Hey all,
Sorry it's been a while, I've been kinda busy. These are not the most resent pic. but they were too cute not to post!!!!! Luke loves his bath time and Kay Kay loves giving baby's baths, so we make an awsome couple. Oh yea and yes I asked his mommy, and she didn't care!!!
So this is one of Luke's many baths at my house. He LOVES baths, and Lil' Preston Loves helping give "Wook" a bath..........

And Loves helping put lotion on "Wook"!!!!! He thinks this is his baby. And this morning on the way home he said, "When we get home can I please get in the floor and play with "Wook"? They are both sooo sweet!!!!

And so I just thought while I had a second that I would give you all a laugh and some sweet stories of these two sweet boys that I have the joy of keeping!!!!!

I have to go clean my house now, Clean, Clean, Clean!!!!!!

MISSING BRANDON!!!!!!!!!

2009-02-20T08:50:00.000-08:00

THIS IS A SLIDE SHOW OF MY BROTHER-IN-LAW THAT WE LOST JUST 5 MONTHS AGO. HE WAS EXACTLY 1 MONTH AWAY FROM HIS 23RD BIRTHDAY. HE LEFT BEHIND A WIFE, A 2 YR. OLD LITTLE BOY, AND HIS DAUGHTER THAT WAS 7 DAYS OLD.
I HAVE BEEN HAVING A HARD TIME FOR THE LAST WEEK, I HAVE BEEN SOOOOOO SAD!!!! SO I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD TRY GETTING SOME OF IT OFF OF MY HEART BY BLOGING!!!!
BRANDON WAS AN AWSOME GUY, HE WORKED HIS BUTT OFF TAKING CARE OF HIS WIFE AND KIDS. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO WORK ONE TUES. MORNING WHEN HE WAS HIT BY A DRUNK DRIVER AND KILLED. SEVEN DAYS AFTER BRINGING HOME HIS BABY GIRL.
THE LOSS OF BRANDON HAS JUST BEEN HEAVY ON MY HEART LATELY AND I JUST MISS HIM SOOOOO BAD!!!! HE HAS BEEN PART OF MY LIFE SINCE HE WAS 13, YES I HAVE BEEN PART OF THE FAM. FOR A WHILE....SO I
FELT VERY CLOSE TO HIM. AND SINCE WE MOVED JUST 5 HOUSES DOWN FROM EACH OTHER WE HAVE BEEN VERY CLOSE TO HIM FOR THE 3 YEARS RIGHT BEFOR HE DIED...HE WOULD JUST STOP BY ALL THE TIME. IT DIDN'T MATTER IF PRESTON (HIS BROTHER) WAS HERE OR NOT HE WOULD JUST STOP BY TO SEE ME AND THE KIDS.
AND SO MY CHILDREN THOUGHT THAT HE HAD HUNG THE MOON!!! THEY GOT VERY USE TO HIM STOPING BY TO PLAY WITH THEM. THEY WOULD HEAR HIS BIG OLE' BOOTS COMING UP THE STAIRS AND GO RUNNING TO THE BACK DOOR. SO THEY HAVE HAD A HARD TIME. HUNTER HAD A VERY ROUGH TIME FOR THE 1ST COUPLE OF MONTHS, BUT HE IS GETTING BETTER NOW. HE DOESN'T CRY QUITE AS MUCH. NOW WHEN HE TALKES ABOUT UNCLE BRANDON IT IS JUST ABOUT WHAT IT WILL BE LIKE WHEN HE GETS TO SEE HIM AGAIN ONE DAY!!! AND HE LIKES TO PUT IT INTO HIS

OWN WORDS,TO HELP HIS YOUNGER BROTHER AND SISTER UNDERSTAND AND SO I JUST LISTEN. IT IS SOOOO SWEET, THE INISENCE OF A CHILD IS JUST PRICELESS. I MEAN IT IS LIKE GOD GAVE HIM THE WORDS TO SAY SO THAT THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND. HE JUST EXPLAINS HOW UNCLE BRANDON'S BODY WAS LIKE A TURTLE'S SHELL THAT GOT BEAT UP WHEN HE DIED AND THAT WE PUT IT INTO THE GROUND IN A BOX AND SAID GOODBYE TO IT.BUT WHEN WE GET TO HEAVEN UNCLE BRANDON WILL LOOK THE SAME WAY THAT HE DID THE LAST TIME THAT WE GOT TO SEE HIM......JESUS GAVE HIM A NEW SHELL!!! SO THE LITTLE STORIES OF BRANDON AND THE GREAT MEMORIES WILL ALWAYS HELP KEEP BRANDON ALIVE. AND SO BRANDON WE KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOOKING DOWN ON US.....SO JUST KNOW THAT WE LOVE AND MISS YOU SOOOOO MUCH AND WE WILL SEE YOU AGAIN SOON..............BY THE WAY THIS WAS THE LAST PIC. OF BRANDON TAKEN THE DAY AFTER HIS BABY GIRL WAS BORN.

2009-02-17T09:02:00.000-08:00

So Luke FINALLY got to come back to see Kay Kay!!!! I have missed him SOOOOOO bad!!!! He is the sweetest fellow!!! I love him!!! Just had to share this with all of you because He is just sooo cute!!!

Spend the Night Party!!!!

2009-02-05T19:42:00.000-08:00

Luke is getting to spend the night with Kay Kay. So we are having a spend the night party. This is Luke waiting for his bath. He is soooo cute grinning at me. I love this little man SOOOOO much!!! His mommy and daddy are sick and so he got to spend the night with me and I was so excited, I called all of people I know to let them know. But please join me in praying for this whole family that they get well!!! But I still would like for him to get to spend the night with me after they are all well. So Luke and I are going to have to get together a plan for that to happen. Maybe he can give mommy this sweet, cute, grin and we can maybe get away with it.

Sick, Happy Baby!!!!!

2009-01-30T07:25:00.000-08:00

So Luke is sick but still happy. He is so sick you can hear him breath and he will try to cough it up but doesn't know how, so he pukes. He is so pitiful but yet still so sweet to be sick. And I feel SO Sorry for him so I just hold him and he is OK.(He is going to be so spoiled when he gets well.) Oh well, we will deal with that later. I just have a hard time putting him down. He feels so bad. He is so cute and so happy in these pics., so I had to post them.

And so I have got to go so that I can hold my sick, sweet, baby boy. I just keep praying that he will feel better soon.

I'm tired!!!

2009-01-29T16:50:00.000-08:00

Well we had an eventful day. Luke does not feel well at all. I hope that his medicine helps soon. He is the sweetest and cutest sick guy though. He just laughs and plays just not as much. You can just tell that he is feeling bad. Hopefully he will start feeling better soon.

My kiddos on the other hand are a mess. If I can get them to quit fighting and telling on each other then things would go great. I need a few min. of quiet time. They will definitely be going to bed early tonight, so mommy can get in her time. Don't get me wrong I love my children with ALL my heart but I am tired and need a little quiet time. So I am going to put them in the bed soon.

Big morning of 1st!!!

2009-01-21T08:21:00.000-08:00

Well morning has been an adventure. We have only been home for exactly one hour and we have had so much going on.
Luke had his 1st mad cry at Kay Kay's house, I was so sad listening to him, but Kay Kay had a stomach attack on the way home and did not think that I was going to make it to the bathroom. So when I got here, I put Luke in the middle of my kitchen table, and RAN to the pot. Then, when I got off the toilet I found Luke like this crying his lungs out. No, Preston did not do it he was watching TV in his room. And he kept coming to the bathroom door saying, "Mommy Wook is crying!!!!" Luke thought that he was starving to death. So I fix him a giant bottle 6oz. and extra cereal 10tsp.,of course when you mix all that up it was 7oz., and he sucked it down like we had been starving him for a month. As you can tell by his chubby, sad checks, Kay Kay starves him.(lol)
And then Preston had to eat because he was starving, you know I don't feed him either(lol) and he says "Can I eat after Wook Mommy?" After both the boys belly's were full, this is Luke,Preston,and I taking a pic...you can tell Luke is in deep thought about something. So he starts grunting and I thought that I had feed him to much, I thought that he was about to blow like a volcano and puke everywhere.....

Big morning of 1st!!!

2009-01-21T08:20:00.000-08:00

Little did Kay Kay know what was about to happen.... Yes Luke had his 1st blowout at Kay Kay's house. And I mean he had a BLOWOUT!!! It was out both sides of the diaper and up the back. And he was then the happiest baby in the world. He had a full belly and an empty colon. And because he had just eaten I did not want to leave him laying down flat any more than I had to. So after I cleaned up the little fellow as good as possible...
This is Luke just as happy as can be watching his mobile, on his wedge to keep him propped up some, kicking and swinging his arms. He is now waiting on his bath. Is he not the most precious thing ever? I think he likes to be naked.

Just Chillin!!!

2009-01-20T10:23:00.000-08:00

Yes Luke is just hanging out at Kay Kay's house. I have missed the little stinker SO much!!!! I know that it has only been 3 days but it feels like forever. I was so happy to see
him this morning, don't get me wrong I get excited when I am waiting on getting him every morning. But I missed him so much and I think that he has grown a ton since Fri. This is his new cute bib that I got him, it is so true.
Any ways these are some cute pics. of Luke chillin at my house and just going to sleep with passie and then spitting his passie out while sleeping. Sorry, I love taking pictures, they are so cute. And finally, this is Luke just chillin in his glidder!!

Kiss Kiss

2009-01-13T10:51:00.000-08:00

Sweet boy!!! He is starting to smile at us when we talk to him. And he has the cutest dimples!!!
Preston loves talking to Luke,
and he loves to kiss him too,
well we both do!!! Oh yeah, quick update mommy, I pooped for Kay Kay. We love you!!!!

Sad Sad Day!!!!

2009-01-09T10:30:00.000-08:00

So this is a SAD SAD DAY!!!! This is our 1st day without Luke and Preston and I are sad. I don't know what to do without him. I am missing the little fellow. I can't wait until Mon. when I get him back. And I told Tom last night that when the summer came I am going to have to see him. I can't go without seeing him that long!! I don't have him today because mommy is sick. So these are some funny pics to help Rhonda feel better. Preston is trying soooo hard to make a sad face. So I had to make 25 pics. so that Preston could work on his sad face. And so I finally told him just act like you are trying to get away with something. And it worked.(LOL) He is so bad.

Names

2009-01-08T09:10:00.000-08:00

So Luke and I have decided on a name for him to call me. Because I wanted a more personal name than Mrs. Kathryn. So we think that we like KayKay. And that way it is much easier to say and he will be able to call me that forever.

Day 3

2009-01-07T08:55:00.000-08:00

Luke is loving his new hangout!! This is Luke sleeping in his new glider and he likes it too. He sleeps a lot still. But he will start staying awake more soon and
Preston can't wait. He loves it when Luke wakes up and he gets Luke to hold his fingers. I love this pic. of Luke waking up. It is the cutest wake-up pose ever. And these are his monkey feet. So cute!!

Our 1st day with Luke

2009-01-05T16:49:00.000-08:00

Hanna had breakfast,

Preston had breakfast,

Hunter had breakfast,

My 1st blog!!!

2009-01-05T09:08:00.000-08:00

Hey everyone!! I am new at this so ya'll will have to bare with me for a while please. I am starting this blogspot so that the Smith Family will be able to see their little munchkin, see my family and see the things that Luke get to do with his new nanny.

I am trying to think of a name for Luke to call me that is more personal than Mrs. Kathryn because I am hoping that I will be able to keep Luke for many years!!! So help please, I would love to hear everyone's input on this. I have only had him for one day now and he has already stolen my heart. He is the sweetest thing ever, always making sweet grunting noises and squirming around. Sooooo cute!!!

I was so excited to start keeping Luke that I could hardly sleep last night. And the morning FINALLY came. So now we start our new adventure in life together. And I can't wait!!!
