Summertime!

Phew! What a summer so far! We've been busy beyond belief. We left on Father's Day for Omaha and we were there for almost 3 weeks. The drive as usual stunk! 2 days in the car with 2 small children is not a recipe for fun. We made it though and it was worth it. We got to do spend time with all of our family when we arrived in Omaha and we kept super busy. Aunt Janet took us on a wonderful boat cruise of the Missouri River, which the girls loved. They ate lunch and then were off looking at the sights. Jason and I were able to make to the last College World Series at Rosenblatt Stadium, which was a real treat( thanks Mom and Dad for babysitting)! We hung out with our cousins and even made it to the zoo. We spent time at the cabin and Abby and Emily saw there first real parade. We did leave someone behind in Omaha though, we said goodbye to our dear old cat George. He moved in with Mom and Dad permanently. He is adjusting well and so is Abby as George was truly Abby's cat. We miss him but we are thankful that Mom and Dad were willing to adopt him for us.

Once we arrived home from New Jersey we have been busy, busy, busy. We came home to doctor's appointments and more doctor's appointments! We also came home to some super nasty weather. We've had a heat wave that just won't quit as well as a flash flood on our street. The girls and I were on our way home when we got caught in the flash flood. Luckily we turned around and headed for Jason's work. Our street was so flooded that the water came up to our garage door and front door. Thankfully no water got in our house, one of our neighbors cars is pretty wet though.

Spring Concert part 2

Here is a video of Emily dancing at Abby's school spring concert. She can't help herself! Once she hears music she starts dancing!

Spring Concert

Here is a brief video of Abby's Spring Concert. The Kindergartener's sang the theme to the Mickey Mouse Club.

Whatever one does the other has to do it too!

It was an uneventful Saturday evening at the Smith household. Abby was at the neighbors playing and Jason and I were relaxing. Emily was wandering around the house and keeping her self occupied with her toys. Emily and I went to my bedroom for something and as we were walking back to the living room she turned around and looked at me. The problem was she kept walking and she walked right into the doorway of her room. She had an egg that appeared instantly on her forehead. She cried a bit and then she was fine. About 45 min later we heard a knock on our door and then Abby says, "Mommy, can you come out her please?" She was in our garage. Then I heard my neighbor's voice with her. I walked over to the door and there is Abby, our neighbors and their son standing in our garage. Abby had an ice pack on her head! It seems she got hit in the forehead with a child's horseshoe! She had/has a huge egg on her head too! Both girls are fine but it was actually quite funny that they both decided to get a good bump on their heads! I took a picture this morning of their matching goose eggs. I hope it shows up in the picture. Abby's is on her right and Emily's is on her left

Music time!

Whatever Abby does, Emily does

Emily thinks that Abby's room is the best place in the house. She is not really allowed in there due to the amount of tiny toys Abby has. Whenever Emily does get the chance to get into her big sister's room she never misses the chance to grab Abby's music player. Emily likes to put the headphones on her head and then she proceeds to push all the buttons she can on the MP3 player. She usually stands there and sings and dances. I actually thought she was listening to music until I realized she didn't have the darn thing on! She knows it plays music but since she couldn't figure it out she made up her own music and danced to it! Here

is picture of her holding the MP3 player but not listening to any music.

Outside fun in the Sun!
