Rozzie was determined to put the baby doll's diaper on by herself. She tried to do so in many different ways, putting the baby in the porta-crib,
changing her on the table,
how about the ground?
Zack got the new Cars video game
Jayden and Rozzie's daddy, Jeremy, opening Jayden's monster truck for him

Shyann looking gorgeous with her christmas dress on... I think she got into the chocolate right before these pictures were taken... lol... she's still beautiful though
Blake, refusing to get up and show me his handsome little outfit. He was much more interested in watching the movie on tv.
Shyann, hamming it up in front of the Christmas tree. Blake would not smile for the life of him.
Rozzie and Jayden opening presents with Mom and "Dad" (Jessie's fiance)
Zack checking out his new digital camera
Jayden was very excited about his new moving dinosaur
Zack couldn't wait to get his new spiderman comforter out of the bag.
Lagger with his new chew toys. He was very indignant about anyone trying to touch his toys. 
Jayden got to stay up late with me to bake goodies for my coworkers. He was a great helper. He stirred the batter for the cookies
Look at those great cookie dough balls
When Jessie (Jayden's mom) got home she came and helped us fill these shape molds to bake star shaped brownies.
Jayden's favorite part of the whole adventure.... licking the spoon covered with chocolate brownie dough.
This is his triumphant pose after licking the spoon clean... I think that it got something else dirty though... I wonder what it could have been.
This is my cousin Tiffany. She got to come visit us here in Oregon for Christmas this year. She was very excited to be able to hold baby Eli 
A close up on Eliana, couldn't resist you know!!
I snagged Janessa for a quick photo opportunity... don't get these chances very often with how busy I am between jobs and school.... and everything else... blah...blah...blah
Eliana Rose Smith
Look at those beautiful eyes!
Janessa Lee Smith
Eliana's older sister, looking very indignent about not being the baby any more. She kept telling me to put Eli down and come play with her in her room. Which of course I eventually did, after holding the baby for a while. Couldn't just put the little cutie down right away.
Zack is my five year old godson, and Colin is my nephew. I have gotten these two together for play dates since they were two or three years old. They have a lot of fun playing together. So much that sometimes they tell others that they want to have time with me, and then turn around and ask if they can go see the other.
On this outting we went to Avery Park after a trip to the Dollar Tree to get a special sword for Zack and a gun for Colin. The boys had fun playing pirates on this boat.
I know, this picture makes it look like Colin was going to eat the bars, but he was actually just talking to me while he was climbing...
Zack shows off his swordsmans skills... or is he really trying to chop my head off... sometimes I just don't know.
Colin poses, showing me his big muscles after he climbed up this tall slide.
Colin in the "submarine", getting ready to be on the look out for "sharks in the ocean"
