From Avyrlie

Avyrlie asked me to snap a couple pictures of her tonight. This is what she wanted to share with you:

Glowing Facebook Fanatic

One of my favorite things to see is Aimee wandering down the hall glued to her phone (aka Facebook). It's a hoot to watch her goofy expressions and random giggling as her seemingly disembodied head makes its way towards me. Ahh, life's pleasures :)

Ice Blocking with the Smiths

A brave few of the Smith clan headed to the park after our get together at the other park. We had a ton of fun with plenty of trash talk, crazy speed, crushed kids, and Jessica made sure she stole the show on the last run but paid for it with a little blood.

Escape Attempt

We watched these guys for quite a while as they made various uncoordinated escape attempts. This guy was especially entertaining for both us and his partners in crime.

Aimee Keeps Us Entertained

Ice Cream Mountain

It's about 4000°  outside so we stopped to cool down with a frosty. It works out well to share with avyrlie because she does more playing with her food than actual eating. She's been making ice mountains and painting them purple for the past 5 minutes. I stole a bite and now she won't forgive me for eating the mountain with the nice animals... Kooky kid :)

Couple clips stuck together here:

Avylie trying to turn me into a toad.

Avyrlie not going to bed. Best part is Aimee growling in the background. Avyrlie is only temporarily stunned.

Finally, why I take back roads when driving with Aimee and don't point a video camera at her too often. She just can't handle the pressure.

My Vacation With The Smiths So Far

by: Reecee Riecey Reesey Reesie Dog,

They took me to the park. I hate the park. There are dogs there.

They took me to the neighbor's. I hate the neighbor's. There are dogs there.

They took me around the block. I hate the block. There are dogs there.

They put me in the backyard. I hate the backyard. I can see dogs from there.

They only feed me one cup of food a day. I love food. I hate rations.

They lock me out of the bedroom. I love Aaron's pillow. I hate doors.

They leave me outside for 10 whole minutes. I love inside. I hate fresh air.

This is my favorite thing about downloading pix off Ian's camera; all the random stuff I find. This one was short, but less freaky more interesting than some.

Bed bugs

No pics yet, but I wanted to get a couple posts up while I have some down-time. Aimee and I got home from grabbing a couple necessities at the store last night (ice cream and Diet Coke...) to find all four youngsters curled up on our bed, sound asleep. My pic only has three because Sadie is a pretty light sleeper and got up when I walked in.

Aimee was hoping for an alert dog similar to Sam whose bark would cause the dehydrated dead to wet themselves as they lept from the grave. Sadie will bark if she is awake, if she hears you, and if she really cares (not very often).

I'm pretty sure Triela has never alerted anyone to anything and has to get pretty excited before she makes a peep. When I woke her up to kennel her last night she just managed to open one eye and turn her head slightly before going back to sleep.
