First Day of School 09'

I told them to smile or we would stay their all day.

This is the Before pic to the last one.

Rocky insists on doing these weird rock and roll horns in every pic now

Another year of school is upon us. Regan is is Ms. Eller's 2nd grade class. Woody is in Mrs. Castillo's 4th grade class and we have unleashed Rocky into Mrs. LeBlanc's kindergarten class, may the force be with her. What wonderful kids I have they are so smart and so funny and so stinkin cute!! P.S. Tiger wouldn't pose for a "First Day of school pic" I guess he's getting too cool for us.

Great shot of Mike and Amy and the kids

He tries to be serious, but we all know better.

Rocky just couldn't resist walking in the shot, I love it.

Harold and I in a rare moment together

I love this shot cause you can only see half of us and Rocky shoes have fallen off.

My little troublemakers in a cute little moment together

Michaela, Abby, Roscoe and Paula Jane

Harold found an old painted Coke advertisement in an alley, made for a great backdrop

These are some great family pics that we got when Mike and Amy were here with their fancy camera. We just went to an old part of Twin Falls downtown and found some cool backdrops and took some pics, it was so much fun and SO cheap! Thanks Mike and Amy, and thanks Amy for yet again another talent, photography!!

MY NEW DOOR

Here is my before and after of my front door. I have always wanted a red door, and its RED!! It's the same door and it took alot of sanding painting and adding new wood and hardware, so worth it.

Hanging out with the Family

We have had a wonderful weekend so far with my brothers coming to visit and enjoying Pee-Wee and Jen's little Kaiyas big day (#1 Bday). Mike and his family and Ben and his boys came to stay and visit for a few days, what a treat it is to spend time with family and I am always amazed at how well we get along and how much I love them and their beautiful families. They came to my bootcamp class I taught, we all went Geocashing with the kids, and just had a great time.

This is the AWESOME cake that Pee-Wee's wife Jen made for Kaiyas big day, it was sooooooooo good!!!!!

Kaiya and Aunt Amy at her party

Kaiya and her dad, don't you just love her tutu

Me and Kaiya, I love when she makes this face!

I just love this pic, a row of Joe Cool's in their shades. Mike, Ben and the husband

This is Harold holding Mike's kite after it had been all rolled up

Tiger in a rare happy teenage moment

Regan playing in the water at Dierke's lake

All my bros came to my bootcamp class that I taught on Sat Morning at the YMCA, it was so much fun to have them all their.

Mike and Amy kids and mine (minus Tiger) out Geocashing at Rock Creek Park

This is Shoshone Falls from a different view

Bootcamp Mama

This is me and Gilly Funk, she is a little nicer than me, can you tell.

This is what you get when you come to class, I'll kick some behind.

This is my new best friend, my trusty timer for 1 minute of HE$@$ drills.

So I am officially a bootcamp instructor at the YMCA in Twin Falls. I taught my first class today and fell in love. I love it so much I keep forgetting I am getting paid (not much) but it's ok. I team taught, for my first time, with another first-timer, Gilly Funk. We didn't know eachother before, but we sure do now. So much fun and they were whining like babies.

Grandma Smith

As most of you know Grandma Smith has been in a nursing home for a while now, and when I get the chance I try to go and visit her, this is a pic from my last visit. I have truly enjoyed getting to know her, even if it has been later in both of our lives. What a sweet, interesting and fun lady (and remember 95 yr. old) she is.

Continental Breakfast

We went to Idaho Falls a couple weeks ago and helped Erin out with her garage sale, (the big boys went on a trip to Montana) Woody had decided he wanted a breakfast stand at the garage sale and called it a continental breakfast. He had a great time and has the right kind of personality, talking to everyone. After he paid back the money for his supplies he made about $15 dollars. Which he then tried to spend buying whatever was leftover at the garage sale. Aunt Erin gave him pretty sweet deals on what he wanted. (He was pretty sad that he couldn't get $20, he wanted to buy the TV at the garage sale, funny thing, WE BROUGHT IT) Ya gotta love Woody.

Who could resist anything from this face!!

I helped him make his sign, but he picked the price, and added the jokes line and the last line..........

Here's his "stand" what a great job he did, this was before we opened and he is NOT a morning person, but warmed up quickly and did a great job.

Woody the Farmer

So at the end of 3rd grade, in June, Woody brought home a small plant and says "Mom I need to grow my cabbage. If I grow the biggest cabbage before the 4th Grade I will win a prize" So we planted the cabbage and just watered it and watched it grow. Judging by his picks I am pretty sure he is going to win a great prize.

Fathers Day 2009

I love this picture. I had to get a shot of the Father of all these beautiful wonderful children. He is the best Dad I could have hoped for. These kids know more than anything in this whole world that Daddy loves them and will do and help them with anything. Thanks honey you are the absolute best hugger, catcher, comedian, provider, and wrestling partner!!

Downata Springs, Smith Reunion 2009

Dad and Rocky on the 4 wheeler

Can you say "Trailer"

This is 100% Rocky

Downata Springs 2009. Another eventful Smith Reunion, the kids were a bit older and easier. Harold brought his 4 wheeler this year and it was enjoyed by all, especially Jakob. Once again it rained ALOT, but it was so much fun and the kids love spending time with their cousins and love camping. (Smith kind of camping with showers and a bathroom and heated hot springs) We like to rough it.

A few of the boys enjoying the fire

Daddy and Punkin'

This was a funny moment when Dad and Cheryl tried riding the 4 Wheeler together.

Punkin found some horses and fed them some apples, the highlight of her trip
