A Wedding and New Years Day

A colleague of mine got married! It was so wonderful :-) She has four kids ranging from college aged to middle school and  they were all spiffy and dressed up. She was so radiant and happy!









The next day we had a snack break at Starbucks while waiting for Lulu (our car) to get an oil change and her tire pressure checked. We had fruit, greek yogurt with honey, and a chocolate croissant. So delicious!


That nigh we had two parties. The first started at home with the girls. They got all dressed up and danced around and we had dinner and played games. Then Sierra, babysitter extrordinair, arrived so we could begin the second half of our evening!


We went to a bona fide grown up party! Food + Friends = Fun!
Next year I think we will explore a venue that has dancing and a live band. This was a fun way to try a night out on new years and we even stayed up till midnight! I was so sleepy. 




At some point we started pretending we were on a photo shoot throughout the house. The pics from the indoor pool did not turn out right. It was too dark and the pool was empty. But the rest showcase Mr. Smith's bowtie, tied expertly by yours truly! 






Then we ate way to many of these treats as we played cribbage. We were being slightly anti-social, I know! However, we have so much fun together, we sometimes forget to have fun with others too. Luckily, other people were excited to see we were playing cribbage sans board and pegs!  Others joined in and then we moved on to other board games. Love it! 


Happy New Year!

Dancing

Cassidy loves to dance. So far, any type of music gets her going! In this video we were cleaning the kitchen when she decided to break out. When she saw the camera she started saying cheese because she thought it was a real camera. I hope you can see it!

After you clean your room...

This evening Cassidy revealed to me a small secret to keeping her occupied. After dinner she asked me if she could watch a show. We don't have tv, but we do have netflix through the wii on our tv and we watch all the greatness that PBS and Nickelodian have to offer! Except for Caillou because I think he's kind of whiny. Anyway, she gets to watch limited amounts of Diego, Dora, Dinosaur Train, Super Why, Word World, etc and sometimes we throw in some Cosby Show for good measure. She'll pick two shows and watch one, 20 minute episode of each and then we call it good. Well tonight when she asked for a show, I told her she could watch one episode of her favorite after she cleaned her room. She went into her room and as she started putting toys away, she started playing with them. She'd go to put books away and start "reading" them. Twenty minutes later she'd start putting crayons away, then start drawing with them. Ten minutes later she'd start putting awa...

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith

Dear Cassidy and future Baby Smith, I am sure that bloggers across the world are firing away about a news piece gone viral today. http://gma.yahoo.com/k-e-diet-brides-using-feeding-tubes-rapidly-080053646--abc-news-health.html In case this link is non-existent by the time you read this, long story short, people are using feeding tubes for rapid weight loss in a short amount of time. This is your mother talking. If for some reason this ridiculous trend is still around when you grow up, and you think about doing this to your self, please know that I will spank you and put you in timeout. You do not diet to fit into a dress, or suit. You pick an outfit that highlights your best attributes and get it tailored to fit your body, not the other way around. No matter what size you are, as long as your are healthy, not putting toxins into your body, and exercising, whatever size you are is beautiful and perfect in God's eyes because God does not make mistakes. There is a flattering de...
