Egg Making

This past week was spring break in Indy. We did not have anything to do, no family in town.... :( We made our own fun anyhow. We decorated a centerpiece for our table. It is a paper mache balloon. Let me tell you, way more work than I expected. Layer after layer! GOOD TIMES!

Finally, the colors are going to go on!

Rylan and the finished project. She is the only one that stayed with me for the whole project. Way to go Ry!

Lost Camera

Well, I wanted to post tonight, but the bummer of it all is that I have lost my camera somewhere. If anyone has seen it let me know! Sidenote: I am so sore! I realized today that I am not a youngin' anymore. SAD!!! I ran an obstacle course with some of my buddies this weekend, man was it fun. You have to take a running start and launch your body through a tube and then crawl through the course and whoever is quickest wins. I gave it all I got, and today I can tell. Maybe my friend Heidi can send me a pic of myself to post. It was a wonderful weekend and today my family and I spent time together. good times. HAPPY SPRING BREAK!

Wednesday Morning

This is what I found this morning when I woke up....

a crib full of toys and my two sweet precious girls. Thank you Lord for such blessings.

St. Patty's Day

We celebrated the day of green with a Leprechaun hunt. Logan and Rylan dressed all cutesy in green and went off to school. Logan made a leprechaun trap for school, and Ry had a little party. We hung out with friends after school, and then some came home with us....We had a hunt that our special gold hunting friends left us. At the end of the hunt was a very special and delicious treat! Good times.

The Super Smiths!

This past Friday we had a fun arts and crafts day. I let the kids paint these ceramic animals that they had gotten for Christmas. They loved it. Madi ate the paintbrush, and the others painted beautiful masterpieces. I love being a mommy!

Our Future Wii Player

Our sweet Madison love wii! She fights for the controller! It is too sweet. Madison is now a whopping 16 months old. She is following directions really well. Thank goodness...I need someone to listen to me. :) She is a joy and I am so proud to call her my daughter.
