Granny Ley came for an afternoon visit with the boys!
My adorable nephew Adam..he is growing up so fast
Great memories with Granny
Tyler is teaching Adam all he needs to know about Big Trucks
Aunt Caryl came to visit too..she showed up with M&M's...instant hit!

My sis came for a great visit this week, despite a temporary outage with the a/c it turned out to be a great week. The boys got along great and Tyler was good at sharing his toys. Adam got to sleep in Chase's crib which was nice, the boys both slept great which made for happy campers. Sis and I had enjoyed catching up and seeing all our family.

Have a great weekend!

Tyler and Papa Ray at Five Guys Burgers in Suwanee...yummy!

How fun is this!
Night out with our neighbors watching a "driveway" movie. My neighbor projects it up on his garage door..the kids and parents have a ball!

Have a great weekend!

Pregnancy is going well, almost 27 weeks!

Chase is busy, you can see him moving now by looking at my tummy. Tyler seems to be "getting it" a little although it will definitely take Chase arriving before he fully understands. He woke up yesterday saying " I am too big for Chase's bed!" and he will tell you that Chase is coming in November once he is finished growing. Very cute.

Smith's are doing great, hope you all are too!

We had a great "date night" with Tyler. Our destination was to find any and all construction equipment we could. We were fortunate to find some dump trucks and other exciting trucks along the way. We finished with ice cream at Carvel:) Tyler loved it! After every stop, he would say "bye bye Back hoe" or "bye bye dump truck"! He calls this BIG FUN!
Enjoy the pics.

Tyler and Nana heading out to the garden...
Tyler has his own cherry tomato plant...how fun!
Nana helps me pick some too:)
Just a few new pictures...Tyler has a blast at his Nana and Papa's house, he loves the garden!

Have a great weekend...Love, Colin

Does it get any cuter!!!

First Pony Ride...
Today was a great day, it is Eric's 34th birthday! We started the morning at our favorite bagel/muffin shop and then went to the gym. The afternoon we spent at the CURE Childhood Cancer Family Picnic and Tyler had a blast! After a good nap, Tyler woke up to his Papa Mike to play with while mommy and daddy went out for the night. We had a great time! We came home to find Papa Mike and Tyler sound asleep in Tyler's big boy bed! I would have taken a picture but I learned early on my dad does not like to be startled when asleep:) Too sweet...good night...love, Colin

Tyler and I took a short trip to Blue Ridge to see my dad and Tyler caught his first fish in the back yard of our cabin. He had a blast throwing rocks in Big Creek and playing with his Papa Mike.

Update on Baby Boy Chase....
All is going so well with our pregnancy. Chase is now about 15 ounces and is growing perfectly! We had our 22 week ultrasound last week with my high risk doctor and did all his measurements and all was right on track. We saw all his fingers and toes and got some great pictures. I am feeling him move alot now more at night time which is how I felt with Ty. I am definitely looking pregnant now, it's amazing how much faster this time than with Ty. We go back to the doctor in a month right before we head off to Hawaii for my friend Katie's wedding...we will update more on Chase after the next appointment, we should have 4D pics then too!
Love, The Smith's

Happy Days with Papa Mike!!!
My sweet boy!
Sunday fun!!!
Today after church, we pulled out the big boy pool and Ty had a ball. He splashed and jumped for hours...he is well into a great nap now:)

My Slideshow 6/30/07 ...Click on the link to view our trip to Hilton Head celebrating the big 30!

I am trying to get this figured out, if anyone knows how to get it directly on the blog..please help! In the meantime, enjoy the slideshow...Love, Colin, Eric and Ty

Here is a profile picture from our ultraound last week...Head to the Right and Body to the Left. What a face!!!!
We are off to the pool, just thought I would post a few pictures for you:) Love, Colin

Trucks and Trains it is....It's A Boy!!!!!!
We found out today we will be welcoming baby boy Chase into the world come November. I am now 17 weeks and everything is perfect. The baby weighs 8 ounces at this point (about the size of a juice box) and has all 10 fingers and 10 toes! It's truly amazing what you can see this early...Oh..his name, we had 2 boy names picked out before we had Ty so this was easy...Chase it is...middle name TBD. Love to all..Love, Colin & Eric and Big Brother to be Tyler.

Our summer is off to a great start, we are enjoying the pool daily when I am not working and loving the beautiful weather. We went to Hilton Head over Memorial day weekend and Tyler had a ball. We will post pics tonight.

Don't forget to wish the nurses you know a very Happy Nurse's Week!!!!!

Lauren's Run 2007: A benefit run for CURE Childhood Cancer. Tyler, Eric and I went to volunteer.
The speedy guy in the red shorts is Tyler..he took OFF during the "tot trot". He passed the finish line and just kept running! Eric had to chase after him:)
Some of my fellow childhood cancer nurses...Lisa, Allison, Me and Rebecca
Smith family:)

It's official..we are now 12 weeks along with Smith Baby #2..due date 11-11-07!

Head is to the Left and the Legs are to the Right. We had a good look at the "private areas" and it looks like we might be adding some baby dolls to our trucks and trains collection. The ultrasound was high definition so we were even able to see "her" sucking her thumb the entire time. Amazing, at 12 weeks "she" was kicking her legs all over and growing perfectly. We go back in 4 weeks...
Tyler this morning (5-1-07) doing his artwork before school. Does he get any sweeter!!!!
A few weeks ago, I traveled to Dallas for a nursing conference with some of my peers.
You can hardly see this, but this was the research poster presentation myself and Lisa did at the conference...we WON for outstanding educational research presentation!

Happy Easter 2007

Tyler, March 2007.

Well, it has been a busy month and now that I remember my password I can update again. I don't know where my head is:) We have had a few big events..the biggest being that Tyler has "no more pacifer!!!" On friday night I was working and Eric could not find the paci when it was time for bed. He told Ty that "paci was all gone" and Tyler just looked at him with a serious look and said "paci all gone..." That was it! Here I thought it was going to be the most tramatic event in my toddlers life thus far. And it turned out.."Paci all gone did the trick." So with each bedtime and naptime he tells us the paci is all gone! It is too cute, other than the withdrawl symptoms of extreme irritability over the last few days we are doing great:)

We are loving the spring time, summer weather and enjoying playing outside during the days. Tyler's 2 year check up was great, he was in the 20% for weight and 50% for height. The doctors say he is very healthy. He is repeating everything these days. He loves to say his ABC's and count his numbers. It is amazing at 2 what he already knows. Well, we are off to start the day! Have a great week!
