Life is going great
The Smith's are busy busy busy and I LOVE IT!.... i thrive on busy... I am my happiest when I am busy and when I finally find a minute or two hours to sit down and relax, I about go stir crazy.
We recently went on vacation to Myrtle Beach for a few days. It was soo nice to get away and we got to celebrate fathers day relaxiong on the beach... it was so wonderful and some great time for family bonding. ( I can never get enough of that) We got to see some old friends. We went kayaking with Kristen and Ken just like old times, hung out with Kelly and Justin and went to the pool and dinner with Graham and Michelle. We definitely need to make it a point to see these special people more often.
Back home it has been business (and fun) as usual. I have been spending alot of time with my bestie since she is off for the summer. It has been great getting the kids together and making plans that we will hopefully begin to get to. Daniel has had a few much neeeded outtings with the guys at the lake one day, a country concert another and random dart throwing nights. He is also playing softball this summer but of course it rains every Wednesday and their games get cancelled. Recently his work decided to be closed on Tuesdays instead of Mondays and even though that threw a tweak in our childcare situation it is great news for us since I am off on Tuesdays. I am busy training for the Peachtree Road Race on July 4th (this coming Monday, AHH!). I did a 5k with Oliver this past Saturday in Suwanee to benefit the Gwinnett County Fire Department and I am soo proud of myself cause I beat my best time by 3 minutes!!
Oliver has been talking up a storm and is simply just a complete mess of awesomeness. He has begun dancing and it is so funny. I cant even keep up with the stories about him. I'll end this post with one from yesterday morning.
I walk into Oliver's room cause I can hear he is awake and he is standing up in his crib. He looks at me, points to his "butt,butt" and says "poopy!".... sure enough, he was!! I hope this doesnt mean he is ready to potty train, cause I for sure I am not.

is not sure I am living in 2011. Between listening to 90's music all day at work and then the big 90's weekend all weekend, as well as being technologically challenged I might as well be back in '95. But I guess then I wouldn't be status updating!

I am glad that I am running the Suwanee 5k to benefit the Fire Department this Saturday cause now I owe them after the false (and very loud) false alarm they had to just attend to for me. When is it vacation again?

it sounds crazy that I think MB is the most romantic place but to me it is and this drive brings back so many memories... this is the place where we fell deep in love, where we made it on our own, where we decided we were "the one" and where that magical question was asked.... I love this drive!

"On Set"
Yesterday was a sensational day. There I was all caught up in my career when a phone call changed the day. Stacey is Oliver's agent so to speak and had informed me about a possible movie gig for a toddler. I thought about it for a few seconds, complied with entering Oliver and went on about my day. Then a few hours later my phone rang in my office, which is weird since I generally don't have cell service in there and I didn't recognize the number but I answered anyways. The man on the other end asked for Kelly Smith and then informed me that he got Oliver's pictures and would like for me to come down to Decatur to sign a minor work permit application at 7pm. I agreed and then asked him what this was for.....
He told me that Oliver was chosen to be a paid extra on the set of the movie American Reunion. It is part of the American Pie movie series and shooting for the scenes Oliver will take place in will be on Monday and Tuesday afternoon / evening (yay.. we still get to leave for vacation on Wednesday!). The man warned me that there will be foul language and some nudity (not full body) and although Oliver will not be in the scene with that he needed to let me know. I didn't think that would be a problem. ;)
Well after I heard the news I literally ran back into my office fell to my knees and then started jumping up and down. A little dramatic I am sure but seriously I was so excited! That pretty much ended my work day right there. I called Daniel, who giggled like a school girl with the news and then my mom who was a bit louder with her reaction. I then told all my staff the reason for why I was cutting out early, packed up my stuff and left. Haha... I mean I couldn't have been productive after that.
Luckily a very good friend of mine was at work with me. so i grabbed her and we headed out for a drink.. this definitely called for a celebration. And I needed some direction to where Decatur was even at (now I know that I already knew where Decatur was the whole time). We went down there grabbed some pizza and a beer and then finally found the set, which was at Druid Hills high School and a neighboring church. We saw extras all over the place and of course photographed some of them just in case we need to refer back to them once the movie comes out. (a little star struck, you think.... I don't know how I'm going to keep my cool next week). After passing through the most unprofessional and rude security guard we found a spot to park, and headed in side to meet the person who called me.
We were inside a cafeteria for all of about 5 minutes. I filled out the paperwork and the man told me the process of calling him Friday and what he would be doing. On the paperwork I was filling out, it told me that Oliver will be in a beach scene. The man told me he would be processing Oliver's work permit first thing in the am and it would take a few days to get back so it will be perfect timing for Mondays shoot.
That's really all I know now. He told me a few times what the job paid but honestly I can barely remember. It obviously isn't about the money. I think this is such a fun endeavor and a great pick up line for Oliver to use later in life on the ladies (yuck!).
I'm such a person that believes in signs, destiny and all things like that. It was never my intention to have a child model and or actor and the modeling thing was such a fun experience so maybe this will be as well. If its not and its a nightmare, at least it is still a story. haha

babble babble babble
Yesterday we took Oliver to his 18 month check up. He weighs 27 pounds and is in the 25th percentile for height, 60th for weight and 95th for head... pretty consistent to all his other checkups. We did the questionarre to see if he might show signs of autism. i am pretty familar with these signs from college so i knew that he wasnt.
The doctor asked how many words he knew and I began counting...
Georgia
Dada
Ball
Bat
Bye Bye
Bubble
Hi
Choo choo (not sure it that counts)
Mama
Bug
Stop
'thereheis (there it is)
waffle
juice
nobite (no bite)
i know there is al ot more but since the doctor only needed to know if he could say 6, I'd say this list is sufficient.
Oliver is always talking, singing. or saying bye bye... when cars come down the street, he stops playing to wave and say hi.. unfortunately we live in the beginning of a 270 home subdivision so he doesn't get much playtime in out front. I love the babble... i actually cannot get enough of it and i plan to soak it in for this short amount of time that it lasts.
I honor of my babbling buddy... Buh bye!!
