09' Halloween

Here's a glimpse at our families 09' Halloween.

Jackson as Spiderman.



Avery as a China Doll.



Harrison as a cuddly Bear.



Halloween day ended up being really yucky weather wise. We made the best of what we had though.
We had my lovely friend Tiara and her son Brayden (Harrison's Pal) meet us at our house to take some pictures. Since the boys were wild animals, Tiara and I decided to be safari guides. I feel like you are never to old to dress up for Halloween.
After our mini-shoot. We headed to our spot of tradition, Marsha and Steve's Home (Ashley parents) to meet up with a ton more kids, friends, and family. By the time we were ready to Trick- or- Treat there was a big pour down. When it let up slightly Brandon and I along with a few other parents and older kids decided to head out. We ended up leaving the babies along with Avery and Harrison at the house with Grammy and Pa since it was to yucky, they still made out with the candy though.

I also have Avery's pictures of Monday night when she dressed up as a pink mouse for a pre-Halloween event. Hope you enjoy these cutie's pictures.

Counting Down..

We're on the count down. The kids (mainly Jackson and Avery) are ready for Halloween. They had a blast Monday night at a local event our town had for the kids. We met up with Avery's friend Savannah and her family for a crazy chaotic event with a million kids present in about a 1300 square ft room. What can I say after a broken back and sore feet from random kids stepping on them, my kids were satisfied to say the least. If their happy, I'm happy, not to mention exhausted.

Can you guess which super-hero Jackson is going to be?

Avery's costume clue: I have a porcelain complexion but am as cute as a doll, I'm from a foreign land, use a weird fork in hand, Who am I?

Harrison's costume can be described as brown, round, and cuddly, Who is he?

Pumpkin Patch

I took the children to our local pumpkin patch just to take a few pics. We decided to pick one up from a friends batch of Pumpkins instead. So the kids and I stayed for about 30 mins to get these few shots.

Jackson's Action at the Patch.

Such a strong little guy to pick up a 20 lb Pumpkin. Close to it. It was as heavy as Harrison.

Avery

was caught by a lucky shot. One of my favorites.

Harrison

was only a few days old when he visited the patch last year. He enjoyed it alot more this time around.

Here is their group shot.

Harrison's One

Out of the three children, Harrison's First year has sped by the fastest. With that said, October 17th circled back around last weekend too quickly. We packed the little Smith's up and headed out to Grammy and Pa's for some cake and ice cream and a picture montage in celebration of a year of giggles, wiggles, and piggles. Harrison had a lovely time with is family and good buddy Brayden. Grandma and Kate were so sweet in making the trip to help us celebrate. For the one's who couldn't make it, you were in our thoughts.

Aunt Becca did such an awesome job with Harrison's giant cupcake cake. It was so yum! For more pictures follow this link. You might have to copy and paste to address bar,sorry.

Harrison Update.

Somebody is about to turn ONE! Can you believe it? Because we can't. Our little Harrison seems to get cuter and cuter each day. Of course I would think so since I am his Mom. He has such a sweet personality to cheer up any gloomy day. I am so anxious to release his most handsome birthday pictures. Harrison also has a video to come out too in dedication of his first year. I will post links as it gets closer to his special day. Piggle aka Harrison loves to play more than Avery does with Avery's pink kitchen she got for her birthday. We think he might be a chef. Hey, what lady doesn't love a man that can cook, right? We are so often stopped so people can look at his fratboy ensemble. Even though he has to wear his brothers hand-me-downs, his fro and baby polos are all the time getting him attention which he loves. He's so much fun.

Avery Update.

Our little girl has become such a little chatterbox. Avery and I have started working on a regular basis with flashcards among other learning curriculum. Her favorite word/thing is a "Sea Star" aka "star fish". Anytime she sees the shape she is quick to say " Sea Star". Its precious. It is so nice to have a little more time to spend with her one on one. She is such a fun little person. She has become very vocal. She loves to sing. We have started listening and dancing to music. We have been having a ball together. We are amazed on how much she has grown.Time please STOP.
