I love mike smith

Thinking……

I want to enjoy my life, not just my children’s.

I’m not trying to sound selfish, I totally love being a Mom and seeing the world through their eyes. But I need to be better balanced.

I am so grateful to have him in my life.

You Want Her?

Free baby. Really cute….see?

Has millions of smiles. Loves to babble and do raspberries. She will grab your face and give you wet, open mouth kisses if she loves you a whole bunch. She smells good, even when she goes three days without a bath. She loves to eat paper. She will play contently for an hour if you give her a watch (preferably a “water resistant” one). She is starting to eat food, though she does not like peas (she shivers and gags). Her Mommy walks around like a zombie and has to put forth a tremendous amount of effort to be nice to the other five. She is free for the asking. One condition: you have to bring her back when she starts sleeping through the night!!!

*This free baby wakes multiple times through the night and will only sleep if she is right next to another human. When moved to her cradle, she wakes and cries. She also has to nurse several times throughout the night. If you are still interested, talk to her siblings about taking her home with you today.

More Feet

kimkaysmith — Wed, 22 Jul 2009 19:09:00 +0000

I like feet (though I hate to touch them if they are older than two) because they tell stories all by themselves. Here are a few stories that I have captured over the years.

Which one is your favorite?

………………. Audrey Madeleine

And she’s full of of cuteness. And she has beautiful blue eyes. And everyone loves her. And she’s SEVEN months.

Today.

She has one quarter of a tooth. She can sit with help. She weighs twenty pounds. She is off the charts for height. She can say bababababa and Papa. We love her chub. She has blonde hair and beautiful blue eyes. She can do raspberries and she smacks when we kiss her.

We love her more every day.

WOW!!!!!

I am home.

Alone.

Well, almost.

The baby is asleep in her cradle.

Mike took the other five grocery shopping.

The house is so quiet.

I can only hear a fan blowing and birds chirping outside.

I think I’ll go take a shower….alone, without someone coming in!!

I can even shave my whole legs instead of just the part where my Capri’s don’t cover.

I’m going to go all out and wash my hair AND blow dry it.

I’m so excited!!!

Pictures

A post about our fabulous four day weekend is in the works, in the meantime here are some great shots of the kids:

Liam bookin’ it up the beach runnin’ from the waves:

The three cutest, most wonderful girls in all the world.

Here is Caleb attempting to duplicate some of the moves he saw in the circus:

(Or maybe he’s trying to get to heaven).

Audrey took a long nap on the beach. Good to know she finds it as relaxing as I do. I told you we were a beach loving family.

Harrison: “You dare me to eat this, Mom?”

We couldn’t forget about the annual tradition of taking a picture of ALL the kids.

And here are all fourteen kids at the reunion. All of them are under 12.

We have six, Todd and Angie have five and Jason has three.
