Well since I haven't uploaded in awhile, I thought I'd just put a bunch of pics from different things on here! We've been busy, having fun & playing lots. :)

Daddy, Uncle NaeNae & Ryan got to go fishin out at Grandpa Jack's house!

Ryan was in HEAVEN out on the boat with those two!!

Grandpa Jack & Colby--that kid is a little water baby! Won't be long & he'll be jumpin off the dock!! :)

BooBoo & Ryan. He was pretty excited to wake up in the morning & Grammy was at our house!! He had to show her his doctor kit!!

Even though it looks like Colby's "Squshed" I still love this picture. :) They've been hugging each other alot lately. I love it. I'll take it while I have it!!!

PaPaw & Colby Pants!! He watches every move PaPaw makes. He always squints at him and waves!! He loves his Grampy!!

Sweet Noah!! He's getting so big, will be two in August!! Love you baby!!! Him & Ryan were havin a ball, playin with tractors!

\

Ryan & Noah--helping Uncle NaeNae & Rachel unpack!! Oh boy!! They moved to Grand Island a few weeks ago, and had more than enough help, lol.

Uncle NaeNae, Ryan & Noah watching Cars & eating fruit snacks!! :) Ryan didn't move from his lap very much. :) Loves his uncle!

"The Littlest Fisherman"

I just love this picture, he's so ready to go!! He knows he has to sit still!! ha ha ha...

Colby squinting at mommy!! Silly baby!!!

Happy pants!! :)

This little boy will sing Twinkle Twinkle for days upon days....just not when you ask him to. :) He loves to sing into microphones now, so how perfect that BooBoo got one!!!

He thought Daddy needed to help him "mow" at PaPaw & BooBoo's house!! My dad said, too bad I already did it or I'd have taken Nate up on it!!! :)

What a busy boy. Hopefully his love of mowing stays with him....

Now how's that for a face!?!?! He told me the next day he wanted to ride the choochoo at the fair again...."and girl ride choochoo too!!" Oh boy! Starting already!!

Piggums! Loves cotton candy!!

Highlight of Ryan's week! At the fair, with PaPaw, on a combine!! How cool!!!

Cows mommy! He thought the baby calves were great! :)

Loved the "sorsies"!!!

The boys had a blast at the fair, took them a couple of times. The animal barnes had to be the highlight of Ryan's time there. Although as many times as he rode the choo choo train ride, it has to be a close call. :)

Well, I can hardly believe a week has passed since we went to World's of Fun!! It was great, a total blast. We so needed to get away & have a little screaming fun!! :) Nate & I, My Mom & Dad, My Aunt Colleen, Uncle Jeff, and cousins Taylor, Justine, & Hope all met up at World's of Fun last Monday and just played all day. It was great. And YES, that IS us on the front row of all the fun coasters!! Mom & I have created Coaster-Monsters in my dad & hubby!! Ha!! For a couple of guys who didn't quite know what they were getting into, they sure had fun! As a matter of fact, my dear husband has now claimed to have seen himself on the roller coaster on a World's of Fun commercial....Funny how fast that happened!! :) He had a great time, even though he's been fighting a nasty cold. He didnt' let it slow him down! And he's learned how fun it is sitting front & center, baby!! Yeah!! The Patriot, the suspended coaster, was the first BIG ride we went on, and so awesome. Mom & I still have a soft spot for the Mamba. Aw, love to drop over 200 ft at 75 mph. IT'S THE BEST!! Mom & I closed that one down till the park closed! Free/Extra ride at the end, who-hoo!! Pays to be a trooper! Anyway, it was WONDERFUL and we're all counting down till our next trip.

The boys got to stay home with Grandpa Jack & Grandma Angie. They had a BALL. Ryan & Grandpa Jack even set up the tent (indoors) and slept in there! How exciting to a little boy!! He talked Grandpa's ear off, I've heard!! Imagine that!! :) And Colby did great too! I think Grandma & Grandpa might've had a LITTLE fun too..... :) Thanks again guys!!

Here are a few pics--of course we didn't get too many, we were busy ridin all day!!!!

The Crazy Coaster Crew...Yeah, Colleen...we'll let u in. :)

Gettin off the Patriot! No, he didn't lose his glasses--just took them off for the wild ride!

Us on the right side...one of Nate's favorite rides!

Mom & Dad's Caricature (Terry & Julie, to a T!!)

How Fun!

Us again! Just comin into the park!

First ride of the day, Spinning Dragon. The cars spun around as you rode the coaster! Fun!

Just hangin around again...upside down, inside out...lol. Awesome.

Look Ma, No hands!! :)

Which Smolek Baby Is This!??!?!?!?!

This Was Ryan at 10 mos......

This IS Colby at 10 mos....

Isn't it unreal how much they look alike? And I have found DOZENS more pics where it would close to impossible to tell them apart if it weren't for the blessed date on the pics! Gott luv our digitals!! : ) What really makes us laugh is how much they even act alike, things Ryan used to do--now Colby's doing!! How fun! And now that they play together alot more, it's just a kick to watch.

The boys are doing great, I'll get some NEW pics up soon. Colby's waving bye-bye & hi, and loves to give kisses!! Loves to snack on graham crackers & yogurt, and anything he can get in his mouth. :) Sweet baby! Sleeping well, has learned to take 2 naps now instead of 3, for the most part. Sleeping 10-11 hrs at night (amen!) and just a happy camper! He got a new tooth last week, his bottom right one, next to the middle two. I think he is working on the left side one too. So cute, and he just grins all the time!!!

His brother is just as sweet. Ryan's such a smart, happy boy. He's just a blessing to us. It's so much fun now that we can have conversations with him! And talk he does! "What that, Mom? Where ChooChoo, Mom? I have Tootsie Roll, Mom?" :) Loves to pretend; he's constantly mowing the grass, fixing the door, calling his grandparents, cooking, vacuuming, combining, and anything else you could think of for an almost 3 year old to do!!

It just blows my mind that Ryan's this close to being 3!! He's such a handsome, big boy. He looks just like my Dad did when he was this age, esp with his new haircut. It's unreal. And Colby is 10 mos!?!? Where does time go, it feels like I just had him a few mos ago! And here we're talking 1st birthday party! Crazy, I tell you.
