Random Pics from Around the House

working hard - man can you believe Mom makes me shovel this drive way???

I bought her a shovel for her to use while I snow blow - too bad we haven't had much snow this winter. She uses the shovel mostly indoors on the carpet. I think it's been outside twice.

Too cute!

Whenever I straighten my hair, Courtney has to come in the bathroom and play in the sink. She just loves water - I think I have a swimmer for sure!

Welcome Colin!

My girlfriend Jenny delivered her beautiful son Colin Smitka at Beaumont Hospital. He was 10.1 lbs. Big Boy! He's just perfect and completely healthy.
Congratulations Mom and Dad - he's AWESOME.

Happy Birthday Madison

Happy Birthday to Courtney's BFF Madison Grace O'Connor!
Thanks Melissa and Ryan for having us over for a great party. We cannot believe your little girl is 1 Yr Old.

Around the house

She loves to wash her hands - well more like play in the water. Either way, she knows how to pull the stand to the sink, get on and put her hands in the sink.

We're moving Courtney to a booster seat. These are pictures from our first dinner together at the table.

Playing around the house

She put this on herself :)

LOL, can you see Courtney peeking out over Jason

Frosty Cold!

Jason and I took Courtney outside to play in the snow for the 1st time this winter. She just LOVED it! She kept bending over to pick up the snow and eat it - I guess I'll have to keep an eye out for that special yellow snow LOL
I had a difficult time keeping her gloves on, so the trip outside was short. If anyone has any helpful suggestions for this problem, please let me know!

Christmas at home

On the 26th, Jason Courtney and I celebrated Christmas. Hands down this was the day to catch her on camera. All the reactions were big and loud - lots of oos, ahhs and smiles.
