Calvin is 18 months

My baby is 18 months!!  This little guy has gotton so big and is no longer a sweet little baby.  He isn't using words yet but grunts a lot to tell me what he wants.  He loves balls and cars and always has one in his hands at all times.  He drinks from a sippy and prefers a fork and spoon over eating with his fingers.  He doesn't share very well and when he wants something he screams at the top of his lungs until he gets what he wants (we are trying to work on that).  He loves his sister, Sidney, he snuggles with her and when he is sad he wants her to hug him, especially when mom is the one who got upset with him.  He has a playful personality and is always into something.  Lately he has started coloring all over my walls and couch.  He likes to throw stuff in the toilet, and if someone else is touching an item he needs to touch it too.  He makes my day even better and I would be lost with out him.  I am so thankful for this little guy, with out him my day wouldn't be so eventful.

Lego Building- Aug. 2012

For FHE in August we went to a lego building family fun night.  Their were instructions on how to build stuff out of legos.  The kids had fun going from table to table making stuff.  This was a good activity especially since the kids play with legos daily.

Sid and Kaleigh building the eiffel tower.

Here is Sid holding the completed Eiffel Tower

Hagen Build the whitehouse and put a lego ninja on the top. 

this was Calvin's reaction to the whole experience.  He was not interested in playing with the legos and just wanted to climb the stairs in the building and Mom was tired of climbing the stairs.  He wasn't a happy camper.

School Year 2012/2013

School is finally here!  Not only was Mom excited but so were the kids, finally!  Below is a pix of the Smith crew the morning of the first day of school. 

Kaleigh is in the third grade.  She has lots of friends and they call her Kay Kay.  She has grown up sooo much and is smart, helpful, Sassy, and the most amazing kid ever.  I don't know what I would do with out her.  She is the best big sister ever.

Hagen is in 1st grade and loves lego anything.  He loves movies and superhero's.  He always gives  hugs and wears his emotions on his sleeve.  He is an amazing kid. 

Sidney was able to get into the preschool at Westmore and she loves school sooo much.  She is learning her letters and tells me what every letter is every where we go.  She is a sassy little 4 year old who is never afraid to tell mom and dad no and is full of personality.  She loves her little brother and is always looking out for him.  when he is sad and mom is not happy with him he hugs his sister instead, which just melts my heart. 

 Calvin stays home with mom and plays and naps.  He is constantly growing and changing.

Here we are eating cookies and talking about our first day of school.  Sidney had her testing to see if she got into the pre-school that morning.

As you can tell she was able to get into the pre-school that Westmore offers.  She is next to her teacher Mrs. Scholle.
