family gathering

We had a pool party two weekends ago at Aunt Ma'ams. Thomas and Chatham had SO much fun together-

There was lots of swimming

These boys are definitely little fish!

We hope to get together again soon Smith Family!

71%

The public opinion was correct 71 % of you thought Baby Donley #2 would be a girl, and it's offical!


Harper Annabeth Donley will grace us with her presence in 2012!!!



We are SO thrilled and can't wait to buy some pink!

Sprinkler Fun

We finally pulled out the sprinkler ball for a little fun in the sun after dinner.
Chatham loved drinking the water

He ran back and forth, back and forth just squealing

Our weekend....

Our weekend seemed to consist of food-food-and more food.

We had Mellow Mushroom on Friday night and got a YUMMY buffalo chicken/Meat lovers pizza. It was wonderful!

A few weekends ago we had dinner at my mother in laws and a church friend brought over green bean bundles (Thanks ML!) I am pretty sure I ate my weight in these joyful little rolls of goodness. Apparently I like them so much it's all I've talked about for a week! I made them this weekend when we had friends over and they were delicious! I came to work today to brag about how well I recreated ML's masterpiece and apparently I'm not the only one who made them this weekend. Nancy made them for her family and her daughter wants them every day now. Allen made them for his wife and he even used a piece of bread to soak up the extra sauce in the empty pan....I think we're on to something.

I know food isn't why you all come to view my blog, so here you are- the latest picture of Donley #2....or would this be Donley #4........

The Cold Shoulder

So, as you know Chatham is 2..... I thought that meant I had at least 10 years before I get blown off for girls; but I was wrong!


Devin is taking Chatham to school over the summer while I work 10 hours M-TH to have Fridays off. On the way to school each morning Chatham calls to tell me hi and make sure I'm picking him up in the afternoon. He tells me (EVERY morning) "I sleep good. I dream of Elmo" but one morning last week Chatham didn't want to talk, in fact as they approached the door at daycare he said "I see Addy and I NEEEED talk to her".......CLICK........
that's right, no bye, no I love, I got dissed for Addyson! Now don't get me wrong- I love Addyson, she is sweet and cute and a wonderful friend of Chatham's.

Fast Forward to Tuesday of this week... I didn't see Chatham that morning because he's asleep when I leave, I had a church meeting and a class reunion committee meeting after work so Devin picked up C from school. So I wasn't going to see him that evening either. I called around 4:30 to chat and see how school was and this is when I was informed that:

C: Mommy, I need a motorcycle.
M: Really, why?
C: Not a little one Mommy, I need a motorcycle with TWO seats.
M: Can Mommy ride with you?
C: No, I take Addy for a ride on my motorcycle.

OK- REALLY?!?!?! At least he's consistent and only blowing me off for Addyson- but if I buy you a motorcycle I WILL ride on it! And why is my 2-year old planning a date ON A MOTORCYCLE! Oh my goodness, I have some adventures to look forward too when he becomes a teenager!
