Soooo.... I forgot how to blog, it has been a while. Thought it would be fun to display some of my ever so very large project that kinda took over my life this school year. At Julia and Vivs school there is a PTA/grant funded program that is called Focus on Art, or FOA. During the school year I present to each class a particular featured artist and then a parent volunteer follows up with an art

Well.... Happy Easter everyone!!! I thought it was time to put in my yearly blog! :) Our Holiday festivities began at our Grandma and Grandpa Smiths, where we had a lovely dinner of delicious foods and Easter treats! Grandma Smith always has the best Easter treasure hunts! Afterwards the spirit was strong as Legrande (Darins dad) related the story of Christs Crucifixion and Resurrection, Marcia (

Just wanted to make note that even though our Decembers are always crazy! Hayden did officially turn 3 years old on December 2. To celebrate we invite a few of his closest friends, cause every three year old has them. And we partied with a transformer theme. (Haydens choice of course) We colored Bumblebee, Optimus Prime and Disepticon, we played some rambunctious boy games, with alot of

Our last Halloween party of the season was with the Awesome Smith family. We always have a really great time with Grandma and Grandpa Smith and cousins. Grandma Smith is quite the party planner. She is amazing at her role as Grandma always finding equal amounts of time to share with each grandchild. We all think she is pretty special. This year she organized snacks at aunt Debbie's new house and

During this busy Halloween month we were able to squeeze in a really fun friend party for the girls. The guest list included some cleverly cute characters such as the "Candy Corn Queen", an Oompa Loompa, A vampiress, Wendy the witch none other than thee Nancy Drew and some other wicked cool costumed little ladies . Thanks Moms. We had a wild and crazy time to say the least! The activity

Well folks, we enjoyed the first Halloween bash, here at the Smith home, It was filled with cousins, cupcakes, costumes and crazy's. First on the agenda was pictures of everyone's cute costumes. Then we had a delicious meal of chili, chowder, breadsticks and almost a vegetable tray (love you Shauna:). The pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting was delish, wish I had more right this second.

We have had a really enjoyable October, besides "all things Halloween" we love the change of weather and the beautiful colors we have witnessed here on the mountain. We also had a fun little incident at the beginning of the month. I was driving home from the kids school, when to my wonderous surprise, a rather large tortoise was strolling along in the road. It seemed very out of place, I wasn't

This is totally great! my blog is getting so much fancier! Thanks to all my blog friends! It has even inspired me to update a little on our adventures of this weekend. O.k. So I don't know if I would call it an adventure. But we were lucky to have some very nice friends who dubbed us their Mountainside condo for the week. It was so perfectly beautiful up there, the days were lovely for

Hello all! I thought I would get a couple of new pictures and events recorded and reported. Though July is as always hot and busy, we had a lot of fun with our friends and family and I want to thank everyone who contributed to this "funness." We had a nice 24th of July gathering at our house, which I have included an updated picture of (our house that is). We had lots of good food and of

This summer has been so busy I can't believe that school will be starting in just a few weeks. We had a really great family reunion with Darins Family in Heber at the Homestead. Everything was perfect the company the boating and the food was devine. Last week we enjoyed a 6 day "Staycation" We started out at Thanksgiving Point with our good friends the Rothwells, we did everything from the

Ew you!:) In this entry I am going to pretty much highlight my VIV! She is so great! It is so awesome to know what she has been through and to see where and what she is doing now.

Well friends, these will most definitly be the last Smith pics of 2007. Just to give you a quick update, we have continued to greatly appreciate, our house and its surroundings. The heavy snowfalls have really created a beautiful landscape to enjoy and our home is such a cozy place to come home to. The snow also gave Darin an excuse to buy a four-wheeler, he loves to buzz around shoveling the

This summer we spent a week with all the Smiths for a reunion in Island Park. It was great to see everyone. In meeting up with everyone we stayed a night in Idaho Falls, we slept over night in the Ramada Inn, we had a fantastic view of the temple and there was a super great parkway which we took advantage of and strolled down the way to find a yummy snow cone shop located in an old train car. It

This summer was busy but one of the most enjoyable activities we did was hang out at the beach near our cabin. The kids had a great time they love the water, Julia is the first to jump in or off the boat. She's a fish. Viv loves the water just a little more timmid right now. And Hayden, he thinks he is just as big as the rest of the kids and will swim all over by himself if he has his floatys on.

At the beginning of summer a group of Ladies and their kids took a rode trip to Disneyland. We jumped aboard and had a really fun time! The girls had a blast with all their neighborhood friends and it was fun just casually soaking up the whole experience. We of course had to make appointments to Libby lu's in Downtown Disney and get "Glammed" up. We always love to eat at the Blue Bayou, this

The new home is great, we enjoy every part of it especially the views, we just put grass in as of yesterday and it is heaven. However, somehow Hayden still continues to find the mud and just tracked a whole pile of it up our stairs! He is quite the boy. His favorite word is "NO" even if he really wants to say "yes." He loves all kinds of balls no matter the sport. And for right now he is quite

Hi friends, just want to catch everyone up on the Smiths. First and foremost Viv is doing great we went to Primary's a week ago and the doctor said that the pressure detected on her heart was not showing this time on the eco. We have had an overwhelming sense of peace and relief. We appreciate all your prayers in her behalf. The holidays went well it is always nice to have them over. It

Hope everyone had a fantastic Halloween. We of course had a very busy one. However it was full of many spooktacular events. We loved going to Frightmares with the Pauni's. Infact the girls loved it so much Julia entered an art piece of the cousins at frightmares and one first place in the reflections contest. Vivians "Raven" pumpkin was a hit, she loved helping me make it. We always enjoy

I thought it would be fun to post a couple pictures of my latest visit to NY. It was so great to take my friend Lori for her first time, we had some memorable moments on the subway. It was exciting being a city mom with my good friend Heath and her children Des and Zoe. Hayden was a total trooper. Overall, I have to say the NY is such a great place, I could have stayed a month.
