Ireland is growing up

I have to share.... Ireland can tie her shoes now. She has been working so hard at it and she finally was able to tie both of them today. Also, we went swimming today and she did so well going under the water and going down the slide. She has been so afraid of the water and today she realized that there isnt anything to be afraid of... I am so proud of my little girl. Way to go gorgeous!!!

Tyler and yoga/pilates class

Tyler and I took our first yoga/pilates class together last night and I must say he did an awesome job... sorry no photos of my hunky hubby doing his downward dog or warrior but it was funny:) This guy farted in the class and for those of you who do yoga you know that you get so relaxed that gas seems to expel unfortunately, but the instructor lost it and well then we all lost it. Isn't farting funny. I dont know why but no matter how serious of a person you are passing gas whether it comes from a small child or your spouse its funny:) Anyways I just had to share about our experience. It was soo funny and Tyler did such a great job!!!

Braeden and his first taste of ice cream

I had to show these of Braeden eating ice cream for the first time. It was hilarious, he saw us laughing and then he started laughing. I didnt get any of the funny faces that he was making but the smiles say it all.

Braedens nine month checkup

Braeden went to the doctor today and we wanted to let you all know how he is doing. He weighs 23 pounds and is 29inches tall. The doctor said he is doing very well. We of course already knew this:) Braeden also now has 3 teeth and is working on the 4th. He seems to have made friends with one of my glue sticks. He doesnt want to be anywhere without it...... Kinda funny:) The ridges on the lid I think help the teeth come thru. Also we had some ice cream last night and I gave him some, and lets just say he is my son.... He loved it:) Mommy is sooo proud of her little boy, keep up the good work Chubsy!!!

Me and my handsome husband

I wanted to post this on Valentines day but for some reason they were having trouble with the site. So.... I am going to do it now. I had to post this becuase I am so in love with my husband and I just had to share. We are 2 very lucky people to have found each other and to have created this amazing family that we now have. I love him more today then the first time I told him I loved him. He is an amazing man and he is a wonderful father. I am so in love with you Mr. Smith, and I cant imagine my life with anyone else. I LOVE YOU!!!!

Braedens first trip to the swimming pool

Here are pictures from our first trip to the gyms pool. It was a lot of fun and it was kinda neat knowning that it was 9 degrees outside and we were in a pool. The girls had a blast and I think the little man did too. He splashed and kept wanting to drink the water.

Valentines Fondue

Here are some pictures from our annual Valentines Fondue. We started it a couple years ago and now it has become tradition. The girls love it and even Braeden got involved this year.

New swimming trunks

We bought Chubsy his second swim suit just in case you were wondering why well our son has decided to be bigger then his daddy I think . We tried it on him and had to take some pics. He looks like he is ready to hit the waves and start surfing right now. What a funny boy he is and ohhhh so handsome...

We joined the gym and they have a pool so we thought we would take the kids swimming. It will be intersting to see how he likes it.

Braeden in the water bowl

Here is our Chubsy, hard at play. He tends to crawl over to the dog bowl, pull it between his legs and splash around until we take away his fun. At first, we were not sure what he was doing but he was content for quite some time. When we found out what he was doing, we couldn't stop laughing. So wet, but having so much fun. Silly Chubsy.
