The First Day

I can't believe that we're already back to school.

Wednesday was the first day of school for Maddie and Abbie.

Little Abs is in Kindergarten and she LOVES it.

CLASSIC FUN CENTER!!

It was just that - some GREAT CLASSIC FUN!

This place was perfect for all of my kids.

Thanks Wendy and Nicolas for taking us there!

Smith Siblings - need I say more

Saturday morning we left camping early to get to a baptism.

Congrats to Zach for getting baptized.

Shem's family is known for their awesome funny faces. 

Here's great pictures of the siblings at their best.

Annual Smith Fam Campout

Friday night we went camping up Ephraim Canyon.

It was a fun and eventful night with plenty of funny faces.

Our air mattress held up and all the kids slept pretty good.

All in all it was a successful camping trip.

Thanks guys for all the laughs and good times!!

Liberty Park! (the coolest place)

Last Friday we met Shem's old roommate at Liberty Park.

Our family had a great time and Shem got to see Eric.

Tessa was there to help with the kids and it was so nice.

They went on the Ferris Wheel, Merry go Round, and Paddle Boat.

Prices were cheap and there were tons of things to keep kids busy.

Talk about a cool place to spend the day.

Arizona in a nutshell

Oh Arizona brings back so many memories.

We went to the Grand Canyon and Flagstaff.

The Grand Canyon of course was BEAUTIFUL.

It was so fun to show the kids where mom grew up.

We stayed with the Andersons at their AMAZING house.

My kids were in heaven. They had a swingset, bikes to ride,

acres of forest to explore and a stream to play in.

We enjoyed seeing old friends, visiting for hours, being outside,

my high school reunion, and eating at Galaxy Diner (sort of).

The drive was SUPER LONG but our kids did GREAT.

Overall it was a fun trip with lots of memories made.

Growing and Growing

Our first try at a garden is "growing" great.

We've been picking and eating.
