Family pics

These are from May. I am very behind on posting and I want to play catch up because I have the girls' birthday pics to post!

The New Arrival

No, I'm not pregnant. We decided to get a kitten, as if we don't have enough going on. Henry is extremely affectionate, so we thought he would benefit greatly. Sophia had her heart set on a girl kitten so she could name her Saraphina. However, the family where we got the kitten only had a male left. Needless to say, he wears a pink collar and his name is Saraphina. The kitty will be "fixed" anyway, so we're hoping that Sophia will never ask or notice by the time she's old enough. Minor details. Henry has decided he loves her and they actually play together. She is a great cat and puts up with being strolled around in the stroller and shopping cart by Soph. All in all, good choice by the Smith family.

Strawberry Festival

We went to the Strawberry Festival this weekend. It was great. The best part was Sophia getting to ride a horse (and a pony) for the first time. She was so excited and so proud of herself! She rode the horse twice and the pony once. She would've gone lots more, but unfortunately it wasn't free! She picked strawberries (of course), got her face painted, went on a hayride, and enjoyed some kettle corn. A good time was had by all!

Hooray for Cole

This is just to congratulate Cole (against his wishes, he's not much on bragging-but I am!) on making Senior Airman "Below the Zone". This means that he made it earlier than scheduled because he is awesome. We all know that he excels in everything he does, and this is no different. I love his great work ethic and he sets a great example for the girls (and everyone else).

Ancient Photos

Ok, so I'm only 30 (almost 31), not that ancient. These are of me when I was a wee little one. You'll have to click on them to enlarge them enough to see, but basically the point is Lola Mae is my little clone. I didn't think I was that cute as a baby, but apparently it was just poor photography (sorry mom :) ) Enjoy!!

Say Cheese!!

Lola Mae started doing this a couple of weeks ago. When you aim the camera at her she does what I can only asume is her version of saying cheese. It used to be (I thought) because of the flash, but now she does it regardless. It's so funny.

Matching Dresses

Mamaw made Sophia and her baby matching dresses with bonnets. Sophia was so excited. She has worn it almost every day.

Visitors

Grandma, Grandaddy, and Uncle Cody came for a short visit a few weeks ago. It was alot of fun as always, but too short as always!

What Are You looking At?!!

Lola Mae loves Yo Gabba Gabba (think Sesame Street on LSD). It's about the only thing she pays attention to on the tube-which is fine with me.

Henry's Haircut

As Sophia puts it, Henry went to the barber. He's still a beast, but with alot less hair. He has been so happy. I guess since he has aot more free time now that he doesn't have to constantly bath himself. I appreciate the absence of hair floating around my house! Yes, I am aware of the filthy door glass. Between the animals and children, it is almost impossible to keep clean, so just don't look.
