Remembering!!

I wanted to say something about my Beloved Uncle Ron....
You would Always say I should have been your other daughter because we were too much alike. I loved your funny sense of humor. I loved the way you could tell a story, and the way you loved me so much.. I think about all the times you called for randomn things and it always started with a five minute prank call where we would laugh before you got to the point. I had a sincere relationship with you and not alot of people can say that about an Uncle. You were Great!! I am soo sad you are gone.. I am so sad.... Ophir will never be the same. My favorite place to be and you won't be there. Justin loved you too and would have done anything you asked of him. We are so happy to have shared so many memories with you and so so many laughs. You will always be in my heart and i will keep my promise to you, I will keep Veronica in my life forever. I am so sad your gone and I will remember you always. I love you Uncle Ron.

Family pictures

We had family pictures taken thanks to Trin,

this is an un-edited sneek-peek. We had fun even though we were freezing.

Bowling for Tanner's Birthday!

Bowling For Tanner's Birthday was a good time. It was Just our family, Wendy had Plans so her kids couldn't make it :( but it was still a fun little party.

The girls asked me if this could be their sport. Look Out Bowling World!! Here comes the Smith girls!!!
I think the best score of the 3 of them was a 31.. So it might take a bit more practice, but they believe they have sick skills..

Black Island Farms

Is that the farm I smell or Mike!! (teasing him never gets old)

The guys still play like boys..

We took the kids to Black Island Farms, which was a blast!!! We did the Edward and Joseph corn maze we played on the hay slides we went on a hay ride and got to pick huge pumpkins..
It was AWESOME!!!

Summer is over!! First day of school!!!

Today Parker started 3rd grade I wish her lots of luck, lots of friends and a new found love to learn. I hope this is a fabulous year for my sweet girl. she looked beautiful today and she is getting so big. I am very proud of her. She was so excited to wear her new clothes and have a new Jonas Brothers back pack.

Madison and Morgan started 1st grade today they could hardly sleep last night. They couldn't wait to wear their new dress's and use their new backpacks. Madison picked Hello Kitty and Morgan chose I Carly. I wish them a continuation of the wonderful progress they made in Kindergarten. I hope they love 1st grade as much as they loved school last year. I hope they make some great friends this year. I hope they keep the same excitement they had today throughout the whole year.

Happy first day of School My ladies...

I Love you!!!

Catching Bugs gets UGLY!!!

Poor Madison, the girls are some crazy bug catching fools.. This time the bee caught her. she got stung on the cheek and after a couple days this is how she looked. I am glad she is better and the swelling is gone but she looked pretty scary for a while.

Swimming Lessons

We put the girls into swimming lessons and they loved it. They didn't walk away with mad skills but the concept is there now and with practice and probably another session of lessons they will be pretty good.

Come and Get it!!!

The girls did a cute little lemonade stand.. and made $8 they were selling it for 25cents i think that's a pretty good profit margin.

I think it's so cute people still buy lemonade to support the little kids..

Our Day At the Great Salt Lake

After you get past the mud and the yucky smell, it was actually so cool. I remember going as a kid and thought my girls have never been and we needed a mommy girls day anyway. They loved it other than all their cuts and scrapes stinging they loved it:)

The sand feels so good on your feet and squished in your toes and the water was so warm I stood their looking around and thought this is really pretty.

I'm so glad the girls loved it, they want to go again tomorrow, "we'll see".

Utah has some fabulous places you don't always need a family vacation to have some fun days. This was a fun day!

4th of July

We spent the whole day in Tooele.. From 9:00 a.m to 11:00 p.m the kids were having so much fun playing with the cousins I didnt see them most the day so I didn't get alot of pictures of them but here is some of what I did get.

We watched the Parade and then went back to Nikki and Danny's for a movie the kids played slip and slide and then we went to lunch at Dairy Delight we went to the Tooele park and seen the festivities, listened to the bands play for like a minute. We went for a ride up the canyon and then did a BBq for dinner. We watched the fireworks at Deseret Peak and was so tired we died when we got home all of us.

Thanks Family for the fun day.. Happy July Everyone!

I Had their little Party yesterday, it was so cute their age group is sooo dang cute and they have some of the cutest friends. We set up the jumping castle, played couple games had popcorn and cupcakes.

They had Baily, Baily2, Brock, Brady, Birkly, Parker, Parker2, Tanner and Brody( got there late not in the picture). How fun to have their little special day. I think this was their first party that included friends from school.

Happy Birthday to my precious girls, this day always make you think of day one and i get the sick overwhelmed feeling i still remember having laying in that hospital bed. I think of how hard the first couple years were on me and how me and my wonderful husband struggled so much to handle this package deal.. It is all so clear now and it was all worth it. Oh Ya ! and did I mention I don't have to throw another birthday party for a whole year WAHOO! Love you Ladies all 3 of you.
