Blog Par- tay!







Joining in with mom bloggers at MomDot for a fun filled month of holiday blogging. I will of course be putting a living with chronic illness spin on my posts as well.

Today's question is "Introduce us to your family and share holiday pics from years past.

Okay, my family is all testosterone, 'cept me. My lovely hubby Mike is a hard working, God fearing, Harley riding, soft speaking, hug loving, hunk of man. Jared is 12. He is our basketball and all things sports loving, ESPN watching, smart mouth talking, girl watching, Axe body spray loving, Bible reading, constantly eating something cutie (oh, sorry) handsome son. Then there is Matt, 11. He is our Star Wars loving, chess club attending, deep thinking, physical activity avoiding, back rub giving, animal loving, sweetie (oh, sorry) cool son. Then there is Jason, 15, my bonus son. He is our introspective thinking, art loving, won't stop growing, origami making, shoe loving, boy (oh, sorry) young man. Then there is me- I am a Christ loving, organizing, blog writing, volunteering, reading, singing, crazy acting, multitasking mama of the above family. We also have a hamster named Tilly, a Heinz 57 doggie named Baby and my real baby, Miles the chihuahua. That, my friends, is the Smallwood clan.

Now, pics from holidays past- I am too lazy to scan pictures today so you will have to make do with more recent ones that are actually on this computer.


Two of my favorite guys, relaxing with full tummies- Mike and my Poppop
