Leaves and Bubbles

                                                        poor guys lips keep chapping.

                                                  I love all mys boys BIG blue eyes.

                                                  I love this hat, it's SO CUTE on him.

The boys had a great time playing in the leaves and blowing bubbles.  Seth just loves his brothers.  He gets so excited when they get home it is so cute.  They also played with the trains when they came back in.  Seth and Benz play with the trains like everyday.  They love them.  Well I hope you all had a great fall day as well.  I know in UT "it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas".  I love snow and wish it would come our way.  Well here's wishing you a Happy upcoming Thanksgiving!

Happy Halloween!

We Had a great Halloween, the boys just love getting all dressed up.  We just did our normal visit to family and friends.  But they always make out like bandits.  I hope you all had a great day too.

Tennis anyone??

I just thought these were cute pictures and thought I would share with the fam. We took the boys to play before our trip to Montana. It was super hot but fun. Enjoy the pictures.

Back to School!!

First day of school! I can't believe it is already here, and that I only have one boy home. It was cute how excited they all were. Derek was a great big brother showing Benz where to go. They all said they had a great day and they loved their teachers. Heck I love their teachers they are all great. Two we know because Tyson or Derek had them before. They are super duper teachers I am thrilled with who they got.

Benz had a little bit of a mix up at lunch. He grabbed the wrong lunch bag. Aunt Petra was working at the school so she went over the tell him to hurry and eat. And looked at his lunch and it was a bag of cookies a half full water bottle and chips just thrown in. And she was like this doesn't look like a lunch your mom would make you. So she looked around the table and said that one looks like one she would make and sure enough it was. But by then that sandwich was already gone. But if it was the kid's whose lunch Benz got. I can't say I begrudge him the sandwich poor kid. I guess at lest there were cookies in it. But all the boys had fun and were happy to see me and tell me about their day.

Seth and I miss the boys and were glad to have them all back home. I love my boys!!

The picture of Seth is kind of sad and cute at the same time. Sad because he basically cried himself to sleep. And cute because... well look at him. He's a cute boy.

He was wanting to go in the basement with me, but I was cleaning up a flood mess and didn't want him playing in it. It was so gross and smelly. I am glad it is done and taken care of and wont have to worry about it happening again.

Montana!!

Cute cabin in Glacier.

Allen's cabin on Flathead lake.

Jared and boys on paddle boat on Flathead lake.(Seth was set in for picture we didn't paddle him around with out life jacket. Just so you know Allen)

I finally got to head to my home town on Bigfork after 8 years. Can you believe it, 8 years?? I can't, but that is how long it has been. I had a reunion but I didn't make it. I didn't have Internet to find out the address. But all is good. We had a blast with family and friends. Saw some old friends from Canada. Actually Tyson was my prom date senior year. (yeah we imported our dates.) They were a blast to hang out with. We were all good friends, nothing more. So if your getting any ideas about my son being named Tyson too... it is just a great name. Jared was giving me a hard time about that one. lol But we had so much fun. But I wanted to tell Allen thanks again for letting us stay. It is such an awesome place. We loved it and so did the boys. Dad and Bryan it was fun just hanging out and chit chatting. Glacier was fun even though we had some car sick boys. The views were worth it. And thanks for taking them to that play place it was the high light of the trip for them.

All in all I am grateful I got to have some of my childhood there in Bigfork. It is beautiful and has changed a lot since I was there last. It's funny how in your head things stay the same. When in reality life goes on. I do wish I could have made it to the reunion. But maybe next time. I was surprised I didn't run into anyone one from school.

Ash's Visit

Ashlee came and visited for about 2 weeks. It was a lot of fun. I am so glad she got to come. Max and Benz had a blast too. We love you guys come visit again.

Megan Gets Her Masters

We all went to see Megan graduate with her masters. We are all so proud of her and are so excited her and Norm moved to our town. We love you guys.

Baptism

I looked Bugged which I was because Jared kept goosing me every chance he got.

Same thing is happening here. He is such a butt head sometimes.

I can't Believe I have a 8 year old already. I feel so old. What makes me feel the most old is when babies you baby sat are married and having kids. It's crazy!

Anyway Tyson was really nervous for some reason. But he did good. Derek gave the opening prayer and Megan and Rhonda did the talks. Everyone was great. While Tyson and Jared got dressed the primary (which is pretty much the Smiths, Alleys, and the Thackers) sang songs. It was cute and very good.

Tyson I want you to know how proud of you I am. You are such a sweet and tender hearted guy. Always thinking of others and I love that about you. You are such a big helper too. Thanks for being such a good example to your brothers. We all love you so dang much.

Happy Birthday To Emily

I hope Emily had a good birthday. She didn't want cake not even cheese cake (crazy I know). But we always make this chex mix when we have our movie nights together. So that is what she wanted... so I worked me magic and made it into a cake of sorts. It was yummy but harder to break up.

I just want Em to know that I love her guts and she is such a sweet and BEAUTIFUL girl. I am so lucky to be in the Smith family. We all love you!

Brithday and Easter

WE had a great day today. Tyson had a wonderful day. I think he really had a great time. I am so proud of him. I love him so much.


The boys had a great Easter. We had a great egg hunt and an Easter dinner. It was fun having Megan and Norm down with the rest of the family.
