22 weeks

Enjoying the ending weeks of the second trimester.

Starting to have some lower back pain- yuck.

Had a great name picked, and now there are a couple more I am liking. How to decide?

Angus, you are not quite 1 pound.

I want some chicken enchiladas. I don't want to make them. I tried some vegetarian ones today. Still crave the chicken ones. Soon.

Guess who photo bombed me??? Stinkers!

20 weeks and 23 months!!!

Half way there with my last pregnancy!

Hard to believe at times.

I bought a super cute little newborn outfit today and I still can't believe a tiny baby from inside me will wear that and be in my arms.

11 lbs gained- feeling good and craving a tuna sandwich.

On to our princess! Ohana you are 23 months old.

Full of joy and happiness. Starting to notice what you wear and have opinions about it.

You can count to 10 in English and Spanish.

You love to draw little and big circles on paper over and over.

So many teeth and bright blue eyes.

Only wearing 18 month clothes.

You are talking in so many 3 and 4 word sentences. Amazing.

You also have a unique way of copying the tone of what is being expressed to you.

You love to notice new things and pronounce "look at that!"

You are loving other little babies and will be a great little/big sister.

Ten on Ten-- It's a BOY edition!!!

Starting 2012 off with my 10 on 10 goal. Capturing the beauty in everyday life

This is a special edition because we know the gender of our third baby due June 5th.

Better than a Keurig because you can use any coffee and don't have to buy those expensive k-cups.

Morning reading but finally not on mommy's lap.

The ultrasound tech gave each child their own photo of their new sibling.

So excited to meet our newest little man- only 21 more weeks!

avocado treat with my lunch.

She's really getting the hang of this and basically training herself.

Multipurpose truck.

Creativity.

Checking the weather for our upcoming late anniversary-baby moon trip next month.

Dessert in our house.

18 Weeks- take 2

In trying to keep track of my third baby bump, I'm going to try to do something a little extra for baby #3 that Boyd has lovingly nicknamed "angus". We find out gender next Monday so it will be quite funny if the baby is a girl.

Baby you are 18 weeks growing and I can feel you move. This week I have craved popcorn and sweet popcorn balls. You are the length of a bell pepper and your ears are now distinctly separated from your head. I have gained 10lbs so far and am most comfortable wearing leggings and dresses which can be difficult on cold days.

Happy New Year 2012

Doing a little reflecting of 2011 the Smiley Family has gone through another year of transitions.

Some easier than others. We are so thankful for all our friends and family both old and new.

We are amazed and grateful for the new job Boyd has- getting back his career of choice.

Moving to another city and making new friends has proven a challenge, but again, we are hopeful for what is to come for our family in 2012.

My resolution is simple.

Be Joyful and Give Thanks!

These 2 make it all worth it everyday

Starting the belly watch, a little late- 18 weeks here

December crafts- fabric rosettes and bib necklaces

Rosette bracelet

Purple for my sister

Bold and white for my Mom- will she actually wear it anywhere?

So here's to joy in the journey in 2012!!!!!!

Our Christmas fun 2011

Having family in town for Christmas is the BEST!!!

Ohana in blankie bliss- thanks Auntie Shel!

Construction blanket went straight to his big boy bed!

Happy Birthday Jesus- we are so blessed and thankful!!!!!

Ohana is 22 months!

Ohana you are becoming such a little person.

You grow and learn each day.

You can now say all your ABC's with just a couple of errors.

You can sing twinkle twinkle with only a couple of errors too.

You can count to 10 but for 6,7 you say "second" which is precious.

When we ask you "why"? you say "because", plain and simple.

You can climb in the bathroom cabinets to turn on the water and brush your teeth.

You love horses and farm animals.

You name baby Jesus in the Nativity.

You name mu jewelry daily and are disappointed when I'm not wearing earrings.

You can put a shirt on by yourself.

You are full of joy and hugs and kisses.

This is your "big eyes" face

Showing all your teeth- getting 2 more right now

You love Piper and hug her every day

You are so funny and make everyday bright.

You love candy and food in general.

Sometimes you change your shoes 2 times a day which is funny now, but trouble for your teen years;)

WE LOVE YOU OHANA ISABELLA!!!!!!!!!
