i am really bad at blogging, and mostly it comes from knowing i should do it...but, i wait, and wait...and then, there is just too much to talk about. charlie comes home FOR GOOD in about a week and a half. he will motivate me. basically, i have learned in our marriage..i am so much better at getting things done when he is around. loneliness brings laziness in me.
so after smith's first birthday came a trip to temple (for an interview) and then on to dallas where we were able to see two of my best friends and their children. we were very bad and did not take many pictures, but it was one short night and LOTS of kids. this LOTS is going to turn into more, i realize, but we will be more used to it as more children come our way.
this is smith checking out the new addition, laura and matt's matthew
kelly's hubby, jarrett with their sweet one, aaron
charlie and matt chilling (kinda)
sadly, no pictures of the actual reason we were all hanging out (us three girls), but we had a great time and ate some yummy tacos in between child craziness.
charlie left soon after that trip to go back to virginia for more hospital rotations. we celebrated a small Christmas with my family (minus charlie, shelby, and bo). smith is still not yet at the age of 'getting' Christmas...or even presents for that matter, but we had fun.
uncle shad helping smith with the toy that he (and aunt shaynna) bought him AND put together for him. smith loves it now even more..it is his first 'starter' bike with many more to come if his daddy has anything to do with it.
i made grace and george lapdesks...with this tutorial (modified a bit)
and i made them something to hold their colors from this tutorial. both were fairly easy and i loved the results...i just wish i had better pictures to share with you.
this was our year to be with charlie's family at Christmas...so smith and i flew from home and met with charlie (who flew from virginia) for a good time with his family. we had lots of yummy food and good time seeing everyone!

smith licking the ice cream off his fingers that papa is already spoiling him with. it won't take much to get this boy hooked...he comes from a long line of MAJOR ice cream lovers!

playing with cousin london in her BIG play room
holding onto one of his favorite toys..."ball"...this is also among the short list of words that smith says very clearly.
