Okay I am a totally bad Mom!!

The last picture of Katy in the pool from my last post wasn't for FHE, but for her BIRTHDAY!! I swear I have no mind any more and this is what happens when you get behind on your blog. So I know this is a few days (well 12 days to be exact) late Happy Birthday Katy. You may be the youngest but you sure do love us all! Even when mom forgets to celebrate your birthday on the blog!! Katy has been a spit fire from the start in her own way. It has been quite the year with the tops being the fact that Katy has now arrived at two and I am already ready to be done with the whole 2 year old thing. She sure does pick her own time to do things and is a wonderful blessing to be the baby of the family. Who's heart does she not melt with those blue eyes of hers?? She had a big year being one. She learned to keep up with her sisters, being in a short movie that made it into Sundance, and of course started in with that cheesey smile of hers. Man I love you Katy!! Happy Birthday to you. My little angel that still gets away with sleeping in my bed every now and then. Just please learn how to stay in one spot soon!!
Here she is when we brought her home from the hospital

There are those blue eyes on her first birthday

Here she is at the Sundance Film Festival this year. She has since learned to say "Sundance" and "Movie Star" very well and even asks time to time to "Watch my movie" it is a riot!!

And here she is at two. Being fun loving as ever!! and of course running around in a diaper b/c she doesn't like to wear anything but.

here is the quick catch up!

Let's see here is what we have been up to in the last few weeks. Hannah had her birthday and turned 6! Wow where has the time gone?!?! We had a fun famous Smith Birthday BBQ thanks to grandma and grandpa who provided all the food for the party!


Family home evening at the dino museum. It was pirate night so the kids got to do lots of fun stuff. They thought their pirate names were great, decorated their spy glasses, and got to count how many dinos had on pirate hats. It was a good night!!


Then Hannah started swim practice. She made the team for Lehi this summer and is having so much fun. See it didn't take her long to remember how to be a little fish and love the water. She just had her first swim meet on saturday and swam the 25 free, 25 back, and even a 25 fly. We will know tomorrow how she did! Ribbons are great and it really doesn't matter what place, just that we get ribbons!


Then it was time for school to be out. Ruby got done a day before Hannah this year and was happy but sad that she wasn't coming to school any more!!! I love my little Ruby and how much she learned in just a few months. We will miss Miss Heather and Miss Kelsey!



Then it was time for Han's last day of school. She had a field day that I was able to help out with. Cody was able to come down and watch the little girls so I could go and help out with the class. They played lazer tag in a field full of mud, saw a huge firetruck, got to spray firehoses, and play lots of fun games. They even had a spirit assembly with their class pirate chant!!!






Then we have been to the pool for another family home evening!! My camera battery was way low so I only got a few shots that turned out great. I am really lovin' the fact that my camera can go in the water. It sure is opening up a whole new world of pictures that I can capture!!


So there we go! The Smith update in a nutshell! Other than that we have been going on lots of walks to Walker's for Icees. Too bad those don't have cheaper re-fill prices. I have been working a lot at the OG and having some great tip nights. Steve is getting more clients billed who don't want the free 30 day trial! Just the bill and want to pay!! We love that. Still no news on our house and so we are in the process of planning on being here when the school year starts. I guess that is the nice thing about the move. It can happen when it happens. Next week is the 4th and we are headed to Laughlin for the lake and some family time. It will be fun for all. Hopefully all of us can finally get some sun and tans!!! Until our next adventure......

hello......we are still alive

I think that this is the longest ever that I have gone without blogging! We are all still alive and well...still in Utah. Maybe one day someone will want our house and we can get out of this place. Sorry for leaving all of my blog stalkers in a drought from a new entry. We have been cleaning the house, showing the house, enjoying days of rain for weeks on end now, celebrated Hannah's birthday, Celebrated Katy's birthday, finished preschool and kindergarten, spent many days at work, visited the dino museum, had swim team tryouts, swim practices, trips to the park, trips to the pool, and more. I am hoping that on monday (our first official day of summer break) that I can take some time and finally get caught up.

Just wanted to let all of you blogger fans know that we are still alive!!
