HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This years theme was a lot of fun.
Since Grammy is staying with us for a bit, we made her part of the group.
Happy Halloween - 
from Gru, Lucy, Margo, Edith, Agnus, 2 minions and vector.



OUR HOUSE IS SOLD!!!

We thought the day would never come but finally it did!!
It took 75 showings, listing with a realtor, dropping our price,
crazy stories, lots of stress, five offers, 2 open houses,
having a contract make it to closing and fall through,
and leaving it empty for 2 months, for it to finally sell.
We learned a lot of life lessons along the way.
Now we can get settled in at our new place and make it home!

Ab's Pumpkin

A long time ago, Ab's primary teacher in our old ward gave her a pumpkin seed.
She planted it in the back yard of our old house.
We didn't think we'd get to have it at the end.
Our house took longer to sell, so at the end,


the pumpkin was ours.
She proudly grew and carved her first pumpkin.
Way to go Abs!

2 WHEELS!

Mr. Jare Bear can ride a 2 wheeler!
It took him one try and he was going.
He wants to ride his bike all the time now.

Em turns 7

My "Little One" is 7 - where does the time go?
She is so full of energy and spunk!
She loves full day school and going to piano.
Emmie thanks for being a part of our family!
We love you!





Red Ribbon Fun Run

I am not a runner. This was a work sponsored family event.
It was something our whole family did together.
I don't love races but I do love family time!

13 years, oh yeah!

We celebrated 13 years of marriage by going on a plane ride over Cache Valley.
It was a beautiful sunrise. We even got to do a fly by for the kids.
These 13 years have had ups and downs but it's been the best ride of my life.

Annual Daddy daughter campout

At the end of each summer, Shem does a backyard campout with the girls.
They all look forward to it. They even do a pajama fashion show.



This year it was a little later due to moving.

FHE hike

Logan is a BEAUTIFUL place!
There are so many things to see and do.
A little bit ago we took a hike for FHE.
The kids loved the waterfall.

If any of you want to see all Logan has to offer, 
you're welcome to come visit.

Oh Lillie Girl








This baby girl is something else.
She's like Emmie but not.
She's at such a fun stage.
We love out Lillie girl!

And they're off!

The first day of school was 3 days after we moved.
Luckily we all survived and nothing got lost. 
Our kids transferred to TECS north campus.
That way the kids get to be at school with Dad.

 Little Miss Em is in first grade - Yay for all day school!
Abs is in fourth grade.
 Maddie munch is all grown up. She's in sixth grade/Middle school.
My two littles left at home.
Love their faces in the picture - classic!

Moving time!!

The day finally came for us to move! 
We seriously hope that we never have to move again.
The stress of selling and buying a home is killer.


These pictures show the moving mess.
 Pictures of the new house are coming soon - 
now that we actually bought it!

Smith Family Campout

Every year Shem's Fam has a campout.
We look forward to it and it's a lot of fun.
This year we enjoyed the ATVs, doing a treasure hunt,
and taking cute photo booth pictures.











Already planning for next year and all the fun we'll have!
