baby rigs

her dog Lilly

giving hugs!

Baby doll

finger nails and toes painted

She is getting so big i cant stand it she is so much fun she has the most loving caring heart there is out there. If she hears a baby crying she gets so worried and thinks she needs to comfort them. I love her curly crazy hair, especially in the mornings its the best thing to wake up to a smile and that crazy hair all over the place! She is all girl but not afraid to get dirty swing a bat and wrestle with the boys. She is the best helper loves to help me sweep do dishes put the pillows on the beds. she knows all the body parts and animals and animal sounds! And the color yellow purple blue. I {LOVE} this girl so much and could not picture life with out her. She makes every day and every sleepless night worth while!

Christmas

Christmas eve opening pajamas

All three in there new pajamas!

This doesn't happen all the time! But we enjoy when they get along!

baby doll grandma got Saige girl.

Where did Christmas go?.... weeks and weeks to get ready and get all my shopping done and it seemed like it was over way to fast. It was so much fun this year Saige loved opening presents and got very excited for what was in the presents. She defiantly was spoiled by grandmas and grandpas! Mom and Dad were pretty lame this year we were going to get her a kitchen but i couldn't find one that i wanted to spend the money on. So Santa brought her a t-Ball stand bat and balls, and cleaning stuff to help mom, in all reality her favorite things to do. Grandma Smith took one of my old cradles growing up that my dad made me for Christmas and painted it and made all new stuff for her and her new baby! My mom is so talented and thoughtful i of course cried what a great memory i get to pass down to my sweet little girl. Saige loves babies this baby cries drinks her bottle and laughs every time it cries so runs to it puts the bottle in it and puts it back to sleep, training her for her baby brother. I am going to have so much help. We had a grat Chrismtas thanks everyone!
