What have we been up to?

2009-11-07T19:19:00.000-08:00

Welcome to the Smith's Blog that hasn't been updated in months... Here are a few pictures to show what we have been up to. Madison graduated from Pre-school and is loving Kindergarten. I love my darling picture of my 2 graduates in Blue!

Here are my two football players. Poor Hunter broke is arm in the 1st game and was pretty much out for the season. Tanner loves it and his team just went to the Jag Bowl and beat Bingham! (a tough team)

Halloween Brew!... This is from Madison's Halloween party. Here are the kids just before they went out trick or treating..

This was my trip to Wash DC for JetBlue. We sponsored the Marine Corps Marathon. We did some sightseeing also!

Hunter went to the BYU Museum for his field trip this year and I got to go with him. The bus we were on broke down and we had to walk a little bit to the park for lunch. Then we had to wait about 45 min for a new one.
Zach has been running cross country this season and here he is at the Region Meet. They run a 5K or 3.1 miles. He did it in 17.26 and that is the fastest time a sophmore has done it from West Jordan in the last 12 years. He also just got MVP from his Cross Country Banquet.

This is Madison on Picture day... I had to pay her $2.00 to wear a "cute" shirt. She looked darling. Parker went on a field trip to the Zoo. I was lucky to get to go with his class.

Here is what our family has been up to for the past 6 months.... Morgan graduated from High School and Seminary. She got some scholarships and is off to BYUi and LOVING IT!!! She has 5 great roomates and is studying hard...

Never a dull moment at the Smith's!

Wow! There is something going on all the time at our house. I only wish I had more time to document everything. I have to fight 6 kids and my hubby to get the computer... Here are some new pictures of my boys getting ready to go to church, Madison's broken arm and Morgan's Prom.

This is Madison. She is my busy little bee. These are her favorite outfits. She loves the color blue! The other day, I had to pay her $1.00 to wear a cute girly outfit to a Jr Miss event with me! She wants a doggie named Bolt. She has a whole bunch of baby dogs that she plays with all the time in her new fort in her bedroom. Parker also loves to play with Madison in her fort. They took our old TV/VCR combo and can watch movies in their fort.

This is me on Matt's birthday. We went to the Temple and out to dinner, so I had Zach take my picture so I could update my facebook photo..

Matt and Jill's Cruise
We finally went on a cruise for our 20th wedding anniversary. Here we are with our friends that went with us. From left to right, Rob & Robin Cortez, Neil & Kris Denison, us. We had a great time. They were really fun to cruise with. Kris was our private cruise director and got things planned and organized. We had a ball together.
This was one of the nights we dressed up and took pictures of each other.
Here we are at dinner. We really just enjoyed being together and being able to talk to each without interruptions!
Here we are just boarding the ship. We hope to go again someday and take more friends and family with us.These are pictures of the beautiful water and beaches in Mazatlan. Those are seals laying out on the rocks.
The beaches
Here are Matt and I on the beach... I preferred the shaded beach chair and Matt loved the water.

Matt & Jill's 20th Wedding Celebration

2008-10-17T14:57:00.000-07:00

Matt and I had our 20th Wedding Anniversary this past July 22nd! We are going to celebrate by going on a long awaited cruise. At least I have been waiting for a long time, Matt finally agreed to take me. We are going to be cruising down the Mexican Riviera from Nov 1 - 8. My mom is coming to take care of my kids. She is my hero. Matt and I are both really excited to get a vacation by ourselves. We have taken the kids on some fun trips this year, but we seem to go separately so one of us can stay home and take care of the fort. I will post some pictures from our trip when we get back.
