I really think this picture says it all!

Merry Christmas from the Smith's!

Christmas was exciting as usual this year-the girls enjoyed visiting with mimi and pawpaw and anticpating te arrival of their new lil' brother(that still does not have a name!)

Uncle Shucks Pumpkin Farm

I took the girls to Uncle Shuck's pumpkin farm Sunday afternoon. Alan had just gotten home from Japan and was too tired to go with us, so... we left him at home!

It was our first visit there and it was pretty cool. We tried to do the corn maze, but after 30 minutes of ending up at the same place, we gave up and went on the hayride! After that we picked out a pumpkin- we will take that home to Dad for his part-PUMPKIN CARVING!!

Look who joined the lost tooth club!

Well, Reagan lost her first tooth! She was so funny- the thing was just hanging there and she would not let me pull it ! She said she thought her head might come off! Finally, she couldn't eat because it hurt to bite down so she let me pull it out. I have never seen her so happy! I left the room to get Sydney ready for school and Alan said she was just staring at her tooth and grinning!

Double Digits!!

10

She' 10- yep. How did that happen so fast? It seems like just yesterday we were trying to figure out what to name her, learning to tie shoes, losing the first tooth( which I wasn't there for by the way! Her dad was!)

For her birthday, we went to Outback Steakhouse- her favorite- where JoJo and Tyler joined us for dinner. Then on the following Saturday, she had a pool party at our pool. She had cake and pizza, plenty of friends and grass skirts! Now what else could a 10 year old girl want?

Oh yeah, she wants a horse too.

First day of school!

Well, I can't believe the first day day finally arrived. My babies are growing up to fast. Sydney started 5th grade- this is a big year for her. It is her last year in elementary school. Next year we will be in MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Reagan started first grade. She is just beginning the long journey of school and already thinks the day is too long! I hear ya sister!

Ever wonder how 6 year olds party?

The afternoon of Reagan's birthday, we had a party at the our community pool. She had all of her favorite people in attendence-including two young fellows who were not sure about a party of all girls!! we swam, ate pizza and cake, and opened presents. What more could a girl ask for?

Oh yeah....a horse!
