Annual Saturday of Fun :)

I haven't been in much of a blogging mood lately (obviously) but I just wanted to share a few cute photos that were on my phone :)

This is Princess Hattie (my cousins little girl) and Princess Rylee, (this is what they call each other)...Earlier in the summer when we went to Yellowstone with my mom's whole family, these two got to play and spend a lot of time together!! Now, you may ask yourself why they refer to each other as Princess Rylee & Hattie, well that is because my mom told them a story one night about two Princesses named Rylee & Hattie and how they had to be rescued by a Prince named Edward (hahah I know) from the Dragon that stole their crowns!!! To this day Rylee still will tell me the story, its so CUTE!!
My cute Grandma does an Angel Tree activity every year with all the grand-kids, its such a fun and neat experience to be able to know that these kids are going to be smiling about something on Christmas morning!!
After the Angel Tree Shopping my grandma takes everyone to bowling and pizza.... I have the greatest Grandma in the WORLD!!!


They had the cosmic lights turned on when we first got there and Rylee was loving that her shirt was glowing and she couldn't stop talking about bowling all week long, I'm glad the weather held out so we could drive down :)

This is Rylee and Cole (my cousin) they are 3 months apart and have the greatest time playing with each other...I cant even explain how fun it is to watch these two play, they were helping each other carry the bowling ball to the lane, they were dancing around everywhere and just having a great time!! It's so fun for Ry to have these cousins that are her same age :)

And we couldn't forget about the little Sydnee bug, she slept most of the time during bowling so she didn't get in on too much of the bowling excitement :0 But here is her new thing she does, She loves to stand up in the bathtub (ya we are destined for a lot of bumps and bruises) She thinks she's doing something pretty amazing when she pulls herself up on the side of the tub and she just laughs and gives me the biggest smile, until she slips and goes back down :O
All is well just gearing up for Christmas in a couple weeks (can you believe that) Shane gets home next Saturday and is here for 2 weeks, Yeah!!!
Hope this Holiday Season is treating you all Well....

Sydnee is 7 Months

* This is little Muffin is growing up so fast here's some things she's up to:

* Loves to roll and roll
* Gets up on her knees and hands but cant figure out how to move them
* She eats pretty much anything, however gets mad when she cant have a taste of what me and Ry are eating
* Still will not sleep through the night, in fact she thinks its a good time to be awake actually
* When we talk to Shane on the computer at night, Sydnee literally wants to attack the computer
* She will clap for herself on occassion (not sure she knows whats she doing but its still cute)
* Is definitely her own little person who knows what she wants and cries til she gets it (Oh No)
* Loves to sit and play with Rylee
* She'd rather eat a book than look at it :)
* Her favorite toy lately is a toothbrush (good on the gums I guess)
* The bath tub is her utmost favorite place to be, she goes crazy anytime she sees the tub

*LOVES HER BIG SISTER

Happy Birthday Mom

Happy Bithday Mom
Hope you have a great day

Happy Halloween :)

On the Friday night before Halloween we went to the Legacy Center in Lehi with my mom and aunt Annie....they had tonz of little kid games, trick or treating, spook alley, a movie on a jumbo screen and a magic show...it was crazy busy with people but I think Rylee had a lot of fun!!

Sydnee just chillin in her carseat, she was a little scared of the dark, so thank goodness we found some light!!

Rylee found her new best friend, a giant inflatable black cat!!!

We were walking around trick or treating and of course Rylee found Edward...

Ry getting ready to trick or treating on Halloween night. This is infront of my mom's house!!!
She went trick or treating with my cousin Cole, he's 3 too.... so they had a blast running around and getting candy... it was really funny she would run up to the doors and sometimes there would be older kids that would run infront of her and she would push them out of they way and push the door bell... serves the big kids right for pushing a little a girl around.... all in all she had a fun night, probably her favorite part was giving out candy to the trick or treaters that came to my mom's!!! Happy Halloween (:

My New Favorite Treat... (if you dont have a sense of humor dont bother looking)

I found these at the store...and I must say "Edward" was very delish....hahaha

A Picture Preview of the Smith Girlies

Thanks Betsy you are so Awesome!!!

A Very Early Happy Halloween

My neighborhood had a very early Halloween Party for the kiddos and My wonderful neighbor Betsy took all the kids pics!!! They played lots of games and had many many many yummy treats!!!
(Thanks again Betsy and Keni you guys Rock)

This is Rylee with her two little friends: Skyler and Lucas

Just Because

Just Because I think its totally worth mentioning (mainly for my liking) Sydnee slept from 9 to 4 last night without waking up....this is awesome because for the past few weeks or so shes been waking up like every two hours and I was ready to start sleeping outside (haha) And even better I actually went to bed at 10 and I didnt move until I heard her at 4. I cant remember the last time I slept straight for 6 hrs (I dont sleep well/sound) it was totally amazing, I could have started my day at 4, that's how refreshed I felt!!! But because Sydnee was obviously feeling generous she went back to bed until 7.... Yes I can only cross my fingers in hopes that it will happen again tonight :)

Also worth mentioning, this little chica loves to eat anything, fruit, veg, or cereal...oh I hope it continues....Her big sister still refuses to each pretty much anything...So I really hope she continues to just love eating those veggies :) If she see's me or Rylee put anything in our mouth she will sit there with her mouth open like "where's my bite guys" its hilarious.
I love my girls :)

Alright off to read "New Moon" again for like the 4th time...I know, I know.....
Goodnight :)

I Know its like a Week Late........PreSchool

She was so excited she couldn't wait to go to School

I dropper her off and she said "See ya later mom" walked over to her table sat down and started to tell another girl her name was Rylee and wanted to know if she wanted to be friends....
I guess I dont have to worry about my kid crying when dropping them off at School, she was excited to get rid of me I suppose :)

This is the tired eyes and sorta smile pose....

She loves school though and cant wait to go...she doesn't quite understand why she cant go every day!! Its great though, they do 2 hrs of school/academic work and then the last hour they do tumbling (tuesdays) and then on Thursday's they do swimming for the last hour!!! She has a ball and is so excited to go each day!! I love it~~

The Price of Peace

Two young girls wrote this song for their dad who is in the Army....its really worth listening to even if you don't have any affliation with the military, it will give you an appreication for what our DAD's/mom's, Husbands/wives, friends, brothers/sisters fight for.....YOU

Shaner we miss you very much, its only been two weeks but it feels like a lot longer...March cant get here fast enough!!!

Love You

Jamie, Rylee & Sydnee
(thanks Liz for sending me the song)

Two Little Ladies

Well I can't believe it's September already....Before you know it it'll be Christmas again(oh dear)
But I am excited for fall though, its my favorite time of year, I love the crisp clean air (not freezing though) and the beautiful fall leaves!!
Rylee starts preschool on Tuesday, holy cow I am so not ready for this...I think I'm really nervous she wont like it so I hope I'm wrong :) I'm not sure she really understands that she is going to school and hopefully it doesn't hit her like a wall on her first day....But I guess we will just have to wait and see!!! (I hope she loves it though)
Sydnee is growing up fast and wanting to do everything Rylee does...she gets so excited to see Rylee in the mornings and will watch Rylee's every move when she is dancing around...(I can/can't wait to see them together in a year or so, oh WOW)
She loves to take baths and splash, splash, splash....oh how nice it will be when she can finally sit up by herself ;)

Da da da dum dummmm.....

IT'S CEREAL TIME
Sydnee had her first taste of cereal the other day and lets just say she didn't think it was the greatest thing in the world but I also didn't get it spit all over me either so it went alright....
She definitely preferred the little bit of frosting I put on her tongue later though...hahaha


Cutesy Rylee finally looked at the camera and we managed to correct the major head tilting somewhat (just a lil I suppose) but I guess it wouldn't be a Rylee pic without her posing/head tilting :)


Not entirely a fan of being a part of pictures but I had to post this one because I actually had caught a moment this week where this little girl is smiling, she hasn't had a great past couple of weeks because those two bottom little teeth decided to pop up and lets just pray the rest don't come any time soon :( poor little girl ):


I sit and wonder where Ry bug got this blonde, golden hair from.....hmmmm
She's definitely one of a kind!!!! :)


No More kisses please "MOM" ;)
