2009-06-13T14:00:00.002-06:00

Walker turned 11 months on the 11th of June! I cant believe in one month he will be a year old! They grow way to fast!

11 months!

A week old! His looks sure have changed!

I found him sleeping in his room the other day. He is so sweet. I love these pictures.

The same day Wyatt fell asleep on the soon to be dinning room table. It used to be our coffee table. It is way to big now that we have little ones!

Connor, Kaylee, Tripp, and Thatcher welcomed their new family member tonight!!! Samuel Truett Bryan finally arrived tonight. Kaylee was in labor all. Kaylee and baby Truett are both doing great. They were very surprised because he weighed in a little over 9lbs. I think they were expecting a 7lb baby. I hope Connor gets pictures up on their blog soon.

I'm so behind!

On April 23rd Wyatt turned 2! I have so many pictures to put on my blog. I wish I had time to today but I hope to this weekend. My mom called and wanted me to put pictures of Wyatt on the golf course in Burnet at his Papa and Lita's house so Pappy and Memaw could see them because they are so cute! I will post Wyatt's Birthday Party's soon! I'm also trying to photoshop on my own some of these pictures. Wish me luck! LOL!

Prom with Mase and boys in Easter outfits!!

2009-04-05T14:42:00.009-06:00

Yesterday, my little brother ,Mase, went to prom with his girlfriend! I decided before he left my parents' house I wanted to get some pictures of the boys with Mase in his tux. My mom went picture happy with the camera! LOL! We took about 120 pictures!!!!! I have been wanting to take the boys pictures in Tyler in front of all the Azalea blooms ,but I haven't had the time. Since my parents have some azaleas in their back yard, I dressed the boys in their Easter outfits for pictures together. Wyatt nor Walker really wanted to take pictures yesterday so my parents puppy Sparky got to be in their pictures. I think we got some really good ones. Some of the other pictures were taken at the Cook's house where Mase picked up Caitlin. My parents went to hang out with Caitlin's parents while their kiddos were at prom. Mase and Caitlin are so cute together and took great pictures! (YES, I'm bragging on them! Don't tell them! LOL!) It was hard picking through all of the pictures, so enjoy!

Happy Birthday Aunt Marsha!!!! (Tomorrow)

2009-04-03T12:16:00.007-06:00

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUNT MARSHA!!!!!! I know I'm one day early! The boys are both taking a nap so it is the perfect time for me to post a blog. Have a wonderful day tomorrow! We miss and love you! See you soon!!

P.S. Happy Birthday Day Nancy!!! Nancy is Marsha's twin sister.

Easter came early today!

2009-03-30T19:33:00.005-06:00

Today we got a package in the mail from Papa and Lita. Wyatt was so excited when he saw me bring it in that I had to hide it till Blake got off of work. I know Easter is still a few weeks away but we let the boys go ahead and open their gift. Wyatt had a great time eating the chocolate bunny. I just hope it doesn't keep him up all night! LOL! Oh well, we are letting his Papa and Lita spoil them from miles away! Wyatt and Walker say thank you and we miss and love y'all!

Something went wrong with my last post!

2009-03-29T17:42:00.002-06:00

I have been working all my last post all week and yesterday I decided to finally finish. Of course, when I start working on it the wind has to start blowing so hard our electric goes out all day. My pictures are now all out of order and my writing disappeared. Today I rewrote and reorganized the pictures!!!!!! Now for some reason when I posted the blog my writing disappeared again and the pictures are in a different order. I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHAT IS HAPPENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope later on tonight when the boys go to bed I can get back on and write about our weekend with the family!!

P.S. Yesterday while the electric was out, my friend Renee and I took our kids to see Monsters Vs. Aliens!!! It was a cute movie so if you get a chance take your kiddos!!!!

Weekend in Burnet with Papa and Lita!

2009-03-28T17:26:00.008-06:00

2009-03-25T08:36:00.003-06:00

Mom(Kissy) we hope you have a wonderful 50th B-Day today! We love you!

March update!

2009-03-17T10:21:00.009-06:00

March has gone by way to fast! On the 11th Walker turned 8 months! He has two teeth and crawling or dragging himself all over the house. He is ready to stand up and run all over the house with Wyatt. Wyatt is being such a sweet big brother and letting Walker play with his toys. They both are growing up way to fast. Since the weather has been so great, Wyatt's friend Jackson has came over to play. They both love being outside playing. Some days it is so hot Wyatt gets to play in water sprinkler. When he sees us pulling the water hose out the look on his face is so funny because he is so excited. He wants to play in the water everyday even if it is a little chilly out.

Last weekend Blake and I got a little break to hand out and do some house work. We met Nana and Pappy in Dallas and they kept the boys for the weekend. I think we are getting spoiled! I admit I should have done more around the house but it was so nice to be lazy! We want to thank yall again!

This coming weekend we are headed to Burnett to visit Big Papa, Lita, and Aunt Daniella. It is going to be a fun filled family weekend and we cant wait to get there. Blake's brothers and their wives are also coming up for the weekend. The men are looking forward to playing golf and the women I hope are going shopping! We are so ready so see everyone. I know I will have lots of pictures to post when we get home! Have a great weekend everyone!

P.S. Blake is hoping Wyatt will be the next Tiger Woods! He is already working with him but Wyatt doesn't seem that interested in golf. He just likes throwing and chasing the golf balls! LOL!

One of these days maybe I will get a good picture of them together! LOL!

Walker is 8 months!

80 degrees in March! Wyatt was happy he got to play in the water!

Jackson and Wyatt had a great time playing outside.

Blake teaching Wyatt how to putt.

But all Wyatt wants to do is chase and throw the ball. LOL!

A little late!!! Pics from our trips to Abilene!

2009-03-12T08:38:00.006-06:00

I know it is March but I'm posting pictures from our trips to Abilene in February! I'm always behind!

Nathan and Marsha hosted a Birthday party for Nathan and Papa at their house. Nathan and Papa are Blake's brother and grandfather and they share the same Birthday February 6th. We had a wonderful time with Blake's family and Marsha's family. I was excited because Blake's cousin Bridget and husband Jeff came with their new baby Jeatn. It was our first time meeting him!

Wyatt and Walker went home for the night with Nana and Pappy and Blake and I stayed in Abilene with Nathan and Marsha. Marsha's twin sister Nancy also stayed the night so we had a girls night. We went and watched a movie while Blake and Nathan Had some one on one brother time. We stayed up late and slept in and it was so much fun!

Then the next weekend we met Nana and Pappy in Mesquite and they took the boys home to Ballinger for the weekend. It was our first time to ever let the boys go stay the weekend anywhere. We were sad to see them go but Blake and I had a wonderful time being alone! Thank you so much Jana and John T. for watching the boys. Blake and I decided to go meet Jana and John T. and Nathan and Marsha house to get the boys because Henley had her puppies. They were so cute and tiny!

I hope soon I will catch up with my posting on what has been going on in March! I added lots of pics from Abilene!

Wyatt, Blake, Walker, Bridget, and Jaetn

Walker kept pulling Jaetn's ear! Sorry!!!

2nd Cousins! Wyatt, Jaetn, and Walker

PUPPIES!

2009-02-18T21:16:00.002-06:00

I'm posting these pictures so my parents and Uncle Neal and Aunt Terry can see their new puppies with the boys! Blake's brother Nathan and wife Marsha have a Beagle named Henley who just had a liter or puppies. Blake's mom kept the boys for the weekend. We decided to meet in Abilene at Nathan and Marsha's house to get the boys because we really wanted to see the puppies. I took some pictures for my parents and uncle and aunt. They are so adorable!

Mom your puppy is on the left and Aunt Terry yours is on the right.

Wyatt giving the puppy kisses!

They are so cute!

Walker is 7 months old! Playing in the mud and Bathtime!

2009-02-10T11:45:00.007-06:00

I don't have a lot of time to write! I'm a day late but yesterday Walker turned 7 months old. On the fist of February his first tooth broke through! YEA! He is changing everyday. The other day before the big storms hit East Texas Wyatt got to play outside. He loves playing in the mud! Now for all of the pictures! LOL!

I cant believe he is already 7 months!

Birthday party, play date, and boys sick

2009-01-31T00:48:00.006-06:00

This past month in general!

On January 11th Walker turned 6 months old. I cant believe he is growing up so fast. Walker is trying to cut teeth but still not a one has broken through. I is rolling everywhere and is starting to scoot. He can sit up on his own and is loving his ExerSaucer. He is talking a lot more and now is spitting. Spitting has became a game between Wyatt and Walker. They are playing so well with each other and laugh all day at one another. I hope that will continue while they grow up!!!!

We went to my home town of Sulphur Springs for Addi's birthday day party at the skating ring. We weren't sure if they would have skates in Wyatt's size but they did and he had a great time. Blake went out on the floor with him and was thankful they didn't make him wear skates. It was so good catching up with old friends.

Most of this past month the boys have been sick. I wish the weather would make it's mind up and either cold or hot! Every time the weather changes Wyatt and Walker both get sick. We are having to do breathing treatments on both of the boys. Walker is still so good and mostly sleeps through his treatment. Wyatt is becoming independent and wants to do his treatment all by himself. He wants to sit in daddy's recliner and hold his own mask. He is becoming a big boy way to fast!

Blake and I have finally moved Wyatt out of his baby crib into his big boy bed. Blake's mom sent us a baby rail by UPS so we had no more excuses anymore! Which means we moved Walker from the pack-n-play in our room to the baby crib. I have to admit it is nice being alone again. We can watch TV again and talk as loud as we want and not worry about waking up Walker. Since we have a three bedroom house we decided to put the boys in the same room. While they are little they will share a room so we can keep our guest room for a little bit longer.

The boys and I also went and spent a night with Memaw and Pappy. We had fun hanging out and watching TV. Pappy still cant talk very well after his stint was put in his neck but hopefully his voice will recover soon! It seems like every time we go to their house we have to make a trip to Wal-Mart! I always forget things and never bring enough diapers. Pappy took Wyatt and I to Wal-Mart and loaded us up on diapers and wipes. Thank you Memaw and Pappy for everything you do for our family!

I cant believe that January is already over. Where does the time go?

Wyatt was getting cabin fever so we let him play for a little while outside. He was so mad when he had to come in but he just doesn't understand it will make him sicker. Poor baby!

He could finally breath and pasted out right after his treatment.

Kelly and Addy also came to visit us. Wyatt was really ready for them to stop crying!

They are a month apart. Walker July 11th and Addy August 11th

Long Christmas Post!

2009-01-07T20:43:00.022-06:00

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year! I cant believe this year has gone by so fast. The years seem to fly by when you have children. We had fun going to our families houses for Christmas but glad to be home and no more traveling for awhile. It was Wyatt's second Christmas and Walker's first and we want thank everyone for all of their gifts! We were tired from all the traveling so we decided to stay home for New Years and celebrate with just our family. Sadly none of us made it to Midnight. I know we are getting old. New Years day our old friends Josh, Valerie, and their two daughter Katherine and Lauren came over to visit. It was so good to see them and I forgot to take pictures! We will have to do it next time and I hope we get to see them soon.

I have been debating on how I was going to do my Christmas blog. I thought about doing 3 different posting for each family. That was my plan at first but I was afraid I would do one or two posting and never get to the third one or never get to the second one. I get busy with the boys and don't have time to wait for our pictures to download. (Jan. 14th we finally are getting DSL! Living in the country has its downfalls.) I didn't want to upset anyone so I'm doing them all on this posting just in case I couldn't get back on the computer for awhile!

Be ready for lots of pictures! Since I'm posting so many pictures I'm not going to explain all of them. Sorry!

The weekend before Christmas we headed to Austin for Blake's dad side of the family Christmas. Friday Blake's cousin, Justin, got married to his High School sweet heart, Karisa. We arrived Friday night in Austin just in time for the wedding. I wish I got some pictures but our boys were not in great modes that evening. Walker cried half way there and they both were teething and fussy. We got to see Karisa walk down the isle and then they both wanted to talk! LOL! Blake and I spent the rest of the wedding outside but glad we were there. Saturday we had the Smith Christmas at Uncle Gary and Aunt Judy's house. We had a great time and now for the start of lots of pictures.

We had to leave Austin early for my family's Christmas Sunday in Tyler. We were so excited because Kaylee, Connor, Tripp, Thatcher, and new baby on the way got to come this year! We don't get to see them every Christmas because they rotate between Texas, Idaho, and Boston. It was so much fun to have all the cousins together. While they were in town we my parents rented a 15 passenger van so we could all ride together. We went to Lindale and drove through big Christmas lights. After that we went to eat at Mercados. Since Kaylee is pregnant she had cravings for Mercados and Jason Deli. We celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve because Kaylee and family had to leave Christmas day. We were sad for them to leave but knew they were ready to be home and Connor had to get back to work. Now for more pictures!

Last but not least we went to Ballinger for Blake's mom's Christmas. While we were there Blake and I went to the movies. We wanted to see Marley and Me but it was sold out so we watched Four Christmases. His mom watched the boys so we could celebrate our 8 YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY! Man time sure does fly by! Friday afternoon we went to Abilene and ate dinner with Blake's baby brother Nathan and his wife Marsha. Nathan had to go back to work so Marsha and I went shopping while Blake went and hanged out with his best friend Heath. They don't get to see each other a lot so they had well needed guy time! Saturday we ate dinner and Christmas. Sunday we went to church and Blake's middle brother Ryan was the guest the preacher. We were happy the boys were perfect during church. After church, we had lunch with Mama, Papa, and Aunt Lissy and headed back to Tyler.

2008-12-16T18:43:00.007-06:00

I can't believe that Christmas is almost here. Wyatt still isn't to the age to understand what Christmas is all about but he is enjoying all the lights. It is Walker first Christmas!!! Last year I forgot to take Wyatt to get his picture with Santa. I know I'm a bad mommy. We took the boys tonight to get their picture taken with Santa. We thought Wyatt might get scared but he did great. Walker did good but all he wanted to do was pull on Santa's beard. Walker pulls on daddy's beard so he thought it was okay to pull on Santa. I wish we could have gotten a better picture but that is how it goes.

I'm busy trying to get my house cleaned because my sister Kaylee and her family will be getting here Friday night and they are staying at our house. My mom and dad are hosting the East Texas Jeep Club party at their house Saturday since my dad is the President of the Club. So they are staying here so Kaylee doesn't have to worry about the boys messing up my mom house. To many decorations to touch! We actually wont be here because we are going to Austin for Blake's cousin wedding Friday night. Then Saturday we have Blake's Dad Christmas in Austin. We will drive back Saturday night and get up Sunday to have my family's Christmas Sunday afternoon. We will be tired but we are looking forward to seeing everyone. Then the next weekend we are heading to Ballinger to have Blake's mom Christmas and then a NEW YEAR starts. Time is going bye way to fast!

Since we haven't bought a single gift, we tried going tonight. We bought one gift then Wyatt was through with shopping. He wanted to pull everything off the shelves. What were we thinking trying to shop with two little ones? Blake has decided he doesn't have to go and he will stay with the boys so I can do the shopping. He has a great excuse now.

I almost forgot. Walker turned 5 months on the 11th. He is getting so big. I added some pictures we have taken in the last month. Enjoy!

Picture with Santa

Blake told me I never take pictures with the boys so I had to take one. I hate taking pictures.

Walker 5 months old! Thank you Nana for my new outfit!

Could he be any cuter?

Walker's first Christmas picture. We took about a hundred and finally got one of him smiling!

Merry Christmas from Wyatt, Walker, and Whiskey. Whiskey is Blake's American Bulldog which I consider his 3rd son.

This is what happens when we take to long taking their pictures.

Wyatt was tired and wanted to lay down for his picture.

My mom spent all day putting her Christmas decorations up and Walker and I wanted to go see her house. We bundled him up before we left because it is getting cold here. He looks so cute in this outfit. Thank you Jackson for handing it down to me!

Thank you Aunt Kaylee for making me a new beanie.

He falls asleep in his rocking chair all the time. It is so cute.

Wyatt loves wearing hats. He puts them on mommy, daddy, and bubba.

Wyatt put Blake's boots on all by himself. He is so funny.

He started to walk in daddy's boots and fell and busted his chin. My poor Wyatt!

Walker and I went and ate with my friend Kelley and her little girl Addi. I only got one picture then my camera died.

4 Months old and visitors

2008-11-13T16:40:00.028-06:00

I CANT BELIEVE I'VE POSTED THIS MANY BLOGS LATELY! CRAZY!

Our little Walker is getting so big. He turned 4 months on the 11th. They grow up so fast and soon he will be walking. Where does the time go!

Blake and I were excited this week because we got two date nights! Saturday Catlin and Mase watched the boys. We went and ate Outback which is always wonderful. Then we ended our night Starbucks. Tuesday night my mom watched the boys so we could go to the movies. We watched Role Models. It was funny but is rated R for a reason! It was really dirty so just wanted to warn everyone! If your looking for a family show go see Madagascar. Blake, mom, and I took the boys and it was so cute. We give the movie A+. We had to move to the front role so Wyatt could watch and move around. Overall both boys did great. Wish I would have taken the camera to the movies. After the show was over Wyatt danced to the music and even did his own moonwalk. He was the show after the show.

We also had some visitors this week. Lita had a doctors appointment in Tyler so they got to visit with the boys. After her appointment we met at Chili's then they headed home. We had a good time! Jackson and Jenny also came back out for the day Monday. We tried our best to get a good picture of all three of the boys. I added pictures below so you can see how it went. LOL!

PICTURES FOR PAPPY! Pappy I added to pictures of Wyatt's hair just for you! Let me explain to everyone. When Pappy was growing up everyone called him Porcupine because his hair stood up in the back. Now that Wyatt is getting more hair his is starting to sit up. I did my best to get pictures of his hair but it kinda blended in with the background. We now have a Porcupine Junior in the family!

I love his smile!

The only picture we got all sitting and looking the same way.

And here they go! LOL!

Last of the Halloween pics and more.

2008-11-07T21:14:00.023-06:00

As I said in a previous post, we had planned to take the boys to Sulphur Springs on Halloween for a hay ride and other fun stuff. Unfortunately, Walker had to go to the doctor earlier in the week, and had to be put on a breathing machine a few times a day. He's actually been doing very good with the machine. Instead, we took Wyatt with Chase, Jenny, and Jackson back to the Pumpkin Patch one more time while Kissy watched Walker. Wyatt had a great time, but he was in another one of his independent moods. We seem to be having a lot of those these days. Later that evening we went over to Michael and Amber's house where Wyatt helped pass out candy. He did really good handing kids the candy and telling them thank you except for the time he threw a piece at a kid and hit him in the head. Oops!

Saturday we went to Sulphur Springs to visit Memaw and Pappy and take Walker to meet Aunt Melba. Memaw had a home cooked lunch ready which was wonderful! The boys had a great time visiting. We also went to Mt. Vernon later that day to pick up some furniture. My Uncle Robby and Aunt Carmen were moving out of their ranch house and into their lake house. So, we inherited a bunch of furniture which is helping to change up our house a little bit. Right now we're a little cramped in the house, but we are going to take some of it to my sister's house in New Mexico when we go down there for Thanksgiving. We ended up staying in Mt. Vernon at my Uncle Kreg and Aunt Coni house. Wyatt and Walker had fun playing with their cousins Colby and Carsyn. Hope you enjoy the pics, and we'll definitely have some more coming of our trip to New Mexico if not sooner.

Aunt Melba meeting Walker for the first time.

Wyatt wanted to mess with everything in Aunt Melba's room. So he got sit in Pappy's lap and eat a sucker.

Walker hanging out with Uncle Robby while we finished loading furniture.

We stayed the night with cousin Carsyn. They chilled out in the bed watching Dora. Tried to get Wyatt in the bed for the picture but he was to busy watching UT lose to Tech. Still cant believe that!

Happy Halloween!

Last time at Pumpkin Patch!

This time Jackson got to go with us.

Wyatt tripped over one pumpkin and face planted into another one. He cried for a sec then back to playing.

Moving the pumpkin that hurt him! If you look closely, you can see blood on Wyatt's mouth and a little on his forehead.

They are tired, hot, hungry, and ready to leave.

Mase came by to visit and he was driving one of my dad's jeeps. Amber wanted to see if she could see over the steering wheel. I made them pose for a picture.

Jenny and Jackson came over so the boys could play.

Pictures for the Grandparents and Great Grandparents!

2008-10-27T23:27:00.012-06:00

Sunday night after worship our church (West Erwin COC) had their 16th annual Fall Festival. Blake, Uncle Mase, and I were so excited to enjoy the fun with the boys. Walker was a horse and Wyatt was his handler. My mom got Wyatt a horse outfit but it was just too big. Instead, Wyatt wore an outfit from many different places. Nana and Pappy sent Wyatt the guns and holsters that have their hometown of Ballinger stamped on one holster and Texas stamped on the other. G-Daddy got him his marshall star on their way to New Mexico. And Kissy got his pearl snap shirt while shopping for clothes with Uncle Mase. So Blake said Wyatt was dressed as Clint Eastwood and Uncle Mase said Wyatt was dressed like John Wayne. Either way Wyatt was the cutest 18 month old there! Walker did great but got tired during all of the festivities. My parents are out of town so the Cooks were the fill in grandparents. Mrs. Cook was so happy because she got to hold Walker. THANK YOU COOK FAMILY! We had a blast and cant wait till next year.

Blake and I have been debating on if we are going to take the boys trick or treating. We didn't take Wyatt last year and still think he might be a little to young. My best friend Brooke from grade school called and invited us their family hay ride and party Friday night. Friday night we will head to my home town Sulphur Springs. We are excited to stay with Memaw and Pappy while we are in town. Before we go to Brooke's grandparents, we are going to take Wyatt trick or treating in my grandparents neighborhood. We cant wait to go!

To the Grandparents and Great Grandparents more pictures of the boys! I know I have posted a lot of pictures lately but we don't want yall to miss out on anything! More pictures to come after this weekend!

Wyatt got these glasses Sunday night at the party and didn't want to put them down. He plays with them all day long. He takes them on and off and laughs at himself. He is so funny!

They are too cute!

Some pictures of Walker.

At the Pumpkin Patch again and random pictures

2008-10-25T17:12:00.017-06:00

We decided to take the boys back to Pappy's Pumpkin Patch. Wyatt wasn't in the greatest of moods last time we went, so we decided to give it another try. Unfortunately, the batteries in our camera died just a few pictures into it. We brought along spares, but they were no good either. We posted what few pictures we were able to take. We also posted some pictures of the last few weeks around here. Time is just flying. Wyatt just turned 18 months on the 23rd and Walker is already over 3 months old. Tonight at church we have the fall festival. Walker is going to be a little horse and Wyatt is going to be a Texas Ranger. I'm sure they'll have a great time. We will definitely take our camera with fresh batteries. So be looking out for a new post with those pictures shortly!

I love this picture. Wyatt helping his daddy!

When I got pregnant with Wyatt we went ahead and started leaving Whiskey outside. Now that Wyatt is getting older he plays outside all day with Whiskey then he wants him to come inside and play with him too. The other night Wyatt and Blake bathed Whiskey and now he has moved back into the house. I know Whiskey is happy but might be rethinking it because Wyatt will not leave him alone! He wants to sit on him all the time! POOR WHISKEY!

It's starting to get cold in East Texas so thank you Aunt Kaylee for making my warm beanie!

Walker is learning to roll over! He is growing up too fast!

I try to get as many pictures as I can of the boys together. I think Wyatt is already getting tired of it! LOL!

Jackson came to the house the other day to play with Wyatt.

PUMPKIN PATCH

2008-10-19T02:35:00.001-06:00

This afternoon Blake and I took the boys to Pappy's Pumpkin Patch. They had a lot of fun activities for the kids. Wyatt is still a little to young for the rides. He had lots of fun playing in the hay and running around. Walker was a trooper. He is so laid back and both of the boys love to be outside. We did our best to get pictures of Wyatt. In most of the pictures Wyatt is running away from the camera but Walker did great!

Weekend with Nathan and Marsha

2008-10-19T02:30:00.010-06:00

A couple of weekends ago Nathan and Marsha came to visit us and the boys. Nathan is Blake's baby brother. Wyatt and Walker were so excited to spend time with their Aunt and Uncle. We had a great weekend just hanging out and being together. We did get out and go to Fire Mountain. Wyatt had a blast playing games and riding the cart with Uncle Nate. We enjoyed the visit and hope yall can come again soon!

2008-08-29T11:45:00.009-06:00

It has been a long time but finally I'm adding some new pictures! We have great news our second baby boy was born July 11th(on my b-day!). Walker Zayne Smith was 6lbs 1.4oz and 18in. I had to have an emergency c-section because his heart rate dropped to the low 50s. We had wonderful doctors and nurses and they had him out in 15 minutes. The doctor said Walker was in shock but after getting some oxygen he was fine and healthy. I had problems nursing Wyatt but Walker is doing wonderful! He has already gained 4 pounds!

Wyatt loves having a little brother. He can say Walker but calls him baby. It is so cute. He wants to hold him and give him kisses all day long. Since my last post, Wyatt turned 1. I cant believe how fast they grow. He is in the 95% for his weight and height. He is going to be a big boy like his daddy!

Now some pictures of Wyatt and Walker!

More pictures to come when I get more free time!

Well, as you can tell I'm not the greatest blogger. I always get on every one's blog and get caught up reading and looking at all the pictures. By that time I don't have time to write. Wyatt is taking a nap so I have a little time to tell yall what has been going on. I'm just going to make a list. I not the best writer so bear with me!

First of all Blake and I are expecting again! Our little bundle of joy is due July 22ND. Everyone keeps telling me we need to make it one more day the 23rd because Tripp , Wyatt and Thatcher were all born on the 23rd of different months. We don't know the sex yet but do know the name. Boy or girl the name is going to be Walker. Kaylee and I were both adopted by our step father so Walker is now my maiden name. We have not yet agreed on the middle names! We will be excited boy or girl because we have decided to only have 2 children.

UPDATES ON WYATT!!!!
He started to crawl on December 6Th. Wyatt and I went to my parent's house that day to see my Memaw and Pappy. We were in my mom's room and Wyatt was playing on the floor and then started to crawl. My mom, Memaw, and Pappy started to clap and I know Wyatt thought we were crazy. Now he is going everywhere. When we were a Blake's mom house, Wyatt stated pulling himself up on all the furniture. By the time we left he had it down. It is so cute now to get him from his crib because he standing up waiting on you with a big smile! He is just so cute with those big brown eyes and long eyelashes. Soon he will be walking and running!

A couple of weeks ago my mom, Wyatt and I went to New Mexico to take Christmas Kaylee, Connor, Tripp and Thatcher. Even though it was a fast trip we had a great time. Wyatt did excellent on the ride there and back. He is just a happy baby and so never cries unless he is hungry or teething. He smiles none stop and people just have to stop and ask us if he is always this happy.

Wyatt had a wonderful first Christmas. We had Christmas with my family the weekend before Christmas. Then we headed to Blake's family in his home town of Ballinger. We were able to stay for a week so his family got allot of time with Wyatt. Blake's mom and both sets of his grandparents live there so we split our time with everyone. They all did way to much for Wyatt and we are so thankful. When we left the entire truck bed was loaded full with no more room! Thank you again everyone!

My cousin Justin got married on November 2ND in my parents back yard. It was so pretty and lots of fun. Kaylee and the family and their friend were able to come. They all stayed with us and our house was full but so much fun. It was my first time to hold Thatcher and he is so precious. Tripp was walking and running everywhere. Wyatt just couldn't stand not to be running around with him.

That is about all that has been going on. I have lots of pictures to post and hope they download fast. Sometimes the Internet is fast but sometimes it wont let me add pics so if they are not there sorry!

What A Week!

Sorry we haven't posted anything recently. We're finally getting somewhat back to normal here. On Sunday before last, my aunt came down to stay with us because she had a doctor's appointment on Monday morning. Starting about 1:00 Monday morning, my cousin began throwing up and continued for the rest of the time they were here. We were hoping we wouldn't get it, but we weren't that lucky. Wyatt began throwing up Tuesday night. Blake got it Wednesday night, and I got sick Thursday. We had to take Wyatt to the ER on Friday because he wasn't getting any better. Finally, his Dr. gave him some antibiotics on Monday because he had a bacterial infection. Luckily, Blake and I got over it within a couple of days. Wyatt's now eating normal and seemingly feeling better. Hopefully this is the end of all of this. I hope everyone is doing well. Here's some more pics that we haven't had time to put up lately.

He is not very happy because we had to wake him up to take his picture. It is about 11:30 at night and we forgot to take his picture earlier.

First time in his highchair and he did great!

Could they be any cuter?

He is here!!!!!!!!!

Connor, Kaylee and Tripp welcomed little Benjamin Thatcher Bryan to their family this morning. He was born at 10:13am and was 7lbs and 5oz. At this time, I don't know his length. Kaylee and Thatcher are doing good! My parents were on the way but didn't make it in time. Thatcher was ready to be here. Tripp was born on May 23rd, Wyatt was born on April 23rd and now Thatcher is born on September 23rd. Blake and I are now under a lot of stress to have our next baby on the 23rd! LOL! I hope Connor can get pictures up on their blog soon!

Sorry it's been a while since I've posted anything. Kaylee called and demanded that I put up pictures of her nephew before he's grown up. Nothing too excited is going on here. Wyatt has discovered his loud voice now! This was very evident at our cousin Jeff's wedding this past weekend. Wyatt was great until the ceremony started, and then he decided the whole congregation needed to know what was on his mind. Blake had to go outsided with him the whole time. We've also got into fishing now. Wyatt loves it outside, so this makes for a great combination. It also helps that we have a nice pond stocked with lots of fish on our property. Also, this past week, our friends Chase and Jenny had a little baby boy, Jackson Hunter Redding. As you can see, he was born with quite a head of hair. We're pretty sure him and Wyatt are going to be good hunting partners for Blake and Chase. We'll continue posting new pictures as we get them. I'm sure the next ones will have Wyatt crawling nonstop and keeping Mom and Dad plenty busy!

Kissy, Wyatt, and G Daddy at Jeff's Wedding

Wyatt went fishing with Daddy!

Kaylee the outfit Wyatt has on is called Taggie. If you decided to name him Taggert and call him Tag, we will have to go buy this brand of clothes.

I wish he was looking straight but what can you do!

Our weekend at the Lake!

2007-09-04T09:14:00.000-06:00

We went to the lake with my family for Labor Day Weekend. It was so good to see everyone just wish Kaylee and family and my parents could have been there. Wyatt had a great time but is glad to be home in his bed. We also celebrated Taylor's birthday. She had a lot to tell everyone because she started the 1st grade and loves it! Hope everyone had a good Labor Day Weekend. I have added lots of pictures of the weekend.

Today my best friend since grade school and her family came to visit us. Brooke and her husband have a daughter Addison and they are due January 10th. They are 90% sure it is going to be a boy! Wyatt and Addi were so excited to go swimming. We went to my parents house so the kids could swim and we could use their outdoor kitchen. While we were cooking we watched the cowboys lose to the Houston Texans! Blake was not very happy. I added lots of pictures!

Yes it was!

He is so cute in his swim trunks!

First time for Wyatt to be in Mr. Crab, and he loved it!

Crazy month for the Smith house and more Pics

Today has started a crazy month ahead. First of all, Wyatt turned 4 months today and is growing up too fast! Also, my parents left for Canada. They will be there a little over a week and then from there they fly to Montana for a week. They get home for a day then head to Hawaii. While they are gone, we are watching my little brother. Mase is really not little anymore. He is taller than me and will be 16 this November. Man he makes me feel old! On top of this Blake has started back to college this week! I'm so excited for him. He has been wanting to go back forever. He is going to Tyler Junior College this year and will have his Associates degree. Then he will be transferring to UT Tyler and get his Bachelor's in Engineering. He not sure what field in Engineering but has a little bit to decided. These next couple of years are going to be busy for us but we are excited for the outcome! On to top of all of this, Wyatt has starting teething earlier than expected. He rotates every other day with good and bad days. This is a good day, thank goodness! Those bad days we just go with the flow, calling him frequently "Psycho Wyatt".

I'm 4 months old today!

Update on Kaylee!

2007-08-23T09:36:00.000-06:00

Kaylee's contractions have stopped and she is doing fine. I told my parents the reason Kaylee is doing this is because they are going on vacation. I was induced the day my parents were suppose to fly to Italy. My dad's business (East Texas Copy Systems) was the top sales for Canon in his region and they gave him a free trip, but they missed it to be here when Wyatt was born. I told them to go but they just couldn't miss their 2ND grandson entering the world. So, maybe (Taggert) will wait for them to get back home and it is looking that way. Thanks so much for the prayers!

Please pray for Kaylee!

My sister Kaylee is 33 weeks pregnant and is having contractions. Her doctor wants her to make it to aleast 36 weeks and believes she will not go into early labor. We hope that that is how it happens but you just never know. Kaylee is doing fine just in pain when gets her contractions because they are lasting awhile. If Kaylee goes into labor within these next two weeks, she will have to be transfered to El Paso. We are praying that does not happen because her doctor will not be the one delivering (Taggert, (maybe the name!)). Please keep her and Connor in your prayers! Thanks!

Kaylee set up my blog along time ago but I'm just now getting around keeping up with posting. I also added some pics of his room. My memaw made Wyatt's baby quilt for his crib and the bumper pad. Also she made the twin quilt on his big boy bed. The denim in the quilt is from jeans from my 3 uncles, memaw, pappy, and Blake. At christmas everyone signed the quilt. The quilt with Wyatt's name on it was made by Blake's mom and aunt. We decided to make his room all original.

Baby Shower!

My my and I threw a baby shower for my Jenny Redding. She is due September 7th but I dont think she will make it that long. She is having a boy (Jackson Hunter). I cant wait till he gets here and the boys can play! Wyatt came to the shower and stole the show but Jenny was ok with it. Here are a few pics from the baby shower.

Weekend with Blake's family

2007-08-18T19:47:00.000-06:00

Last weekend Blake, Wyatt, and I travled to Ballinger, Texas to visit Blake's family. Ballinger is about 56 miles southwest of Abilene which was a 6 hour drive for us. Wyatt is very good on car rides and slept most of the way. Blake's baby brothers also came to town and had a great time with Wyatt. Blake's mom watched Wyatt Saturday so we could go to San Angelo on a date. We haven't been to a movie since Wyatt was born. We were blessed the whole weekend because they haven't spent alot of time with Wyatt and didn't want to put him down. It was a great break for Blake and I!
