What a week! I can't believe Friday is here already.

For Hayden's party i never did really recap very well. The weather was in the 30's and 40's, so nice. I even went without a jacket for a while. We had a total of about 47 people though out the day. Everyone was at least up at the sledding hill if not on it! Its great fun watching adults go down the hill, too bad i couldn't see them on Monday morning trying to get up! We had no injured either, whew. Hayden got to try out skating for the first time. He did pretty good, he fell down a lot but didn't get discouraged, which is what I was most worried about. He really wants to play Hockey, but I told him that he needs to learn to skate first. When we finally came inside Hayden was wet down to his undies, thats wet. He received so many nice gifts! He's having a blast with all of them.

Sunday for the Super Bowl Hayden and I got ditched! But we sat at home and played games and puzzles. We did have the game on in the background. We also went with my Mom and Dad to Barnes for a little drive.

This week has been busy with lots of little things. I've been tired at night and going to bed around 9:30 and 10:30, but it feels so good!

This weekend we have the first of the Weddings for the year. My cousin Katy's wedding is on
Saturday night. Hayden is going to dance with his Nana, and he is wearing his "work shoes" for dancing.

Weather is suppose to be nice again this weekend. I hope everyone enjoys!

Here are a few photos from the birthday party on Saturday. We were beyond lucky and had the nicest weather of the year! We had tons of fun, lots of sledding and Hayden tried out skating. It was a great day!

More pictures can be found in Jan09 album!

Smith baby number 2's name is:



Carson. Its a combo of Carter and Mason too! Our 2 favorite names that couldn't be used.

Yeah to Lisa and my Mom for guessing correctly.

Yup, he still doesn't have a middle name. I like Emery, Bennett, or Emmitt.

Hayden spilled the beans to my mom last weekend. Or she badgered it out of him.

**I am bumping this up to the top until Hayden's Birthday Party! We are really enjoying hearing your thoughts!!!!! Keep them coming!

All is well here on the baby front. Baby is 96% nothing wrong, just has a lemony shaped head! His nickname will be Lemon =) As always he was very stubborn on Monday and Mommy got poked and prodded with the ultrasound wand and boy was she sore afterwards. I thought I'd have bruises all over but I don't. He also wasn't very willing to show off his face but very open to showing us his boy parts! I think i have more pictures of those than anything else! Silly little guy! We also have his first name set! But middle name is another story! Oh well we have a while left to figure that out.

Hayden has been a busy little bee lately. I think he still has Christmas pumping through him. He has been sleeping very well and long too! He also knows most of his constants sounds! Again I can't take full credit for this, as we started working on them and he just knew most of them. vowels are hard for him, but I still have to think about them too! We are pretty pumped because we really wanted to start working on reading this summer and think we might be almost there!

Hayden is having a Skating and Sledding Birthday party on Jan. 31st too! We will have the house open and have stuff at the Warming shack across the street. It will be an all day affair from Noon until dark! Hopefully it wouldn't be too cold! Look for your invitations soon! They are being printed today, hopefully correctly this time! Oops Mommy mistake!

I thought maybe we could have a little contest with our Baby's name! Put your thoughts under the comments section and if we have a winner how about a free McCafe from Jason's McDonalds? They are yummy!
I'll give some hints.
**40% of all boys names end in the letter N. As in HaydeN and JasoN and BrandoN.
**The most common first letter on the 100 Most Popular baby names is C, reoccurring 12 out of the 100 times!
We'll give it until Hayden's Birthday party!

We had a fun, fun weekend! We celebrated Jessica's birthday party down at her house on Saturday. I have a TON of pictures! Its weird to me that they are both already 4. Where does time go? Hayden and I were looking at pictures and it seemed like just yesterday they were totting around. It was cold this weekend so we didn't get to go sledding, but this weekend we will! Cold or not! As of right now the weather for sunday is suppose to be 32, which really isn't that bad!!!Hayden got his first makeover this weekend, by Miss Jessica. He loved it! LOL. He did think it was pretty cool. Sunday I had a wedding shower for my cousin Katy who is getting married in 2 weeks. I have so many weddings this year! This is just the first one, but I'm excited and it should be fun. Jason also is getting fitted for his tux for Jon's wedding this week and Kenny's. He is very excited to be wearing "coral" for Jon's wedding. Too funny. Also our baby countdown is down to 2 digits! 99 days, crazy.

Enjoy the pics! More updates this week! Can't wait to see everyone at the Party on Saturday!

I am soooo wanting to take pictures of babies! Today i purchased a tutu for taking pictures in. I already roped Jodie's little girl Callie into posing for me! She has some way cute baby chub, can't wait to do it! Jason purchased a bunch of stuff for me for my birthday and christmas for a mini photo studio, and i haven't used it yet. I love taking candid pictures mostly but its so hard in the winter as everything looks so washed out or blah. I love color!!!! I can't wait for a newest Model, ummm i mean child to arrive!!!
