I will be the epitome of never giving up on something as I attempt to do this blog. I have decided a new angle. At the end of each month I will calendar a day to blog the events of just the month. Trying to catch up gives me heartburn, though I have hopes. For now, start here AGAIN, one day, once a month. The hundreds of other things begging for my time will just have to wait. We'll see if I succeed.
We invited some of our favorite guests and friends the Smiths. We had a great time playing, celebrating and welcoming in the new year.
Happy New Year with the Smith's.

| Out comes the silly string and noise makers! |
 |
| HAPPY NEW YEAR! |
 |
Poor Genene Smith was resting on the couch and became the main
target of the silly string! |
Brinn's Talent Strikes again..
 |
| Brinn created this painting for her good friend Micheal Rodriguez |
 |
| And the subtle Star Wars pieces. |
Happy Birthday James. It's #14!
 |
| Requested crepe breakfast for the birthday boy and his brothers. |
 |
| Such a handsome pack! |
 |
| Presents! Which comes with the lovely assistants. |
 |
| The suspense is palpable. :) |
 |
| Bryson was so proud when his balloon shot right into the picture, |
 |
| A very nice fishing pole, a wood model, an electric toothbrush and sweatshirt. I think he's loved and spoiled. And worth it! He's a keeper even if he's 14. |
 |
| James loves the piano guys, orange jello, french bread, suspense books, his kindle. He loves bowties, baseball, and trivia crack. He enjoys, history, math and science. He is a good boy. He is especially good to his brothers. He apparently has many onlookers... girls... that drool over him. |
 |
| Things I love: Siblings playing happily together, and getting a Christmas gift right. We've seen lots of Zoob creations at our house. |
 |
| The Bryson, The Trev, and the James! They really do love each other so much. |
 |
| Zoob creations! Taken at the request of the creators! |
And then sometimes you don't need a gift. Trev entertained himself for quite sometime winding the vacuum around and dragging chairs and various other things with him. And even a pic in what we call his "slicks". They've been around since McKay. I'll never be able to get rid of them.
