Summer Time Fun

Just wanted to share some pictures of the girls at the pool. The weather has been in the 90's here so we were at the pool almost everyday this week. I hope that everybody is well and we can not wait to see everybody the end of this month.

It has been a busy month for the Smith Family. Sydney had her preschool graduation. We are so proud of her and she was so excited. She is excited for kindergarten to start in the fall and then first grade, second grade and third grade. We had to tell her to slow down just a little. She also had her last T-ball game tonight. However it was rained out and they will not be making it up. Instead the whole team and there family went and had pizza and she got a trophy. So now that school is done and T-ball we get to enjoy the summer. The pool is opened here and we are looking forward to that.

Brooke is growing up too fast. She loves giving kiss and blowing kiss. She is also making her babies crying and then giving them kisses which I'm still trying to get on film but every time I try she won't do it again. It is too cute. She also has a thing for shoes. We have to put all shoes away because she likes to put them on and walk around the house in them. It does not matter if they are Sydney, Shawn or mine she will put them on.

I hope that everybody is doing well and we will see you all soon.

Mother's Day May 2009

The girls are doing great. Sydney had a Mother's Day Tea Party at school. It was really nice. We had strawberry shortcake and ice tea to drink. At school they made pictures of what they would buy mom if they have a Million Dollars and Sydney said that she would buy me sun hats. Not sure why because I have never wore a sun hat so now I have to go buy one for this summer at the pool. I will take a picture of me in my sun hat when I get one to show everybody. For mother's day she made me a basket fill of kisses and a card that said "This is a very special basket that's just for you from me. It's filled with hugs and kisses so you'll always think of me."

T-ball is almost done. She only as three more games. She had a game on Monday and she did great. She hit the ball without the T and then got somebody out on second. She likes playing a lot.

School is almost done with too. She is done next Friday. She will have a graduation on Friday at 7:00pm. She was telling Shawn and I last weekend that she can not wait to be done because she will be going to Odell (her new school) for kindergarten, then first grade, second, third and that is when I told her to slow down just a little. I just hope that she is still this excited come the fall because the first half of this year was not good. She also just had her first sleep over at her best friend Emily's house. I thought for sure I would get a phone call in the middle of the night but no call and when I called in the morning and told her that I was going to come and get her she told me no not yet I still want to play. I'm glad that she had such a good time. She is growing up way to fast.

Brooke is growing up way to fast too. She is still getting into everything that she is not suppose to be in. She is our devil girl for sure.

That is about all that is going on here. I will update again soon.

Girls

Everybody is doing great here. The weather has been really warm here. We are counting down the days until Sydney is on summer vacation she can not wait because the pool will be open here. Sydney is doing great with T-ball. She hit the ball on Saturday without the T and stop the ball twice in the outfield.

Brooke is all over the place here and got another tooth. Here are a couple of pictures and two video's.

Sydney had a bird feeder in school and we hung
it in our tree for the birds.

dinner.

Easter, 2009

Hi Everybody,

I hope that everybody had a great Easter. We had a really nice Easter here. Shawn's dad and mom Smith came down for Easter it was a really nice weekend. The weather was beautiful here to for them. The girls loved what they got from the Easter Bunny. Sydney is on Easter break from school and it is nice that we don't have to get up early. That is all that is going on from North Carolina. Just wanted to send some new pictures to everybody. I hope that everybody is well and talk to you all soon.

Hi Everybody,

We have had a busy weekend. The weather was so nice here. Sydney had her first T-ball game and did great. Her team name is the Yankee's and her number is 5. She hit the ball twice and did really good until she fell and then she was done. But she got up there the second time and did great. She has her second game tonight. She is finally riding her BIG Bike that Papa and Mimi Krause got her for x-mas 2007. She rides it great now. She had bring your daddy to school for breaksfast and she was so excited that he came to school with her. She did an Easter Egg hunt here and saw the Easter Bunny. We also went this morning and signed her up for kindergarten. We are looking forward to Spring Break and then when she goes back to school she will only have a month and half left of school and will be out for summer vacation. She is looking forward to the pool opening to go swimming.

Brooke did not like the Easter Bunny at all. She is all over the place and getting into everything. She likes going on walks to ride in her car. She is walking all over and now has eight teeth.

Shawn and I are doing good and just busy with the girls and work. Miss you all and hope you all like the pictures below.

Trying Out

I wanted a way of keeping everybody updated on everything that is going on here with us in North Carolina. I can never remember what I have told everybody about the girls and what I have not and I have not been really good with sending out pictures either. My friend Jennifer does this and I thought maybe I would try it and see how everybody likes this.

Sydney decided she wants to try T-ball so we signed her up for it and she was suppose to start this weekend but we had rain all weekend long. Once she does start I will let everybody know and post pictures here for everybody to see. She is all most done with school. She will have a graduation on May 22 at school. She is getting a cap and gown. She is so excited. I have to sign her up for kindergarten the beginning of April. I can not believe that she is going to kindergarten.

Brooke just turned 1 and she is getting into more stuff now. She is my little devil that is for sure. She is walking all over the place. I took her to the doctor and she weighs 26lbs and is 31 inches tall.

Shawn is busy with work they are talking about him going to Montreal for a week for work. I'm just busy with talking Sydney to school and going to work at night.We are happy down here and we like it a lot. Waiting for the warm weather so the pool will open at the club house. We love everybody and miss you all.
