Christopher is SEVEN !!!!!

I can't think of a better reason to have a 500th post then to wish our Tiff a happy 7th birthday!
(Sam started this blog on his way to Idaho back in July of 2005, and eventually I stole it and made it my own).
But wait, wasn't the earlier post a birthday post too?
Yep! He and Kaebrie were born 2 days short of 2 years apart. They BOTH weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces and there was only a 10 minute time difference. They were BOTH due September 16th as well. (To make the story more bizarre both Collin and Kaitlynn were due February 22nd). :)

This little guy is something else! He has the BEST laugh, ever. It is the most genuine, contagious laugh we have ever heard. It has been that way since he was a baby and we LOVE it! He likes to be busy and if he can be busy outside, that is where he wants to be; climbing, digging, riding, and building forts. His nails are ALWAYS dirty, no matter how often his hands are washed. He likes to play tricks on his siblings, LOVES to eat and we have a hard time filling him up. He is excessively tall for his age and is adorable with so many front teeth missing.

We love you Christopher Dean Smith!!!!!

This morning after breakfast, we walked down the driveway again to take your birthday pictures. You knew right where to go because we were there just two days ago!

No school on your birthday is the rule in the Smith house, though I don't think any child has ever enjoyed that rule more than you did today!

We did presents this morning too!

You got soccer socks, shin guards....


.... and a new soccer ball!!!!
Also a bionacle that Collin helped you put together. Also, a one month membership to Club Penguin!! (Please don't ask me to explain what that is).
You were one very happy, very busy boy today!
You also got to pick your special meal, and it was the Mexican Restaurant for dinner! You ordered hot wings for the first time and drank about 3 glasses of Sprite along with them. :)
You bring special things into this family Christopher. You make Mommy have to try things harder some times, you make us not take things for granted, you make us laugh and we are so thankful that all those years ago, when the doctor held you up, she said,
"IT'S a BOY!!!!!"
