Sk-8-ter Boy.

Here is our skater boy in action.

Our little dude had his first board lesson today and he now thinks its the coolest thing ever. The funny part is that he really has never seen anybody skate. He became interested this Summer when Grandma let him pick out a Christmas ornament of a random skateboard and helmet . Gotta love Hobby Lobby. Anywho.

He did really well. I don't know how he stays on the thing to be quite honest with you. He had a few wipe outs as I expected. But his teacher told me he did pretty good for a beginner. Teacher dude said most kids aren't able to do what he did until their 8 or 9. Pro's start off excelling at about 4 or 5. Who knows this might be one of our little mans gifts. A pro sk-8-ter dude. We'll see. Here's the link to the pics.http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=c90c1802604314d86cbbd47cbb382743&sid=0Cbt2bFuzZsmGH

Dancing Queen.

Last Saturday our little darling started her very first ballet lesson. I wish I could put the adorable slide show up that I made of her first day but for some reason it won't post.

So this will have to do.http://share.shutterfly.com/share/received/welcome.sfly?fid=372dd9e58acf80133315f89dbf2f35f7&sid=0Cbt2bFuzZsmFp

Ms. Cassidy reported that her first 20 minutes of class, we're used to pout because Mommy wasn't allow to stay in the studio to watch her. I will have to say it was so darn hard not to open the door to take a peak. All the parents were so anxious to see their little princesses. After those 20 minutes of pouting passed, Avery jumped up and started to dance. Supposedly she followed directions very well and ended up having a great time. We just finished our second lesson today. It went so much better. This time she had no problems with the separation.

Maybe she will be a dancing queen after all.

Don't miss out on this video. This footage was taken

after class.

Happy

Happy New Year to You! For us, 2009 was a great year to end this past decade. From Harrison and I debuting on the cover of Preganacy and Newborn Magazine in January, to our March 1st Snowday. Our Summer Beach trip in July to St. Simons. August took Jackson to school and the latter part of the year we were busy celebrating birthdays. Here are a few shots we took last night as we brought in 2010 with Tyler and Ashley and a few friends. I thought a photobooth would be a lot of fun to have at our party. The kids loved it as well as the big kids too. Harrison ended up going to sleep by a quarter to 9pm. He couldn't hang so he missed out on our photobooth session. Poor Baby. Jackson stayed up until we departed and fell asleep on the ride home. Miss Avery did pretty good. She got to see the ball drop and about 10 minutes later passed out. Well we hope that 2010 brings blessings amongst you all. Take care and God Bless!

Love,

Us Smiths
