Holiday Programs...

Morgan and Madison were soooo cute, they were not a bit shy and sang and danced how cool it was to watch. I should have had a digital video camcorder (hint.. Santa) They made me Very Proud.
Parker did a wonderful job, and she was so pretty in her Christmas colors. I am very proud of all my girls. They are beautiful and outgoing. and Fun! Parker's was a little less personal because they were squishing 6 grades in to have a turn, but still a great job.


BIG BIG CHRISTMAS!!!

Justin better not shoot his eye out!! He got this pretty, New 22., a guitar, clothes and cologne.. what a spoiled..
I got a purse, a new coat , clothes and an MP3 player, perfume. Yummy ,Yummy perfumes.

The girls got Skates, and Parker got Heely's and everything else they wanted.
Me and Justin thought we would take it easy on them this year and be practical but no-one else read that memo.


They also kept getting gifts days after. Grandma Linda and Grandpa Jim had sent Build a Bear gift cards. I think those are wonderful gifts. The girls loved it almost as much as I did. Way, Way Cute. To pick your animal, assist in stuffing and pick outfits, shoes. OMG! below are the three new members of our family. Madison picked Poodle Smith, Morgan chose Blue bear Smith and Parker picked Puppy Smith. My kids surely have different taste than me...




Grandpa and Grandma Smith got in from Missouri on the 29th and showed up to take the girls to pick out new Bikes.. Parker's is BRIGHT a** Pink! and Mad, and Moe both picked Dora but with different colored Tassels.

What a great Christmas I really hated that Justin worked through it again he only has one more to work through and then he gets to spend a few years with us, for the holiday again.Aside from that I loved Christmas we all were very pleased with our holiday. I am glad it's over though.

Sitting With the Big Guy

Yesterday the 8th, we had a Vario Christmas party, it was real fun for the girls to see Santa for the first time this year, They will probably have a couple more visits left before the Big Day but the first is always the most exciting.. The weather almost kept us from going but we had to see the family and see the Big Guy.






There was Mrs. Clause and Three elves to help so it was quite a production. Wendy and Russ was there with us, and we had some yummy Italian dinner with some good family fun.




The weekend with Cowboy Grandpa...

We spent the Thanksgiving weekend with cowboy Grandpa, It was a nice visit. The Girls loved riding Cisco, and Grandpa loves that the girls were so into it. I think he hopes for a little Rodeo Queen in each of them.


We really enjoyed our weekend, and loved being away taking it easy and relaxing before the month turns in to hectic holiday obligations and preparations. Ya know. I'm glad we are welcome to return to his little ponderosa ranch anytime.. We just might take him up on that.


Decorating the TREE

Wednesday before Thanksgiving we put up the tree. The girls loved every minute of it, Parker thought we should have a moment to reflect and sing Christmas songs. She is surely a sentimental girl.. I love that she wants there to be magic in everything. cute.


Morgan and Madison liked hanging the ornaments, but had a hard time not crowding them together. I had to follow behind them and



Sleep Over & Snow


Parker had a sleepover at Kaitlin's house decorating cookies . They played Barbie's and house and stayed up late,late,late..
While Maddi, and Morgan had some alone time to enjoy the winter wonderland going on
outside, it was so cute to see them try to catch snow flakes with their tongue, they giggled and laughed.

A Little late but, Trick or Treat....

Parker insisted on being a Cheerleader, and refused to wear anything underneath her costume, so here she is freezing for this picture before her coat went back on.. She was way cute though.
Morgan telling me she don't need wings and an antenna to be a lady bug, so before we even left the house she had already ditched half her costume.
And last but not least Madison swearing it's not that cold , she doesn't need a coat. (note: the red nose.) It was freezing... It was a rough start but it was fun my mom walked her neighborhood with us, and it was funny. The twins narrated the whole night for us, she gave me this.. or she said this.. and then the clincher, we went to an Asian women's home, never had the embarrassing moment yet with any of the girls, yet here it goes in slow motion out loud," Mom why are her eyes a little bit closed."other child says; " Ya! Mom HIS eyes are a little bit closed." and there it goes..... AAH!! I am hoping that she speaks little english at this point.. AAH! Me and my mom wished we had worn a costume at this point, really. It was a great night though .
.
Feeling a little artsy, I got a nik-nak for the girls to paint and they loved it, all I hear is can we get another one to paint. they all did very well. Maddy ad Moe were very patient and particular, and parker had fully painted hers over about six different colors, by the time they were done. It's way cool to see how different the all are. Maddy and Moe are calm and Parker is a little A.D.D un-diagnosed but still very restless and likes to be finished with things quickly. I'm alot like that, I have alot of creativity rolling around in there, but I am too excited t see the finished product. Like mother like daughter.

Me the 80's groupie got invited back stage with Slash and an ex-con broke out to attend the after party, and ended up hooking up with a hot cop. What a party.
Back stage there's always some working girls hanging around, but never without their pimp right around the corner.
The Incredibles showed up to be crowd control, Mr. Incredible was using his muscles to open drinks all night. The guys were glad to have him around.

It Was The Big 3-0!

I came home to a clean house, flowers, and a dinner date without kids.. thanks Hon. I made Parker take this picture, not bad huh! she was so excited to take Mom and Dad's date night picture.
I Turned 30 today! It has been emotional, not tearful, but just alot to think about. Have I accomplished everything I wanted to. Have I been the best wife, friend , or mother I could I be. It was a good weekend. I know I act as if this is it, but I guess it was a big milestone for me, I am not in my 20's anymore, I am suppose to have things together by now Right? well that's to much pressure. I am happy to be who I am , Flawed. I am Flawed. I have several imperfections, I am not always cheerful, patient and definitely not perfect, but who is? I am okay with that. I have a wonderful husband , great friends and family and they all love me for me. So I am going to hold my head proud and be as old as I feel, 25. My girls are beautiful, smart and silly. I am proud to be the Mom. Maybe I don't know what I'm doing or where life will lead me but I have a man and 3 ladies going where ever it is Im headed in life with me. Thanks for all the thoughtful gifts and calls and cards I loved every bit of it. Thanks for thinking of me. I am lucky to have all of you in my life.
