Skish & Moms Phone

Baby Skish aka Ava loves my phone. It is more like she is obsessed with it. Mostly because I have the "Bubbly" song on it as a ring tone. She hearts that song and waves her chubby arms and shakes her head back and forth when I play it over and over and over again for her. She also loves to kiss my phone, which I call sucking her slobbery drool all over it. She thinks she is so funny and of course she is, because I laugh whenever she does this. I think I let her get away with this because she is so squishy.

Scrunch Squishy Smile

Look at me, I have my moms phone and I'm so cute.

WHAT???? No way, I thought drool was good for cell phones.

Kisses for moms phone. How nice.

Self Portraits

I was downloading pictures off of our memory card and I found a few goodies that I had to share.

First of all, Parker is hilarious. He is obsessed with the camera. He takes pictures of everything and everyone. He loves to take self portraits, he has been doing this since he was 2.

Yesterday he took 86 pictures of Mario Galaxy on the t.v. 86. holy moley.

So, enjoy a few classic PK self portraits. Love this kid.

This one is my favorite, I am lovin' the lip curl.

Lucky Lucky Me

10 years ago today, Jason R. Smith proposed to me.

I was not nice to him that day.

I was ornery.

Really sassy.

Mean to the waiter at the restaurant.

Mean to Jason.

Complaining constantly.

But....

Jason didn't let any of that phase him.

He kept being his "funny" self.

He kept cracking jokes.

Being super nice and sweet.

Telling me he loved me.

Then I complained when he wanted to go for a walk.

But he insisted.

So I complained some more.

Then during one of my ranting and ravings.

He stopped walking.

Gave me this funny look.

I said, "WHAT?!" (in my ornery, tired voice.)

He looked at me.

He said, "Kristin Olson, I love you more than anything in this world. Will you marry me?"

I had this look of pure, "WHAT THE?!" on my face.

I started crying, because I was being so mean.

I kept saying, "What? Marry?"

I started crying more because I couldn't believe he would want to marry me after being so awful, mean, sassy and ornery all night.

He opened this black box with this gorgeous ring in it.

I just stared at it.

Then my blond brain woke up and I said, "YES!"

Then we skipped off into the sunset, holding hands. Okay so that really didn't happen. But seriously the story was getting a little cheesy, so I had to add some more cheese to it, to make it extra cheesier.

Seriously though, I feel very lucky to have Jas as my hubby and my best "guy" friend.

Love you babe.

p.s. your hot.

(gotta keep the love alive people)

Miss Ava LOVES food!!

Other than Hannah, I have never seen a baby love food like Miss Ava. She gets so excited when we put her in her highchair, she screams and smacks the tray until we give her something to eat.

She is a funny baby.

On the menu tonight: chicken, mashed potatoes, biscuits and corn

(courtesy of KFC of course)
I think she likes it!
I look over and she had taken this cob of corn off of Hannahs plate.

Savoring the flavor....

Sleep eating or taking a little snooze between courses??

So stinkin' cute!

Her favorite foods so far:

nilla wafers

graham crackers

pears and peaches

corn

mashed potatoes

chicken

bread

cherry slurpee (thanks to her dad)

refried beans and spanish rice

french toast

okay, so pretty much anything we put in front of her she eats!

She is All Better

After 2+ weeks of being one sick little babe, Peanut is all better.

She is back to her normal monster self and yes people, that is drool on her chin, lots and lots of drool. I wish I could say she is drooling because she is teething, but I can't. She still has NO teeth, but drools like crazy. We change shirts 3 times a day, easily.

We are just so happy she is feeling better!

Oh and she is standing up in her crib now and can climb up one stair, she is almost to two

She is walking around the coffee table.

She is eating paper like crazy

She won't say mama. When I ask her to, she shakes her head no and says dada.

She tries to put on hats and shoes

She puts socks in her mouth and just leaves them there and crawls around

When she hears the phone ring, she says, "Hi."

She thinks the vacuum, broom and my cricut are the most hilarious things on the planet

She pulls everything out of the play kitchen, she is so helpful

and yes,

she is still taking the garbage can down daily. But she has learned that food goes in the refrigerator, so she crawls to it and slaps the fridge door and yells, until I open it and get her something out of it. Silly baby.

Love Her.
