Broken Hips, Bloopers,and Puppies

We have had a very busy week and the Smith household. We started the week off by going to church on sunday. JD spit up on me in front of Anna (which made her gag) and I had to take him out of church. He hasn't spit up since he was 6 mo. Well we have a little room called the hearth room outside the sanctuary. It has a couch, fireplace, and some toys for the kids. We frequent it alot because JD screams his head off in the nursery and they always page me to come get him, and he dosen't want to sit still w/ us either! Well, we were playing in there and he ran out and I followed him. He ran back in and slammed the door in my face!! As I was reaching for the door, I thought ha ha wouldn't it be funny if the door locked. IT WAS!!!! JD locked himself in there! I went to go get someone to unlock it. It finally took about four people and three sets of keys. The whole time I could hear him laughing and playing thank goodness.

After we went to church we went to Little Mama's house to eat. We walked in and she had been on the phone with Kim. Kim was supposed to come see us the next day. Kim has fallen off a ladder and dislocated her hip!! She said she has popped her hip back in place (OUCH!!) and was ok and she was still coming. Well the next day she came and was getting around ok so we called Anna to come over and check her out. She said that Kim really needed to go to the Dr. and get checked out. Well she did and found out she fractured her hip and will probably have to have surgery!!!

When Anna and Chris came to see Kim she brought a suprise. They had found a puppy on the side of the road. Well, you know what happened Lexie fell in love with it and we ended up keeping it. I think they had that planned! The kids have had so much fun with him and he really is a good puppy. He has really kept Lexie entertained. His name changes everyday. It started out as Spot and right now it is B Dog ( that is from the movie Air Buddies).

JD has been really funny this week. He is starting to pretend play. He made me sit at the table with him and he pretended to eat. He would go yum, yum,yum. Also, he is starting to say 1,2,3 Go and will start running. He also walked behind Kim imitating her limp! Very funny!!

Long time no blog!

Wow I can't believe it has been since may 2nd since I blogged last. We all have been doing good. JD is really learning how to hit golf balls and dosen't go anywhere w/o his clubs. He hits it left handed though so my dad got him some lefty clubs! He is saying so much these days. We play hide and go seek with Lexie and I'll say "Where's Lexie?" and he'll answer "There she is".
They have had a great time swimming this year and Lexie is swimming like a fish!! I don't know what i am going to do with her all summer because she misses school and her friends. It is hard for me to entertain all the time.
My wonderful husband suprised me today. He had called his mom to babysit and loaded up the 4-wheeler and wanted to take me riding. We haven't done that in a very long time. That has many memories for us because that is what we did on our first date!! Then he took me out to eat!! Wow! I don' ever get that much time. The kids had a great time and Mamaw enjoyed them too. She dosen't get to keep them much.

Golf Ball

This is JD's new favorite thing to say. He loves to play golf. Actually he loves any kind of ball. The other day he played golf with Chad and Papa D. He knew just what to do he took his ball and walked over to the hole and threw it in!

Soccer

Lexie is doing great in soccer this year. She seems to really like it too. The other day she was playing and the little boy right beside her pulled his pants down and started peeing right there in the middle of the game!! That is all she could talk about for the rest of the night. She said I kept telling him, "NO, NO!"

Luau

For years every once in awhile we will have a party at Granny's with all the ladies that take care of her. We do it because we like to get together and those ladies can cook and also Granny always loved parties! We had a Luau this time and it was fun.

Lexie has also started soccer. She is doing really well this year. She scored a goal in her first game! Last year she had no idea where the ball was and would even sit down in the field and pick grass. JD also loves going to the games but he wants to play too. He ran on the field and almost got tackled by a group of 4 year olds.

JD is constantly talking about balls. He wakes up in the morning talking about them and goes to sleep talking about them. His favorite is golf and basketball. He has a golf club in his hand almost constantly.

Katie me and chad are jealous of your trip to Vegas. We went a couple of years ago and had so much fun!! We wished we were there too!

Here are some Luau pictures and some other random ones that were on mama's camera.

Where did March Go?

I can't believe it has been this long since I blogged. We have had a busy March. Lexie had spring break for two weeks and me and Papa D had our birthdays. I actually had to sit down and figure out how old I was. I lost a year somewhere! We spent several days in Nashville with Mimi and came home with the stomach bug! Lexie had it, then JD, then Chad, and Papa D!! As several of you know I am a pukeaphobic but I have learned that being a mother means seeing lots of it sometimes! I think I am overcoming it! But I was sure tired of washing sheets because when kids get it it seems to happen in the middle of the night.
We got well and we had a visitor from New York, Patty. She was the nanny for the NY kids and has been there almost as long as I can remember. To us she is family and we love her! My kids warmed up to her quickly and we took her to see the Mississippi River, the Casino at Carruthersville, Chic, and Reelfoot lake. We had a great time and didn't want to see her go. We are now back to our normal schedule and I will post some pictures.

SNOW!!

Yea!! We have snow and lots of it. The first good snow in years. We already have a time for sledding. Mimi is here and Anna is on her way!! Pictures to come.......
