Mom! Do I HAVE to go to school??

That is the question I am asked at least 3 times per week! Well, yesterday the answer was actually "Nope!" Alissa goes to the afternoon 4-K class & the school had an early release day so that meant Alissa didnt have school. She was pretty happy & so was I. The mornings can get hectic trying to get breakfast on the table, Alissa in the bath & ready for school before 11 am. In the meantime there are dirty diapers to change & messes to clean up! And let's not forget my daily cup(s) of coffee!

So this is all about how our day went yesterday :)


We got to snuggle on the couch & watch the movie Rio. (Love that movie!!)

   Alissa absolutely adores snuggling with her bubba. She asks to hold him all the time & just can't stop giving him kisses!

Then Lily got to eat lunch at the big table with her big sister & she just loves being a big girl!

They played for a while outside before Lily took a nap. I've never let Lily outside with just Alissa before and I kept my eye on them through the kitchen window. I told Alissa to stay where I could see them & they did so well! Lily just followed Alissa around & Alissa made sure to stay in my sight. I am so proud of my girls. They were playing so nicely together that I couldnt help myself.. I had to snap some pictures!

Lily ended up passing out on the couch for her nap, Alissa watched another movie while I folded clothes, started dinner & got ready for Jteam. Cicily came over to watch the kids, Paige came over for Jteam but Jteam got cancelled so we all hung out together & let the kids play.

Last night was night #3 for Lily sleeping with Alissa & I am very surprised but happy to report that each night has been amazingly easy! No fighting or whining.. they both just laid quietly & went to sleep!! Proud of my two big girls!!

im back.

Funny Quote of the Day: Alissa: "Ugh, mom!! Bubba just shot breastmilk in my eye!!" .. with the most disgusted face... Me: (giggling) "Calm down, Its just formula!"

it has been SO long since my last blog post! and our lives have changed SO much! Since my last post, I have given birth to another daughter, Lilliana Jewel Smith born May 10, 2010 at 4:34 am, weighing 7 lbs 15 oz and 21 1/2 inches long!

Alissa was such a sweet, proud big sister that day. She was touching her hands & kissing her head as often as she could! That was also the day that my sweet girl turned into an evil monster. :) Lily is my silly girl who loves to give love & her smile just makes everything right with the world. I love you Lilliana.

After Lily was born we moved to SC for a chance at a better life. Shortly after moving here God decided to bless us again..

I became pregnant with our son & gave birth to William Clark Smith II aka "Deuce" on June 1, 2011 at 2:33 am weighing 8 lbs 11 oz and 23 inches long!

The doctor said he had never seen a 23 inch long baby! He's our big boy! He's such a handsome little man, he is so sweet & loves to snuggle. He's definitely a big flirt with the ladies! :) Lily & Alissa love being big sisters & they love to hug & kiss their baby brother. I am so blessed & so proud to be a mother of these precious babies.

God has blessed us beyond all comprehension! We have been given a second chance & for that I am eternally grateful.
