"smithers" and smithersette

Ryan meets Abigail and it's love at first sight. As you can easily see, he's smitten.
Ebony and ivory. I think Charlie fell in love too. He had a grand ole time terrorizing Lucy.
No, we didn't get a new dog, we just decided to shave Charlie. How about that freakishly long ear.

first night in the crib

small baby or giant crib? you decide


J Dub and McGowan come to town

"Best Smile" 1992 Jeff W. chills with Ryan
Yummy Brats on the grill. McGowan ate enough links to challenge Kobayashi - and then polished it off with a refreshing Sparks.
hanging out on the porch. Charlie still not sure what to think of Ryan

Double Trouble


Ryan and Darren had lunch today, and their mothers decided to dress them in matching clothes! Although they look nothing alike, many people thought they were twins. One woman had a hard time understanding they were 2 days apart until we explained that the boys had different mothers (and fathers). Some things (or people) really are slower in the South!

Big birthday for Ryan. This is just before he went on pub crawl. Notice the MC Hammer pants coming back in style. Grandpa has finally found someone that wears his pants higher up than him. By the way, we here Darrell and Alexis might steal this idea of the sign from us but even though Henry is older, we thought of this idea first.
