Project Life Tuesday ~ January 11, 2011
So I have quite a few resolutions this year. One of them is to try and take at least one picture a day and to journal a little each day. As a scrapbooker, I love pictures and stories. So this seems like a do-able resolution. To help keep me on track, I decided to post this pictures here, rather than my craft blog. This way you can yell at me if I miss a Tuesday, and you all can see pictures from our daily lives. Sounds good, right? We'll see how long I can keep it up!
Sunday, January 2nd: Today we had our third Christmas, this time with Aunt Heather, Cousins Illona and Kaite, and Great-Grandma Watson. We had fun opening gifts, and had a wonderful lunch afterwards. Then we packed up for the two hour drive home. Mom and dad were thrilled to be home, but exhausted.
Monday January 3rd: Daddy had to go back to work. The boys found one of the old toys that they missed while in Wisconsin, too bad the batteries were dying. Happy cooperative play is pretty rare these days.

Tuesday, January 4th: Today Ryan made me laugh. He was trying his hardest to try and put the shoes from Mr. Potato Head on his feet. Of course, monkey see, monkey do and Matthew had to try too. Guess what, they didn't fit.
Wednesday, January 5th: We are all still recooperating from our colds. Both boys seem to be getting better, although Matthew's nose has been running constantly. At least Ryan's croup is gone and both boys are sleeping well at night again. Here we are chilling with daddy, watching the movie Cars, which is a favorite of both boys.
Thursday, January 6th: Today the boys and I made a trip to Toys R Us to return a duplicate gift. We picked up a few new toys, the little people musical train and a Mickey Mouse story reader (which mommy was not happy with and will be returning in the near future). We saw a Sunset Hill cop at the store, and the lady behind me had to thank her for all the work they have done with the tornado damage. For those of you who don't know Sunset Hills is a small suburb of St. Louis, about 5 minutes from the house. They got hit hard by a tornado on New Years Eve. You can see some images of the damage here.
Friday, January 7th: Not all days are good around here. I unfortunately don't remember what caused this, probably a fight over a toy. Poor little guy!
Saturday, January 8th: Today Grandma Smith, Aunt Heather and cousin Katie came down. They have classes in St. Louis every month, and stop by afterwards to visit. They took us all out to lunch for daddy's birthday. Here the boys have discovered the condensation on the storm door window and they were painting pictures.
I hope you all have enjoyed this week's pictures! Remember to get on me if I forget to post again next Tuesday!

Monkeying Around ~ December 14, 2010
It's quite chilly down here in St. Louis. I am sure most of you are laughing at me right now, thinking "well, it's darn cold up here!" Hee hee. Well us Southerners are not used to this cold, this early. Did you know they close schools around here for an inch of snow?Mostly to keep the kids safe from the crazy drivers down here! Anyway, I digress. You came here to see pictures of the boys, not listen to me ramble. :)
We picked up the monkey hats a few months ago, mommy couldn't pass them up in the store. Ryan hates wearing it, as soon as we are in the van, the hat comes off and is thrown on the floor. We'll see if he keeps it on when we get to play out in the snow, when it warms up a little that is!
And this is what happens when I try and get a picture of the two of them now that they are completely mobile. My camera is not fast enough for the two of them!
Have a wonderful day! Love from the Smith family!

Matthew's first words? ~ October 17, 2010
Sorry, yet again I haven't made time to post any new pictures or videos of the boys. We have been busy remodeling our living room, and with life in general. I have to admit, I have been a little worried about the boys because they will be 18 months soon, and we were not hearing any specific words from them. They both will babble, Matthew more than Ryan, and can say "dada" and "mama," but neither of them would say it when they saw us. I picked up a few word books, since the boys love to read, and surprise, surprise... Matthew started repeating some words, in his own little way. Here are a few videos of Matthew:
Ryan still does not talk much... he may say "tickle" when he babbles, but still nothing that I can distinguish. We will see at his next ped check up if we will need to see a specialist to help Ryan out.

City Park ~ August 15, 2010
I hope you are keeping cool on these HOT days. The boys found the best way to stay cool, was to play in the splah fountains at City Park in downtown St. Louis. We had visited the park once before, when the boys were first learning how to walk, but they really had fun today when they were set loose to run about. Matthew took to the fountains pretty fast, while Ryan still prefered to keep his distance for a while.
After getting soaked in the fountains the boys decided to check out the rest of the park. They had a lot of fun meeting other little friends, and running away from mom and dad.
When it came time to leave, both boys were extremely upset that we had to go... I think they would have been happy to give up their lunch and nap to stay at the park all day. Unfortunately mommy and daddy won that battle.

The Cheerio Dance ~ July 23, 2010
I don't know what is going through Matthew's head while he is eating his cheerios, but I thought this was so cute. He doesn't do it all the time, just a few times. Luckily I caught it on video. I never knew these tasted so good!

I am including some older pictures of the boys, since they are related. These are from January, it's funny to see how different they look, especially Matthew! He's lost a lot of his chubby cheeks!
